The Food and the Service were fantastic. I had the Ahi Poke bowl on a bed of broccoli slaw and it was delicious. I recommend you all give it a try!!

If the amazing comfort food wasnt enuff to make me feel better while being sick, Taylor’s warm welcoming and kind personality is. Amazing menu crafted by one of the best chefs in the area. Staffed by people who exceed in hospitality and have created a warm welcoming spot for any meal.

Chef’s Deli and the Bistro are both Chef Justin Sharpe’s establishments. We happen to dine in the Bistro and it was amazing. Glass of Cabernet and the crab cake starter was the perfect introduction. My en’ tree was a filet surf and turf with the potato chip crusted grouper, wonderful. My partner had the grouper Mediterranean which was equally delicious. Our server, Jason, was very attentive and a delight to talk to. Overall a delightful culinary experience, not to be missed.

Being local and seeing the reviews, we had to try this place. We went for lunch on a Sunday. Quaint little place with outside seating. My wife ordered the Italian sandwich. It was excellent. She had the grits as a side and they were excellent as well. I ordered Chef's Fat Boy Burger. The patty had to have been precooked and warmed up. It was very dry and the burger seemed to be room temp. It was topped with a cold thick slice of cream cheese and a overcooked fried egg. I asked to add jalapeños, but those were left off. We will be back for the sandwiches, but I will stay away from the burgers. We will have to try the dinner menu that looks appealing.
We stumbled upon Chef 30A Bistro from other TripAdvisor reviews and couldn’t agree more! We arrived at lunchtime, and wanted something easy and good. We were amazed by the culinary delight and creative menu of this chef-owned bistro!! We ended up coming back four times in 4 days enjoying something different each time. We also enjoyed interacting with Chef Justin, and hearing about his passion for his craft. Highly recommend!

This has to be one of the most underrated restaurants on 30A. We come three times a year and hands down, we had one of the best meals we've eaten in years this week. I had the kettle crusted grouper. Perfectly cooked and the cheese grits are better than they make in my hometown, Charleston! Husband had the ribeye and it was stellar as well. Brussels sprouts are muah!

Great food! Picked up two entries and really enjoyed them both! Will definitely come back to try additional plates!

Underwhelming. As a local, I hate to be the one but I didnt care for our experience. We went on a Sunday (to the bistro location a few doors down) & when we walked in it was so full of grill smoke we couldn’t see. It was hot & stuffy. The cashier was super friendly so I give 5 stars for him. The water pitchers were uncovered sitting under shelving of bottles & cans. So anytime a bottle or can is retrieved from the cooler, stuff falls in the open water pitchers. The two poke bowls we ordered were just ok. The ahi itself was good & fresh, the teriyaki chicken was like a salt lick. Too salty almost to inedible. The sauce selection is salty & lacks any flavor profiles. So you end up with a $22 bowl of rice with salty sauce all over all of it. Even with cucumbers & tomatoes..no freshness or brightness. Bummer.
