Gluten-Free Restaurants in Hilton Head Island, SC

“From the moment we walked in, the hospitality from Louis and her team made us feel genuinely welcome, she’s not only a wonderful host but clearly the heart of this incredible place and the foundation behind it. The atmosphere was warm, intimate, and full of soul.

The food was phenomenal! My prosciutto-wrapped scallops were cooked to absolute perfection, and every flavor on the plate felt intentional and beautifully balanced.

The live music was the highlight of the evening — a talented father-and-son duo, with the father on saxophone and the son on bass, created magic together. Their chemistry and musicianship brought such joy and energy to the room.

It’s rare to find a spot where the food, music, and people all align so perfectly! The Jazz Corner absolutely nailed it. We’ll be back every chance we get.“

“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“

“I ordered a GF German Chocolate Birthday cake for my Sweetheart. It was Sooo Delicious!!! I couldn't tell it was gluten free, the taste and texture were exceptional! Thank you, G-Free Spot, for making great GF food options for the Lowcountry. See you again very soon. : )“

“Service and food was excellent. Love the little restaurant atmosphere. A true gem.“

“Great Matcha Lattes and coffee.“

“I should have tried this place sooner. Ate here twice this week on vacation. Customer service and pastries are amazing. Sandwiches were even better. Very reasonable prices for portion size. A can’t miss!“

“I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the food. It was all beautiful. The food was spicy - just how I like it and just what I asked for when I ordered. This place had beautiful decor and a 5 star restaurant atmosphere. The waitstaff were all kind and helpful, very understanding about my shellfish allergy. If I could give it a 10/5 star review I would!“

“Best food on the island. We go every single day of our vacation.“

“Nice quick breakfast cafe in Harbour Town. Staff is professional and loved the menu options. I ended up getting the french toast and it was good. My friend liked her avocado toast too. Waited only 15 minutes for food which was great compared to how long the line was. Cold brew is okay. Definitely a fun spot for vacationers though.“

“What a welcome addition to the HHI restaurant scene! Wonderful family-style dining serving excellent traditional Italian cuisine. Service is friendly and professional. Owners are beyond gracious. Recommend the baked clams, shrimp basilica, gnocchi Romano, lasagna (alternate Saturdays), cannoli dip, tiramisu- etc!“

“This was my second time visiting Hilton Head but the first time going to Philly’s and I could not recommend it more. During our vacation we dined in once and ordered to-go 2 other times. The hoagies are delicious! The rolls are fresh and the portion sizes are big. With a family of 4 it can sometimes be difficult to find places to eat that accommodate all of our tastes but Philly’s has so many options. Also, the staff are super friendly and the woman that took our order remembered us and even recommended us a place to visit! Overall a great experience! Definitely will go back if we visit Hilton Head in the future.“

“A delightful spot and the perfect final meal as we headed to the airport. Busy (use the wait list feature), a little loud, but with comfy seating, pleasant staff, adorable shop area, delicious coffee, food, and drinks - a perfect Saturday brunch. Highly recommend, can’t wait to return☕️🏖️☀️🐚“

“This was our first time here but will not be our last! Very relaxing atmosphere. Great food and nice sized portions. The Garlic Bread was excellent. They even have an early bird menu. Will definitely recommend to everyone and will be back!“

“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.“

“A hidden gem on the island! (Ignore the construction. No sign of it inside!) Excellent food, excellent service and such a great dining room. Great brewed tea. Husband loved his Nashville Chicken and I really enjoyed my barbecue salad. Do not leave without dessert. The key lime may be the best ever! The white chocolate banana pudding is also a winner! We will return again soon! Want to try the Chicken and French Toast and the Oyster Basket with vinegar slaw next time. Thanks, Annie O’s!“

“My wife and I recently dined at Red Fish and had a lovely experience. We appreciated the cozy and intimate atmosphere of the restaurant, which made for a romantic evening out. One of the highlights of our visit was the opportunity to choose a bottle from their impressive wine cellar, which had an extensive selection of wines from around the world. The food was delicious and satisfying. The chef clearly takes great care in creating each dish, using fresh and high-quality ingredients to bring out the best flavors. Throughout our meal, the service was attentive and friendly without feeling overbearing. We appreciated the attention to detail that went into every aspect of our dining experience, from the wine selection to the food presentation to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Overall, we highly recommend Red Fish to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a great meal and outstanding wine selection, Red Fish is definitely worth a visit.“

“Outstanding!“

“Always the best pizza around. Our server - Angel - was the best.“

“We were in town for a week and on our last night ordered a pizza to our hotel. Wow! I wish we would have known about it before we had to leave. Whoever makes the crust, keep it up! Amazing pie and fast delivery. We had it for breakfast too! Thanks!“

“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!“

“Fabulous food, nice atmosphere and our waiter, Nick was amazing! The bread was so good we even bought a few loaves to take home. We will definitely be back, everything was so fresh a delicious.“

“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.“

“We only went for a drink and had to sit at outside bar. In Hilton Head smoking is allowed at outside bars so we didn’t stay there to eat so I know nothing about the food. But my gin and tonic was very good“
