Beaufort is getting another seafood spot with a new seafood restaurant opening later this month on Ribaut Road.
Mr. Seafood plans to open on May 26th in the old Pizza Hut building at 1281 Ribaut Road that was most recently home to two Italian restaurants, Bricole Bistro and Bella Napoli Italian restaurant.
No stranger to seafood, the Beaufort Mr. Seafood restaurant’s part-owner, Rasheed Nurudin, operates a popular location in Columbia that’s been around awhile and has also opened a third Mr. Seafood location in Charlotte, NC.
Mr. Seafood offers a variety of seafood in a fast, casual atmosphere.
“Our shrimp and blue crabs will be sourced locally in Beaufort,” part-owner Julius Tolbert said.
Coming to town frequently to purchase local blue crabs for his Columbia restaurant, Nurudin and Tolbert are familiar with Beaufort.
“We really enjoy the people in Beaufort, the area and the military presence in the city,” he added when asked why they decided to set up shop in town.”
Tolbert also said that they plan to hire about 25 people in a variety of positions when the restaurant opens for inside dining, and could add more because they also operate a food truck.
Mr. Seafood offers a variety of seafood baskets including fish, crab legs, steamed and fried shrimp, oysters and scallops and it will be one of the few spots in the area to offer snow crab legs on the menu.
They also boast an award winning garlic butter sauce that has become the restaurant’s trademark.
Other menu options will include chicken wings, hush puppies, fried okra, fried green tomatoes, fried corn and fish sandwiches, among others.
The Ribaut Road location is planning a curbside-only soft opening for Tuesday, May 26th, from 2pm to 7pm.
We certainly welcome another seafood restaurant option here in Beaufort.
