Taylor was great! and the chicken wings were extra crunchy!!!! We also ordered the gator bites and they were delish! read more

Hi Everyone, Where can you go to enjoy lunch or diner while you and your friends play a three games of pool? Yes, this is an age old question that has tried Men's souls for over a decade, lol. The ambiance here is a bar and grill decor, you know dark, and laid back so you can relax as you enjoy your lunch or dinner. However, I do not recommend it after 7:00 PM which should cover about 70% of us Low Country patrons. Their service was friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. My 16 year old Grandson who was visiting for our annual, golf, beach, fishing, and fondu diners and what ever adventure we enjoy together. You know, the visit which you have done with him and his Sister all of their lives, meaning, each year since they were born while you give their Parents a rest which they have always appreciated for a couple of weeks, or, in few years, a month. But as many of us have experienced 16 is a challenging age for almost all youth just as it was for you and I. In our day, many of us were working in the summer at that age but today, I am very happy to say, many of our Grandchildren will now rotate their friends into their summer jobs which is smart, while they are gone, and are now available for visits. But what to do that do to entertain your digital challenged linage? Some of whom only venture outside at night at 16 as they feel the extreme heat of our days can stifle even the heartiest our souls. You still want them to feel you are cool, like when you, and they were younger and you visited Ft. Jackson in Savannah, or to the Tall Ships that were docked, Putt Golf, the Kazoo factory, days trips on the Pirate Ship, The Beaufort Water Festival for everything to MoTown Monday while dancing and singing along, to Bed and Raft races, Bocce, or The Chocolate Tree or summer camp each year for a week, or for trips to St. Augustine, or Disney World. But at 16 that dog just don't hunt. So what is a cool Grandpa to do? I decided we would venture out to enjoy some fried gator (tastes like chicken), which he had never eaten before, and which were perfectly prepared. Their Burgers were delicious with an excellent taste. We had a great time together playing pool, while laughing at a few of our shots, and talking while hanging out together.. And you know, he really had a great time doing what some of the time, I enjoyed doing in my youth. So if you feel you need to revisit your youth, possibly with your next generation, or just want enjoy a leisurely meal and libation with some friends, we can recommend Tailgators Bar and Grill for some, with Grandson, or none. So stop by and give Tailgators a try as you might find, you get what you need. Enjoy! read more

We stopped by on the way back from Beaufort but only got a few drinks. We sat at a high top by the bar and were able to watch the third place World Cup game. Service was amazing. Several people came over to check on us, even though we only got drinks. The bar is a nice set up, and placement of the pool tables helps with the overall interior flow of the place. We've been to some bar/grilles with pool tables and they're placed in front of the bar of common area and it causes a feeling of chaos. Great layout here! Plenty of parking and great staff. We'll be back read more

Pretty decent bar food. Several missing items last 2 times I was there. Definitely a local vibe.

Stopped in on our way to our hotel after seeing their menu online- now I want to live here! Cool bar off the beaten path with a killer Cajun pasta and smash burger- Cool vibe - bartenders were great. Also, a ton of pool tables - Worth checking out! read more

The service was fine, but the food was mediocre at best. My burger was over cooked and salty, and the Reuben was just ok. You can tell the corned beef was cheap. The price of the meal did not reflect the quality. read more

Great, local spot and spacious inside with pool tables. Sit anywhere you'd like and the waitress brings over menus. Unfortunately, it's louder than average so difficult to talk. Now onto the food. Wings are delicious and crispy! Pulled pork was very yummy but the chips need a seasoning. The relish with chopped jalapeños was tasty. The bourbon chicken with rice was very good & filling. We didn't do dessert but everyone was very nice. We'll be back! read more

Stopped in on my motorcycle trip for a quick beer and a meal. I asked the bartender if the firecracker shrimp tacos were good and she said she gets them at least twice a week. I got them and they were just as good as she made them out to be. read more

So for starters we are here for our honeymoon and five stars does no justice at all Jayden our server was absolutely amazing management was absolutely amazing and customer service was through the roof the atmosphere was great and the food and drinks were even better I highly recommend checking them out we will definitely be back I hope to see her there when we return I think we're going to come back there every year to celebrate with them. read more

Service and food were GREAT!!!! I had just gotten off the road from Florida and Tailgators Bar and Drille was right on time. I ordered a ham and turkey club with tots and it was a win!!! Nice and clean place. Will definitely be back. read more

Food was good service is good - Pool table included - fun place -a little pricey for a sports bar.

The Alligator is must try and their loaded fries paired on the side are absolutely delicious!

Last night was my third visit to Tailgators. IMHO: It has good food for a bar. Last night I had a Reuben sandwich with coleslaw as my side dish and both were tasty. Although the bottom side of the Reuben was soggy, it was a bit messy to eat but tasty none the less. The team service is surprising efficient, and my food came fairly quickly considering how busy the place was. P.S. On my last visit in March a friend of mine (that retired to Sun City) suggested that I have their broccoli. It is by far the best broccoli that I have ever had! My friend knows the owner and it took him four years before the owner revealed how they prepare it. I suggest that you try it and decide for yourself. read more

Great food and service. Had a wonderful time at open mike night. Hope they do that more often.

Holy home cooking!!! Thank you so very much for the Schnitzel Special! Very excited to return for a taste of something else! read more

Great Local Bar and good bar food at a reasonable price. Would recommend you give it a try

We are visiting this area, and tried Tailgators Bar and Grille on a whim! We are so glad we stopped here!!! Taylor, our waitress, was phenomenal! Dan, also stopped by our table to check on everything! He was wonderful to talk with, we had a lot in common!!! As far as the food goes, it was GREAT.....we did not have a long wait, and the food was piping hot! My husband had the club sandwich and onion rings, I had their pork chop with mashed potatoes and green beans. We were both impressed on the food, the onion rings were the best we've ever had! We highly recommend stopping at the Tailgators Bar and Grille for your next meal.....we can't wait to come back! read more

Visited with a large group of friends, food and drinks were excellent. Service was outstanding by Taylor read more

Very cool bar catering to locals. Very professional service and good food. Comfortable atmosphere and good pool room. It would be easy to kill an afternoon in this place. read more

Depends on what you're looking for. Certain nights of the week it gets a little heavy with college crowd and a little loud but if you're looking for a great spot to shoot pool with halfway decent appetizers then I recommend. read more

Excellent service, drinks, and food. Within 45 seconds of me sitting down, Heather (who was working a busy bar) acknowledged me and came over almost immediately. I think I waited maybe 2 minutes for a drink and maybe 10min at best for the best Rueben sandwich I've ever had. who would have known this dive bar was so good?? I'll be back for sure. Great job Tailgators!!! read more

Great local pool hall, restaurant & sports bar W/ wide screen TV -cold, good food (off the grill) and Great Service!)

From the outside you may think this is your typical biker bar. While inside you'll see the many pool tables, a nice bar area surrounded by separate table for dining or hanging out. My wife and I along with 2 other friends had just come back from Riverton Pointe Golf and looking for some grub and libations. Jason was our waiter and an excellent one as well. My wife ordered a Yuengling @ $3.25 pint while I had a draft Pernicious @ $7.75. A bit pricey for draft beer, but was good. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich ($13) which was better than expected. I would almost think they smoke it there themselves. Moist, tasty and not too sauced. My wife had the regular Quesadilla ($10) which she thought was perfect. Next time we'll bring the bike when we visit. read more

Local bar. Great food for the price. Very nice people. Good local place always happy going here

A solid little sports bar dive bar in Okatie. The ambiance is what you would expect a sports bar with a nice set of pool tables to one side. So it's loud at times so don't consider it for a catch up lunch with an elementary school friend. The food is really good dive bar food. I have had the wings, dry rub is the way to go. A solid burger as well especially if you get the bacon and egg. Maybe a tad salty? A nice surprise is that not everything is fried. The shrimp basket and the chicken sandwiches can be grilled or blackened amongst other things. Also two words : tater tots Service is spot on and it's cheap. It's good bar food and cold beer. read more

We found Tailgater Bar and Grille last year as we were traveling south on Around Me. We were very pleased with the service, drinks, and food. On our 2025 trip south and our group planned to return to Tailgater Bar and Grille. Taylor and Ava did an outstanding job waiting on us. The food and drinks were still wonderful. We would recommend it. Very friendly atmosphere, you will enjoy it. read more

Just arrived at Hilton Head Island and was desperate to find a sports bar to watch the Philly Eagles. Found Tailgators and was pleasantly surprised. I had a beer and the special prime rib sandwich. The beef.melted in my mouth. Very tender. I watched the Eagles beat New England and my wife watched US Open tennis. Novak beat Daniel. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars was my wife's first Margarita glass was small due to an inexperienced waiter. read more

Food good Service good Have to go there more So far it has been good Friends have good things to say about this restaurant read more

Reminder of how I review, I am not comparing this to a fine dining waterfront restaurant, I am comparing it to a five-star Dive Bar. When you walk in, you get instant dive bar vibes. Local favorites playing on touch tunes, the cracking of pool balls in the billiards room, and locals everywhere. Almost all the staff is amazing. We had been there 3 times, and the bartender remembered us. Food is way above average (for dive bars). Ask about the daily specials and if you are torn on a side... do the broccoli, trust me! read more

The food was just average, and there wasn't enough seating available. However, the server was friendly.

Tonight was the first time I visited Tailgators in the evening. I am a sometimes lunch customer. I was sitting at the bar beside a regular and I was appalled by the way the bartenders spoke to her. If that is the way regulars are treated, I prefer to keep my distance. The food is barely passable and the service is, obviously, lacking. I will not be back. read more

Great neighborhood bar, smaller menu, but all food good Outstanding customer service Also pool hall read more

Our pickleball teams have come here after a match. Win or lose we always have a great time. We've come with groups from 12 to 32. They accommodate us all in their back room. Such a large menu. Once I had the schnitzel special and it was the best. Besides the burgers and fries try the best Reuben. Fries and salads. We continue to come back.

Tailgators Bar and Grille - TG dog! Hotdogs wrapped in bacon. - Sports Bars Near Me - Ridgeland, South Carolina

This business sucks. We drove over 30 minutes to get there on a Thursday night. Everywhere we could find said they were open from 11-2 on Thursdays. Not only that, but we called several times on our way and they didn't answer, but the message on their answering service repeated those hours so we just figured they were busy. We got there about 6:30 pm. The lights were on and people were inside but the door was locked. No one came to the door despite the fact we stood there looking in. A. Be open during the hours you say you are open. B. Answer your damn phone. They had a private party, apparently, but no one would know that. They don't want new. customers. Jerks. read more

I always have a nice time here. The service is friendly with smiles all around. The food is basic bar food. Nothing to sing praises to but certainly good. I accidentally spilled my drink at the bar and it was replaced immediately without question. read more

What a great change this restaurant has gone through. Clean. Great attentive staff. Food is 100% better Awful choice of loud music for the over 50 people. Local eatery Will get crazy busy when all the new projects are occupied read more
