Wall of decor
Edward A.

We arrived just before the rush which was dumb luck. After we ordered at the counter, there was a steady line of people to the door the entire time we were there. Biscuits are huge and tasty. My hot shot chicken biscuit topped with pimento cheese and local hot honey was good. I think it could've used a little more pimento cheese and honey. No way you're eating this without a fork and knife. If you're thinking of ordering to go and eating while driving, think again. Lots of random decor inside as you can see from a few pics I posted. This place is small inside, maybe seats 30 including the counter. They probably double that capacity with outside seating.

Cheddar biscuit sandwich

For a place that serves incredible biscuits, I really hate referring to them as bad biscuits. All my life I've been a croissant or bagel breakfast sandwich guy. If you know me, you know that I'm not from Jersey but my heart is. I'm not Italian, but my brain thinks so. Unfortunately for my fake roots, I think I'm a breakfast sandwich guy on biscuits because of places like this. I searched for a few in Hilton head before deciding to eat here. I even walked into a place that I won't name that had premade sandwiches. I had to walk out because I refuse to support such injustice. Then I found bad biscuit. This is the spot to come to for a breakfast sandwich in Hilton head. Don't waste your time with the other places that claim to be good. They use AI reviews.

Hot Shot Chicken 8.5/10
Michael P.

Bad biscuit will get many repeat visits for years to come. This is exactly what I want when I think southern biscuits. I ordered the hot shot chicken and the chicken itself was delicious, great flavor in the breading and it was not oily or over-fried. Simple, crisp and delicious. The biscuit was buttery, flakey, had a good mix of crunch and pillowy textures and it was massive. I thought the pimento cheese was extremely flavorful, I think it needed about triple the amount though given that my biscuit was so big. With that point, I'd say the hot shot chicken wasn't perfect- the biscuit is by nature, dry. However, we ordered some sausage gravy in the side and with that, it was perfect. I'd almost reccomend always ordering sausage gravy in the side if this is the level of pimento cheese this regularly comes with. We got that on the side because my wife got the renegade biscuit which had scrambled egg, sautéed spinach, bacon jam and smoked gouda. While really tasty, I also think her biscuit needed the gravy. I did try hers without it and the bits with enough moisture from the bacon jam, sautéed spinach and eggs were delicious. Smoky flavor from the gouda was a nice complex background note and the raisins mixed through the bacon jam were a surprising but pleasant touch. Overall I loved it, flavor was great. and I thought the value was top notch. Spent about $35 (including tip) if I recall on our 2 dishes with the sausage gravy on the side. Stop by, plan on a line unless you get there before 9am.

This place received great reviews so we tried it. We were greeted with an immediate sales pitch, friendly but a little forced. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating will eclectic wall decor We ordered the Hot Shot and another biscuit with chicken, egg and cheese. We ordered an OJ, coffee and sweet tea. The total was $46. The flavors were great, but excited better biscuits as they seemed tall, but very dry. Cute idea, execution could be a little improved.

I can't say anything about the actual food but the biscuits are delicious. We stayed nearby and stopped 3 days to get biscuits. They warmed them and wrapped them up for us with butter and jams. This will be part of the rotation every time we're back.

The savage skillet was amazing. I was so stuffed. Kinda pricey. The service was outstanding considering she was a one woman show. Definitely will be back!

BLT
Al H.

Fantastic BLT served on a massive biscuit. Be sure to look at the cool wall decor. Fast and friendly service.

I absolutely love this place! I came early morning for my birthday to grab a bite before sitting on the beach. Service was very good! The biscuit I got was awesome. It was a bigger biscuit than I was expecting! Plus I got one of their mimosas! 10/10 The ambiance was very nice and cozy! The different artifacts and decorative decor was very cool! I didn't get a picture of the cool alien by the register! Definitely will be back!

Hot Shot Chicken
Ashley B.

Small but welcoming biscuit shop near the beach. The biscuits were very good! We got the hot shot, the friend chicken and pimento cheese was delicious! My only complaint is the biscuit to filling ratio- the biscuits are ginormous and you get a small portion of the pimento cheese. It's so delicious, they should load you up with it! Otherwise, great breakfast, very filling.

This was our first time trying Bad Biscuit. To say the food is great would be an understatement. The biscuits, gravy, hash browns and donuts are out of this world good. The entire staff could not be any nicer and welcoming.

A Lowcountry Backyard - SHRIMP AND GRITS

Lowcountry Backyard was one of those places that feels like it's been there forever in the best…read morepossible way. Quirky, unpolished, a little tucked away, and absolutely full of character. It doesn't feel corporate or manufactured at all. More like you've stumbled into somebody's lovingly chaotic backyard dinner party where the food just happens to be genuinely top-tier. The mismatched charm, handwritten feel, and warm atmosphere are part of what makes it so special. There's this brilliant contrast between the laid-back hole-in-the-wall vibe and the seriously refined cooking coming out of the kitchen. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were incredibly tender, fried perfectly, and drizzled with a lovely house-made ranch. The sweet house pickles alongside were such a good touch. We also each had a cup of she crab soup which was beautifully seasoned and packed with tonnes of crab morsels. For mains, we shared the shrimp and grits and completely understood why the recipe has won awards, including being recognised as the 3rd best in the world. The recipe is rooted in traditional Lowcountry cooking but elevated with layers of flavour that somehow still feel comforting and homemade. The grits were unbelievably creamy, and the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked with fantastic flavour throughout. We also split the seafood purloo with blackened grouper, and it was equally impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh without trying too hard to be fancy. What really made the experience though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond. They took time to chat with us about the area, paced the courses perfectly so nothing felt rushed, and by the end we were leaving with handshakes feeling more like guests than customers. Places like this are getting harder to find. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lowcountry food served by genuinely wonderful people.

Disappointing. The reviews were stellar, the food was not. The derive was good, but that's kind of…read morewhere it ended. Except for the fried green tomatoes- those were very good, dipped in blue cheese dressing (ranch was bad, tasted like plain mayonnaise with a parsley sprinkle) The pimento cheese appetizer was so disappointing! Tasted like cream cheese mixed with packaged shredded cheddar and 3 small pieces of raw red pepper; served with stale corn chips and uninspired pita. Was so looking forward to good homemade pimento cheese in the south! The grouper sandwich was sad, my friend only ate the fish and left the bun and tomatoes on the plate. The mac and cheese was even sadder, described as baked mac and cheese it was more like old leftovers, cold, separated noodles that were really dry. The shrimp blt salad- the aforementioned fried green tomatoes were the best part. The bacon was cold and floppy and kind of unchewable. It was served on wilted arugula. I'm so confused by all the rave reviews! Maybe this was a one off.

Have wanted to try this place out for a while and decided today was it. Arrived after 'lunch hour'…read moreand the place was quiet. The outside looks to be going through some renovation, but the interior looks like it's almost done. Open space, nice and fresh. You place your order at the counter (2 menus- one for dine in, one for take away) and they bring it to your table. We both ordered the chicken sandwich, one Nashville, one regular and made meals of it with tater tots and chips. We both had tea, though they had Coke products as well. The chicken was very freshly fried and delicious. Great taste. Both the tots and chips were also nice and crispy, plus piping hot. Couldn't ask for nicer or quicker service. We chatted with the owner/chef on our way out- couldn't have been nicer. Highly recommend and we'll be back to try other menu items (chicken dinners, shrimp and grits etc.). Plenty of 'southern' representation on the menu to choose from without being too greasy or over-the-top. This felt like home cooking in a trend forward atmosphere. Don't let the exterior discourage you from trying- you'll be glad you did.

Just had one of those "how is this place not packed every night?" experiences at Annie O's…read moreKitchen... and wow, I'm still thinking about it. Debbie and I stopped in about an hour before closing, not expecting much--just a quick bite. What we got instead was hands down one of the best seafood meals I've had in a long time. First off, we met the owner, Jim Scully--absolute legend. Friendly, genuine, and actually takes the time to sit and chat. You just don't see that anymore. Great conversation, great energy... set the tone right away. Now let's talk FOOD... * Fried oysters & shrimp - ridiculously good. Light, crispy, not greasy at all. You can tell everything is top quality. * Coleslaw - vinegar-based, shredded, and honestly reminded me of proper German kraut salad. Perfect balance with the seafood. * Soft shell crab... alright, this is where things got serious. "It was like a circus in my mouth... just an explosion of flavors." I'm not exaggerating. The texture was creamy, not oily, and the batter was just perfect. One of those bites where you just stop and look at each other like... yep, this is special. On top of that: * Everything is made with high-quality ingredients * Prices are very reasonable for what you're getting (honestly, some places charge double for worse) * BYOB (bring your own wine/beer = big win ) * Huge menu--seafood, ribs, BBQ, pulled pork, chicken, desserts... you name it Final verdict: (three thumbs up from Debbie & me) If you're in Hilton Head and even thinking about seafood--this is a hidden gem you don't want to miss. We'll 100% be back.

Waited forever for waiter to come by and when he did he was not friendly and complaining about how long his day was (his name was Tweedy?). He got drink order wrong and was mostly absent during the entire meal. We asked the hostess if we could move booths to a larger booth due to a few in our party being larger people. There were two larger booths open (one was seated with four people). She told us that the larger booths were only for tables of 6 or more. I showed her that there were four people at one and she said that they were an early seating vit we couldn't move. The thing is this... the four top was seated AFTER we were seated. Other two tables sat empty until the last few minutes of our dinner. The food wasn't anything special either. One dish was bland. Another not cooked well. Crabcakes were delicious but 1/4 isn't all that good when you're paying that much. Anyways, we used to LOVE this play. Always had good service, good food and took care of customers. Something has changed in the last year. Nectar used to a "must eat" on our trips. Not any more.

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.

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.
