    Poke bowl + spam musubi
    Lucas W.

    The poke bowl is massive. It was so full of fish and toppings. I should've turned it into two meals but instead ate the whole thing and was uncomfortably full, very much my own fault. The toppings were all delicious but I especially liked both the sweet and spicy sauces that were heavily applied. The spam musubi was just ok as it felt like a LOT of rice to me. But I will definitely get another poke bowl when I am next in Hilton Head.

    Açaí bowl

    Love the Hawaiian theme with fresh smoothies and bowls. I made my own bowl with Açaí, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, granola and honey. I wish there was more smoothie in the bowl. It was heavy in the toppings and light on the smoothie.

    Açaí bowl.

    Build your own açaí or poke bowl, or choose one from the menu. I had the Palmalu with açaí sorbet, large, sweet blueberries, strawberries, bananas, macadamia nuts apples, local honey, organic granola. I chose to add organic cocoa nibs for an additional dollar. Fresh, sweet enough, but not overpowering. It came out in about 5 minutes. For a sweet, semi healthy, treat, this place is a winner.

    OK, it's not gonna be a gourmet sit down white tablecloth place but for a fun beach town you got fresh fruit goods you got desserts you got different hot foods grilled to order you have cookie bowls and ice cream even lots of different drink and smoothie options if you're looking for a break clean bathroom those type of things is a pretty good option. I also have even T-shirts and a TV with fun stuff running on the backvery nice atmosphere with surfboards and concert posters and fun music like reggae and such check it out.

    Salmon Poke Bowl - 3/4 servings of salmon + edamame + cucumber + avocado + ginger + mixed greens (no sauce)

    Terrific across the board. My husband said his poke bowl was the BEST he has ever had and if Al's Aloha Kitchen was in the town we lived in, he'd eat there every single day. This is a HUGE beyond HUGE compliment because my husband legit likes NOTHING. I too loved my poke bowl. The salmon paired with the avocado and ginger = perfection! No complaints! Would absolutely eat here an again, maybe even every day with my husband if we lived closer! Also must note that the service was 10/10 no notes! So friendly and accommodating!

    Açaí bowl, poke bowl & crab salad

    Came here after I went biking and wow, it's so good and refreshing! I got a build your owl açaí bowl, Haleiwa poke bowl and the crab salad and everything tasted amazing and great quality. The vibe inside is really nice and clean. Definitely would come again.

    Poke bowls- 10/10 Açaí bowls- 7/10 Came back after a great experience first time around. Still enjoyed our time but poke bowls are definitely the way to go here. Açaí bowls were tasty but compared to other places we've been the variety of topping offerings was a bit limited. Our actual açaí base was pretty frozen and hard to dig in to. Flavor was great and the service was as friendly as ever. We also enjoyed the (covered) outdoor seating for a break from the sun. Will definitely be back for poke bowls in the future.

    Açaí bowl. A sad one.
    Mark M.

    Came here for both a poke bowl and an açaí bowl. My poke bowl was pretty good and good quality. Their tuna is a homemade recipe that is not very spicy at all but still good. I had the Pipeline and was overall satisfied but they might be pricing just a bit over what's fair. The açaí bowl I had unfortunately was a disappointment as it was mostly toppings. Building your own is limited to 2 toppings and 2 fruit choices, but the most important part, the açaí, was most disappointing as there was not much served in it. My bowl was ¾ toppings even with the limitations.

    Açaí bowl is outta this world

    Poke on HHI?! Just another reason why HHI is my favorite of islands. We arrived just in time to miss the line forming straight out the door. This place is happening! The poke was yummy and hit the spot. A must visit place for the poke lover in your life!

    Arielle S.

    We weren't impressed - the fish wasn't super fresh and portions are tiny for the price. Maybe I'm just spoiled with poke options back home, but I doubt we'll be going back. Definitely better options nearby.

    We ordered the special. 8 fried shrimp with hush puppies and fries. This was our first time and…read moreit won't be our last. The team made our food quickly.

    I've driven past Slap Fish on my trips to HHI for the past decade--was never sure if it was "fast…read morefood" or beach seafood shack or what...and while locals either love or hate the place, I was encouraged to give it a chance and it would surprise me. I visited during the last week of February, so definitely "pre-season" and there was no wait (or many patrons) at 6:00 pm. I must confess that I am a New Englander, so we take our seafood pretty seriously; I'm not daft enough to order lobster in SC, when it should be coming from Maine, so I passed over those options, but I was curious to try the "New England Clam Chowder". We also ordered the fried pickles w/ Jersey sauce, an order of the special Jax shrimp (akin to bang bang shrimp), 2 fish sandwiches, a shrimp burrito, and I had an ultimate taco. You order at the counter, grab your utensils and condiments off to the side, along with fountain drinks & iced tea. They sell draft beer, a limited variety of bottled beer, some Truly-type seltzer cans, but I had to have a Mexican Coke, even though it set me back $4.50. Sit in the dining area and the food is delivered to your table. First off: the NE clam chowder was hot and filling, but it was more like a loaded baked potato soup--too viscous (not dairy based), some clam flavor, but too much bacon. I spied some clams, and there was a spicy finish; truthfully, I could not finish it but folks unaware of how it should be wouldn't bat an eye. The fried pickles were large spears in a light, tempura-like batter; the group agreed we'd have liked them cut into smaller bites to make them easier to manage. But tasty. The fish sandwiches were piled high with fresh cod filets, lightly breaded and sitting atop a brioche bun piled with lettuce & tomato, served with seasoned fries (paprika-forward). We got a side of the homemade coleslaw, and everyone agreed it was fresh and delicious. The shrimp burrito took a bit of time to come out after all the other dishes, but it was large and half was taken home to finish later. My ultimate taco was fabulous! It arrived garnished like some sort of fancy-pants entree at a high-end restaurant--a huge surprise and very filling. It lived up to its description requiring two hands to hold it. My favorite of the night was actually the special Jax shrimp, which we added on a whim--shrimp was perfectly breaded & fried, all very plump & juicy. I'd have eaten another order of them if I'd had the room. I believe Slap Fish is worth a visit--perhaps several visits. If you discount the New England clam chowder (get a native in the back to show the cook how to make it!), every piece of fish was fresh and delicious. Again, I'm not sure how Slap Fish measures up in the height of the summer season, but I was pleasantly enlightened on my first visit.

Hilton Head Island has seen some changes in food offerings in the last decade, but fresh and new American fusion isn't common. Enter Chow Daddy's. With two locations (the other in Bluffton) we hit this one on Hilton Head. It's a risky place to put a restaurant, buried in the back plaza of a nondescript but high-end shopping center deeeep in the wooded neighborhoods of the island's Southern tip. If you're staying elsewhere on the island, you'll find you have to pay a small fee to access Sea Pines but many people do to get to the Salty Dog Cafe as well. While it may not get a lot of visibility, it is definitely worth seeking out for the very good Latin American cuisine being offered. Out party of five arrived on an August Friday evening after making reservations and were impressed with the cleanliness and upscale minimalist vibe. Dark booths and Edison-style lighting are offset by the daylight let in by picture windows. There is outside seating in the patio (very pleasant in the shade) and a small bar open off the host area. Inside seating is large enough for bigger parties of 6-8. Definitely not a post-beach day place, but perfect for date night, or more dressy family dinner out. Service was quick and talkative; we enjoy chatting beyond food with out severs which makes the experience even better. Apps and mains were delivered quickly with good presentation. We started with the fine fresh corn dip - extra tortillas were helpful to get the last bits. Mains included a fresh and well pattied cheesburger, mix-n-match tacos and two specialty bowls - cajun shrimp with spicy fine fat prawns and an Ahi-tuna poke style bowl. The rice in both was excellent and the portions were perfect. I'll try to un-hide this hidden star with this review and encourage you to seek it out if you live on "HHi" or make your next visit. Rare 5 star from us.

    Maaaaan, I came here YEARS ago (try almost 11, if my photo on FB is to be believed) before I was…read moreYelping regularly, but I saw this restaurant pop up on a Yelp list I was reading the other day and it unlocked the deeply-buried memory of my visit here and I thought...might as well chronicle that memory with a quick review! I came here with a bunch of friends from my undergraduate research lab while we were in Hilton Head presenting at a conference. We had rented a condo to all stay together and this place was in walking distance, so we headed over. I don't remember what all everyone else got to eat, or much about the service, but I do remember it was a total vibe. Beachy decorations that were fun but still classy and not too kitschy, warm lighting, good music. I ordered an item probably not even on their menu anymore: pulled barbeque chicken on a hunk of spicy cornbread with a side salad. I checked online and it's nowhere to be found, but it slapped at the time, and from pictures it seems like you can still maybe order their spicy cornbread at least, which was the best part! It had a great cakey texture and some legit heat. The chicken was succulent and tender and the smokiness paired well with the salad. It seems Chow Daddy's enjoyed a decade of success after my visit so long ago. I hope the temporary closure listed on the Yelp page doesn't turn into a permanent one. It was a pleasant surprise to be reminded of this visit and my time with friends.

But being from New Orleans, I also know a lot about restaurants and flash fryers used in kitchens, to quickly prepare fried seafood dishes to chicken , throughout the country. So let me begin my review of Hudson seafood house on the dock. My first impression is that this is a local place that has been around a long time and you can actually see and somewhat feel the age of this establishment. It is very popular and Hilton head a great deal of tourist come through their golfers, etc.. The staff is very young teenagers working a summer job who hasn't done that to their 20s and 30s. Shout out to the bartender and to the blind headed waitress who recommended my drink and food choices. You guys are Primo in my book. If you're planning on eating there outside is gorgeous view of the water but it's also very crowded around certain times. Call ahead to reserve tables, especially if you're coming with a large group. This place is great for kids, young kids and adults and if you're an old head like myself, the bar is a place to be. Enjoy a good draft or something on tap.
