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.

Server was more interested in rolling silverware so she could leave than taking care of the guests. Waited much to long to place our initial order. Both drinks ran dry, had to call over the hostess to track down our server to help us. Oysters were not good. No flavor and full of grit. Fries came out in a giant greasy lump, not crispy like batter coated frys should be. Shrimp cocktail was decent. Grouper sandwich was like a McDonald's level experience. Fried shrimp platter was so greasy that we picked the breading off before eating them. We were starving so we picked our way through. Left food in our plates as it was not worth finishing.

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.

The place has been around forever and after eating here I can see why. Old inside but still clean...The food was absolutely amazing. Very simple sandwiches and full bar.

Give them a try and support and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

One Hot Mama's was SO good! We had such a great experience!…read more For an appetizer, we got the J. Daniels wings, Strawberry Jalapeño wings, and the Jalapeño Honey Cornbread. Everything was delicious! The wings are smoked, which gives them such a good flavor, and both sauces were amazing. The cornbread was soft, moist, and full of flavor. So good! My husband had the Texas Philly with grilled chicken and mac & cheese. The chicken was tender and juicy, and that mac & cheese had some kind of Parmesan crust on top that made it even better. I had the BBQ with coleslaw and dirty rice. The BBQ and dirty rice were delicious and had a lot of flavor. The coleslaw was just okay for me, though. I probably wouldn't order it again. And I HAVE to talk about the Margarita Flight! It was AMAZING! The drinks were bigger than the average margarita flight, and every flavor tasted soooo good. Definitely worth ordering! We sat outside, and they had music playing and fans to keep the area comfortable. It was such a nice atmosphere, and the food and drinks made it even better. Overall, great food, amazing drinks, a nice atmosphere, and a really enjoyable experience! We would definitely come back!

Surprisingly roomy with two separate dining rooms and a third with a bar and more tables. Service was quick, but a little too quick. Our appetizer, salads and entrees all arrived at the same time crowding our little table. We ordered onion rings to start. Let me tell you: these were the best I've ever had. Positively delicious. But no sauce!!! So I made my own with ketchup and hot sauces. Chicken picata was good. Chicken a Parmesan and crab stuffed grouper were also ok. Salmon was decent. There was a huge selection of sandwiches and some yummy desserts. We all had a good meal. A little pricey for what got. But I still recommend.
