Seabrookers have a new restaurant to go to right outside the gate. Rib-it as you might imagine is a place that specializes in barbeque. The food is good and very reasonably priced. That’s one of the reasons owner Ben Quincy decided to open his new restaurant next to Lucy’s.
Ben is a very personable man who has spent 20 years perfecting his BBQ sauce. Ben says people will love his sauce and has heard some say it’s the best they’ve ever had.
Rib-it has a small, but appealing menu, including racks of Ben’s special made ribs, Nathan’s hotdogs, chicken, pork bbq, and tasty mac-n-cheese and slaw sides. All menu items are priced for everyone’s wallet.
Another item that Rib-it will be serving is a number of different flavored Italian ice. The Italian ice is made in New York by a family that has been doing it for 60 years. For Ben, it’s always about the best quality at the best price. His ribs are imported Danish baby-back ribs of the highest quality, and Nathan’s hotdogs have a reputation that speaks for itself.
Rib-it also does take-out. For more information call 641-7600.
The Town of Seabrook Island was represented at the recent South Carolina Municipal Association’s Advocacy Meeting. Mayors, Town Council members, and administrators met to discuss recently adopted state-wide legislation and anticipated legislation. Sam Reed, Seabrook Island Town Council member represented our barrier islands. The State Municipal Association emphasizes the needs of cities and towns in our state, so that they might provide quality services to their citizens. Town residents are best served when local leaders have the tools to satisfy local needs. Some of the issues discussed dealt with allocation of accommodation tax revenues; business license fees; and funding for roads. There was also a lengthy discussion of a proposed new Hazardous Properties Receivership Act, which would give Towns and other responsible parties a new tool to deal with abandoned and/or dilapidated structures.
One of the unique events that Seabrookers and visitors to Seabrook enjoy watching is the dolphins. What some don’t realize when they see the dolphin is that they are not just swimming but are working herding fish for what is known as strand feedings. This occurs when the dolphin have herded a large group of fish together and onto the shore where they feast on the fish.

National Geographic Magazine, contacted the local expert on Strand Feeding Captain Chad Hayes, to help them with a large production series they were filming for an upcoming special on predators. The National Geographic crew consider the feeding behavior of our local dolphins to be one of the most impressive among all predators worldwide. They especially needed Captain Hayes expertise of the dolphins and their Kiawah River habitat to be able film them from multiple angels and with multiple cameras. Captain Hayes and the crew filmed for nearly two weeks and got some amazing footage. The crew filmed over 100 strand feeding events. It is uncertain when the special will air but it will be a huge production.
