“What a find! I think we have been to almost all the restaurants in old town and can't believe we missed this one. We started with their house drink the colonel and key lime martini. I was a Little hesitant of the colonel due to the April but the honeysuckle vodka sucked me in. I'm so glad it it did, refreshing and not overly sweet, one of the best drinks I've had. Key lime martini was simple, but equally as satisfying. We had an an appetizer of andouille sausage, pimento cheese, pickles, mustard and crusty bread- delicious! For dinner my husband had the double stack burger- cooked to temp, juicy and satisfying on a brioche with a side of house potatoes. I had the fried chicken sandwich with house made chips. The chicken was fried to perfection, not greasy. It was dressed with cheese, slaw and bbq. We did not have room for dessert, but they have a great assortment. Another great Blufton establishment to add to the rotation.“

“friends took us here for a special treat. we had never been before. I had the ribs and they were delicious. my husband had the meatloaf he said it was good. However, next time he would ask for the sauce on the side. It was a little to sweet for him. Our friends had salad that looked great. we will definitely be back to try those. the herb butter for the bread was great.
we had the oreo dessert it was very good. only issue is the shell is to hard to break with the spoon they provide. it was definitely big enough to share.“

“We really enjoyed our meal and experience, but it wasn't at the standard we were expecting. Two steaks came out medium when they were ordered medium rare. They quickly brought out new, but it kind of ruined the experience while half the table ate and the other half waited. They were very apologetic and made everything right. I just would have expected better from a place like this. Regardless, we still had a good time and the food was good but hoped for better.“

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.“

Canoe Club American • $$$

“The Canoe Club has a very creative seasonal menu featuring many fresh fares from the local seafood selection. The roasted oyster appetizer was particularly good, as was the black grouper. The desert menu was limited, and some of the food was overly creative to its own detriment, where it looked amazing, but the flavor didn't match the visual appeal.

Vegetarian options: Entire vegan dishes offered that were creative and delicious ?

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available

Parking: Easy access adjacent to the venue for golf carts and vehicles curbside and an open lot across the street.“

“Pour Richard’s is a neighborhood gem worth shout about! Friendly, inviting and five star food! Tonight the Watermelon and Shrimp Gazpacho were a combo that hit all the notes from savory, acidic to a sweet burst of flavor. The African Pompano was beautifully moist and seasoned to perfection with a five spice seasoning. It was accompanied by “spider rice” - a wonderful rice filled with shredded soft shelled crab, over a bed of perfectly seasoned and sautéed spinach. But that’s not all! The Chocolate Martini (chocolate milk for adults) was the best I’ve ever had - and that’s saying something! We split the sandbar dessert - okay, I forgot the name, but the taste was definitely one I will remember for a long, long time - and a strawberry Chantilly cake - both were exceptional. It was a Foodie’s dream night! Thank you Richard and Ally for an amazing evening!“

“We stopped for a mid afternoon snack and beer and were so grateful we did! Azaria was our exceptional waitress, who was pleasant, sweet, answered questions, and gave recommendations. We had oysters and the crab/shrimp dip in the bread. My husband gets oysters whenever we visit a coastal area (we live on the coast in Delaware) and found the oysters from the May River to be the best he has had. The dip was perfect - thick, full of crab and shrimp, and not salty. We visit Bluffton every Spring and we will be back to Bluffton Family Seafood House! Also, we recommended this place to others already!“

“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.“

Currently drinking the Frozen Barrel Milk Stout with these amazing wings. I'm not normally a full stout guy, but this is so well done, might be a convert. At least to this one ?. Just want to say thanks to Max and the whole team at Southern Barrel for making our night amazing!“
