50 Best American Restaurants in Hilton Head Island

“Made reservations thru Resy for relatively early dining at 5:30. Was disappointed that we were seated near the bar, far from the windows after requesting a table with a view in a relatively empty dining room.

Other than the initial disappointment, the meal was delicious and service was good. Hubby's Manhattan was well made and I had a very nice glass of Italian Sangiovese. Filets were cooked perfectly and had great flavor.“

“it is awesome bbq I have had where I live I haven't found bbq pit is good“

“Rikki and her team were amazing tonight and every night we have dined at Frasier‘s. The quality of the food, the ambience and the friendliness of every patron is always appreciated. Why is this restaurant and bar so popular for residents and visitors? It’s all about the people. It’s our first place we want to return to every time we come to Sea Pines.“

“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.

“The food was once again excellent. Service was very good! Love the Dean Martin Rat Pack area in the back. They sat us at the same table as last year. So many good food choices!“

“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.“

“I was surprised to see the comment about the lack of gluten free soy sauce I am a celiac and I mentioned it to them Walked in a couple days later and they had bought some These are good people I wish them much success“

“What a great place. Sadly we found this place on our last night in Hilton Head or we may have been there every night. It will definitely be on our list of places to go often when we come back. The food is excellent. The salon burger is the best burger I have ever eaten. The place is fun the staff is friendly. They were playing trivia the night we were there and it was a great time. The prices are great and the portions are big. The owner is awesome. I highly suggest visiting this place if you do you will definitely go back. A great place“

“We always visit Truffles when we come down to SC! The atmosphere, wait staff, menu options… all fantastic! This trip didn’t disappoint! Everything was fabulous! Thank you!“

“Absolutely wonderful dinner and overall experience. The mini crab claws and fried green tomatoes were so delicious. The server was helpful in providing recommendations on the menu. For dinner, we had the Cajun grouper, blackened red fish, crab cakes, and scallops. Every dish was perfect. For dessert, we tried the strawberry cake-fabulous! Definitely a great spot and we will for sure be back!“

“Jen and Scott and the entire team do a great job. Food is amazing, as is ambiance and service. The butter bread… WOAH! Lots of good places to eat here. Lulu is one of the best.“

“Kenroy was an absolute pleasure! He was incredibly attentive to our allergies and ensured we’d be accommodated. He also took some time to talk to us about cricket and football! The salad and the jerk sandwich was delicious and can not be recommended enough. Sitting outside under the tree is a great option and is a wonderful vibe.“

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

“Stop in to Mixx on Main. A hidden gem at the North end of the Island, just off 278. Reasonably priced, great food - American and Mexican fare. No wait, and no reservations needed. Come find us!“

“We visited this outstanding restaurant/live jazz venue last evening for the first time. Seating is reserved in a spaced out format, so staff is not unindated with drink and food orders at once. I'd recommend getting an earlier time prior to the show, or you will get your food in the dark. Waitress very knowledge of food and regularly visited our table for water refills or to see if we needed anything. The show was Martin Lesch who regularly plays at the club. Extremely talented group. Food was excellent. This place is a well oiled machine.“

“It’s always professional yet family like experience at Roy’s please 10/10 always recommend.!!“

“We just moved to Hilton Head this summer and never heard of this restaurant(until today)but decided to try it and oh boy so glad we did! Excellent service, creative menu and cocktails. Truly one of the best restaurants!! Loved it!“

“Staffing tied me over or second to none. I have been going to tide me over for almost 20 years. I've gotten to know the chef who's worked there for 19. I've gotten to know some of the staff that were there for 5 years. They provide treats when you are a continue coming guest. Show the cast some love and they will do the same to you. Enjoy the food here that it is just as good as what they have on Disney's Beach area and for 8:30 to 5:00 you can't go wrong“

“Truly, some of the best food and drinks I have ever had, we weren't disappointed by a single thing we had here. The specialty salmon was INCREDIBLE, oysters were so fresh, and cocktails were delicious (and strong)!

The staff was incredible! Beautiful views all around the restaurant, they allow you to take drinks to-go in plastic cups, so get there early to grab a drink and walk around the property!“

“You should never miss an early morning cocktail at Big Jim's Pizza at Bobby Trent Jones Golf Course.
All mornings are exceptional, but for a little lift in your step and an attitude boost come see Kat on Tuesday morning 🥰⛳“

“amazing service and food. will return and recommend“

“Arrived into town late and the Frosty Frog Cafe was incredibly accommodating and more than willing to serve us even with just 10 minutes before the kitchen closed. Food was hot, fresh and came out fast!! Drinks from the bar were outstanding as well. Our server Sheldon was downright AWESOME and took great care of us, and he and JJ even opened the gift shop back up for us last minute so we could grab a jacket for our daughter after it started to get chilly out. Exemplary atmosphere and top tier service and quality all around!! HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!! Thank you so much for all of your help, we will be back! :)“

“My favorite when visiting Hilton Head Island.“

“Had a 1028a tee time and had the best experience *both inside and out. Not a member but was treated as such. Food at the pub was marvelous, the fries had a tasty seasoning added and the cod sandwich was perfection. Would recommend to anyone. My son says the grilled cheese was the bomb. Thanks Brianna!“

“It was beautiful and felt so cozy. The food was all delicious!“

“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.“

“Skillets is absolutely amazing! From the food to the beautiful ambience. Our waitress Marilyn was so kind and attentive. I had the Mahi tacos. They were the best I've ever had. There chef Keman cooked everything to perfection. All of the toppings were homemade. Love that place!“

“Excellent service and wonderful menu options“

“The food was good, but we had a really weird experience at the beginning. My mother and I walked in and requested a table for two. The hostess says “do you have a reservation, we don’t take walk ins.” We didn’t have a reservation so we left. But I was so hungry after just getting off a plane that I didn’t want to search for a new place. I looked up Jane online and made a res for 1:00 (it was 12:49… and there were tons of available time slots). So we walked back in and told the same hostess we had a reservation. Then while we sat and waited 10 min for a table we listened to her tell other walk ins it was a 10 min wait. The whole thing was so strange. I think my salad was good, but definitely annoyed by the initial service (waitress super sweet though).“

“Amazing food great treatment“

“Carlton was our server last night, and I would just like to say that he is amazing! We are here visiting for my husband and I wedding anniversary. He built a rapport and continued to check in with us while our dinner was being cooked and was attentive to detail.“

“Wanted to give a 5 star rating to waiter Sarthak , SAM. His service was fantastic. I ordered a chicken sandwich plain , with no seasoning. It was made as I asked and was delicious. He has a great personality and gives excellent service.. Made our dining experience great.“

“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 .“

“12/10 Subs are superb and super filling! Incredible customer service and super friendly staff. The owner was incredible with my 2 year old. Kids or no kids it’s a must try!“

“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.“

“Waitress was absolutely awesome. I had the Blackened fish tacos, and they were awesome.“

“Love the food and service!“

“Love this place. Oysters are so good and the service is great“

“My husband and I came into Hilton head Island very late on a Sunday evening. We didn’t even take our things to our resort Villa. We just looked for food close by and this was what was available. What a gem we met Willie he provides great service and loves this island and has fabulous personality. Our food was fantastic. We enjoyed it so much that we returned the next night for dinner.“

“We love this place! We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks for our wedding here and John and his team went above and beyond! We had the best night! Food is always delicious and staff are great! Views are beautiful as well! Make sure to check this place out!“

“We had such a fantastic experience thanks to Jodian at HH Prime at the Omni! From the moment we walked up to the bar, she delivered truly outstanding service. Jodian was welcoming, professional, and had such a great personality that made the entire experience even more enjoyable.

She made our drinks perfectly and had everything ready for us to take along while we headed outside to play the giant chess board, which made the evening even more fun. It’s not often you come across someone who can balance great hospitality, efficiency, and genuine friendliness the way she does.

Jodian made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel completely taken care of. Service like this is what makes you want to come back again and again.

If you visit HH Prime, definitely stop by the bar and say hello to Jodian , she’s a true professional and an absolute asset to the Omni team. Outstanding 5 star service all around!“

“Excellent atmosphere and great music!!! Stee! is the life of the party... His parents is the owners of the bar. I am a timeshare owner on the island and I come down just to visit this venue from Alabama.“
