Born and raised in New York, then spending two decades in Chicago, I got used to having wonderful…read morefood and restaurants close by. As an Italian American, food has always meant more to me than a good meal. It's how we celebrate, connect, and make people feel at home. So when I moved to a small Southern town, I wondered whether I'd find a restaurant that felt like my kind of place. From the moment I walked into Beaufort Grocery, I knew I had. Over the past four and a half years, they've welcomed us with open arms, greeted us with kisses on the cheek, remembered my drink, surprised me with my favorite dessert on my birthday, and treated us on our anniversary. Those moments mean so much. What I love most is the way the staff cares for one another and extends that same warmth to everyone who walks through the door. The food is spectacular, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the people are truly special. Beaufort Grocery is a little slice of heaven in my Hallmark movie town. I'm so grateful I found it, and even more grateful to call the people there my found family.

We tried Beaufort Grocery Co. for Sunday brunch, and apparently everyone else had the same idea!…read more They open at 10, and there was already a line out the door right at opening with about a 45-minute wait for indoor seating. Since it's mid-August, we happily chose to wait for a table inside rather than brave the heat. While we waited, we hung out in the bar area. It's small but really cute and inviting, with a ton of fun drink options. I'm pregnant, so I went with one of their mocktails, and it was delicious! The food was absolutely worth the wait. The portions are HUGE, everything was cooked perfectly, and the pricing felt very reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. Seating inside is definitely a little tight, but that's really the only downside we found. Overall, we had a great experience and honestly didn't mind the wait at all. If there's a line when you get there, I'd say stick it out, the brunch is worth it!

You can also order ahead on the website and they do offer delivery as well. But I went in person. They were very patient with me as I planned out my orders, with a lot of choices, I have trouble deciding what to get. I sensed that there were a lot of regulars stopping in too as the staff knew them by name. While I was there, I noticed some trays prepared for pickups and they were working on some others. The salad; cookies and chicken salad looked delicious. I had planned to stop back for lunch but didn't get there this trip. So that lunch will need to wait until next time.
