“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The BEST dining experience we had in Hilton Head! The location right on the beach, the variety of options on the menu, and the incredible service made for such a great experience. Our server Tushar was phenomenal as he was attentive, funny, and so welcoming! We hope to be back someday!“

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

“Great Food , Bad. Service .“

“9/17/25 was our 2nd trip to Benny's and it did not disappoint either time. Our first trip was last fall when you had just opened & the rooftop was not completed yet. Me, my sister & my niece were delighted with our choices...grouper, seafood cannelloni , Brazilian fish stew...WOW!! But what we were most impressed with was our waiter, Ladrae' Foster, a young 20 year old man. He was lots of fun and very knowledgeable about the menu. We asked LOTS of questions about entrees and he always had the most detailed answer. Excellent service, too! We'll definitely be back!“

“Best seafood restaurant in the low country“

“It is the only place I want to eat for dinner on HHI!“

“Love the food and service!“

“This place is amazing!! Jenna was such a good server and so attentive! If you want a good view and good food then come here!“

“Absolutely love!! My favorite on the island!!! Local seafood!!!“

“We have been in Bluffton for a couple of weeks and we have eaten at The Pearl twice now. The food is exquisite and the service is wonderful. You will not be disappointed.“

“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!“

“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.“

“NO BONES ABOUT IT, THE RIBS ARE OUTSTANDING -- my husband and I have eaten at Red Fish every time we've visited HHI in the last 15 plus years. To-date, I've always gone seafood: sea bass, grouper, salmon and scallops. Decided to mix it up and go for the rack of ribs (or should it read raaaaaaaack of ribs). It filled a very large oval dish. Despite the size, the ribs were perfectly cooked, moist, tender, fell right off the bone. The sides of slaw and blue cheese potato gratin were great too. Well done Red Fish, well done. PS -- took half the ribs home and ate them for lunch today.“

“Best food ever, it’s the first place we go when we arrive and we typically eat here 2-3 times before we leave.“

“We had the most enjoyable dinner. Atmosphere was great! Our server Jessica was fantastic! Dinner was delicious! 5 stars!! Loved it!!“

“Tonight was our 2nd time eating at Crudo and once again everything was amazing. We started with the crispy octopus which was flavorful and tender. It was recommended to us by the server and another couple we ended up talking to seated next to us, and it was truly a fantastic recommendation. My husband had the Wagyu steak which was better than any local steakhouse in the area and I had the Lobster Roll which was sweet, tender, and juicy. The service was impeccable and Crudo offers a quant, quiet atmosphere. If you haven’t been, you are missing out on the best restaurant Bluffton has to offer.“

“We found this place on our way home and wanted something different from fast food and I must say this place was amazing. The food was amazing. Everyone who worked there was extremely nice. Our waitress was very friendly and made our visit pleasant. We will definitely be back next time we are in Hilton Head. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good food, friendly staff, great prices, decorated nice, and clean.“

“First time there tonight. We could not be more pleased. The owner and staff exceeded our expectations. We frequently eat out in both Hilton Head and Bluffton and we highly recommend Sea Grass Grille.“

“Great food great service all and all a 10/10“

“Food and Service was Great !“

“I love May River Grill. The food is fantastic and staff are all amazing. Definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

“Alex at the Montage Palmetto Bluff provided an exceptional guest experience from start to finish. In a community known for world-class hospitality, Alex stands out for professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to making every interaction seamless and enjoyable.

The Octagon pickup service was outstanding, prompt, courteous, and flawlessly executed. Alex made the entire process effortless, ensuring we felt welcomed, valued, and well cared for throughout our visit. It’s the small details and personal touches that separate good service from truly memorable service, and Alex consistently delivered at the highest level.

Palmetto Bluff is one of the finest destinations in the Lowcountry, and team members like Alex are a big reason why. Thank you for representing the Montage brand with such excellence and for helping create an unforgettable experience.

Highly recommended and very well deserved!“

“We got the margarita scallop appetizer, crab cakes, and fried shrimp. Scallops were amazing! The fried shrimp was really good, and, aside from a little extra salt, the crab cakes were good, too. Service was a little slow, but that was because they were absolutely slammed. Definitely make reservations.“

“Amazing dishes, tasty plus fulfilling“

“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 am so glad that PaPa’s is near my home. The food is always consistent, good and enjoyable. The servers are all good and soon you become attached to them. Their BBQ is very good as is their seafood. How can this happen, but it does! I love their food! I hope the recent loss of their owner will not effect the operation of the restaurant. Please come out and try this outstanding local restaurant!“

“This is a great spot! If you're in the Tybee island area, you should definitely check them out!
The oysters were delicious! We also schucked them ourselves and that was so fun! The outdoor space was so nice and very well decorated. The bar area inside also looked like good times too.
I highly recommend checking them out!“

“We went to Alexander's for the first time in honor of our anniversary. It was outstanding! Food and service were top notch and they even brought out a piece of peanut butter pie with a Happy Anniversary chocolate piece on it at the end. We will definitely come back!“

“Bluffton location is fantastic. Great food, awesome staff! Thank you Katelynn for such wonderful service!“

“We had blackened shrimp nachos and mahi mahi. Both were delicious. In fact, we enjoyed our meals so much that we have decided to have dinner there tomorrow night as well.“

“OMG! Fabulous food, ambience, drinks! Our waitress above and beyond! Ruth and Courtney were FANTASTIC!!! Must try Scallop bruschetta..chips with curry mayo n gravy… outrageous!!! I’m from Scotland and this is by far the best!!!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Coastal Capri Ristorante, and a huge part of that was our waiter, James. From the moment we sat down, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly personable. He took the time to answer all of our questions, offered excellent recommendations, and made sure every detail of our meal was perfect. His knowledge of the menu and thoughtful suggestions made it easy to choose dishes we absolutely loved.

What truly made our evening unforgettable was the kindness he showed our family. When he found out our son had just graduated Pre-K, he surprised him with celebratory cannolis, which completely made his day. It was such a thoughtful gesture that meant so much to us and made the celebration even more special. Exceptional service like James provided is hard to find, and he went above and beyond in every way. We can't wait to come back, and we'll definitely be asking for James again. Thank you for making such a special occasion even more memorable!“

“Love Red Stripes. Caribbean Cuisine & Lounge ! Amazing eats and delicious meals. The service is excellent!“

“Love Bowdies! Amazing steaks and service.“

“We dined at this restaurant last evening arriving around 5:15 and seated right away. Our server, Hart was awesome and our orders were accurate and he went out of his way to accommodate our requests. The atmosphere was nice but started to get really noisy upon our departure. The hush puppies were delicious and our Bloody Mary was exceptional but the rest of our food was mediocre. I will say my scallops were sweet and tender. Everyone else in our party said their dinners were just ok.“

“Buddington, our waiter was amazing! So pleasant and knowledgeable. Food delicious!! View amazing! Sunset - ahhhh!!!“

“We went there for the first time today and am very happy we did. The service was spot on, the food was delicious and well portioned, drinks were perfectly made and the place was beautiful. We will definitely be back and bring others with us“

“Outstanding!“

“We have been coming to Hilton Head twice a year for 4 years. This is the first time we visited in the spring and the first time to Celeste Coastal Cuisine. We were absolutely pleased from the greeting as we entered and the great service from our waitress, Deidra. We even received complimentary champagne in honor of our 50th wedding anniversary! The ambience was superb- finally a place where you can hear each other speak and the dinner was delicious. We are due to return in June and it is definitely on our list of restaurants to visit. Thanks again for a wonderful dining experience!“

“Outstanding sound, amazing vibe, great gumbo, and an unforgettable pecan sweet potato pie. After 4 decades of visiting Hilton Head yearly, I've finally found a place on the island with authentic soul.“

“Great people, amazing food, and good vibes!“
