New York Style Burger Joint, 5 Boroughs, Expands to Morayfield

5 Boroughs

Prepare to experience a slice of New York as 5 Boroughs expands with their biggest venture yet, a sixth outlet to open in Morayfield which is expected to create at least 60 jobs for the local employment market.



On 4 November 2021, owners Todd and Marisa Clayton will welcome hungry diners craving American-style burgers, steaks, and sandwiches to 5 Boroughs at the Morayfield Retail Village, taking over the former site of Harris Scarfe. In the last few months, the Claytons have been busy overseeing the renovation that will accommodate some 200 guests. 

Setting up a food business in Morayfield is not new to the Claytons, who ran a cafe in the area before they hit it big with 5 Boroughs. They know the untapped market pretty well and saw the potential of bringing the “New York state of mind” to this growing suburb.

After hiring a local manager, the Claytons are still filling up the rest of the staff positions who can work part-time or full-time at 5 Boroughs Morayfield. The restaurant and bar will be busy seven days a week.

Meanwhile, guests may expect to order from the same mouth-watering menu enjoyed by diners from the other five locations, including the store’s popular hand-rolled Angus beef patties. 

“Since 2015 we have been serving up hand-crafted burgers, NY style sandwiches, wings, tacos, waffle fries, steaks and pork ribs with a full cocktail and bar menu delivered to you in a lively atmosphere leaving you in that New York state of mind,” the Claytons said. Eventually, the Morayfield store might offer live music as well. 

To celebrate opening day, 5 Boroughs Morayfield will hold a raffle draw for a chance to win a burger a week for one year. Details will be finalised on their Facebook page
