Wow what great bbq for a great price. The family meal can easily feed 8 if you add the rack of ribs…read morefor a total of $130. 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.

We ordered the Train Wreck platter with chicken and beef brisket, both were tender, flavorful, and honestly a 10/10.

If you're a fan of great barbecue, do yourself a favor and stop by Choo Choo's. They've been serving up mouthwatering BBQ for over 20 years, and their chef has been there nearly half that time, which absolutely shows in the quality. We'll definitely be back!

They have live music in the evenings which made our night even more enjoyable. For drinks, since it is a distillery, you can sample a whiskey flight or pick one of their specialty cocktails. For food, they offer classic pub fare, and I highly recommend the BBQ nachos. They were a nice portion, filling, and absolutely delicious. The ahi tuna was also very good and nicely prepared. Service also really stood out. The server was friendly and, attentive. They even bring a water carafe to the table, which is a nice touch. Additionally, they offer a discount when you pay with cash. If you're in the area and looking for something a little different with great food, drinks, and atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out! I'm sure I'll be back.

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.

DO NOT USE THE DOG MENU!!…read more I ordered off the dog menu for my small dog and ended up in the emergency animal hospital that same night. The food came back cooked on a dirty, greasy grill with salt, pepper flakes, and oil. All of this is toxic to dogs. My dog was severely dehydrated and had to stay overnight. The vet bill was over $2,000. The chefs here have zero training on what dogs can and cannot eat. If you have a small dog, please do not order from this menu. You are putting your pet's life at risk.
