Capon’s Burgers Opens at Bergen Town Center in Paramus, NJ
One of North Jersey’s newest burger restaurants has officially opened inside Bergen Town Center in Paramus. Capon’s Burgers, a burger concept created by celebrity chef and restaurateur Josh Capon, opened its first New Jersey location on August 26, 2026. The new restaurant brings Capon’s self-described “no-frills burger joint” to one of Bergen County’s busiest shopping destinations. The Paramus restaurant is only the second Capon’s Burgers location. The original operates inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas, making the Bergen Town Center opening the brand’s first expansion into New Jersey.

The restaurant’s official website confirms that the Bergen Town Center location is now open.

What Is on the Menu at Capon’s Burgers in Paramus?
Capon’s Burgers focuses on a straightforward fast-casual menu centered around burgers and chicken sandwiches.
The menu also includes:
French fries
Chicken sandwiches
Ice cream
Milkshakes
Other classic burger-joint sides and desserts
The concept is designed around familiar American comfort food served in a casual setting. Instead of building an oversized fine-dining menu, Capon’s Burgers places its attention on the core items people expect from a modern burger restaurant.
That simplicity will put added pressure on the burgers themselves. In a region filled with smash burgers, specialty burgers and long-established local restaurants, Capon’s will have to prove that its food can stand out in Bergen County’s competitive burger scene.
Who Is Chef Josh Capon?
Josh Capon is a chef and restaurateur known for his work in the New York City restaurant industry and appearances on the Food Network.
Capon has operated several restaurant concepts and developed a reputation for burgers through his work as a chef and competitive burger maker. Capon’s Burgers represents his move into a more casual restaurant format focused on burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries and shakes.
The Bergen Town Center opening also expands Capon’s presence in Bergen County. Capon’s Chophouse, his more upscale steakhouse concept, is located nearby at The Shops at Riverside in Hackensack.
That gives North Jersey customers two very different ways to experience his food: an elevated steakhouse in Hackensack and a casual burger restaurant in Paramus.
Why the Paramus Opening Matters
Capon’s Burgers entering Paramus is notable for several reasons.
First, this is not a large national chain opening another routine location. The Paramus restaurant is only the second Capon’s Burgers in operation and the first outside Las Vegas.
Second, the opening gives Bergen Town Center another food destination built around a recognizable chef and restaurant personality.
Shopping centers across New Jersey are continuing to invest in restaurants, entertainment and experience-driven businesses as they compete with online shopping. A restaurant connected to a well-known chef gives customers another reason to visit the property beyond traditional retail.
The opening also puts Capon’s directly into the North Jersey burger conversation. Bergen County already has independent burger restaurants, national chains, diners and full-service restaurants competing for the same customers.
The real question is whether a Las Vegas-born celebrity-chef burger can become one of Paramus’ essential food stops.
Is Capon’s Burgers Worth Trying?
Capon’s Burgers will likely attract three different groups: fans of Josh Capon, shoppers looking for food at Bergen Town Center and North Jersey burger lovers searching for something new.
The restaurant has the name recognition and an interesting origin story. It started in Las Vegas, expanded to Paramus and is backed by a chef with years of experience in the New York and New Jersey restaurant market.
However, reputation alone will not determine its success.
Customers will ultimately judge Capon’s Burgers on the quality of the beef, crust on the burger, bun, cheese, sauce, fries and overall value. Those details will decide whether the restaurant becomes a lasting Bergen County favorite or simply another new opening people try once.
For now, Capon’s Burgers is officially open and immediately becomes one of the most notable new restaurants to watch in Paramus.

Our take
Capon’s Burgers has one of the strongest restaurant-opening stories in North Jersey right now: a Las Vegas-born burger concept, a celebrity chef, a major Paramus location and only two restaurants in the entire brand.
The opening has the potential to become more than a quick mall-food stop. If the burgers deliver, Capon’s could develop into a legitimate Bergen County destination.
The next step is simple: taste the food and see whether one of New Jersey’s newest burger restaurants deserves a place among North Jersey’s best.
