Chopped salad
Amy P.

Came here for a late lunch on a Thursday after visiting the preserve, and it was not too busy. We ordered the chopped salad and pimento grilled cheese and tomato soup. Decent sized portions and prices. The food was fine and the garlic chive butter that they serve with their bread was good. The soup had good flavor. Nice ambiance and decor. Located in a shopping plaza that is inside the Sea Pines resort area which costs $9 for a day pass. Large parking lot.

Tomato dill soup, delicious....!!!

Striped bass with green beans and mashed potatoes

If you looking for them perfect spot for dinner do not miss this place!!! It has been here for many years so most now of this spot.. I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Betsy. She was amazing. This as by far the BEST meal I have had in years. I had the striped bass with Mediterranean salsa, green beans and mash potatoes. The fish was hands down top of my all time meals. The atmosphere was perfect. I also enjoyed a delicious "pearadise cocktail" which was also perfect. 5 stars is just not enough!!!

Love Truffles! It's been a go-to for over 30 years! Consistently good service and great food. Today had smoked salmon and truffle fries for appetizers. Red fish, tuna, crab cake, cod and Filet for dinner. Can't go wrong.

Martini

I can't believe I have never been here!. For me in all the years I have been coming to HHI....This is some of the best fish I have had. Place has low lighting but this makes it feel cool after a hot day.. We sat at the bar and we were promptly greeted and served. Bartender...Thomas...was knowledgeable friendly and properly attentive. Baked brie appetizer was delicious with liquor soaked pecans. Our fish dishes....the Cod and the catch of the day --Redfish...we're delicious... cod had a pesto sauce was cooked perfect with a buttery center. Redfish was lightly blackened and tasty as well. Both came with mashed potatoes and haricot vert green beans. Cocktails were a mojito and a martini. We weren't rushed, and the food was delicious... we would definitely go back.

Blondie
Julie S.

Yummy spot for a family lunch. Our beach rental recommended saving room for a blondie and they were not wrong. The blondie was well worth it. They had some yummy sandwiches and salads and I enjoyed my burger.

Went there, hungry for french onion soup. Nothing worth the toll or drive. Probably good for locals.

My now fiancé and I got engaged right outside of this restaurant, on the beach!…read more Firstly, I will say that I don't remember the food in great detail due to the emotions of the big surprise. I believe that everything we had was good, including the small seafood tower and the flourless chocolate torte. I believe we also got an appetizer, but I don't have a picture of it. Secondly, the service was AMAZING!! They truly made our evening so special. We immediately received champagne, they were able to seat us early, and everyone was so incredibly kind. The bartender (I forgot her name) recommended a few drinks, such as the devil's margarita, which was amazing. She even took photos of us outside and came over to our table a few times to make sure we were doing okay! I also got a dirty gin martini which was great. I cannot emphasize enough how truly special they helped make our evening. They went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend this place for special events and I will be back to try the food again!

From the moment you step in, the service is top-notch. They call you by your first name and check…read morein several times throughout the meal to make sure everything is going well. This is the kind of service you hope for when dining out. What stood out most is that it's not just your server stopping by -- the host who seats you, managers, waiters, and bussers all come by to make sure you're taken care of. Now let's talk about the food. If you're a Brussels sprouts fan, this is the place to come. The fried Brussels sprouts are served with fried pork belly -- and honestly, who can top that? The balsamic glaze on top is absolutely amazing. We also tried the short rib empanadas. They were good, though the flavor profile wasn't quite what I personally expected. The corn risotto dish normally comes with fried shrimp, but as someone who isn't a shrimp lover, they kindly accommodated my request and substituted blackened chicken. The combination of the blackened chicken with the corn risotto was outstanding -- a perfect balance of flavors. And don't skip the hush puppies. They're crisp on the outside, soft in the center, and have a sweet glaze that is absolutely to die for. We didn't get to sit outside because it was a bit cool, but the patio overlooking the beach is stunning and would be a wonderful place to dine when the weather cooperates.

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.

Maaaaan, I came here YEARS ago (try almost 11, if my photo on FB is to be believed) before I was…read moreYelping regularly, but I saw this restaurant pop up on a Yelp list I was reading the other day and it unlocked the deeply-buried memory of my visit here and I thought...might as well chronicle that memory with a quick review! 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.
