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!”

“Great food and great people!”

“So much history! So beautiful!”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“The most unique dining experience in the low country. Great live music, shrimp, scrap irons and a great burger! Enjoy our islands.”

“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 recently spent our anniversary at Links and were blown away by the service, food and atmosphere. It was more than just a dinner it was an experience. We had a four course dinner including tuna and steak tartar, seared tuna and wagyu, crab cake and ravioli. My husband had the Delmonico steak and I had the halibut all paired with a delicious wine. We ended with a dessert charcuterie board that was out of this world! A special thank you to our server Damion, Chef Sean and Chef Iain for making our experience so wonderful. If you haven’t tried it yet you are missing out on one of Hilton Heads best kept secrets!”

“We stopped for an afternoon nosh. Very nice. After receiving such wonderful service we decided to return for dinner and were not disappointed! All around fantastic.”

“Food is great! My husband and I visit every time we are at HHI. Their clams strips are the best we have EVER had. The hush puppies are delicious as well. This visit I tried their crab cake from the waiters suggestion. It was this "Marylander" approved! Thanks Rich for the recommendation and great service! See you on the next visit.”

“Amazing”

The Food..... was delicious and I am still thinking about that menu!! so many options to choose from! can't wait to visit again!”

“Always a great meal at The Deck! It’s been six years since we have been here and the food and service is just as good as I remembered!”

“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.”

“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”

“Excellent staff! Knowledgeable about menu and very friendly. The food is amazing, my family and I shared tastes of several dishes and desert. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

“Food and service was incredible. The food did not disappoint everything was absolutely delicious and the view couldn't be beat. Place has a great selection of top shelf spirits.”

“What a great company. The coffee cookies and cream and the oatmeal cookie ice cream was PHENOMENAL. We will make sure to add The Ice Cream Cone to our future visits to the island. PS: the tip sign was iconic and I’m sad I didn’t get a picture.”

“Great service. Erin took car of our group of about 40 people. This was last minute. Alex took care of us. Our meals were excellent!! Wonderful place for Seafood, steak and pork chops!!”

“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.”

“Absolutely amazing experience! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so cozy and quaint. We’ve been twice this month. We can’t wait to go back.”

“Always a great time and foods always on point here! Brandon was fantastic. Highly recommend”

“Had lunch at Hudson’s for the first time today. Service was impeccable, food was wonderful. Have never had such good hush puppies! Brittany was our server - could not have asked for anyone better.”
