    Ma Daisy's Porch outdoor areas.
    Kayla P.

    Sunday 10/12 - Love the atmosphere. Ma Daisy's Porch is a beautiful location with lots of outdoor seating. Chef B's has a lounge like setting with beautiful decor. The music in the back ground gives elevated Juke joint. They have gorgeous painting for sale (we say by a beauty on the second floor that was $500) I ordered "fush and grits" (fish and grits) and my first issue, though this may be silly to some, was that the waiter made a point to say right after me, "fish and grits." Not sure why he couldn't go with the theme of the restaurant he works for's menu. It's "fush." My food was plentiful. The whiting was cooked nicely but could have used more seasoning. The shrimp butter that goes over the top had flavor in spades so maybe they were trying to balance it out. The creamy grits were good. Not too thin and not too thick. My guy ordered a sweet potato pancake, eggs, and grits. The server (not the waiter) brought out our meals and what came out was a regular waffle. Not even sweet potato. When we asked about this, which took awhile because our waiter did not come back for some time even when he was with a nearby table, he let us know they don't serve pancakes. Now I KNOW my guy ordered a pancake so it should have been mentioned directly then. Additionally, the waffle that came out was still wrong - not sweet potato. The waiter seemed more in the range of neutral to annoyed than happy to fix the issue. There was no apology at all until he brought the sweet potato waffle to the table. My guy said the waffle felt doughy, as if it could have stood a bit longer on the griddle. When it was time to pay he didn't bring a receipt, just showed me the order on his device which I didn't love. I paid, however, and hit print receipt. He had to go get the receipt so now I wonder if it was just that his machine was out of paper and he didn't feel like getting more from downstairs? Unsure, since this was our first (only?) visit if that is the normal process.

    So excited to finally try and I arrived for breakfast on a Sunday. I ordered fish and grits with egg whites and enjoyed the great music and art. They have upstairs, downstairs and porch dining. The food was cooked perfectly and I returned for dinner on the porch which was a little disappointing as they had run out of some menu items so I ended up just getting wings and crab soup. The wings were great but the soup looked off and a few servers noticed it and apologized and took it back. I returned a few days later for lunch on the porch and it was the best of all with fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans, cornbread with sweet potato butter and it was delicious.....but be aware that being on the porch can be an issue as I had to end up inside when the bee's wouldn't go away.

    The restaurant grounds are amazing. There's a bakery, historically building, the restaurant and plenty of outside activities to do. Parking was a sort of an adventure. It's a gravel parking lot that was uneven in many places. We were greeted warmly when we arrived. We had a short wait (15 minutes) before we were escorted upstairs to our table. There's no elevator so this may be an issue for those who don't walk well. Our waitress was kind and friendly. Our food was ok. Staff, while nice, seemed lsot at times (took our food to the wrong table, never brought me my drink). I had oxtails and grits. It was good, I'd likely order it again if I returned. We had two main issues. My daughter's meal came about 5 minutes after everyone else's. This isn't a long time on theory but when you're sitting at a table of 6 and there's 5 meals and one missing it seems like an eternity. Second, it took 3 times to make an acceptable waffles for my mother. The first 2 were much too soft and almost soggy. They got it right in the third try but at this time everyone else has just about finished eating. All in all the experience was just so/so. We were vacationing on Hilton Head Island and made a special trip to visit this restaurant, I'm not sure I'd make a special trip again.

    Fabulous new restaurant and bar on May River Road! Bartender expertly crafted 4 cocktails. Beautiful decor and spotlessly clean. Sit out in the shaded porch or dine inside...either will impress!

    If you're looking for a restaurant that feeds your soul as much as your stomach, this is it! The decor is beautiful--warm, vibrant, and full of Gullah cultural pride. That mural downstairs and all of the artwork is amazingly gorgeous. The staff is incredibly welcoming. The live music is beautiful and makes for a good time. The food? Unreal. Chicken and waffles were fluffy and the chicken perfectly seasoned; the fried flounder was crispy and flavorful; and the rice perlo, candied yams, macaroni and cheese, and green beans tasted like they came straight from grandma's kitchen. Ma Daisy is proud I'm sure. Don't skip the sweet carrot cake--trust me. More than a meal, it's a cultural experience. Can't wait to come back! If this is the "soft opening", I know the grand opening will be perfect!

    Beautiful place but the food was lousy. Inattentive staff. Drinks expensive and very slow service. Will not go back.
