“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.“

“We sat outside. Our food was absolutely amazing, our server was great he even offered to take a photo of us with our food. We had the mojo chicken quesadilla appetizer- for $16 I thought we would get a little more than 3 pieces but it was good. The boil, jerk chicken, and lobster Mac was great!“

“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!“

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

“Love the food and service!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food and Service was Great !“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“We come every year as a family to tybee because of the atmosphere. We came down again today for another reason our daughter's birthday that passed and went and ate here when I tell you they make you feel at home and family they do. The waitress Laura was so sweet and had great service she didn't know what today was or anything she just remembered us from a trip before. She made us feel like we use to when we all were here. We always loved there food and I forgot that my order came with tomatoes. Of course being allergic when she brought the food I saw and was just going to let my husband have it. Her and the chief made me another order and had it ready in no time. They were great. They apologized but it wasn't there fault it was mine. When I say I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone I would and have. We come from Chattanooga and I even tell people there about them. Thank you all for being so great my family and I appreciate it.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Wonderful dinner by the water. Service was excellent and the food outstanding. I had the Halibut with shrimp dinner with lime rice pilaf. My husband had the prime rib and cooked to perfection ... no need for a sharp knife. Caesar salad was fresh and light .“

“Amazing dishes, tasty plus fulfilling“

“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!“

“Sarah is an amazing host!! Thank you for the fantastic food and service!! Fun night!! Highly recommend! Thanks Sarah!!“

“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.“

“Great spot! Doug mixed up some great cocktails. But the food was off the hook! Everything was fantastic. Very friendly staff. The chef came out of the kitchen and introduced himself. We are new to the island and will be putting The Sunday Cafe at the top of our rotation.“

“Such a beautiful experience!! The food was amazing. The portion sizes were amazing. The staff were some of the kindest and most hospitable folks ever. Our waiter even ran outside to help us take photos! Can’t wait to visit again.“

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

“Best experience food you can get in tybee. Veronica,Javetta, and Sherri best servers out there you’ll go to fannie’s“

“Wanted to try something new in Tybee, so we ventured here to try it out.
The Kelpie on Tybee was a great idea.
We had the short rib Sammie and salmon blt. The food was over the top! Great taste!
Our server was Erika and she took care of us quick and checked in on us frequently.
We definitely will be back here on every visit to Tybee!“

“A friend told me to check this place out, and I’m so glad I did! Tried alligator for the first time—surprisingly tasty—and the fried seafood combo was fresh and filling. Chill vibes, friendly staff, and a really fun spot overall. Would come back for sure“

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! My daughter and I had a wonderful evening at Coastal Capri! The specials were outstanding - the burrata salad and the lobster ravioli were to die for! Service was impeccable - Michael was super attentive and his wine recommendation was spot on. We will be back very soon!“

“Love Bowdies! Amazing steaks and service.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Walked in and people were smoking at the bar. Nasty smell so we walked out.“

“Possibly the best burgers around that we have had!“

“My experience was good! I ordered the gizzard/liver mixed. I don’t eat gizzard but hers was on point…. No long chewing at all. They were Soft and almost melted in my mouth. The server was nice. My main dish was stewed shrimp & SNOW CRAB… the flavor was everything. However, my only issue was that my dish did not have snow crab meat but imitation crab meat. I hope when visit again, there’s some real crab meat on the plate“
