This place seems pretty cool for a strip mall restaurant. The food was okay. I had the Crispy Chicken (Fried Chicken) and my wife had some type of fish. I don't remember. She wasn't very impressed, but I was at least intrigued enough to where I'll prolly try them out again. The service was a bit slow and I'm not a fan of young waitresses talking to me like I'm 12. Maybe it's the Southern "baby" "honey" thing, but I'm like come on, I'm probably 10 years older than her. Anyway, we'll see if I like it any better next time. Oh yeah, the tables are so close that I felt like I should have given my opinion on whether or not the guy at the next table should drive back to Atlanta that night even though he just had work done on his car. I thought he paid too much for the new tires for his Honda Accord, but it wasn't like I actually knew them. I just felt like their conversation was at my table.... read more

We had four different appetizers, they were all great. We are from Maryland and were skeptical of the crab cakes, no need, they were pure lump meat with NO breading, very impressed! Not sure why they call it a cafe, it is a nice restaurant for dinner; the decor is very nice, elegant. The waiter is very knowledgable and made great recommendations. Two of the party had the shrimp linguine, one liked it the other did not. They brought out a second linguine without us asking, it was much better and hot. Chicken chipotle was good but too much blue cheese. Pork burger was very good but messy. Desserts are good. They also have several nice private dining rooms. read more

great menu - eclectic mix Baked brie appetizer with fruit and nuts is great - works as a shared appetizer or a stand-alone entree. Definitely recommend the salmon entree. Pleasant, attentive yet unobtrusive service. Good wine list. read more

Today was our first visit to Truffles Cafe. The food was delicious and would definitely go back. However, the food is not the not only reason that we will go back. Our hostess (didn't her name) and our waiter, Miles, we absolutely THE BEST! Both of them went out of their way to accommodate us and were so pleasant. It's hard to find good food and good service these day and today was the exception! I would give them a 10 star review if I could!! read more

Mike and I stopped here for lunch on the way to Hilton Head Island. We were in beach clothes, so we just got takeout. Mike said we were a tad under-dressed, and judging from the disdainful look from the hostess before we announced we were just picking up, he was right! So we munched on our food in the car. I had a wrap with portabella mushrooms, roasted red peppers, brie, and spinach. It was just heavenly. French fries were tasty too. Mike swears by the Southwestern wrap, but I can't ever seem to pass up anything with brie in it. A nom, nom, nom. If you're visiting HHI, there are a couple locations -- this one is in Bluffton, and I hear the other location in HHI is great too. read more

this place seemed promising considering the other options around. It's in a strip mall sort of deal but it was close to our hotel. The decor was great and looked like a pretty nice restaurant. It ended up being pretty awful. The food was so-so and absolutely not worth the price. We got the artichoke dip and something else that I can't really remember (it was that mediocre). We were a little unsure on entrees so we told the server that we would get the appetizers and drinks first and then decide on dinner. The server only came by like 3 times during our 2 hours visit, she walked by and would basically ignore us when we tried to wave her over to order or ask about entrees. We were pissed about that of course. We ended up only getting appetizers and after waiting for the check for like 15 minutes (even though there was barely anyone in the restaurant) and then leaving. We would have been better off going to one of the other chain restaurants, I've had better service at a crowded sports bar. Hopefully the service gets better, as a visitor, I would probably never try it again. Though perhaps it was a unique experience because the other reviews are generally positive. read more

We stop there on the way out of Hilton headed for breakfast because the breakfast places on Hilton Head are always so packed and you can't make reservations. We had our dog with us and the outdoor patio was very pleasant, the food was great and the portions very generous. The white staff was terrific. We've missed Truffles since they moved to Sea Pines plantation, so I'm glad to see a second location and we will return. Their coleslaw is a delicious kale concoction (not traditional coleslaw) and their rice with vegetables is basmati rice, so I think most of their sides are more upscale than traditional fare. read more

I'm sure I will return to Truffles and update this review. I expected to be leaving 5 stars, but one thing changed it. I'll get to that. First off, my wife and I stopped in for lunch after my mother raving about Truffles. It was convenient for us as we need to go to Kroger before returning home. We were sat at a two top in the bar area. The bartender was our server, and he was AWESOME. The service was impeccable, and that will always make me return. I had a view of the kitchen, and everything coming out of the kitchen I wanted. Since it was lunch, we decided to eat light (really wanted the baked brie in a puff pastry). My wife got a lunch special of a grilled pimento cheese with a tomato dill bisque. I almost got the same thing (and wished I did). It was great. I went for the Napa cabbage salad with Tuna. I figured that close to the ocean the tuna would be fresh. I'm fairly sure it was frozen. I love tuna. I had it cooked medium rare (which it was cooked perfectly). Unfortunately, the tuna was not great. It just had a fishiness to it. I know it is a fish, but this was just off. This is why I thought it was frozen. The salad wasn't the cheapest thing on the menu either. Sending food back isn't my thing. I know I should have, but after spending so many years in a kitchen and waiting tables its just something I don't do. Having said this, it may have been the last batch of tuna they had or some other reason. It would not stop me from going back. Like I said my wife's food was great, and everything leaving the kitchen looked amazing. I still wish we had gotten the baked brie appetizer. read more

To start, the price for two soft drinks, two entres, one appetizer, one soup, and tip was $67.85. My girlfriend and I stopped here for lunch and were underwhelmed by the food. We started with the artichoke and spinach dip, but there was something not right about it at all. I think this is a hard appetizer to mess up, but it didn't taste good. I wouldn't recommend it. I also started with a French onion soup. The soup was edible after 10 minutes of cooling, but the cheese was too thick and it was overall gross. You couldn't get a spoon of soup with the bread and cheese because of the way it was prepared. Our entres then arrived - a bacon burger and the chicken pot pie. While the burger wasn't bad, there was nothing special to it. I hoped for a well seasoned burger, but despite the bacon and bbq sauce, it still didn't have much flavor. The chicken pot pie was the worst part of the meal. It came out in a bigger bowl, but the same presentation as the French onion soup - a big bowl with a crust on top. Under the crust though was more like chicken soup. Our idea of chicken pot pie is a creamy feeling - but absolutely not a broth. Again it was way too hot, too greasy, and too salty. It didn't taste good, and she didn't really eat any of it. Sadly, our favorite part of the meal was the bread and garlic butter, which was really good. This was my first visit, so maybe I just got the worst of it on one visit, but I won't return here for a good while. It was quite overpriced given the quality of the food. We wished we'd gone to 5 Guys for better food! read more

I don't think that you can go wrong with Truffles. The salads are my favorite things. A nice bar to sit at as well.

Can't say enough about how great the service was here! So friendly and courteous. We had the baked Brie as an appetizer. First time trying this and it was delicious. read more

Delicious food, and friendly service are the standard for this lovely destination. My girlfriend and I really enjoy going to Truffles Cafe. The bread is good, but the garlic butter that accompanies is the star. The baked brie is so good you'll be tempted to have it as an entree instead of an appetizer. I've enjoyed the heck out of their ribs, steak, New Orleans pasta, and a particularly delicious spinach salad as well. The Oreo ice cream cake is wonderful if you're an Oreo lover. The staff are courteous, attentive, and happy to help with any request that you could have to make your dining experience better. read more

This restaurant is actually a chain, and this location is in a strip mall, but it's nicely appointed on the inside. I had the pork ribs, they were beautifully tender, but not seasoned very well, and simply covered with a very sweet barbecue sauce. This is obviously not where you would travel to if you wanted authentic southern ribs. The fries were good, and the local IPA beer on tap was excellent. Service was decent, but there is little here that is memorable. It's a business formula. Not much more. read more

Most things aren't worth the money. It's pretty expensive. I will say that they have a delicious pimento cheese grilled sandwich and a blondie with ice cream! read more

Really nice place. Upscale without being pretentious. Food was great as was the service. They also know how to make the perfect cappuccino. The foam was thick and bubble-free (like whipped cream). Most coffee places foams are bubbly and go flat quickly. Overall, a great place to go. read more

Had a fast meal here and the staff was very friendly. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and get our order just right. Love the high ceilings and long outdoor porch dining option. Would definitely come here again. Loved the fish sandwich and sweet potato fries. Appetizers are awesome. Key lime pie looks great but tastes like the same recipe you have had 100 times. read more

I love the ambience and menu here. It's a bit upscale without being overly pretentious. The menu is what I classify as "basic". Meaning that it has a little something for everyone. If you don't like fish, you can have a burger. If you don't like those options, you can check-out their pasta dishes. Or have a large salad. They have some good "home cooked feeling" type meals like meatloaf and pork chops. The meals are always plated nicely and taste delicious. I love the butter that comes with the bread basket. Two suggestions: 1) Try their flavored teas/lemonades. They crush fresh fruit into them which makes them delish! 2) Make sure if you sit in the side room that you don't mistake the gigantic floor length mirrors for a hallway. We've seen one too many walk into them thinking they were walking into a another room. Oops! I took off one star for service. While the service is usually professional, it's always a bit on the slow side. read more

Good not great food but hey, everything is relative. For me, 4 stars means you're truly exceptional and only a couple restaurants in all but large metro areas are justified. We ordered crab cakes (good but not amazing), southwestern salad (good but too many tortilla strips and the large pieces were way too large) and ribs (tasty but nothing special or unusual). The interior is very nice, upscale turn of the 20th century Paris. Good place for a glass of wine. read more

My pesto linguine was one of the best I have so far; arugula , sundried tomatoes, pine nuts-all high quality fresh. We'll definitely come back again since our server Garret, who is really good both very pleasant and knows their dishes very well, recommended us to try their crab cakes and fish for next visit. read more

Always a wonderful experience for dinner. From the atmosphere (that is so unexpected by the location) to the delicious food and exceptional service, it's one of my favorite spots to grab a guaranteed good meal! Also - I highly recommend their cookie brownie type dessert - it's a favorite amongst friends! read more

We ate here the past Wednesday evening and it was wonderful. My wife eats here quite frequently for lunch to entertain clients.when I go, it is normally for lunch, or we go for happy hour occasionally. The service and attentiveness was the best I have seen at dinner after living in Bluffton for 14 years. We had the Southwestern chicken and pasta and it was absolutely delicious. The only reason this is a four store instead of a five star review quite frankly is the cleanliness of the restaurant and maintenance that needs to be done. Everything around our booth was extremely dusty, looks like it had not been done in years. The front door for years has been badly in need of re-stain and they never seem to get around to doing it. Same thing for the mirrors, and all the draperies, I would be afraid as to know when the last time they vacuumed them was. Other than that, as mentioned the food and service was fantastic. read more

The food, drinks, and service were all quite good. The super ultra low level of light is infuriating. Great for incognito, utterly horrid for reading anything like menus or wine lists. read more

Truffles has great dishes and excellent desserts. Their private rooms make it very easy to separate and celebrate special occasions. I go here as often as I can. read more

We stopped in here for an early lunch. First ones there. Sat at the bar. Low and behold when we checked in they gave us a free glass of wine! This was gonna be a good day! And it was! I ordered the grilled pimento cheese sandwich with tomato soup and fries. Oh so good. Oh and Stepanie our server/ bartender brought a basket of in-house made bread with seasoned butter. The bread was still hot. So delicious. Five stars all the way. Even the bathroom passed my inspection. Check this place out! Loved it! Stepanie was fantastic read more

Service was nice. Atmosphere was pleasant. Pasta was good, but lacked real flavor from (jarred?) pesto. Could be fresher.

Very friendly staff and love the cream of tomato with dill soup. It's the best I've ever tasted with a dash of fresh cream on top. read more

Best black bean burgers ever. The menu was huge and diverse, it took me awhile to narrow it down. Friendly staff. They even comped me a dill tomato soup. If you're in Bluffton SC check this place out. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Bluffton. Truffles has the best customer service. They are perfect for any occasion. I've had business dinners, baby showers, date nights, and take out. read more

So mediocre. Service is friendly and prices are fair but the food is just so blah. I've ordered salads and pasta on my three visits and have gotten limp baby greens, a bowl of mostly lettuce and overcooked pasta with super salty cream sauce respectively. It's a shame because the location is convenient. read more

Truffles hosted us as a big group last night in the room off to the side. It was a great space and perfect for our well attended networking function. The star of the show though was the tuna wonton appetizer that they brought out for us. I could have easily eaten the whole plate!!! I look forward to returning next time I'm looking for a nicer dinner option in Bluffton. read more

Dog-friendly, comfortable outside dining. Great service, good food, happy hour, what more do you need?

Great food and friendly service. I love that I can always get exactly what I want even if it's a special dietary request. I've been there for lunch and dinner and I'm never disappointed. read more

Weary of cooking the same dishes and five adults living under one roof...what to do for dinner? Truffles curb side! So great that everyone could order their favorites and it tastes exactly the same. Salmon salad for me, ribs for three of us and bacon burger. Yum. Happy tummies and no clean up. Great job, Truffles in Bluffton! read more

I came all the way from NY to spend time with a beautiful young lady at a nice cozy, quite, romantic spot (it was our anniversary of a 25yr friendship), a friend of mine that travels alot suggested I try truffles! First let me give a big shout out to the manager Amy for taking time out of her busy night to wish my friend and I a happy anniversary (that made my friend smile) and made sure if we needed anything not to hesitate to ask. Second big ups to our server Shanley, she was super cool and patience with me being indecisive half the night! The food was cooked to our request and brought out faster then expected so in closing y'all get 5stars from me but if u want me to come back give a Amy and Shanley a raise lol thanks for a unforgettable memories!!

I ordered the Mango Salmon. It was perfectly cooked, a little crisp on the outside and moist inside. Service was great. The food came quickly. read more

Tucked away in the Kroger shopping center, it is definitely worth searching for. The food is delicious and the atmosphere delightful. The menu is varied and you can get very simple dishes or more elaborate meals. We enjoy frequenting this wonderful, local business. read more

We recently moved to the area and have been to Truffles several times already! Everything we've ordered has been amazing!!!!
