Holy cow — look at all these new burger joints!

First Fat Patties opens in Beaufort. Now, it's Charbar Co. on Hilton Head.

From a release:

"This week, a group of Hilton Head Island locals are unveiling Charbar Co., a new restaurant in Park Plaza, to the public. Chef Charles Pejeau made the move from his post at Palmetto Bluff to take the helm as executive chef in the new venture. The team is taking a new approach to a classic American favorite — the burger ...

Charbar Co. is a fresh approach to not just 'better burgers' but to the fast casual segment as a whole. We will set ourselves apart from the competition with leading edge service methods and a chef inspired menu featuring gourmet burgers, signature sandwiches, veggie and seafood burgers, and salads — all for around $8-10 in a 30-minute dining experience."

These places are opening right in time for the inaugural HHI Burgers & Brew Festival coming up Oct. 13 at Shelter Cove Community Park. Already confirmed to appear are Charbar along with One Hot Mama’s, Reilley's, Frankie Bones, Cheap Seats, the Brew Pub, Hudson's, The Marriott, The Westin, Wild Wing Café, Coco's on the Beach and Harbourside Burgers & Brew.
