I had vowed not to post about Moderne Burger again until they re-opened. That was back in December. In February, Urban Diner posted some pictures of the new interior and reported that Peter (owner?) thought the opening was “three to four weeks away.” Right. I knew better than to get my hopes up, but we’re now three months past that point, and there really doesn’t seem to be much activity anytime I walk by.
However, yesterday there was a glimmer of hope; they were bringing in the wood frames for the booths, as well as what looked liked cushion material. It’ll probably be another 3 months for the faux-leather upholstery to arrive though…

How can these guys afford to stay closed for soooo long???
I believe the official opening date is the week of June 16th.
I too saw booths being taken inside and called spoke with the owner.
Peter said that after many delays the construction was now finished and they were to start cleaning up to get ready to open.
I hope this update helps.
Walked by today the inside looks very close to being finished.
As to the kitchen and all the various permits to occupy/operate I have no idea.
I am *dying* to go to Moderne Burger. If for nothing else, just to have their review on my blog 😉
I predict that they re-open on Friday June 20th. I’m lining up on Thursday night.
This is getting ridiculous. I am almost thinking of boycotting the joint. The same thing happened when they had the fire in 2005. It took forever.. Learn to estimate better! You have upset your patrons…we are all having burger withdraw,which is not pretty….
