34 Best American Restaurants in Bluffton

“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 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“

“We had the BEST experience at this restaurant thanks to RJ… truly a gem of a server! From the moment we sat down, he made us happy we came here. Attentive, friendly, funny, and absolutely on point with every detail.
And let’s talk about those Bloody Marys… Hands down the best we’ve ever had. Perfect.. my dad gets bloody marys everywhere and he was in love. (Try the spicy) If you’re a Bloody Mary lover, RUN here. If you’re not, RJ will convert you.“

“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!!“

“Dinner was amazing here. Pretty view from our table, outstanding service from Cole, and all the food was so good! Worth the price tag honestly. They even brought out a snack plate with cheese and apple chips on it for our toddler. 10/10 experience“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The wait staff makes you feel Like family.“

“My family played Fling golf for the first time! We are officially “flingers “! Old South has the nicest greens!“

“We stayed at the Montage and came here for the first time. It's part of the Palmetto Bluff community = quiet luxury, just really well done.But the food really punched above its weight. Amazing ceviche tostada and my husband loved his pulled pork sammie and brussel sprout salad. Just delicious, fresh food with great service by our server Autumn.“

“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. There's also outside seating. Service is decently fast (just remember your number). You will never leave hungry. Oh ! Try the soup. Always delicious.“

“Always great food and service!“

“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!!!!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“We love bacon diner! Good food, great service, and friendly atmosphere.“

“I love May River Grill. The food is fantastic and staff are all amazing. Definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

“Great food and portions and hosts / service superb and clientele looked regulars. Lovely Guinness too - it hits the spot !!“

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

“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!“

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

“I can’t speak highly enough about Jacob and Phoenix. They both went above and beyond during our stay here and made each pool day spectacular. They have great service as well as great personalities making it better than any pool I’ve visited on property, or any other vacation property for that matter. The food and drinks were also amazing and the bartenders special (tequila watermelon lemonade) was unmatched. Will be coming back for sure“

“amazing food, clean environment and amazing customer service. highly recommend butcher market and deli 👌“

“Jameson's Charhouse Sun City, South Carolina did a wonderful Bridal Brunch we hosted today. Setting was lovely, food was fantastic and service could not have been better. Most important, the bride was thrilled! Thank you to Manager Ashley and server Nerissa for a memorable experience!“

“Food was good, service was ok. The host team could attempt smiling but it really seemed out of their ability, the server got us what we needed, but made no real effort at hospitality. They must of been grossly understaffed as we were on a wait with many others for a mostly empty restaurant. I will order togo next time. Not worth the extra tip to eat inside.“

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

“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.“

“Fantastic food and service. Such a great and welcoming environment for a quick bite or to hang all day and try all of their local beers. Elana did fantastic with our chaotic group with a child and a dog. The chef even came out to see how everything was. We will absolutely return and you won’t regret going either!“

“When I found out it was inside the Walmart, I was skeptical. My skepticism was misplaced. It’s delicious!!!!

The classic burger is delicious - hot, juicy, and made to order. The bacon, cheese fries were not greasy at all. They were also quite tasty. Heck, even the fountain drink was mixed well and great.

I loved this meal.“

“Great layout and friendly staff. The staff was very helpful from dropping off clubs to helping unload at end of round. Course was in very good shape. Couple of tee boxes were rough, but the fairways were great and the greens were fast even though they are still working on a couple of them. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back.“
