As the Lowcountry continues to grow, more fan-favorite food options are beginning to pop up all over town.
Now, Beaufort County residents are about to indulge in delicious Midwestern cuisine and treats like frozen custard, cheese curds and the iconic ButterBurgers from the Culver’s chain restaurant that’s on its way to Bluffton.
The City of Bluffton Planning Commission approved a brand new Culver’s location to be built between Buckwalter Place Boulevard and Innovation Drive at the roundabout, across the street from Station 300.
While this new location hasn’t broken ground just yet, Bluffton project managers and Culver’s owners are looking forward to seeing what this new restaurant can bring to the community (other than great food).
Another Culver’s location also appears to be in the works for the city of Beaufort and is set to be located at 2338 Boundary Street.
What is Culver’s?
Culver’s is a hybrid drive-through and sit-down chain restaurant that originally began in Sauk City, Wisconsin.
Known for what is referred to as “fast-casual” dining, Culver’s aims to get its customers from the order speaker to the window in under 50 seconds.
Culver’s restaurant chain states on its website that they use fresh beef and white meat chicken from American family farms. With its Wisconsin roots, farm-fresh dairy is used for its custard with cheese coming from Wisconsin farms to ensure fresh food is always served to customers.
With over 900 locations nationwide, Culver’s is known for its creamy custard, fresh chicken and crinkle fries. You can view their full menu here.
There are currently locations in Pooler and Savannah, Georgia.

Starbucks in Beaufort
But that’s not all, it looks like the city of Beaufort is also expected to get not one … but two new Starbucks locations.
That’s right, you can get your pumpkin spice, matcha, cold brews and all things in between soon.
The two locations are:
Lady’s Island at Sea Island Parkway and Ferry Road. It is planned to be built in the wooded area across from SouthState Bank and Sea Island Carts.

These projects have been in the works for some time now, especially the location on Lady’s Island, but an updated timeline shows that they are expected to be completed around March of 2026.
Carolina Retail Experts, a Charleston-based retail company, represented Starbucks in helping them secure this new location on Lady’s Island.
While all of these projects are in the early stages of development, check back for updates and progress.
