A popular neighborhood burger spot plans to open its third location next spring.
Heavy’s Barburger, founded in 2022 by John and Brenda Haire, is set to open its Isle of Palms location at 1012 Ocean Blvd., according to The Post and Courier.
“We’re packing our beach bag! Excited to smash burgers & shake margaritas on the Isle of Palms next Spring!” the burger joint shared via Facebook.
Heavy’s currently runs two locations in downtown Charleston and Daniel Island. Its new Isle of Palms outpost will replicate the same “vibey” atmosphere, complete with a vintage sound system playing classic jams alongside its signature American fare.
The joint is known for its quarter-pound smash burgers crafted from a blend of Angus short rib, brisket and chuck roll. Its signature Barburger features double patties topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, pickles and Heavy’s house sauce—all made fresh daily.
For the full American experience, pair any burger with a homemade milkshake and crinkle-cut fries.
Heavy’s also serves wings, tenders, soups, salads and sandwiches. One of its standout sandwiches is the fried chicken, marinated in buttermilk and a salt-and-sugar brine.
The name honors Haire’s grandfather, a well-known figure in his hometown of Northwest Florida. Friends and family gave him the nickname, which reflects his community spirit and willingness to lend a hand. The spirit inspired the opening of Heavy’s, according to the website.
