Restaurants near Daufuskie Island

“aside from Dafuskie Island being downright exhilarating, you have this spectacular coffee shop attached to history. We loved being able to take a step back in time and see all the neat little flyers and articles they had posted in the coffee shop, but the best part was the friendly service. We ordered 2 caramel frappes with a lemon and blueberry cake, and it was by far the best we have ever had. we have traveled to many places and we had no idea that the number one coffee spot would be on a secluded island with such down to earth people. this is a must have if you ever get the chance to visit this amazing place. 5 stars isn't enough!”

“This place is cooking with LOVE! From the chicken, shrimp, FRIES, and onion rings… everything was SO delicious. I don’t even have the words. I already am planning a trip back to the island just to come back here.”

“Food and service today was fantastic. We had burgers, blackened grouper and crab cakes sandwich. All were great.”

“We ate at On Deck Diner for dinner Wednesday, and it was incredible! We tried all of the featured entrees- Prime Rib, Mahi mahi, and scallops and shrimp, and all were absolutely perfect! We ate lunch there a couple of days as well, and we were never disappointed. And the vodka-blueberry- lemonade drinks were so good that we visited the distillery to get those every single day. It's probably my all-time favorite drink. And the atmosphere there truly can't be beat!”

“Great little grab what you may need to spot if you forgot something or are running low. Prices are not bad at all. Warning ATM inside charge $5 plus change.. If your bank gives back your ATM fees I wouldn't worry about it.”

“Fantastic food and customer service unmatched! We wanted some food off the dinner menu during the lunch time hours and the owner opened up the kitchen and dining area just for us! The food had so much flavor and the seasoning was perfect on all of our food! They are continuing to do upgrades (adding tv’s today) and we will be back!”

“This island is the perfect escape
Beautiful beaches , forestry roads, stunning views

“This is a great place for brunch with some interesting and different options. A lovely space with good service. I would return.”

“We came here for my husband’s birthday dinner. Not only did they seat us way before our reservation, but the lovely host gave us a fabulous table after learning it was my hubby’s bday. The overall atmosphere was very family friendly, but upscale. The views and staff were spectacular, but the FOOD! DELICIOUS! We had the crab dip and chargrilled oysters to start. AMAZING! The fried saltines paired with the crab dip was a delicacy all on its own. For entrees, I had the surf and turf and my hubby had the redfish. I have never had a steak that tender and cooked to perfection. It was butter. The lobster was insanely good. Both my hubby’s and MIL’s fish were fresh and cooked perfectly. My FIL had the fried platter and loved it! His only complaint was the gumbo he had to start was too cold. They surprised my hubby with the most moist and delicious brownie sundae at the end. Overall, we couldn’t stop talking about this place long after our meal was over. We will definitely come again!”

“This place is amazing. Food and drinks are great and reasonable. The service is excellent, a special shout out to Morgan and Sephora. The guitarist during happy hour is a special treat.”

“First time visiting this place, after living in the vicinity for a couple of years. We celebrated our son’s 16th at Links and were pleasantly surprised. Tracy was our server, and was knowledgeable and made us feel right at home. The food was superb! We will be back as there are several entrees we would like to try out next.”

“An Unforgettable Anniversary at Michael Anthony's A True Food Lover’s Paradise For our wedding anniversary, we wanted something special, and Michael Anthony’s delivered on EVERY level. As Hilton Head’s premier Italian fine dining destination, they excel not only in impeccable service and warm hospitality but also in creating a culinary experience that any true Epicure would appreciate. From the moment we sat down, our server, Eleanor, made the evening even more remarkable. Her knowledge of each dish was extraordinary, and her attentiveness to every detail ensured that we were taken care of without ever feeling rushed. It’s rare to encounter such dedication to making sure every aspect of the meal is perfect, and Eleanor truly enhanced our experience. The evening began with a bottle of 2021 Tenuta Di Arceno Chianti Classico—a stunning wine with aromas of cherries, and strawberries. Its elegant balance made it the perfect companion to the meal, enhancing each bite without overshadowing the vibrant flavors on our plates. My A5 Wagyu ribeye was simply divine, cooked to perfection with a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that only Wagyu can deliver. It was a symphony of rich flavors, each bite more indulgent than the last. My wife’s Ravioli di Vitello al Tartufo Nero was outstanding. A harmonious blend of House made veal ravioli topped & black truffle sauce. Both dishes epitomized the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. One of the true standouts of the night was the Raviolo al’Uovo con confit d’Anatra. This dish was a revelation! An unexpected, yet beautifully balanced combination of flavors that demonstrated both creativity and precision. The delicate pasta, rich duck confit, and perfectly runny egg yolk created a dish that was not only visually stunning but an absolute pleasure to eat. Another unexpected delight was the Insalata d’Anatra con Albicocca e Burrata. A light and refreshing salad featuring succulent duck, sweet apricots, and creamy burrata. It was the perfect prelude to the main courses, showcasing a masterful understanding of balance and texture. Venturing into new territory, I tried the Polpo alla Griglia, my first experience with octopus. Grilled to perfection, the octopus had a surprisingly tender, almost steak-like quality that was enhanced by a smoky char. It was a revelation for me both unfamiliar and yet incredibly satisfying. For starters, we couldn’t resist the Peach and Plum Salad with Scallops. The sweet, ripe fruit paired beautifully with the perfectly seared scallops, highlighting the restaurant's commitment to sourcing only the finest seasonal ingredients. Every bite was vibrant, fresh, and utterly delicious. As if that weren’t enough, the desert menu demanded our attention. The Tiramisu was nothing short of perfection!espresso and rum-soaked ladyfingers layered with a light mascarpone mousse and topped with a dusting of cocoa and caramel drizzle. Hands down, the best Tiramisu I’ve ever tasted. The Sformata di Cioccolata con Gelato Vanilla Rich, molten-centered chocolate cake served with creamy vanilla gelato was a chocolate lover’s dream. The baked peach stuffed with oats and pine nuts was another winner. It was refreshing, light, and oh so exciting to my tongue. It had a similar presentation to a small coffee cake, but packed a flavorful punch of peach cobbler. Finally, the Affogato, a dessert that was new to me but instantly became a favorite. Vanilla gelato drenched in rich espresso, chocolate sauce, Kahlua, and whipped cream. It was an indulgent, yet perfectly balanced way to finish the evening. Michael Anthony’s isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. From the perfectly executed dishes to Eleanor’s exceptional service, every detail is designed to make you feel pampered. For anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine with a creative twist, Michael Anthony’s is simply a must. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to treat yourself to an unforgettable dining experience, Michael Anthony’s will not disappoint! We are planning our next trip already”

“Amazing Food and an atmosphere to die for a must visit when in Savannah Georgia”

“Outstanding! We stopped today for lunch while shopping and were greeted by a lovely lady at the front station. We were immediately seated and served the best meal that we have had since arriving on the island. I ordered the meatball appetizer and lunch portion of rigatoni with vodka sauce and the hubs ordered the calamari appetizer and ravioli with bolognese sauce. The portions were huge, the ingredients were fresh, and everything was absolutely delicious! Prices are reasonable, atmosphere was very pleasant...will absolutely return each time we visit HHI.”

“Excellent lunch with good friends!! Becca was an excellent server and the food was awesome as usual!!👏👏”

“Hot and iced drinks tarts and pastries. breads. sweet treats! almondine tart Blueberry tart salad quiche.”

“We came to crazy crab and was lucky enough to have Susan as our waitress. Susan is the greatest waitress I’ve had at any restaurant ever. She makes sure we get our food in a reasonable time and we don’t stay thirsty. I would give susan a 100/10 on service and I think she needs a raise.”

“Want to give a shout out to this awesome little ice cream shop in Hilton Head with THE Best cones and (my fave) praline ice cream and other tasty treats. We stopped in yesterday leaving town and so glad we did. The sweetest young lady Anna who served us was such a delight. We will definitely be back in next time we are on the Island! Thank you!”

“We came here to celebrate Thanksgiving. Very nice place to visit and great food. I’m a huge fan of fried calamari and you must try it. We also ordered raw oysters and Virginia ones are better because it’s smoother and sweeter!”

“Came here for a birthday meal, staff very helpful and prompt, drinks delicious, food was amazing.!!! We all had various apperatifs starters and mains including puddings. Fabulous”

“Unbelievable hidden gem in Bluffton, SC. Impeccable appointments throughout the inn. Decor and artwork are spot on. Incredibly available and friendly staff who seem proud to be a part of this property. Great beds, perfect water pressure in shower and a perfectly stocked snack pantry of homemade goodies ranging from sweet to savory. If you enjoy fabulous dining, great shops and fabulous art galleries- well this location cannot be beat. Shout out to Katie and Bonnie who made us feel completely at home in their southern hospitality.

Rooms: Plush, elegant, comfy and incredibly appointed.

Walkability: Super convenient walking distance to all the magic downtown Bluffton has to offer.”

“Loved the food Shelia was our waitress service was excellent food was amazing they get five stars had to wait for table was worth the waot”

“Nicole was wonderful! Great service!”

“A fantastic friend suggested this spot for a delightful meal with live music, so my wife and I decided to give it a go last Friday night—and boy, were we impressed! Cary welcomed us with such a warm smile and positive energy that we knew we were in for a special night. Following her recommendation, we ordered the potato leek soup and the Reuben sandwich, and let me tell you, it was an absolute winning combo! The corned beef was just out of this world and complemented the soup perfectly. And that Bloody Mary Cary made? It was simply extraordinary! I absolutely adored the selection of pickled garnishes she put together . The service was outstanding, and the live music was fantastic. We promised Cary we’d come back to sample everything on the menu. We expressed our gratitude for how she made our night unforgettable, and she asked us to skip the tip and just write a great review for The Snug instead—that felt like the perfect gesture! Naturally, we did both! My wife even joked about reaching out to the mayor to rave about that incredible Bloody Mary! The Snug has definitely won our hearts, and we can’t wait to return!”

“Five star dining and service. Excellent”

“Horrible manager on 10/13/2022! He ruined my daughter's 5 year anniversary dinner. They were in from out of state to attend a golf tournament and celebrate their anniversary. When it came time for payment the manager came over and told them they don't accept Discover and was really rude and belittled them for not having any other type of payment with them. There are no signs posted that they don't take Discover. The manager said what do you want us to do, sit everyone down beforehand and tell them we don't take Discover. A sign should have been posted. Every other establishment they visited in Hilton Head took Discover. The manager could have been nice about it while they secured another form of payment instead of belittling them in front of everyone. Their waiter was amazing though. Seems they need to promote the waiter as the new manager.”

“I tried the Fried Mac N Cheese burger and that thing almost wrecked me! So much food yet so delicious. My parents loved their food as well. Fries were great, probably a 4.6/5. Service was okay. Nice view onto golf courses; fantastic atmosphere.”

“We absolutely loved the house that we rented from Beachside getaway for Thanksgiving ! It was perfect for our family. There was plenty of space and the children especially loveed the pool and hot tub! The staff at Beachside getaway were wonderful to work with and so very nice. Our house was a perfect location great for biking to Harbourtown and everywhere else. I will definitely rent from Beachside getaway again.
Anne”

“The food was fantastic. I had the broiled and blackened seafood platter. Very good. The cheese grits were also very good.”

“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 .”
