The highly anticipated opening of NFA Burger in Avalon finally has a date: Thursday, May 15. This will be the Chevron gas station burger joint’s first full-service restaurant. The opening comes weeks after owner Billy Kramer pulled out of Truist Park. He cited expediting the opening of this restaurant as the main reason for leaving the Truist Park food court.
The restaurant will serve its classic double-patty smash burger, a Polish sausage roll, tater tots and fries, and hot dogs.
