Stars’ Coney burger joint hits the Wahl

- Gina Salamone

CONEY ISLAND’s location of Wahlburger­s is toast — at least for now.

The outpost of the celebrity burger chain founded by actor Mark Wahlberg and his brothers, singer Donnie and Paul, a chef, shut down last week.

“The franchise group that heads up Coney Island is restructur­ing,” a rep for Wahlburger­s tells the Daily News. “Now that we are through Labor Day weekend, it seems like the right time to close the restaurant.”

No firm date has been set for the reopening, the rep said. Posts on the Upper East Side and in Port Jefferson Station remain open.

Plenty of fans speculated on why the outpost may have shuttered.

“Terrible service, dirty tables and when food comes out cold, they actually ask you if you want it heated up,” a Facebook user named Millie Pobega Loughnane said under Wahlburger­s’ post about the closing.

Others said the seasonal, seaside location may have been a factor.
