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.

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.

There was a 20 minute wait for a table inside when our party of 6 entered the building, so we went…read moreupstairs for a drink while we waited. The upstairs bartender was friendly and he made me a very good extra dirty vodka martini. Before I knew it, our table was ready! We ended up getting seated after a 10 minute wait. We all sat down and as we looked at the menu, we all realized there were many delicious different options to choose from. We started with some raw oysters, the cajun broiled oysters and a basket or two of hush puppies. All of which were so good, I wasn't able to get a picture before we ate it all. The cajun broiled oysters were my favorite!! Then, our server took our entree orders with a smile and made sure to keep our drinks filled as we waited. I ordered the Redfish Special and it was a very big portion. I barely finished my meal and my friend who ordered the same thing ended up taking half of it home. I was expecting the lemon cream sauce to be on top of the fish but I believe it was mixed into the lump crab. It was so delicious, I could have been satisfied with just the fresh lump crab. My sons ate everything off their plates and my husband loved his Trio of shrimp, cod and scallops. This whole place has a great vibe to it.

Our server was Avery who was great at handling 6 old guys. One of my buddies asked for Swiss cheese on his melt and was told they didn't have any. Then Avery said "I might be lying" suggesting she didn't really know since she works mostly at the other Capt Woody's location on HHI. Mine came with American cheese and was delicious. I would have ordered it with Swiss as well if I knew they had it (which they did). The place was quite busy. For ambiance, we saw 2 delivery trucks which provided some loud background noise and blocked our view of downtown Bluffton. Other than that, it was great!!

At peak tourist times and dining times (summer, holidays, etc), often a 1.5 hour wait. Non peak season, you can usually get seated right away!

New--they now have a separate ice cream shop! You can watch the forklift/boatlift haul boats in and out...kinda fun. They also have a gift shop. 5 stars!

It came with crinkle fries, cole slaw, and hush puppies. Cole slaw was perfect. Fries reminded me of a school cafeteria, but the seafood was the best we've had on the island in several years coming to HHI. Hubby got the catfish. (My dinner was better:) I also got a bowl of their seafood chowder. It was excellent ! View is beautiful. Seats inside are a bit uncomfortable and wicker-like. There are so many tall chairs in the bar area for seating, the only comfortable seating for folks that don't want to get up on a chair like you're riding a horse, I would recommend either one of the very few booths they have inside or the outdoor seating. They had live music that night. Our server was very nice and checked on us often. The manager also checked on us, which is also a good practice. I also told him how much we were enjoying our meal.

The brussels sprouts were fantastic, well cooked with a great Parmesan sauce- even the little kids fought over that plate. Calamari was too chewy for my taste. The baked oysters were well liked by those that eat oysters~ I'm not one of them. Fried seafood platter was excellent. And crab cakes got rave reviews. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The green goddess salad could've used more dressing but otherwise was presented beautifully and was very yummy. Hiccups included a wedge salad ordered with balsamic instead of blue cheese came smothered in blue cheese, and a kids filet that was ordered medium and came out way too rare. Service hiccup was trying to tell us it was the lighting and not actually undercooked, but no, it was red and uncuttable. Salad was replaced and meat was re-fired so everything was fine. All in all would recommend, and definitely come back.
