Parris Island Grads, Celebrate with Us
Parris Island Grads (in uniform) eat FREE on Graduation Day! We proudly support our Parris Island Military Grads. Planning a celebration for your Parris Island Grad? Come celebrate with lunch or dinner at Panini's on the Waterfront in downtown Beaufort.
To show our support for the men and women of our armed services, we invite all Parris Island Graduates (in uniform) to eat for FREE here at Panini's on the Waterfront on Graduation Day! These dedicated men and women have certainly earned it and deserve to be treated to dinner on their special day – and we're glad to do it!
Panini's is also a great place for visiting relatives and friends to eat lunch or dinner while in Beaufort for Family Day celebrations that take place on the last two days of recruit training. Family Day occurs Thursday and gives new Marines a chance to see family and friends for the first time during on-base liberty. Also remember that Panini's River Deck is pet -friendly, so your favorite furry member of the family is always welcome to join you for dinner!
Parris Island is not only important to our local Beaufort area, but the entire United States military as well. Did you know hundreds of thousands of Marines have trained on the Depot during each major conflict of the 20th century? Parris Island is also one of the most visited military facilities in the world, hosting more than 120,000 visitors a year. This translates into a significant economic impact for surrounding communities.
