Burger Village is scheduled to open at 61-09 190th St. in Fresh Meadows on Nov. 15, bringing the burger chain its first Queens location. The 5,500-square-foot bar and grill is planned to accommodate up to 200 guests; the first 100 guests who dine there that day will receive free burgers, QNS reported. The restaurant will serve burgers alongside other food options and have a full-service bar, according to the outlet.
A former restaurant site
The planned opening follows an earlier lease announcement for the same address. Commercial Observer reported in October 2025 that Burger Village had signed a lease for 5,040 square feet in a space formerly occupied by Hooters. That report documents the lease and prior tenant, not the Nov. 15 opening. It gives a different area figure from QNS’s 5,500-square-foot description; the available reports do not explain the difference.
Fresh Meadows has had other individual restaurant openings, though they do not establish a wider trend. QNS reported that taim Mediterranean Kitchen held a grand opening there on March 22, 2023. It was a separate event for a Mediterranean restaurant, not part of Burger Village’s expansion.
The wider retail setting
For broader commercial context, Federal Realty Investment Trust describes Fresh Meadows Place, at 188th Street and the Horace Harding Expressway, as a shopping and entertainment destination with retail, fast-casual restaurants, services and parking. That description helps situate the area’s commercial offerings; it is not a zoning account of 190th Street or evidence about demand for the new restaurant.
