Don't ask me how but the pull it off. The sushi was fresh and the burger selection was outstanding. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was not overbearing with noise and activities. Try the French Onion Dip appetizer. Never seen a FO appetizer in a restaurant before so I gave it a try and the group loved it. Check this place out. It is reasonably priced.

I had the soup of the day (a crab and shrimp bisque) along with the fried green tomato BLT, and my husband ordered the grilled BBQ chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and a side of baked mac and cheese.

Cookie was our waitress, she was warm, attentive, and very informative, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Chow Daddy's - the name would suggest an old school barbeque joint or maybe a diner; but it is…read moreneither. 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.

Starting with the burger, I like when a smash burger is ACTUALLY a smash burger. They include cheese and pickles on it and it was just the perfect burger. I think it's pretty high on my burger rankings. Might even beat Heavy's! I feel like it's rare to get waffle fries unless you're going to Chick Fil A, so it was nice to have them with our burger. We got a bag to share and there was plenty. They were salted and seasoned to perfection and perfectly crispy. We sat outside where they have a full bar, a TV for sports, and they had live music.

It was clear as we sat down that this is where the locals eat We sat out on the patio and appreciated the 6 foot hedge to provide us some privacy and we started with their nachos. They dust their chips with a signature blend of spices that made them so good. My wife got the Saloon burger, my son got the buffalo chicken sandwich & fries, with the same dusting that was on the nachos, and I got the southwestern salad. None of us could finish our meals given the portions that are served. Tasha who took care of us, while training another, did a fantastic job and was so attentive and sweet. So glad we chose this place and will be back the next time we come to Hilton Head.

The quality is fantastic, fall of the bone ribs and the brisket just pulls apart. It is some of the most tender brisket I have ever had. The bbq sauce is well balanced. I didn't love the other sauces we tried and the fried chicken was average. Everything else was superb. We fed 6 and did not touch two of the sides containers. The restaurant itself looks like a fun hang out. The garage bar is a cool design and looks great for drinks. Special shout out to the servers who helped us out. We are from Los Angeles and when we ordered through our toast account, it updated the time to Pacific. Thankfully they fired it right when I arrived and got me the meal with 30 min. Greta restaurant and anyone in Hilton Head MUST try this spot.

We tried One Hot Mama's BBQ for takeout and overall had a really great experience…read more Two of us ordered the barbecue chicken salad, which comes in a taco shell bowl. The shell was actually the surprise standout -- fluffy, light, and crisp with great flavor. It's nothing like those typical taco salad shells that tend to be greasy or overly hard. This one tasted fresh and really elevated the whole salad. The brisket burnt ends chili was also excellent. It has a tomato-based chili flavor, so if that's your style of chili, this is definitely the one to order. It came with these cute little hard cornbread pieces that soften nicely once they sit in the chili. The chili also includes red kidney beans and had really great depth of flavor. My sister loved the barbecue ribs and french fries, which were a big hit. The smoked turkey was good as well, though it seemed to have a seasoning on it that was a little unexpected. I'm usually not a fan of mustard-based barbecue sauces, but this one was surprisingly tasty with a nice vinegary kick. The traditional barbecue sauce wasn't quite my favorite. Overall, a solid takeout experience. I'd definitely go back and try a few more things -- but the taco shell salad bowl and the chili were the clear standouts.
