50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Hilton Head Island

“We have been to the Jazz Corner many times and it is always a fabulous show with incredible food and service. Tonight was truly special being there with our young adult children and niece, experiencing the spectacularly talented group Folderol. We’ve been bringing our children here since they were 5 & 6 and this was one of their most favorite experiences. The group Folderol takes popular music and recreates them into amazing jazzy performances. Standing ovation and encore performances with crowd participation-it was electric! Thank you for a memorable evening and we hope to see you again.“

“First time visiting this place, after living in the vicinity for a couple of years. We celebrated our son’s 16th at Links and were pleasantly surprised. Tracy was our server, and was knowledgeable and made us feel right at home. The food was superb! We will be back as there are several entrees we would like to try out next.“

“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“

“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.“

“Excellent traditional pizza joint played U2 and all !“

“This was our second time coming to Coast! What a hidden gem this place is. We love the Jerk Chicken & The blackened Redfish. The food reminds us of back home. Cristina was super attentive and personable from the time we were seated, she immediately brought waters to time we left. We will definitely be back!“

“We’ve been coming to Hilton Head for years and decided to try Fraser’s for the first time. Honestly I was surprised how much we all loved the food. I expected a golf course restaurant to be more of a pub food menu but even the shrimp and fish we ordered was amazing. Awesome, casual atmosphere with great views if you sit outside.“

“Horrible manager on 10/13/2022! He ruined my daughter's 5 year anniversary dinner. They were in from out of state to attend a golf tournament and celebrate their anniversary. When it came time for payment the manager came over and told them they don't accept Discover and was really rude and belittled them for not having any other type of payment with them. There are no signs posted that they don't take Discover. The manager said what do you want us to do, sit everyone down beforehand and tell them we don't take Discover. A sign should have been posted. Every other establishment they visited in Hilton Head took Discover. The manager could have been nice about it while they secured another form of payment instead of belittling them in front of everyone. Their waiter was amazing though. Seems they need to promote the waiter as the new manager.“

“The food was fantastic. I had the broiled and blackened seafood platter. Very good. The cheese grits were also very good.“

“Delicious- great service and delicious halibut and polenta“

“Ms.Orchid brought my salad out personally and graciously allowed my daughters to take a photo with her. She was beyond wonderful. The food came out and was hot and delicious. We loved the cornbread stuffing! Definitely recommend!“

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

“My daughter is very picky and said the alfredo was the best she ever had! My mushroom swiss burger was great! Prices are reasonable! 5 star 👌“

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

“It does have the feeling of Santa Fe“

“Had a great meal a Catch 22 on Thursday 2/15/24. Food was delicious and our server, Derick, was the best.“

“We go to Alfred's every year for our anniversary dinner - that's how much we think of them. Fantastic service, ambience, and food. *****“

“We always make sure to eat at the Sea Shack when visiting HHI—best grouper on the island! Got takeout last week, got home and realized we didn’t get our ordered desserts. Not a big deal, called for a refund. Instead, manager brought the key lime pies we ordered and added a banana pudding! Awesome customer service!“

“The portions are big, the food always hot, the flavors are always on point. My husband had the shrimp po boy. Lots of tasty shrimp on it. I had the muffalotta(sp) sandwich which was huge. You really can't go wrong stopping by this place. Highly recommend.“

“First time here and we'll definitely return. Great service and really good food. I had the BBQ chicken salad and it was awesome!!!!“

“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!“

“After countless times eating here… every single dish I have tried was absolutely top notch delicious. And the environment is warm and romantic. Highly recommend for a date night and family outing.“

“Recommend for a refreshing drink, a creative meal, and beautiful views of Hilton Head Island.“

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

“We visited Hilton Head/Bluffton/Beaufort area for a few days from New York City and had a list of places to go. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to all but we did stop by Red Stripes and babyyyy, we were glad we did!! The food was absolutely delicious and totally unexpected. Jamaican cuisine is not something every one can do, native or not, but the owner and the chefs at the Bluffton location exactly what they’re doing. The food, drinks, and service was impeccable. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend!“

“Incredible anniversary dinner for one vegan and one omnivore! The atmosphere was elevated and also very comfortable. Flavors and execution were incredible and we had a terrific experience. We plan to return!“

“Outstanding!“

“Thai Smile Cuisine for the win again!!! Absolutely delicious! Loveeeee that Thai Hot is truly hot… went with #6 Nick Hot tonight 🔥💪😬🤩 Crab Fried Ruce & Kra Prao (Not pictured - garden rolls with the best peanut sauce & Tom Yum soup 🤤)“

“Food was excellent. salad with pears,gorgonzola, walnuts lemon dressing,fried or sauteed calamari,pasta carbonara. Must try. Waiter was Antonio and made a birthday dinner 5 star.“

“It was mine and my husband’s first time eating here and it was delicious! We sat at the bar and Chris was on his stuff!!! He was friendly and made sure we were well taken care of.“

“Outstanding, fresh and quick!“

“Great service friendly staff we don’t have to wait long to get a table definitely recommend for breakfast“

“We've been coming here for 12years! And NEVER get tired!! Their food is excellent. My favorite is THE "PECAN STICKY BUNS". And I have to have "Southern Pecan" coffee to start my day! Susie and Karen always have smile on their faces and make me feel very welcome.
I'll sure to come back again next year!“

“Great atmosphere only to be enhanced by attentive staff. All of our entrees were cooked to perfection!“

“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!“

“Look the food is great. The wait staff is spread a little thin, but that seems to be everywhere right now. As such you wait a bit longer than you should both to be waited on and for delivery of drinks, checking on etc... But the location is unbeatable, they have live music and the food is great. My Mom had a burger and came back the next day for another. I almost always have the blackened Mahi sandwich, which is always good, but today I had the Jerk Chicken Mango salad. The dressing was bright, the greens were fresh and the salad was probably one of the best I have had in quite some time. Given that I have always thought of the place as a sandwich and beer kinda joint, that is really saying something. Will never hesitate to eat here... and beats the PANTS off the adjacent crazy crab!“

“Wow!!! Not only was the food was great, but the experience was one that made memories. All was made fresh before our eyes. I recommend the Philly Steak & my granddaughter was so l all over the home-fries. It not everyday a visitor finds many places like Harold's. Glad we did!“

“Our first time and we have lived in Bluffton six years! We will be back! Thank you for a wonderful evening celebrating a loved one's Birthday!“

“Gringo’s was atop the Yelp! reviews for top breakfast places and they didn’t disappoint! A small diner nestled in the end of a shopping center with some outdoor seating, they’re cooking within steps in front of you mostly on a flat top grill. Fresh coffee served in their own ceramic coffee mugs complimented our breakfast quesadilla, “the beach” breakfast, and three fluffy pancakes topped with Nutella, whipped cream, and powdered sugar hit the spot and started our morning right! Staff was friendly and service was quick! Thanks for the chow!“

“Always fresh and delicious! Great service too!! A true hidden gem on Hilton Head 😊“

“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!“

“The pizza was fresh, hot, and tasted awesome 👌. We also ordered the Stromboli Cheesecake, these were absolutely delicious!“

“Stopped in for a sampling of beers and a snack. We did a flight and had buffalo chicken dip and fritos walking taco. All the beers I tried were very good and so was the food. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We chose indoors at the bar since it was raining off and on. Great spot to hang out. Staff is friendly and all had a great attitude. Stop on in and give the beers and food try, you won't be disappointed.“

“Fresh seafood caught daily! She-crab soup, crab cake and fried shrimp was today’s late lunch. Everything was delicious. Great service too🤗“
