Uniondale Burgerfi closed

Post by HofstraPride1 »

I just found out the Burgerfi by Hofstra has closed. I'm not shocked since it was usually not a big crowd when I would go in there before a Hofstra game, but still disappointing it didn't work out. It will be interesting to see who tries to move in there next. A Jersey Mike's is slated to open next door where Subway used to be.

fast food should do well. Where is the nearest Taco Bell? If the closest is in East Meadow or Hempstead then Taco Bell should do well there.

Burgerfi is technically fast food but was probably too pricey for neighborhood and students. Perhaps a Chick-Fil-A would be good fit since still not too many on Long Island.

I just saw sign in front of BurgerFi saying a new Chinese American concept is coming next couple weeks. No idea what that it will entail, but glad that at least something is moving in.

Bye-bye, BurgerFi. I hope the "new concept" doesn't take forever to prepare the food.

I drove by today and saw signs for place called Grain House, which said will feature Chinese grill and beer.

Here is story on the new Chinese eatery and a burger joint that will also be sharing space there. Hopefully will thrive and be positive addition to the Hofstra area.

The burger joint next to the Chinese eatery is also open now. Is called BF Nation Burgers. Certainly an odd combination but I hope things work out.

Sadly the burger businesses is already closed soon after they put up signs for it. Now is just Chinese and looked empty when I drove by yesterday. On positive side at least Jersey Mike's seems to be faring well.

Sort of related, Hofstra USA now features a Smashburger. I would assume it's open to the public.

Nice addition to campus. Newsday also had a review on Grain House last week http://www.newsday.com/lifestyle/restau ... 1.14099377
