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 .”

“we absolutely enjoyed everything about our experience. Our server Riley was wonderful. The food was impeccable. Chef Jeff is amazing!”

“Nicole was wonderful! Great service!”

“Our waitress Melissa was very kind and courteous! We also had Riley, Clair and Amy wait on us as well as Gavin bringing us our food! The tomato dill soup and the pasta New Orleans are my go-to when I come here! They are both sooo delicious and the bread is fresh served with an herb butter! Absolutely divine! They even have cute match books to take home with you! I love a good match book! The ambiance is great!!”

“We sat at the bar to eat. you definitely need reservations if you want a table. The food was delicious. We will definitely be adding this place on our list of places to go. Kaylee was our server at the bar. She did an amazing job. We got the pig &fig salad to share. the kitchen divided it in half for us which was a added bonus. Their salads are all huge and can be shared. The pig &fig salad was fresh and very tasty. I would have liked a little more parmesan.
We ordered the muffeletta pizza. they just added it to the menu yesterday. they used the mortadella for the base. it was unique and very tasty. I hope they keep it on the menu.
They offer you a sesame bread with oil and vinegar while you are waiting. you can really taste the sesame which is good.
we will definitely be back and tell our friends.”

“First time trying a sandwich from Alvin Ord’s!! Amazing!!! I would post a pic of my sandwich but! I devour it🤭 the salvation (I think that’s what’s called) was absolutely delicious!! Definitely going back.”

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

“Alljoy Donut Co is a hidden gem. The little shop is quaint and the staff was so friendly. The variety of donut flavors was surprising. I highly recommend getting a few to share. My family’s favorites were the classic glazed and glazed with chocolate icing. I’d much rather support this hidden gem than a chain donut shop.”

“Best lobster roll I have had in a very long time and probably the best 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.”

“love the food at nectar! the avocado toast for breakfast and the pan roasted salmon or seafood pasta for dinner is amazing highly recommend the food. the staff are super friendly and give great service.”

“We visited Hilton Head/Bluffton/Beaufort area for a few days from New York City and had a list of places to go. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to all but we did stop by Red Stripes and babyyyy, we were glad we did!! The food was absolutely delicious and totally unexpected. Jamaican cuisine is not something every one can do, native or not, but the owner and the chefs at the Bluffton location exactly what they’re doing. The food, drinks, and service was impeccable. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend!”

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

“We had a waitress Ashley she was fantastic never had to ask her for anything she was right on the ball always refilled our drinks without asking now that's a great waitress there should be more like her thanks Ashley”

“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.”

“Elevated Dining in a Stunning Setting

Octagon is an absolute standout when it comes to dining in the Bluffton area. Every visit is a treat—the food is creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Whether you’re there for brunch, lunch, or dinner, the menu offers something special for every taste.

The atmosphere at Octagon is hard to beat, with elegant indoor dining and a beautiful setting that’s perfect for any occasion. The staff is always attentive and makes you feel like a valued guest from start to finish.

It’s the kind of place where every detail is considered, from the fresh ingredients to the thoughtful service. If you’re looking for an elevated dining experience in a stunning Lowcountry setting, Octagon never disappoints.”

“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.”

“Fun place to go! Also have vegan food options!”

“We love working for the owners in Palmetto Bluff. Special people. 😀”

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

“This was good! Got my go to the chicken & broccoli with white rice. It was good, I was happy to taste a bit of a garlic in it. The best part was the chicken and the rice. The veggies were mushy which people probably like I'm more of a crunchy raw person. They cheaped out of the free egg roll being a spring roll but I ate it anyway lol.”

“Demetry was our server tonight and I can honestly say he was the best server we ever had at the Olive Garden!!”

“Great vegetables, chicken tenders are better at Publix Deli.”

“Great fish & chips and peanut butter cup cheesecake bites! Would come again!”

“Great Staff!!! The wraps and salads are AWESOME!!! 👍🏿👍🏿”

“Went for lunch today and will definitely be back. The owner Pete was working the bar, the indoor dining area and the outdoor dining area by himself. He was friendly, gracious and apologetic to our group of 4 for our wait. We had zero complaints. The food was great, the drinks on point and great atmosphere. He gave us a discount on our bill for the wait even though he was the only one whoever mentioned it! Recommend stopping in for the food, drinks and vibe. I’m sure Pete will be working and hope he serves you.”

“Ice cream is fresh, creamy and made onsite. Prices are comparable to the other ice cream shops in the area but Jack Frost’s portion sizes are bigger. (Their single scoop is the size of everyone else’s double)”

“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.”

“Very good pizza and crust! The sausage is cut not crumbled and pepperoni not greasy! Great service and atmosphere!!”

“Real authentic Mexican food... It was disappointing though that they didn't have what I drove all the way there for, the Chiles en nogada... Nonetheless, I highly recommend this place for amazing food.”

“Was visiting from out of state & found it the first night and fell in love with this little local place! Great food, staff is amazing! You won’t be disappointed!”

“The best little store in all of South Carolina and Georgia!There you will find everything you need at an affordable price and if you want to eat authentic Mexican food here is the perfect place. And not to mention Mrs. Carely who is on the side selling desserts ? and a plus is that you come with cash so you can play pirinola with those who sell the roast chicken!!Inside they have esquites, chamoyadas, sweet bread. The strawberry tres leches cake is very delicious.All with excellent service. We will surely return!”

“A taste of Philly in the Home Depot parking lot . Only had the sausage sandwich before , which is awesome , but today I tackled the cheese steak which will be a given on every Home Depot visit in the future. GO BIRDS !!!”

“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!”

“Food was DELICIOUS! I absolutely recommend!”

“We are always greeted with a warm smile. My favorite is the steak and egg and my wife's varies. The coffee is always hot and plenty of cold drinks. Yes, it is biker friendly.

Craft beers, great pizza, didn't try the sandwiches, but they looked really good, along with fish and meat market”

“Best Vietnamese food around. Beef pho is fantastic and has good depth of flavor, I think the portion of the size is a touch lacking. Also there lunch specials are unbeatable for price and quantity of food”

“Always great food and service!”

“Nicole was wonderful! Great service!”

“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.”

“Great vegetables, chicken tenders are better at Publix Deli.”

“Raven was super fast and so professional!”

“The drive through line was almost into Lowes parking lot. They oy had q lane open and had the 1 employee taking orders and charging. Chickfila is known for having the best drive through system. I was a bit disappointed when I saw they've been slacking. Felt bad for the employee not having any help either. Hopefully this was just a bad day for them. I don't usually go to this chick fila. Everything is else was good as usual.”

“What can I say. This was a simple visit but enjoyable. 6pm not at all crowded. Very few people here.
Ordered breakfast. Wife had BLT.
Eggs were perfect. Bacon as expected. Has browns crispy.”

“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!!!!”

“Enjoyed watching my Buffalo Bills team play on a Sunday while on vacation from out of state.”

“Ordered so-called new zalad, but ingredients were missing. I saw commercials 10 times a day and was disappointed. What's so hard having all ingredients in 2 salad for $22 and missing the fried strips.”
