New American Restaurants in Hilton Head Island, SC

“I came here the first time for a unique jazz / dinner experience. Now 5 years later I don’t stay in Hilton Head without paying them a visit. The food and service is truly phenomenal and their musicians and shows never miss. 5 stars across the board.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything was awesome 👌. Saloon burger, Pulled pork, mac and cheese. Will be coming back“

“This is our 4th vacation to the island and we are major foodies!! Lulu Kitchen was so impressive and I can’t wait to come back next year. We had the lobster mac and cheese for an appetizer and my kids split the fillet and it was so tender it cut with a butter knife! My husband and I split the salmon and added a side of brussels sprouts everything was so amazing and the kids loved the fresh lemonade!“

“Great Burgers and sushi. Literally something for everyone in the family. Love Charbar Co.!“

“I recently had a wonderful dining experience at the Sage room and highly recommend visiting. The fresh, high-quality food was exceptional, particularly the steak which outperformed many luxury chains. Beyond the impressive menu, the atmosphere was warm, and the staff was both attentive and professional. It is clear the owners prioritize, every detail of the guest experience.“

“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.“

“Exceptional brunch this morning.“

“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!“

“Great price on oysters, great seafood tacos! Trivia night was fun as well.“

“My favorite when visiting Hilton Head Island.“

“We had a few nice meals here while staying at the Omni. The food is nothing too special but it works if you don’t want to leave the resort. Pretty much any drink you get is $15-18 which is wild for just a mojito or standard daiquiri.

The one time we sat there and ate, a really nice gentleman served us and when he brought our check let us know it said Hannah because she was supposed to be our server. We literally never even saw her so we just tipped him cash. It didn’t seem right.“

“Had a light dinner and drinks with friends that were staying at the hotel. The she-crab soup is the best I've had on the island. The crab cakes were also very good.The service was great and we enjoyed our meal/happy hour there. I am happy to have found the restaurant and will definitely go back.“

“Excellent food and friendly service made for a great night for us 10 ladies! Everyone was very satisfied with her menu choice.“

“Great food. Excellent setting. Quiet. Nice place to celebrate our anniversary. The server asked if we were celebrating anything. At end of meal she brought out a nice dessert and said congratulations. Here’s a dessert to help you celebrate. Nice touch. UNTIL WE GET THE BILL!!!! They charged us for dessert. Never anywhere have had this happen. And it said celebration dessert. Lol.“

“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.“
