Located in Beaufort's Historic District on Queen Street, between Front and Ann Streets, the Beaufort Grocery Company brings subtle grace and charm reminiscent of a French country Bistro to the local scene.
The Beginning
1991
Charles Park, C.E.C., a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, a member of the prestigious Chaîne des Rôtisseurs™, and his wife Wendy, established the restaurant in 1991 on the site of the old Owens Grocery Store. Charles serves as Executive Chef of the establishment, while Wendy manages the front of the house and doubles as Pastry Chef. In 1994, the restaurant was expanded to the adjacent property at 115 Queen Street where special dinners, private parties, wedding receptions and other catered events are accommodated in the historic house, as well as in its beautifully landscaped garden.
Open six days a week (closed on Tuesdays) for lunch and dinner, the luncheon fare consists mainly of creative homemade soups, salads, deli-type sandwiches, fresh baked bread and a large assortment of Wendy's delectable varieties of cheesecake and other unique desserts. Take out service, including prepared picnic baskets are available. Brunch is also served on Sundays as a complement to the daily luncheon fare.
In the evening, the Beaufort Grocery Company transforms into one of the area's most sophisticated dining establishments with daily seafood specials and a wide variety of other entrees, appetizers and desserts further complimented by one of the premier wine lists in the region.
