Cook Out Restaurants, a North Carolina-based burger chain known for its 40 flavors of shakes, char-grilled burgers, barbecue and fervent patrons, is coming to Beaufort.
“We’re super excited to get started,” Jeremy Reaves of Cook Out-Beaufort, the owner, of Thomasville, N.C., told the Beaufort Gazette and Island Packet Friday.
The restaurant is proposed for 122 Robert Smalls Parkway. Reaves says he hopes to open in March.
The 8,490-square-foot Golden Corral restaurant building would be demolished to make way for the 3,083-square-foot Cook Out with dine-in and drive-through options, according to Cook Out-Beaufort’s application with the city.
But first, Cook Out-Beaufort needs the OK from the Beaufort Zoning Board of Appeals. The board will discuss the restaurant’s request for parking variances at 5:30 p.m. Monday.
It would be the 40th Cook Out in South Carolina, and the second in Beaufort County behind the restaurant at Hilton Head.
Originating in Greensboro, N.C., Cook Out is a privately owned quick service restaurant chain operating in Alabama, the Carolinas, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
Its creamery features “fancy” milkshakes with more than three dozen flavors ranging from fresh banana to cheesecake to peach cobbler.
