Moe’s Southwest Grill to open in Riverhead Thursday
Burrito and queso lovers, rejoice! Moe’s Southwest Grill will open its Riverhead location tomorrow.
After several months of renovations at its new storefront on Route 58, the Mexican-style eatery will open at 11 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 25.
In addition, Moe’s will host a fundraiser for the Riverhead High School Boys Basketball Booster Club from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday with 50 percent of all sales benefiting the club.
“Residents on Long Island have come to love Moe’s and I believe the Riverhead community will also enjoy our fresh, made-to-order food and family-friendly atmosphere,” said franchise partner Guy Constantopolis, who also owns the Moe’s restaurants in Hampton Bays and Rocky Point and various area 7-Eleven stores. “We’re excited to introduce ourselves to a new community by supporting an organization that will truly benefit from this event.”
Earlier this year, Moe’s Southwest Grill announced plans to take over a 3,000-square-foot space that once housed Ground Round.
