Cherry Hill’s burger scene is about to get another player.
7th Street Burger, the fast-growing smashburger concept that got its start in New York City, is planning a location along the busy Haddonfield Road corridor in Cherry Hill.
And yes, South Jersey Food Scene knows exactly where it’s going, but we’re going to have a little fun with this one.
Consider this your teaser. We’ll reveal the exact location soon, along with more details and a ballpark opening timeline as they become available.
7th Street Burger Continues Philly-Area Expansion
The Cherry Hill location comes as 7th Street Burger rapidly expands its footprint in the Philadelphia area.
The burger chain recently opened in Fishtown, bringing its signature smashburgers to Philadelphia for the first time. Another University City location will open this month, and a Center City location is expected to follow next month.
Now, the brand is setting its sights on South Jersey.
Cherry Hill makes plenty of sense for the concept. The township already supports several popular burger chains, including Shake Shack, The Habit Burger Grill, and Five Guys, while Haddonfield Road remains one of the area’s busiest dining and shopping corridors.
And burgers remain one of those tried-and-true comfort foods that rarely seem to go out of style. 7th Street Burger is betting that America’s appetite for smashburgers isn’t going away anytime soon.
A Simple Burger Concept That Took Off
Founded by two college friends, 7th Street Burger was built around a straightforward philosophy: do one thing and do it really well.
The company opened its first restaurant in New York City’s East Village in May 2021, taking its name from its original location at 7th Street and First Avenue.
Since then, the concept has grown well beyond New York, expanding into New Jersey, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Connecticut, Boston and, most recently, Philadelphia.
Despite that rapid growth, the menu has remained intentionally focused.
The main attraction is the made-to-order smashburger, available as a single or double, featuring smashed beef patties topped with American cheese, grilled onions, pickles and house sauce on a Martin’s potato roll.
There are also spicy jalapeño burgers, vegetarian Impossible burgers, fries and loaded fries.
It’s a relatively simple formula in an era when restaurant menus can sometimes stretch for pages and that simplicity has helped 7th Street Burger develop a loyal following.
Coming Soon to Cherry Hill
The arrival of 7th Street Burger will add yet another option to an increasingly crowded and competitive Cherry Hill restaurant scene.
For now, we’re keeping the exact address tucked away. But not for long, burger lovers!
