Elevation Burger In Plainview Marks Grand Opening Friday With Free Burgers, Giveaways

Elevation Burger, the Falls Church, VA-based restaurant chain – the first and largest organic burger chain in the country – will mark the grand opening of its first Long Island restaurant, in Plainview, with free hamburgers and other giveaways on Friday, Sept. 8.

The restaurant, located in the Woodbury Plaza shopping center at 437 S Oyster Bay Rd., at the intersection of Woodbury Road, also will celebrate the opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony with Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Legislator Arnold Drucker and other VIPs.

The first 100 customers on Friday starting at 11 a.m. will receive free hamburgers. In addition, Elevation Burger will be giving away T-shirts and pins good for promotions on future dates.

Family friendly Elevation Burger uses 100 percent USDA-certified organic, grass-fed, free-range beef that is ground on-site at each of its restaurants. In addition to the Elevation Burger, the menu includes a vegan burger, a vegetarian burger, a grilled chicken sandwich, grilled cheese sandwich, salad, hand-cut fries made with heart-healthy olive oil and hand-spun milkshakes.

The signature Elevation Burger features two beef patties, cooked when ordered and topped by real cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, picks and Elevation Sauce. Burgers are served on potato buns, whole-wheat buns, gluten-free buns or in a lettuce wrap. The restaurant offers Heinz Select ketchup, which is free of high-fructose corn syrup. Cane sugar sweetened soft drinks are available in addition to regular Coca-Cola products.

Behind the new Elevation Burger is Asif Siddiqui, of New Hyde Park. “I first heard about Elevation Burger from friends who drove 45 minutes to the nearest location in Yonkers,” said Siddiqui. “I couldn't understand the allure that would have people driving nearly an hour and decided to take my family to see what the buzz was about.” Impressed by what he saw—and tasted— he decided, “This would do good on Long Island.”

Siddiqui said his unit is among the chain’s first to sport a new design. The 1,750-square-foot sleek restaurant is decorated with blonde-wood tables, black wire-mesh seating, black subway-tile walls and stone floors.
