“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

We will definitely be back and the atmosphere seemed so clean , and modern inside that we may even dine in next time .

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

“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.“

“Great experience! Food was perfect, friendly service, and good vibes! Will be back! :)“

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

“Cal did absolutely amazing and so did the other bartender with the beard and glasses. My steak never comes out with the correct temperature, but the service and conversation make it a great experience. I honestly couldnt give a shit about the food because the front of house team makes it like I'm talking to a true friend. Thank you longhorn“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed my blackened fish sandwich and the sweet potato fries were great! My sister said her hot honey chicken sandwich was the Best she ever had and I loved her fries too.. lol the Christmas sour beer was fantastic. My father loved his burger. All in all, great restaurant! The management and staff were very warm and friendly!“

“The cart guys & starter are some of the friendliest we have encountered on any course! A great start to your round. The course is in fairly good condition for this time of year. Challenging & interesting course. Definitely need to give it a try!“

“So I came in with my husband and little brother 1/4/26 around 6:30pm. I didn’t ask the gentleman’s name but he was amazing. He made our burgers amazingly. Probably the better burgers I’ve had in a while. He was quiet but polite and patient with us even when the kiosk was malfunctioning. He made sure we had everything we needed, even going to get our straws for us and brining our bags of food directly to our table. This man deserves a raise to say the least. Very memorable experience.“
