Who runs Riverhead
Riverhead is run by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles itself.
Riverhead is in Suffolk County, one of the 11 counties, Albany, Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Onondaga, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester, that section 205 excepts from the county clerk agency, so it is staffed and run by the state itself and there is no county retention on what you pay at 200 Old Country Rd.
Appointments and what you can do online
On its office locator the DMV says it "strongly encourage[s] making a reservation" at offices such as Riverhead, and that when waits are long only people holding one are let in. The same page says booking is "not available for all DMV office locations", so whether Riverhead takes a reservation is settled on that locator and not here.
Anything that can be finished online does not need Riverhead at all, and the New York online services guide sets out which transactions those are.

Before you go to Riverhead
Call (718) 477-4820 before setting out for 200 Old Country Rd if your transaction is at all unusual, because the state files that number as the public line for Riverhead itself rather than as a statewide queue.
Take to Riverhead the documents the transaction needs rather than the ones you happen to have: what counts for a New York license or ID is listed in the REAL ID and Enhanced license guide, and what a registration needs is in the registration guide. A second trip to Riverhead costs more than the reading does.
What you pay is set statewide rather than at the Riverhead counter, and the current schedule is in the New York DMV fee guide.
