The story
Slay Burgers, a smashed burger restaurant inspired by the video game World of Warcraft, has opened its second location on Route 1 in Chester. The 1,600-square-foot space more than doubles the size of the original Brookland Park location and marks the restaurant's expansion into full-service dining.
The Chester location features custom artwork covering its interior walls, incorporating both World of Warcraft and burger-themed design elements. The restaurant serves Slay Burgers' full menu of smashed burgers, wings, and chicken sandwiches, with dine-in service available at seven four-seat tables and seven two-seat tables. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday 12 to 6 p.m., closed Mondays.
The restaurant was founded in 2023 by partners Ahmed Maksher and Moe Alradaei, who drew inspiration from their shared love of World of Warcraft. Menu items reference the game, and the name "Slay Burgers" is itself a gaming reference.
