“Top notch as always. This is one of the best dining experiences in the entire Hilton Head/Bluffton area. The menu is relatively limited in terms of number of selections, but the nightly specials are usually pretty compelling and in fact all four of our party got specials on the evening (the women got the fish, the men got the veal tomahawks.) Everything was terrific, and the service was on point as well. It's a little too spendy to be an every-week restaurant (for most of us at least), but it's always a treat and we will be back again in the not-too-distant future.“

“Met friends for brunch on the way off the island. It was all very good. Rather than go with a main and two sides, we each created our own brunch plate by combining sides. Everything was artfully conceived and created, with the flavors melding nicely. The space is rather small, so the four of us ended up at a communal table with another group of four, but with an open seat between us on both sides. That could have been a little tight with 10 at the table, but it worked out just fine. Pleasant space, though, for being small.“

“The River House is a luxurious and beautiful venue with Lowcountry charm - wonderful ambiance! We enjoyed four fabulous courses, beginning with the Hamachi, and the Yellowfin Tuna Duo, on to the Lobster Bisque and Wedge Salad, and on to the Rainbow Trout and the A5 Wagyu. We finished up with the C4 (essentially, Death by Chocolate). It was all excellent. I particularly enjoyed the Wagyu, which, while only 2 ounces, was a taste sensation with its Yakiniku sauce. We completed the evening with a nightcap in the Hush Speakeasy in the basement. We had a wonderful evening and will soon return!“

“Tucked into one of the many business centers in Bluffton, this little gem is serving some seriously good food. At capacity this place won't feel crowded with options to sit at a table, the bar, or outside. Lots of tvs above the bar to watch the game while putting away some really good southern classics. We started with the fried pickles & ranch, then went all-in on the cheesesteak & spicy chicken sandwiches with fries. All incredible, all huge portions. Took home an assortment of oreo, key lime, cherry & white chocolate mini cheesecakes... which were also incredible.Well be back to try more from this menu. Food was delicious, prices were very reasonable, service was great!“

“I grew up in Minnesota, moved to Kentucky for 23 years and found out what a joy biscuits and sausage gravy are for breakfast. I have been in Pennsylvania for 20 years and really missed a good southern breakfast. Went here for the first time even though I have coming down to HHI for 40 years. I cannot express enough the joy of our breakfast at Squat & Gobble. EVERYTHING was delicious. These guys know how to cook. Best country fried steak, sausage gravy, and the lightest fluffiest biscuit I have ever had. Service was phenomenal! Quick and everyone so nice. Anybody in the area has to take this in. You guys are the greatest.“

Service was unbelievable we have not had service like this in a very long time, best in couple years.Server knew the menu very well described everything and helped make suggestions.Other servers also very knowledgeable,explaining to her table how things worked, if anyone had any allergies. Manager also very attentive, asked us at least three times how things were. I am huge iced tea drinker and my glass never stayed empty. This is something I look for as to how service is. Being at the table making sure we are good and making everything a pleasant experience. 5 stars ? we will definitely be back when in the area.“

“This is two reviews -- breakfast and dinner. First, to truly appreciate the atmosphere and vibe of this place -- go for breakfast. I got the southern breakfast, and the eggs were perfect, bacon was delicious, and that big chunk of biscuit was spot on. Our server made me a killer vanilla latte. My wife's biscuits and gravy were very good.For dinner, we both got chicken tenders and fried shrimp, with fry chips. Unbelievable. Best chicken tenders I've ever had. Whole meal was scrumptious.I got a flight of their own beers -- pretty good.At dinner time, that place is LOUD. When the screamers got their meals, it quieted down a bit. And hey -- get rid of those fake lemon trees...“

“We went to a family lunch to celebrate the birthday of my sister-in-law. Since we are originally from Buffalo, you can imagine how much we enjoy R Bar. There are all the foods we are accustomed to from our hometown. There was a very pleasant and courteous waiter at our table. In spite of the fact that he entered all of our orders correctly, there was a little mishap in the kitchen between mine and my sister-in-law's sandwich. We swapped what we could between her order and mine so they would not have to remake my sandwich and she would simply need a new one. Upon explaining what we had done, a lady in a Pittsburgh Penguins shirt emerged from the back abruptly asking in a rude tone, "tell me what is wrong with this sandwich". She replied, "Well it's already half eaten," while she touched with her bare naked hands, expecting my pregnant sister-in-law to take it back. Please note that it was not half eaten, I still had the other part on my plate, and she indicated that she required it back in order to prepare a completely new sandwich. In an effort to appease such a miserable soul, I politely returned the half of chicken finger to her. As a result of our further discussion, she took her poor attitude back to the kitchen and remade the sandwich. As a result of this lady's poor attitude regarding an issue her kitchen staff had created, we were all very uncomfortable. It would be prudent for her to consider other careers if a messed up sandwich has the potential to make her that angry.“

“First impressions of First Watch are lasting positive impressions. We were in a layover at the airport and decided to meet family for a quick late brunch. We Uber(ed) over from the airport to meet family who also used Uber. Greeted at entrance where hostesses offered to store our bags until we would depart. Loved this. Seated in an open area with a view of the preparation area, many diners enjoying the atmosphere and flights (the process of sampling/tasting wines). Wait staff was patient and attentive as we caught up with family member stories. Wine servings were pricey but refreshing. Nice menu selections that were tasty and original.The restaurant clients were clearly having a great time at the this venue. Before we headed back to the airport we moved to the rooftop for an exhilarating view of Nashville and we’re not disappointed. First Watch is a check it out spot you won’t want to pass up!“

“I've eaten here many times and it's always great. Last night I ordered the ribeye. I like my steak rare and it was RARE. I couldn't finish it due to the size not the temperature. I just ate the leftovers for lunch and I swear... It was one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. He must be buying high quality meats. The steak was better than anything I can buy at the butcher but I didn't have to cook it and it came with bread, salad and fries for $30. Get outta here. The drinks were great and the bartender was very nice. And nice looking. The owner came over and asked me if everything was good. On a Sunday night he was working quality control.... I highly recommend.“

“Prime Ribeye steak lived up to the hype! The Manager Doug made a wine pairing suggestion of the Syriah and explained why it worked well and what to look for. That really elevated the experience. Our server was professional, food was delicious, and the ambiance was relaxed and easy. The dark ceilings make for a cozy feeling and acoustically the restaurant was very quiet from sound absorbing materials. Sometimes I have a hard time conversating if the cafe is too loud. My wife and I shared easy conversation and it was a wonderful overall Valentine’s Day dinner. Highly recommend.“

102 Buckwalter Pkwy Suit 3-G, Bluffton

“I like a good Reuben sandwich and where I live, it's hard to find a good one, but if you get the Reuben from Butchers Market and Deli, you will get a great one. It had all the elements that make for a great Reuben: a generous portion of thinly sliced corned beef, mild sour kraut, just the right amount of thousand island dressing, and perfectly grilled rye bread. I wish I didn't live 10 hours away, but if I ever get within an hour's drive, I'll take the detour to experience it again. It will be worth the drive!“
