Beaufort County residents are about to indulge in delicious treats like frozen custard, cheese curds and the iconic butter burgers from the Culver’s chain restaurant headed to the area soon.
The new location in Beaufort, at 2338 Boundary Street, is closer to introducing Lowcountry residents to its Wisconsin-inspired dishes.

This new Culver’s location is taking the spot of what was once Applebee’s, which briefly turned into the Los Gallos Mexican Restaurant.
The space has been vacant since 2017.
Now, this once-empty space will give new life to Beaufort residents to enjoy iconic burgers, onion rings, custard and more. Culver’s will be located next to the Waffle House and Publix shopping center off Boundary Street.
What else is coming?
But luckily for the Lowcountry, a second Culver’s location was approved back in January for the town of Bluffton.
It is set to be built along Buckwalter Place Boulevard and Innovation Drive at the roundabout, across the street from Station 300.
An opening date for the Bluffton location is not yet available.
