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

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

“Amazing“

“The restaurant had exceptional food and service. My husband and I celebrated our 15th anniversary here and they made sure that everything was perfect, down to where they sat us. The area is beautiful. We will definitely go back every time we visit Hilton Head.“

“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’ve been to both the lounge for a nice date and the oceanfront dining with our toddler and love both. Tushar was our server when we had our toddler and he was very accommodating, I swear he got my son’s food served within ten minutes which was nice because we were only able to get a late reservation for the evening so our son was pretty tired by the time we sat down. I ordered a mule and the Sweet Corn Risotto, both were delicious. The risotto was a great mix of flavors including fried shrimp, pickled red onions, and cotija cheese.
After dinner, we split up and some of us went upstairs to the lounge to get drinks. Thomas was busy but made our drinks exactly as we liked them once he was available. We originally asked if we could sit on the patio outside but there were no servers available so we sat with Thomas at the bar. After we ordered a second drink, the host offered to help us carry our drinks out to the patio if we still wanted to sit outside. I didn’t catch his name but he was very sweet about it, we declined but appreciated it. I don’t think a Moscow mule was even on their menu as an option but both Tushar and Thomas were willing to make them for me.
I highly recommend this location for a fancy date or a nice evening out with the family.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“Love the food and 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!“

“we went to Bubba Gumbos for lunch and both had the Shrimp Po' Boy Sandwich...it was delicious!!!!! best one I've ever had! Parking lot was packed so parking was difficult but so worth it!“

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

“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.“

“An absolutely excellent experience!! Amazing food! The best fish & chips I’ve ever had (and I’ve had them in England!). Sidney and Haley were AMAZING servers, too! Definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“Food and Service was Great !“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

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

“Octagon is one of those places you’ve got to try. From the food to the service, everything was great.
Starting off with food - it was all amazing. We were lucky enough to be here while Master sushi chef Shinya Horiguchi was visiting, so I treated myself to some nigiri and it was amazing. Melt-in-your-mouth and everything. As for actual dishes which were also great. I didn’t go too crazy with the dishes, kept it simple with salads and burgers, but everything still was amazing. Ordered the Green Goddess twice (once with grilled shrimp and once with grilled chicken- def go for the shrimp) and it was so fresh and delicious each time. The burger was amazing, but so massive and filling that I had to take half to go.
Service was also exceptional. Everyone is beyond kind. I was also with young kids and they were extremely accommodating, plus the restaurant offers an extensive kids menu and other things that made dining with kids easier.
The environment, service, and food were some that I do not see often. There was live music some nights also which made the ambiance that much better. Really enjoyed my dinners here. If God wills it, I certainly will be back in the future.“

“Fantastic food. We had the pistachio encrusted tuna with broccoli and sweet potatoes and we also had side salads. One person at our table substituted this sweet potato for the brussel sprouts with peanuts. Those were good but maybe a little bit too many peanuts. Michelle was our server and she did an excellent job she was thoughtful and caring and helpful. This was our first time visiting the restaurant and we look forward to coming back!“

“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.“

“Amazing dishes, tasty plus fulfilling“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Coastal Capri! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was outstanding. James was an excellent waiter—friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. He truly made our experience extra special. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Coastal Capri to anyone looking for a great Italian dining experience!“

“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!“

“My husband and I came in here yesterday to get out of the rain… we had the gator bites, fried pickles and oysters. Everything we had was VERY delicious 😋!!! We came back again tonight and got more oysters! I LOVE the bartender / waitress. SUPER ⭐! She is extremely FRIENDLY and VERY accommodating! If you are in Tybee Island please be sure to come by and get the oysters! Definitely the BEST in town!!! Thank you to the chef that prepared the food…. EXCELLENT!!!“

“My wife and I recently enjoyed this restaurant in Hilton Head. We had cocktails , burrata tomato salad w balsalmic, glazed short ribs and Weiner schnitzel w mashed potatoes in both entrees (pics below in order). I would give it all 4.9 stars as the only thing was the schnitzel was a bit salty. Donna was a superb server and made great suggestions and her service was 5 stars!“

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

“Dropped in for brunch today and just blown away by the chef, who happens to be the owner too. If the coquilles St Jacques are available, do not hesitate. Best I’ve had outside France. See photo. Eggs Royale also amazing. We shared the scallops but could have split the Eggs Royale, which would leave tummy room for trying something else. Definitely coming back and kudos Chef!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

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