    Seemed to be a local spot and it was pretty busy. The food was good and the server was great! We ordered a few drink and appetizers. The quesadillas, fried pickles and baked potato.

    Chicken Pot Pie.

    They need a more mature hostess: young guy gave us two place settings when we said there will be three of us. Then when we asked for a booth because we were expecting an elderly guest which we explained he said no despite two booths being empty and sat us under a TV screen in a half booth. We asked again when she arrived and scored a full booth at last when another couple left. Food made up for it as I loved my Chicken Pot Pie!

    Stopped in for a bite after getting off the plane on our way into HH. There were lots of great options on the menu and service was friendly. The prices were very reasonable too and they got our large party of 9 seated with no issues in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday. I got the strawberry salad with grouper. It came out with 2 HUGE pieces of grouper. Everything was delicious and fresh. And it was roughly only $16. Would highly recommend this restaurant and it's right next to an ice cream shop when you're ready for dessert!

    Excellent Grouper, Chicken Piccata andChickenSalad. Packed bar/restaurant. Good service and a lot for the price. Very little to choose from in the area. Overall enjoyable. Try it when in the area.

    Don't go swimming here!

    This is a fantastic little restaurant and watering hole in the Sun City area. The service is friendly and the food is excellent. The inside seating is nice and they have an outdoor deck overlooking a pond with a bar and sometimes they have live music. My fish and chips plate (made with fresh grouper) is the best fish and chips I've had in years - hot, crispy, and flaky. And the three fillets were huge! My mom had the shrimp and chips and the shrimp were big, plump, and very crispy. I had a pint of the Okatie Ale, which is a nice light, crisp and refreshing golden ale. If you're in the area, I highly recommend a visit and you'll see why all the locals love it.

    Blackened Grouper Wrap w/French Fries

    Had an Above average experience, I got the blackened Grouper Wrap and can tell the fish was not as fresh compared to the other restaurants in bluffton/HHI. The fries I ordered were 10/10 though so it must've been the fish that made my experience above average at best. Regardless, I had decent service as my server was quick, straight forward and helpful when needed. Overall, great place to eat at when in a pinch but would not go out of my way to go here.

    What an Old Fashion should look like

    Drink review only We walked over from the Hampton Inn to have a couple of drinks. We wanted to get a couple of beers from the draft beer selection. They had 12 or 14 draft beers listed on the menu. The selections were pretty basic, but the menu included an " IPA of the Month". I asked what the IPA of the Month was and our waitress rattled off two beers that were on the menu already. There was no IPA of the Month. I wasn't interested in the beers, so I ordered a Bulleit Old Fashion. My wife ordered the Okatie Ale ( I believe this beer is brewed just for this bar). The Old Fashion It was obvious that the bartenders don't know how to make an Old Fashion . It was a muddled mess. The drink was hazy instead of a clear bourbon color. Instead of using an orange peel as the garnish and adding a cherry at the end, the bartender muddled an orange slice and muddled the cherry. Who muddles a cherry? I don't know what else was added to this drink, but it was a muddled, hazy, bitter mess. (See pic) I added the correct Old Fashion recipe and pic at the end of my review for the bar staffs future reference Okatie Ale The Okatie Ale is a blonde ale. It's pretty much a flavorless under carbonated yellow water. It has an Untppd rating of 2.9/5. How is this your house beer with such a low rating. (See pic of Untpp'd rating) Damn Yankee This was my wife's second beer. This is a solid IPA. Service Our waitress was disinterested at best. It took about ten minutes to get service in a 1/2 full bar. She didn't didn't start paying attention until it was time to collect our bill Bar Staff At one point, both bar tenders were eating food in a booth and a server had to make a drink for one of his tables This place is screaming for a " Bar Rescue" Bar Staff read recipe below You're welcome STEP 1: MIX INGREDIENTS AND DISSOLVE SUGARS Dissolve or muddle sugar with bitters and a splash of Maker's in an Old Fashioned glass. STEP 2: ADD THE ICE Fill glass 3/4 full of ice. STEP 3: MIX WITH MAKER'S MARK Add Maker's Mark and stir. STEP 4: AROMATIZE WITH CITRUS Express orange peel over your glass to release citrus oils.

    Tacos

    Pretty decent food. Had fish tacos. Really generous fish portions. Server was nice and present. Nice patio. Dog friendly.

    ***WARNING*** DO NOT DINE IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE NICKLED AND…read moreDIME On 30 January 2026, I dined-in as a first-time patron at this establishment. I ordered Scarlet Knight, Fried Mushrooms and French Dip, which overall was good. The problem occurred when I reviewed my invoice and I notice a "Convenience Fee Convenience" of $1.30 unbeknownst me. I informed the waitress that I paying with a debit card versus a credit card so the charge should me removed. The waitress informed the manager in the back and he stated, "that's how we've done and we can't remove the fee. I educated the waitress/manager by law, it's illegal to (1) charge a patron the fee that are using a debit card, (2) the service fee was NOT disclosed or brief to me prior to service and (3) the restaurant doesn't have any signs or language indicating that all patrons will be charged a "convenience fee". The manager was very dismissive and "matter of factly" towards my grievance. This grievance is not solely for me but to protect and advocate for ALL patrons that opt to dine at the establishment. SOLUTION: 1. Create a sign regarding a, "Auto Convenience Fee Charge for ALL Credit Cards" 2. Place a label on ALL menus so patron understand the hidden charge prior to service being render. In turn, the patron have the option to proceed, leave the establish or visit the nearest ATM for cash. 3. Brief all employees to provide a disclaimer to all patrons so their options or rights are taken away. I will be reporting the company to BBB for illegal business practice for forcing patrons to pay a fee that are not required for debit cardholders link: www.verabank.com Search: Convenience Fee
