I was a happy camper this afternoon as I enjoyed my first burrito from the brand new Toms River Moe's Southwest Grill, and if you're a morning person, you could be doing the same for the next year.
Hold on to your nachos, Ocean County! The fine folks over at Moe's Southwest Grill, coming to the Kohl's Plaza on Route 37, just reached out to let me know that they'll be pushing back their grand opening by a few days.
Over the years, I've made no secret of my love for Moe's Southwest Grill, and how excited I am for their upcoming Toms River location to open.
Well, today I found out when that will be.
I can not begin to tell you how excited I am to learn the news of the next new restaurant to come to Ocean County for the first time.
Toms River will be getting a Moe's Southwest Grill.
It was only two weeks ago that we told you about Point Pleasant based Bubbakoo's Burritos' impending expansion into Howell.
That was followed only days later when they dropped a surprise followup, announcing that they'll also be coming to Ocean Grove.
Well, they weren't done!
If you've never heard of a 'Playa Bowl', you'll be forgiven. But given the Monmouth County treat shop's success, it won't be long until you've not only heard of it, but you'll probably be seeing a location in your area soon!
Remember only days ago when we told you about Bubbakoo's Burritos, which started right here in Ocean County in 2008, announcing that their 12th location will be opening in Howell in the coming weeks? Well, it turns out that they had another surprise that they were holding close to the vest.
When I first moved to Ocean County 10 years ago this summer, a good friend of mine brought me to a new restaurant that had just opened on Bridge Avenue in Point Pleasant.
Since that first meal at Bubbakoo's Burritos, I've been a fan. In the time since then, they've also expanded at a rapid pace and are poised to open another new location in the coming weeks.
Only about two months ago we brought you the news of the closure of Toms River's landmark Rivoli's on Fischer Blvd.
And now, only a few weeks into the new year, we know what will be filling the space soon.
