While it was established in April 2024, the restaurant has the same bones as its former longtime incarnation as the Peconic Diner. It\u2019s still under Mary Ellis Nunez\u2019s ownership, too, but got a facelift and lots of new menu items last year. The entirely updated interior now features the addition of a fully stocked bar, and the prolific menu\u2019s Hispanic Heritage section, where Nunez\u2019s Dominican roots shine deliciously, is not to be missed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-vibe\"><strong>The Vibe<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Riverhead joint has a bit of a split-space feel. When you enter the restaurant, venture to the right for the diner-inspired area with bright lights, booths and big round tables. Pull up a chair to the sports bar \u2014 best for brunch \u2014 right beside the buzzing seating area. To the left it\u2019s moodier, dimly lit and the ultimate setting for a night out at the chic bar serving top-notch espresso martinis, mojitos and other creative cocktails.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-food\"><strong>The Food<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Options are in abundance on the eatery\u2019s multiple-page menu: loads of drinks, including cocktails, juices, milkshakes and smoothies; and diner classics from breakfast to burgers, soups, salads and American entrees. There is also what sets the restaurant apart \u2014 its Hispanic Heritage menu section with breakfast, apps, sides and marvelous mains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Colombian Empanadas\u00a0<\/strong>Although empanadas come in many varieties, these have a heartier composition. The thick corn exterior offers a subtle, buttery crunch, revealing the starchy potato-meat filling \u2014 your choice of chicken or beef \u2014 that leaves you thoroughly satiated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patacones Peconic&nbsp;<\/strong>Imagine an elevated nacho. That\u2019s what you\u2019re getting when you bite into this fried plantain loaded with fresh guac, pico de gallo and your choice of protein including shrimp, skirt steak, shredded beef, chicken or pork cracklings. The latter makes for a wonderful contrast of sweet creaminess on the base and crisp fatty flavor on top, all rounded out by the refreshing pico de gallo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mofongo<\/strong>&nbsp;This traditional Puerto Rican dish is assembled with a creamy garlic sauce served inside a fried-plantain-made bowl. Opt for shrimp, chicken, chicharron or steak, delightfully soaked in the decadent sauce, as the salty flavors balance perfectly against the silky plantain foundation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Peruvian Lomo Saltado&nbsp;<\/strong>Stir-fried steak cooked to a just-right medium has a tender, juicy texture and is complemented by the acidic hit of red onions and tomatoes. The main part of the meal speaks for itself, but the addition of French fries and jasmine rice give it a meat-\u2018n-potatoes base that\u2019s easy to love.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong>Peconic Eatery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>871 Old Country Road, Riverhead<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>631-591-0291<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/peconiceatery\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@peconiceatery<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open daily, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>See more from <a href=\"https:\/\/northforker.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">northforker.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"847\" src=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/C38A1178-scaled-e1765639634303-1-1024x847.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-130712 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/C38A1178-scaled-e1765639634303-1-1024x847.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/C38A1178-scaled-e1765639634303-1-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/C38A1178-scaled-e1765639634303-1-768x635.jpg 768w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/C38A1178-scaled-e1765639634303-1-1536x1271.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/C38A1178-scaled-e1765639634303-1.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/northforker.com\/2025\/12\/attitude-of-gratitude-documenting-gratitude-can-improve-mood-outlook-connection-and-keep-you-feelingblessed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attitude of Gratitude: Documenting gratitude can improve mood and keep you #feelingblessed<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/iStock-2214002796.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-130713 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/iStock-2214002796.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/iStock-2214002796-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/iStock-2214002796-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/iStock-2214002796-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/northforker.com\/2025\/12\/the-north-fork-knows-how-to-party-where-to-eat-sip-and-celebrate-new-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The North Fork knows how to party: Where to eat, sip and celebrate New Year\u2019s<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peconic Eatery&nbsp;is anything but a new pin on the map for avid North Fork diner-goers.
