“After spending a week in Hilton Head and frequenting many of the local restaurants, would have to say Alfred's was our favorite. So much so that we ate dinner there twice and both meals were amazing. The fish was cooked to perfection, served piping hot and with a delicious sauce. The German platter is fantastic, and don't miss the potato pancake appetizer. Alfred's delivers where too many restaurants fail - phenomenal food & service.“
“The Studio is a wonderful upscale restaurant right here on Hilton Head Island. The menu, food and service is incomparable. The owners are welcoming and engaging. A lovely art gallery shares the restaurant space in this cozy location. If you are lucky enough to witness one of the local artists creating a masterpiece while you are dining, that's an added bonus! I would highly recommend a visit to The Studio.“
“I don’t often leave reviews but we had a great meal at Hudson’s last night while on vacation here in Hilton Head and I wanted to share that. Our waiter (wish I could remember his name) was truly great. He was humble and quiet but straightforward and honest with a perfect command of the entire menu including exactly where all of the seafood options were harvested and when. I tried the softshell crab prepared two ways per his recommendation. Both were excellent. I then had Mahi over risotto which he talked me into over the shrimp and grits by explaining the risotto was made by hand. It was also excellent. The drinks were good. Deserts of key lime pie and peanut butter chocolate pie didn’t disappoint either. I didn’t look at the prices frankly but it seemed in range. Everyone else’s meal was great but they didn’t really make an effort to try anything different so I think the key might be to do just that, ask the server for some ideas and then give it a shot. Hopefully you won’t be disappointed and maybe you’ll be as satisfied as I was. Good job Hudson’s! (If you are looking to give the server an attaboy we were on the front river facing section and he was the short light haired man, the other server working with him seemed equally great btw as we interacted with him as well).“
“I first saw Stu's on TripAdvisor. It was hard to find with GPS but just remember it is on the street side of Piggly Wiggly. It was worth the search. We bought 4 subs and a Taco. They were all amazing! This will be a go to in the future for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner on our holidays on Hilton Head Island.“
“The best BBQ spot on the Island. My family's been coming to HHI for 11 years straight on family vacation and we eat here every year! Wings are awesome and so are the ribs! They are pretty busy on the weekend nights so the wait could be a little while but we'll worth it.“
“We had the Smoked Salmon Benedict and the Sun Rise Benedict… AMAZING!!! Not only was the food great, but the atmosphere and the staff were amazing. Service was also quick. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!! Thank you Palmetto Bay!“
“Wonderful place. Great coffee and yummy treats. Best ever customer service. Warm, friendly people who answer your questions, check up with you to make sure all is well, allow you to stay longer than close time, and lastly and best, they offer you baked goodies that weren't sold during the day. You don't encounter that kind of place anymore very often. We will be back!“
“A marvelous gem of a restaurant that has some of the best Cajun food you could hope for. Walking through the door magically transports you 600 miles East to New Orleans, you feel like walking back out the door should place you on Bourbon Street or near Jackson Square.The food is all wonderful and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I highly recommend that no matter your meal, you save room for beignets as these alone are worth the stop.Parking: The restaurant is in a stand alone building adjacent to a strip center so there are plenty of spots along the side of the building and out front of the entrance. I've never had an issue getting a spot.Wheelchair accessibility: This is a single story building with a standard ADA manual door. All tables are free standing and chairs can be moved to accommodate any style chair. Staff is extremely friendly and willing to assist if desired.“
“Top notch experience last night at Truffles Cafe. The interior of the restaurant is just gorgeous, with an upscale, sophisticated feel. In spite of that, we felt perfectly comfortable in our casual attire. Our server, while new in his role, got everything right. He was cheerful, attentive, offered great suggestions and made our experience overall a memorable one. Our drinks (Paloma and Martini) were a lovely way to start off the meal. Shortly after warm bread with garlic chive butter arrived at the table, our starter of Baked Brie followed. It was baked in a flaky, turnover-style pastry crust, dotted with Kahlua-soaked pecans, and served with toasted baguette slices. Our entrees (Crab Cake and Grilled Ahi Tuna) were delicious and cooked to perfection. We wrapped up our meal with a shared slice of Key Lime pie - a decadently scrumptious finish. All of the staff here were friendly and helpful. We could not be more pleased and would definitely visit again if we return to Hilton Head. One tip for anyone who wants to make a visit to Truffles Cafe and is NOT staying on the island. There is a $9 entrance fee at the gate to enter the island and you’ll need to be prepared to pay that to enter and visit the restaurant. Thanks so much for the lovely meal and service! Would highly recommend.“
“This little gem is just that. Easily missed but highly recommended. Food and margaritas are delicious. Service is good but has changed. Most don't speak English well so you have to repeat your order and ensure its correct on payment. Mine wasnt. They are very strict on alcohol consumption rules despite selling it/carding everyone. Manager watches every move you make if you dine outside. I assume he's worried about you leaving with the drink. This has been consistent x 4 years. So, hope for table inside or just get food to go if that makes you uncomfortable. A bit pricier now for a party of 4 but offer happy hr specials. 4 people cost me $107 with 1 margarita. At least everything is cooked in front of you and fresh off the grill. Overall, I took away a star for the current changes to staff, service and pricing but still a must-go.“
“My family and I traveled to Hilton Head Island to vacation with friends. I made reservations for the Crazy Crab since it was listed as one of the recommended local kid-friendly restaurants by This Week on Hilton Head.Crazy Crab provides ample parking, stunning views with a fun playground for kids, and a vibrant ambiance. The menu consists of a diverse selection of local seafood and turf dishes. My fish tacos were delicious — perfectly battered with lots of flavor. I thought our server, Anya, provided good service throughout the meal for our large group. She was patient, friendly and organized.However, there were some notable drawbacks and disappointments. One of the chairs had ketchup smeared on it when we first arrived, which unfortunately got onto my friend's hands. Additionally, our other friend had shrimp with his broil which were not properly cleaned — thankfully, this was rectified by our server.To top it off, the demeanor of the hostess (possibly a manager) was less than pleasant; she came across as rude and condescending when we addressed our concerns on the placement of the baby sling for our baby’s car seat and our confusion regarding our reservation. A kind and respectful exchange and simple correction would have been more ideal and professional in our opinion, especially since various restaurants have different approaches to baby car seat placement and reservation numbers regarding infants.Despite these setbacks, the overall experience was still enjoyable, thanks to the picturesque setting and Anya's attentive service. However, due to our mixed experience, we are unlikely to return.“
“Attended an event there and they had everything you really need: drinks including plenty of beer choices they brew there, tasty food, indoor seating, outdoor seating on their porch and a firepit with seating. Friendly service. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend.“
“Really great spot to come and hang with a group or just a few people. We were 12 so they split us to two tables, but our service didn’t suffer for it. The servers made excellent suggestions and were accommodating. I don’t personally eat shellfish, but I’ll give it a try every once in a while. Theirs was top notch and got good reviews from the others with me who were only eating shellfish. I had the steak and it was too-notch. I would definitely send my friends and family here. They also had live music which was fun but not overwhelming for the atmosphere.“
“This little unassuming spot is a treasure that is unique in Hilton Head and has survived and prospered throughout good times and bad, through peak season and pandemic, serving healthy, fresh, and delicious dishes.Great for takeout and eating in or out.Tommy A“
“ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Our experience with Deanos catering my daughter’s MUHLENBERG women’s lacrosse dinner at our beach house was a perfect 10! Jen is so warm, knowledgeable, professional and extremely organized! The food was so delicious and we had a few dietary restrictions on the team and it was no issue. The parents and players all wanted the name and address of this fabulous restaurant! Thank you so much for helping us prepare and assure that my daughter’s Senior year lacrosse dinner was a night to always remember!“
“We had a great time celebrating a birthday! Our group was large with kids and adults. We were able to make a reservation that day, and followed up with the phone call to change it from 6 to 8, no problem. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. There was a band playing covers of 80s music, I bet I’m allowed side, but added to a celebratory dinner.Parking: Full lot!“
“Pretty good spot! The iced chai tea latte was so so good. Perfect amount of spice and it was just so so yummy. The menu is pretty extensive, with lots of vegan and gluten free variations. The service was good, they just seem short staffed. I got a belgian waffle which was pretty good, but $10.50 for just one waffle seemed pricey. It was super yummy though! Definitely would love to go back to try some coffee and pastries!“
“My wife and I had my birthday lunch here (7th March '24) the food was excellent, very tasty and well presented in a beautiful setting.I can highly recommend this place....we will be back.Michael Dunn CG ...former chef to HM Queen Elizabeth II (16yrs)“
“Becoming my own personal tradition and highlights of my trips to Hilton Head, grabbing a poke bowl (because no else in my family is wild about it), maybe even an açaí bowl and enjoying it while my kids play at the lowcountry celebration park across the street. It’s either an easy walk or there’s a nice pick up window where you can order ahead of you want to picnic at the park. Great poke. Fresh and delicious. Definitely one of my happy places on HHi.“
“We recently held our sons rehearsal dinner at the Boathouse Pavillion. it was amazing and couldn’t have gone any better. Tilden was our contact and as a former event coordinator I can tell you she knows her stuff! an absolute pleasure to deal with and I had no worries throughout the process. the food was delicious and a brownie dessert that was recommended was incredible. The service and the ambience was first class! We were so happy to have found this place. If you have an event and are not having it here, you are really missing the boat!“
“For the amount of people in this place, my expectations were pretty high, but honestly it was a little disappointing. The menu has something for everyone, but all of the food we had was really bland, and the presentation wasn’t great either. The service was good though.“
“Roy and his staff went above and beyond to create an amazing private rehearsal dinner for us! The portions were large, the taste was out of this world and the chef was AMAZING! From the first phone call Roy was pleasant, kind and accommodating to all of our desires! He was always available and so helpful with us being so many states away. No one left hungry and people are still talking about how delicious the food was weeks later!!! We can't thank you enough for making our special evening even that more special and delicious!!! A must for any event you have - can't wait to use Roy and his company again when we visit South Carolina!!!! Xo“

“I don’t often leave reviews, but this place was excellent! I am Gluten Free, and the lady running the store was very knowledgeable about which products I could and could not eat. Also, she was super kind, talkative, and relatable. She said that the Gelato was based on her Sicilian families recipes, and being in Sicily this summer, it definitely took me back! I highly recommend Nonna Marie’s and we will be going back whenever we come back to Hilton Head next!Dietary restrictions: Tons of Gluten Free options!“
“I love the salads from Healthy Habit however, when you pay the extra for toppings on the salad I expect the toppings to be on there. I ordered apple along with many other toppings and the apple was not on there. When you order through a delivery service you get charged and there is no way to dispute the extra charges.“
“Great place to go at night for bar activities. Cornhole outside was fun, drinks seemed reasonably priced. Lots of different bars around here all walkable. You pay a 5$ cover to enter the concourse and have access to like 4 bars all with different live music and themes.“
“Came here to do a tasting and tour, and really enjoyed our experience here. The coconut rum really stood out to me, it didn't taste fake or overtly sweet like most generic ones are. We ended up buying several bottles, Solera Rum, Bananas Foster Rum, Coconut Rum, and the Blood Orange Gin. The tour was very good, as were the cocktails and tastings that went along with it. This is a place we would return without hesitation.“
“This place has amazing smash burgers! Overall: excellent, quick, and friendly service, tasty food with good prices, and a nice location with outdoor seating available. They also have ice cream which is a big plus!I definitely recommend eating here for lunch or dinner!“
“We were staying in the area, and my partner Googled places to try near us. We ended up trying out the Sandbar, and our first visit was fantastic! The bartender, DB, took great care of us. He made us drinks, poured us shots, and recommended the blackened fish tacos, shrimp bagettes (don't remember the official name), and wings. Everything was delicious and perfect.We went back again the next day and the vibe was great again but the bartenders were not as attentive (DB was off) and the fish tacos were mediocre but I don't think we asked for them to be blackened ?. It's worth a try!“

“Best sausage gravy my son has ever had - and he considers himself quite the connoisseur. The spicy chicken was perfectly spicy. But the biscuits were the real MVP: giant, fluffy, buttery and just absolute perfection. Love this little gem right in the middle of “
“Let me start by saying it's a good place, the food is fair. Our issue was with the server that day. He brought the wrong order, forgot the silverware, nobody was outside for a while to take the order and then waited for him to come back so we could ask for the check. He was very friendly but his mind was not on it. That's the reason for the ⭐⭐⭐⭐Vegetarian options: They r not labeled but you can find some dishes that could work for you as vegetarian“
“This was our second visit since the re-opening last week. The prices have changed dramatically and therefore I would have expected top notch food. My mahi-mahi tacos were very disappointing. They were very dry and needed sour cream, tomatillo sauce or something to add flavour. I was unable to change the accompanying tortilla chips for fruit. It’s redundant to have tortilla chips accompanying corn tortillas tacos. The chips were also soggy probably left out in the humid weather. Thankfully the margarita helped me get over the overpriced $17 taco dish.“
“Brent is an awesome owner, super friendly and always adding cool new menu items. Just tried the new pimento bacon panini today, came with some jelly on it, and it was incredible. Nice southern feel to the menu and inventory, good people. Love the flavored ice lattes too (personal favorite is the almond joy). Can't go wrong with a trip to C'est Bon, especially if you're already in Sea Pines.“
“This is one of the best coffee shops on the island, the breakfast panini is amazing and the coffee I really enjoyed, and was way better than Starbucks. Larry was so fun to hang out with and we enjoyed when he came by for some casual conversation.“
“This is my favorite restaurant in Hilton Head. Live music just about every night. Great outdoor seating with a view of the harbor. The food was great and the Hurricane drinks were delicious. After you eat you can take a walk on the boardwalk and get some photos with your family of the yachts in the background then check out all the little shops. Overall just a great dining experience. I will definitely be back.“
“2nd visit to this spot. Convenient location and fair prices, especially on the island. Husband ordered a pizza and I had the hot Italian sub.My sub was exactly what I had hoped for. The bread was crusty and fresh. Homemade fries were also a bonus!Hubby's pizza was okay, a nice NY style crust. Buy overall just average.The dining was especially busy, even though it was past 2 pm. The servers were friendly, but it did take too long to get our check. They did a good job with drink refills.“
“Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere! Our server Dave was wonderful- thank you! Highly recommend the shrimp and calamari, she crab soup, and fried chicken if you are feeling some comfort food. Portions are great, fantastic and friendly wait staff. Beautiful location on the water, we so much enjoyed our experience!“
“Loved all the choices—we really loved the mango and strawberry coconut. Perfect stop after a day at the beach. The young man who served us “C” was very helpful and nice. Our family of 5 got 2 small and 3 large (different kinds) and total was $27 which was very reasonable compared to our ice cream stop the day before ($38 for 5 smalls) and our 3 kids liked it a lot more. Definitely will go back to try more flavors!“
“This bustling little bakery is so cute with a cozy and Parisian vibe. Their desserts are all gorgeous and taste incredible. They had such a wide variety and something for everyone. Their coffee menu was also extensive. We got a Raspberry Love and Ultimate Bon Bon and they were both incredible. The employees were so sweet to us and the service was very quick. Definitely a must stop for dessert lovers. They had tons of French desserts as well as crazy croissants and breads. An incredible little place.“
