Stopped in for a quick lunch. The place isn't much to look at - not fancy at all. It has a decent variety of food options. The food was decent, but not really anything to write home about - pretty standard tavern food. I could take it or leave it.

Ruben heaven!
Suzanne H.

Open face Ruben Mini is the bomb!! The beef is made on sight, its just so good! Wow! Do not pass up the chance to have this! We've been here twice. Great staff (Josh) and awesome later night happy hour specials. Kitchen closes at 10 pm... be aware if you're hungry. Great music, sit at the bar or play some pool.

Killer Ruben....!
Tedd W.

Unfriendly bartender who clearly dislikes her job. Creates a environment where you want to have one beer and exit.

British Open Pub - Side Salad

British Open Pub

We have dined here for 25 years…read more Arguably the most British dining on HHI. My dear wife simply will Not prepare liver and onions; nor will she scramble squirrel brains with eggs. British Open Pub does not prepare squirrel, but they do great with liver and onions - the bacon is the secret. Travel tip: Elect a patio table for neat views and quiet. Our excellent server Jennifer continues the tradition of great service at BOP. BOP was one of first Sports Bar on the island. Small property is divided between bar and restaurant, but we recommend patio dining. Perhaps it has been some time since the owners experienced actual British dining.... Missing is the ever present chicken dinner; also we cannot recommend their version of French Onion soup (we recommend a visit to Chez George.)

This review is for British Pub on HHI…read more POSITIVES: 1) The second delivery of the pot pie (after it was sent back) was excellent in taste, but see below. 2) The water was wet. NEGATIVES: 1) The wait for service after being seated was too long. 2) The server ghosted us after the meal was delivered. 3) The ribs were tough, and not up to the quality we consistently receive at the Bluffton location. 4) The sides were served haphazardly on the plate with one overlapping the other. 5) The pot pie's crust was badly overdone / burnt. The second delivery of the pot pie appeared to be the pot pie I sent back with the upper crust removed and a new one plopped on top. So, when I tried to remove the spoon that was stuck through the crust the entire thing came off the pie. 6) As we were nearing the completion of our meal we received multiple visits from the reception hostess and kitchen staff trying to remove plates from the table before we were finished. Again on the positive side, however, the waitress was very nice to us when it came time to pay the check.

Earle of Sandwich Pub - Rueben and homemade chips

The outside server is just indescribable, as well as her attitude, and not in a good way. Every…read morequestion was a burden. I inquired about the Fish & Chips and she was honest, stating that is purchased as previously battered and frozen. I skipped the Fish & Chips and ordered the hamburger described as "Custom Blended Beef" and the Chips as the side selection. I would rate the Hamburger at a solid 5 out of 10 and the Chips at 8. My fiancee ordered the Ruben with French Fries. She rated her sandwich as just okay stating the sauerkraut was just bland. I tried the sauerkraut and she was correct, as always, it was just bland. On a side note, a family a eleven came into the outside dining area. The server pulled two square tables together to seat six and pointed to a side round table to seat five. As the server went inside the family had a discussion and pulled the two square tables and two round tables together so they could all sit as a group. The server reemerged and was not amused. The family stated that the barmaid inside said that they could all sit together. The server said that the barmaid does not work outside and that she may need that round for other people and started to pull the tables apart. They ended up leaving.

We loved our visit! The restaurant has a pub feel with dark wood decor and stained glass hanging…read morelamps over the tables. My husband had the special... a pulled pork sandwich with shoestring fries and I had the Earl Sandwich with macaroni salad. Let me tell you, the macaroni salad was awesome:.. and the sandwiches were delicious. We will definitely be making this a regular stop when we come to Hilton Head every year. Oh... I forgot to mention the music. They played classic rock at the perfect volume. All in all, we really liked it and will for sure be back.
