Restaurants in Bluffton

“This is a great place for brunch with some interesting and different options. A lovely space with good service. I would return.”

“Food was innovative & overall a 5. The fried chicken kare kare was a favorite. Tip: Don't eat outside until they add fans or something to discourage the unbelievably aggressive flies! My wife & I spent the entire brunch trying in vain to keep them off our food & drinks .”

“Our server was extremely accommodating. I had been here once before and loved a sandwich that was no longer on the menu. After explaining why I came back, he quickly went to the kitchen to see if they could make that sandwich… and they did! The margarita pizza is the best in Bluffton. Great atmosphere and even better service and food”

“Best birria tacos I’ve ever had by far. Would drive hours to have this again it’s worth coming”

“The She-crab soup was terrific. The shrimp and grits were good, but not what I was expecting. The grits were prepared in little cakes the size of crab cakes, and the sausage was sliced kind of like pepperoni. It was good, just different. And a large enough portion that I couldn't finish it. My friend had crab cakes and was very happy with them.”

Don’t hesitate to try it! We really hope it makes it to the permanent menu, but either way we highly recommend this place! Show them some love & stop in! 😁”

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! 35/10”

“We had an outstanding dinner at River House for Thanksgiving. We have eaten there multiple times and each time have had a great experience and meal. Thanksgiving was no dinner. We were seated promptly in a nice table with a window and fireplace! The view of Riverhouse over the May river is lovely at sun down. Service was excellent, professional, timely, helpful, unobtrusive. The drinks were, wine selection excellent. The crab cake is to die for and made, who knew, with mostly crab! The file amazing and sides, sauce and deserts all excellent. We visit often and visit Riverhouse frequently. Don't miss it!”

“Tonight was our 2nd time eating at Crudo and once again everything was amazing. We started with the crispy octopus which was flavorful and tender. It was recommended to us by the server and another couple we ended up talking to seated next to us, and it was truly a fantastic recommendation. My husband had the Wagyu steak which was better than any local steakhouse in the area and I had the Lobster Roll which was sweet, tender, and juicy. The service was impeccable and Crudo offers a quant, quiet atmosphere. If you haven’t been, you are missing out on the best restaurant Bluffton has to offer.”

“My favourite place to eat ! Great people and amazing food!”

Good menu options.”

“Great food! We loved the options so you could make your 'bag' just the way you like it.”

“Lunch yesterday with some friends was delightful. Food was very good. Sam our server was very attentive and a joy. Holiday decorations spectacular. Willingham from the front desk was kind enough to take our picture in front of the Christmas tree. We will always have wonderful memories from our holiday lunch. We are locals and cant wait to return.”

“I had an amazing dinner experience for taco Tuesday recently all of the food and drinks were excellent and the service was some of the best I’ve had in the area in a long time. It was my first time at the Bluffton location so I didn’t know what to expect and was blown away. I love the Hilton head location can’t come back to enjoy taco Tuesday in Bluffton.”

I was a little surprised by my wife's request and craving for a lobster roll from the Sugaree, and i'm glad sure she did, because I can't wait to go back and get another one! And it was perfect to take to go for lunch.”

“Even though the Bills did the R Bar did not disappoint. Buffalonians go ahead and have the wings and beef on weck. Both are legit and can hang back home. 15+ TVs for the game and audio over the sound system. Great Bills decor. A must for games when in Hilton Head or the surrounding area.”

“Ashley was super nice about allergies while taking them seriously. There was one nut-free flavor in the nut case, and without being asked looked to see if they had extra of it not put out to avoid cross-contaimination. Ended up having to get another flavor, but it was nice that she looked and the other flavor was still delicious.”

“Always friendly staff and fun, new seasonal menu drinks that I love to try!”

“Every bit the equal of the excellent Saigon Café. One improvement would be more comfortable seating. The chairs are a bit hard on this old guys back.”

“Delicious. Fajitas are very good. The servers are super friendly and all quite pretty, too. The beers are cold. The margaritas are strong. The chips are hot and crispy. The salsa is probably the best in the area. What more could you ask for? Heck, I've just inspired myself to order a to-go order!
Update Aug, 2025: Still delicious! Still friendly people!”

“The food and service was excellent!! The flavors of the sauces on the meals were sensational - rich and unique. We will be back.”

“I love Chicken Salad Chick. In fact, I’m one of five American men who will openly admit that and dine there solo. You’re welcome.

Food is great (reminds me of my mom’s chicken salad), service is very good and personalized, and the atmosphere is very comfortable.

I am astounded by people who try CSC and shrug and say it’s just “okay.” What?!? CSC consistently rocks!!!

The staff at this location are very friendly and supportive. They greet me by name and make each visit enjoyable.

I left a star off for food because there’s a tiny bit of room for improvement on portion size for things like salads and soups. Otherwise, the quality of the food is excellent.

In a world where customer service has (almost) totally gone to crap in foodservice, Chicken Salad Chick stands out with a handful of other establishments on how it should be done. Highly recommended.”

“The brisket tostadas have become my favorite!! I love the atmosphere, the food is really fresh, service is phenomenal”

“Todo es bueno para tu salud me encanta 🥰”

“The wait staff makes you feel Like family.”

“I was on the hunt for creme brulee. it just so happens that the chef makes it every once in a while I left her my name and number and when she made a batch she called me and I went and I bought almost all of it it! was so delicious I can't wait to get some more. I thought that was very very nice of her and I can't wait to meet her in person.”

“Apps and drinks with Kelly the bartender the best!”

“Amazing tacos! I have been a few times and it has been so delicious each time. Authentic and fresh!”

“Saigon Cafe is hands down my favorite spot for pho! I've been there so many times, and each visit is better than the last. The pho is absolutely delicious, with a rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles. It's always so satisfying and flavorful.

But that's not all! Their mango boba is also a must-try! It's refreshing and the perfect complement to their savory dishes. The boba pearls are just the right texture, and the mango flavor is spot on.

Overall, Saigon Cafe is a fantastic restaurant. The food is consistently amazing, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I can't recommend it enough!

I mean look at the pic of the noodles they make their food with LOVE!! <3”

“The staff were very nice and quick. I had the best latte at this store that I have had in years! The baristas that were at the store around 6pm were the kindest people with great attitudes!”

“I can’t say enough about Addinnella Baked Goods! Excellent communication, beautiful custom cookies and best of all they are DELICIOUS. Highly recommend!!!”

“So fresh and clean love how the meat is not cooked in oils! So happy to have found you can’t wait to keep up with your Bluffton schedule!”

“Really good food and a clean, comfortable restaurant. The staff were friendly and made sure everyone was taken care of. It did not seem like there were a lot of people working, but even with a small team, the service was surprisingly quick and organized. The food came out fresh, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The place had a relaxed, authentic vibe that made it easy to enjoy the meal. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth coming back to.”

“I came down this past weekend with 3 friends and we played FlingGolf for 2 days. The course was amazing, the staff was very friendly, food was incredible, and we will be back to play again. I recommend this to any golfer or FlingGolf player. They have Fling Sticks for rent and FlingGolf hats! Thank you for an excellent experience.”

“I'm a huge salmon fan. The salmon special with brussel sprouts tonight was absolutely amazing!! No "upscale" restaurant could have done it any better. Complements to the chef for their outstanding preparation and presentation. The rest of us got burgers, fries and cole slaw, and everyone was smiling!! There is a reason we are REGULARS here!!! Thanks to Joe and your great staff! We truly appreciate you guys!”

The Food..... was delicious and I am still thinking about that menu!! so many options to choose from! can't wait to visit again!”

“The three of us wanted to like this place because it's right next door to the hotel. So much so that after our first bad experience we decided to go back and give it another try! Ultimately, we decided it's just "meh". The servers and staff were great, but that's not the only thing we go to a restaurant for. If you just want a beer or a glass of wine it's perfect. If you want a mixed cocktail or anything off the menu ... just push onto the next place, it's bound to be better.”

“Raven was super fast and so professional!”

“Very pleasant employees, two o'clock in the afternoon and extremely busy. Drive through was busy AS was inside. Everyone remained pleasant and happy. 😀”

“Order chicken nuggets and large fries to go. Service was quick and the food was good, as expected. I Order inside, not sure if that made a difference in the time my order came out. Will come back for another quick order.”

“Our son and fam live in Bluffton and every time we descend upon them, my husband and I always hit Snag for breakfast! Love it!!!!”

“The food is always on point and they always offer new seasonal items.”

“I was at this location couple weeks ago and my order was taken by Miss Melisa. The general store manager was a great breeder and she also helped me put my food in my car along with my drinks.”

“Amazing food and the best service every time!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Brought my daughter (6) and 10month old son here for an early dinner/late lunch. We were the only people in the restaurant on a Monday afternoon. They still did the hibachi for us, and gave amazing service, both the chef and waitress were so sweet and attentive! 100% will be back! I believe our waitress was Rona and we had the head chef ! ❤️❤️ 10 out of 10!”

“This is a beautiful black owned business. I was impressed with the decor, the outside is so inviting. The overall vibe was delightful. However, the service was extremely slow. After sitting for several minutes without being greeted, I flagged the closest server to ask about our server. There was no management on the floor at all. Once our order was taken the service didn't improve. The meal I ordered was ok.. I have the highest hope for this incredible eatery but it is obvious extensive training is needed.”
