A new barbecue restaurant is coming to downtown Beaufort along the waterfront park.
According to a report from our friends at The Island News, Mother Smokin’ Good BBQ announced will be opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant in downtown Beaufort at 101 Scott Street, which is the site of the former YoYo’s Ice Cream Shop next to the playground.
According to the article, popular food truck owners Marquith and Danielle Green said the new spot will offer take-out service only, but with an expanded menu from what they serve on their truck.
“The new spot will allow us to expand on what we’ve offered on our food truck menu, and to add additional items,” Danielle told The Island News.
“Our menu will offer ribs, brisket, pulled pork nachos, turkey legs and chicken, as well as other Lowcountry favorites including hash, collard greens, black eyed peas over rice and all of the other fixings you expect from a local southern barbecue restaurant,” she added in the article.
According to the report, the couple have been looking for a brick-and-mortar spot to open a restaurant for two years and have been searching for the perfect location while looking at several.
Marquith started the food truck in 2017, and in 2021, his wife Danielle joined the flavor-packed venture, expanding the menu and catering, according to the Mother Smokin’ Good website.
In addition to winning several awards, the food truck has been featured in Travel & Leisure and also on Moe Cason’s World of Flavor show, where they were serving up BBQ to the Marines on Parris Island. They’ve also bee spotlighted in Local Life magazine in 2024.
Plans are to have the new barbecue take-out spot open in the middle of May, right after the upcoming Taste of Beaufort festival, and they plan to be open seven days a week.
