16 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Bluffton

“The owner has been serving the best bbq for years. My entire family looks forward to eating at Bluffton BBQ whenever we are in town! He always treats my children to mandarin oranges and my dog to a bone.“

“The candied bacon Gouda burger was delicious! My mom & I loved the Gouda burgers back home & couldn’t find one down here for years. We were so happy to see it on special & went out to try it today. Don’t hesitate to try it! We really hope it makes it to the permanent menu, but either way we highly recommend this place! Show them some love & stop in! 😁“

“Always great food and service!“

“The barbecue was juicy and very flavorful. This was a great find.“

“Another fantastic night at A9! 🍜“

“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“

“I highly recommend and can't wait to go back! everything was so good; brisket, pulled pork, fries, Mac n cheese, cornbread the best we've had. Great sauces and friendly staff in a cute location with good prices.“

“The food is fantastic- and the service was awesome!“

“I travel all over the US for work and eat BBQ everywhere I go. I usually go for brisket over pulled pork, but went with the pork for dinner today. Absolutely fantastic pulled pork, it was delicious. Best potato salad I’ve had, baked beans were amazing. Sauces were super tasty as well. I’ve been spoiled by eating tons of Texas bbq, but Forrest Fire BBQ can hold its own anywhere.“

“Five stars for Fraser’s Tavern — the kind of place you stop into thinking you’ll grab a quick bite, and next thing you know you’re back again because your brain can’t shake the memory of that first meal. I ate here twice on my trip, and honestly, if I’d stayed one more day, they probably would’ve seen me a third time.

The burger is exactly what a burger should be — juicy, flavorful, no circus tricks, just honest perfection on a bun. Pair it with an ice-cold beer and you’ve got the kind of meal that resets your entire outlook on the day. And the service? Absolutely top notch. Friendly, fast, and dialed in without being over the top — the kind of staff that makes the whole place run smooth.

Fraser’s Tavern quietly becomes one of those spots you look forward to without even realizing it.“

“We had the best experience with our drive through service on 11/15 at 9pm. I mention the time and date because I did not get the young gentleman's name before we left. But we messed up our milkshake order (our fault 100%) and within a blink of the eye, your drive through person fixed it on the spot and was just so kind and understanding. I just wanted to commend him for being so solution and customer service oriented - not to mention quick thinking.

Should you be the owner or manager of this particular Cookout, that drive through employee of yours is amazing and I wanted you to know that you have got an A+++ employee there and I hope that we can draw your attention to him for a proper thank you.

Before I close out this note - I wanted you to know that I have normally gone to another close by fast food restaurant - who shall remain nameless...But from now on the Cookout on Hilton Head has got my business.“

“it is awesome bbq I have had where I live I haven't found bbq pit is good“

“Fresh seafood caught daily! She-crab soup, crab cake and fried shrimp was today’s late lunch. Everything was delicious. Great service too🤗“

“They now have an excellent gluten-free wrap used with any type of sandwich. Outstanding. Playing golf is not required to eat at this great little gem tucked away at the Palmetto Dunes Robert Trent Jones Ocean Course. I have only eaten a few items so far and will take some time to complete all of the foods listed on the menu that I am able to eat due to celiac. The staff is well versed in the gluten-free selections and is double-checked by Chef Patrick and his staff. The few items I have ordered, the pulled pork is nice and tender with just the right amount of spices without becoming overbearing and still taste the pork flavor. The smoked chicken is excellent. As much as I enjoy pulled pork, I believe the smoked chicken edges out the pork. They also have gluten-free buns, which increases the available options for dining. All barbeque items are excellent and nothing similar to what you may find in Long Island, NY, the birthplace of Chef Patrick, and that is a great thing. Similar to a restaurant located north of Atlanta with an OUT OF BUSINESS sign on the door. The name, New York City Style Ribs. I have never heard of these famous ribs and when I have an opportunity, I think I shall pass.
They serve one of the top two, in my opinion, gluten-free pizza crusts, recipe created by Chef Patrick in the country. Select the toppings, kick back with a cocktail, the pizza will arrive within 10 minites, and it is excellent. Tip; always order gluten-free pizza well done. I am happy to conduct a taste test to determine the best gluten-free pizza, but the other two vying for the number 1 position are located in Palm Springs, CA and Morris Plains, NJ. Will require a travel budget in order to complete the tasting.
There are several beers on tap, more in cans or bottles along with the flavored vodka drinks. With the extensive menu there is no doubt that you will find something to enjoy. Eat good food, drink a few beers while overlooking a portion of the golf course. Outdoor seating is available as well. You will enjoy and if you are unable to decide on what to order, the Staff members are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and will assist. The entrance to the restaurant is the same as the Proshop.“
