BRICK-Mayor John Ducey today announced that the former site of Joe’s Crab Shack here is in the process of becoming two separate restaurants sharing the same location. The announcement came during the mayor’s monthly public Facebook Live conversation with residents.
For those who were hoping there would be a new chain brand, you could be pleasantly disappointed as the new tenants both already run successful restaurants but they aren’t franchises.
A portion of the restaurant will house an Italian restaurant called “Tre” and the other will be “Rosalita’s Roadside Cantina” offering a combination of Italian cuisine and Mexican dishes.
Both restaurants will be the second location for each.
Tre currently operates a restaurant on Route 33 in Freehold. Rosalita’s Roadside Cantina currently operates in Englishtown or Route 9 serving a menu of Texmex cuisine.
As both restaurants will share a kitchen and liquor license, alcohol will be served at both venues.
For those who cannot wait for the new restaurants, a grand opening will be held this Saturday at the Jersey Farms Plaza on Lanes Mills Road for Tacoholics, a new restaurant being opened by the popular food truck vendor.
