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.

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.

As far as the food, everything was really fresh. We had the lobster roll - very good, the caprese - very classic and fresh, and the ahi tuna sandwich - good quality but a little bit hard to eat as it was just one large chunk of tuna on a bun. I think we were expecting it to be sliced or maybe a bit easier to consume. So quality was good but not really what we expected. Also as a note they don't have French Fries, only chips - but the chips were yummy!!! We'd definitely go back and give it a try for dinner, lunch not quite a home run.

Service was good, you order at the counter and then they bring your food out to the table that you choose yourself. The whole restaurant is covered in Mardi Gras and UGA decorations including a dog house. Crawfish parade - 5/5, the crawfish etoufee was delicious, I didn't eat the rice because there was as so much food, but the little pie was good. The corn on the cob was tasty. Crawfish bisque was yummy, all the crawfish was so good! Chicken tenders - a little dark, so the kids didn't really like them - 2/5 Kid's shrimp - 4/5, my 11yo thought the fries were not crispy enough. They were more like steak fries Kid's grilled cheese - 4/5, my 9yo liked her grilled cheese Key Lime Pie - we would not order this again here. It was too sweet for us and the consistency of jello Beignets - too thick and not fluffy, they were not great, we would not order these again. Stick with the crawfish parade.

This location is a block away from the heart of Coligny. Every morning after our beach walk, we'd head her for a coffee. We got there early enough where there was never really a line. We wound up always ordering an iced sand dollar latte with almond milk and light whip. I'd also order a hot sand dollar for my husband. The staff was pretty friendly. I will say, when there was a line, one barista didn't seem like nearly enough. The line would get pretty long and took longer to get your coffee. I love the Sand Dollar latte. It's a combo between honey and cinnamon. We'll be back!

First, the staff is so kind, quick, and happy to explain anything to meet your needs. For the food - some people describe it as a better chipotle, but I disagree. Java Burritos are their own thing and much better. The portions much larger, the quality of food much better, and the flavor is excellent. We got the Java special protein, which is a mix of queso sauce, sour cream, steak, and chicken, and it was amazing. The toppings also were fresh and the options were plentiful. For the coffee - we went with the iced crème brûlée lattes, it was excellent as well. It was the first latte I have had in a while that hit the perfect balance of not being too sweet while not being bitter. Very smooth!

The taco shells were really crispy, which I appreciated, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The service was quick, making it a great option if you're looking for a fast and casual meal.

Overall, it was a fun spot with a convenient setup and tasty food. I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm back in Hilton Head!
