    Happy birthday touch
    Bob K.

    Steak smash burger with fries

    The meats were seasoned and cooked to perfection! There was no need for steak sauce or any other condiments, everything tasted great. The service was great from the time we walked in and was greeted and seated right away. Our waiter was on point about checking in on us and offering suggestions from the drink, food and dessert menus. It was a dim lit restaurant with a classy feel, I enjoyed the whole experience.

    Wood Fired Vegetable Lasagna
    Julia M.

    This was our second visit for dinner, and both times had a very good experience. When we arrived at around 7:30 on Friday we were seated immediately and our server was attentive and helpful. I had a cup of she crab soup to start and decided on the wood fired vegetable lasagna. The soup was good, but not the best she crab soup I've ever had. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars But I was thrilled with the veggie lasagna. It was so flavorful & delicious. The veggies were minced and included carrots, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, and I believe tomato. The sauce was a traditional bechamel and the lasagna also had a good amount of mozzarella. The lasagna noodles were very fresh. This was a 5 star dish for me. I would order it again. Hubs started with French Onion Soup and was thrilled with it. 5 stars. His ceaser salad was huge and the lettuce was fresh. The only downside was it over dressed as it was dripping with dressing. 3.5 stars. He also had the prime rib and it was cooked as he requested but he said it was a bit on the fatty side. 4 stars. We also had a bottle of wine and they had a nice selection of reds and whites. The restaurant was lively, but not too crowded and not too loud. We will definitely go back.

    Smash-burger & House Macaroni and Cheese & Butter Glazed Asparagus

    We really enjoyed our meal at WiseGuys. The bread was wonderful to start. We then got the Parmesan fries & Brussels sprouts and both were great. For our entree's, the waiter recommended the smash burgers which were unbelievable. The Mac & cheese with smoked Gouda worked surprisingly well, and our waiter was very nice. Next time we are on the island we will have to try the steaks.

    I returned to one of my fave places on the island Dec 12 with a local friend. We always visit this place and another next door. This visit I had the filet mignon salad $26. My friend had the short rib lasagne ($26). My meal was absolutely perfect, everything seasoned/flavored perfectly. My friend's dish looked a little heavy for me but she loved it, also. We chose a nice wine, I Googled it: Banfi Belnero is a premium Super Tuscan IGT wine from Castello Banfi in Montalcino, primarily crafted from Sangiovese blended with international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. It features a deep ruby color with notes of black cherry, plum, spice, and vanilla, offering a full-bodied, structured palate with balanced tannins. Enjoyed 2 glasses of it ($32)! We split the chocolate Pot de Creme ($10) for dessert, so good. The restaurant was crowded, as we went a dinner time. Were lucky to get a table, in the bar area, near the window. Our server was running by and I didn't mind at all calling out to him, as he didn't check on us as much as the table to next to us, who were regulars. Once they left, he honored us with his presence, actually lingered to explain the quality of the wine we chose. I enjoyed this visit, although I am spoiled on getting much better service in Dallas, but every time I visit the islands, I try to remember to focus on the food, company and atmosphere.

    Braised Short Rib / Gorgonzola Short Rib Stuffed Mushrooms 4

    Maaaaaannnn, I wish I lived closer. I could easily see this place being "our spot." We chose Wiseguys on a whim while we were vacationing in Hilton Head. The ambiance is gorgeous and romantic. The service was professional, yet friendly. The Food was outstanding. We started with the Asian Calamari/shrimp appetizer. The presentation was super creative, and it was tender and sweet. The standout was the short rib / Gorgonzola stuffed mushrooms... WOW. If I could eat those everyday, I probably would. The entree was a 14 oz NY strip. I opted for the truffle butter on top, (because I'm a truffle-head) and whew, it was the right move. The steak was cooked perfectly, and it was tender and juicy. We got the mashed potatoes and a side of cream spinach too. Everything was impeccable. Halfway through the meal, we got visited by the owner Collin. What an awesome gent! Thanks for a memorable experience, and we WILL be back!

    Our 11th anniversary was this weekend and decided to spend it in the HH area. Made late reservations to WG restaurant and it was fantastic. My wife loved the setup and ambiance. Especially the long lighted hallway, it had a vintage Mod century feel to it. Service was impeccable, Chris was very helpful. My wife had the seafood wontons and Bang Bang Shrimp and was delicious. I had the fresh and much needed Beet salad and the combination of arugula, pistachios and beets were amazing with the sweet balsamic sauce. Next was the prime 16oz Delmonico steak and it was the 1st time I tried that particular cut and it was juicy (medium) well charred and succulently tender. One of the best steaks I've had in my life. Highly recommend this establishment. Well done.

    Comfortable upscale and elegant seating. Nice cozy ambiance. Great service. We loved our steaks, sides, desserts and Port.

    4 of us had a reservation for dinner to celebrate a birthday. We all loved our steaks( Ribeye, NY strip, and prime Ribeye. The sides were excellent. Bread pudding and the crème brûlée were both delicious. We enjoyed a bottle of Pinot Noir and port at dessert. Excellent service!

    Smash Burger

    We enjoyed the best meal all week in Hilton Head Island at Wise Guys. I had the smash burger, that is made of NY strip, short rib, and ribeye all ground together. It was amazing. One of the best burgers I've eaten in a long time. My wife had the meatloaf, this is also made from ribeye and NY strip. She love it. My daughter had the Margherita Pizza, which looked to be cooked in a wood fired pizza oven. She said it was perfect and reminder her of our time in Italy. I indulged in one of the cheapest pours of 20yr Pappy Van Winkle I've come across in years. Service was fantastic. Overall amazing experience and will certainly return.

    Creme brûlée flight.  Awesome

    Great meal. Sliders, salad , pizza. Seems simple but they were all elevated and very very good. Upscale ambiance. Portions generous. Service exemplary with Shawn. Will be back.

But being from New Orleans, I also know a lot about restaurants and flash fryers used in kitchens, to quickly prepare fried seafood dishes to chicken , throughout the country. So let me begin my review of Hudson seafood house on the dock. My first impression is that this is a local place that has been around a long time and you can actually see and somewhat feel the age of this establishment. It is very popular and Hilton head a great deal of tourist come through their golfers, etc.. The staff is very young teenagers working a summer job who hasn't done that to their 20s and 30s. Shout out to the bartender and to the blind headed waitress who recommended my drink and food choices. You guys are Primo in my book. If you're planning on eating there outside is gorgeous view of the water but it's also very crowded around certain times. Call ahead to reserve tables, especially if you're coming with a large group. This place is great for kids, young kids and adults and if you're an old head like myself, the bar is a place to be. Enjoy a good draft or something on tap.

The location itself is absolutely beautiful, sitting right on the water with an enormous amount of outdoor seating. We decided to sit inside at the bar, which had huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water, and we were even lucky enough to spot a couple of dolphins playing nearby. The first thing I noticed when we sat down was the massive selection of oysters displayed on ice. Even better, it was happy hour and all oysters were half off, so naturally I ordered a dozen and let the bartender choose the best ones for me. Every single one was fresh and delicious. We also shared a she-crab soup that was packed with flavor and had the perfect texture. Earlier in the trip we had ordered she-crab soup somewhere else and it was watery and disappointing, so this one definitely made up for it. The restaurant was pretty quiet during the daytime, although the bartender mentioned it gets much busier at night. Before leaving, we walked outside along the dockside of the building toward the front and saw the massive covered outdoor seating area overlooking the water. It definitely feels like the kind of place that comes alive at night, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have live music as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

Nothing we ordered really stood out. I know it's called the Old Oyster Factory, but we didn't order any. We mainly in because it was on the Island Bucks list. The fried green tomatoes had a good flavor, though the plate looked sparse with only three pieces. A fourth would have made the dish seem more complete. The flounder sandwich was under-seasoned and the "fresh fruit" did not live up to its name. The calamari came as small rings that were kind of chewy rather than crisp. Although not a lump crab crab cake it was mostly crab and had a good flavor. It was served with a scoop of potatoes and broccolini. The broccolini was very limp and had absolutely no flavor. We heard it's a great place to catch the sunset, but based on our meal, we would more than likely not visit again.

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.
