    This restaurant is listed as open to the public. We were turned away at the gate today while trying to go for lunch.

    I have had the experience of eating BB for over a year and have never had anything I didn't like. I have had every menu item.

Centrally located in the charming Old Town Bluffton . There were no early reservations available and took a chance on walk in and were accommodated on the patio. Very attentive and friendly service. We will be back and totally not wait another 5 years for this true gem.

You can spend $300 on a dress or everything on the menu including a generous tip and dessert! Food you CANNOT REPLICATE OR ATTEMPT TO MAKE AT HOME. A favorite feature of mine. And service that is worth a Gold star for bringing it to the next level. We love eating upstairs but downstairs is just as nice! I'm hoping they will always be here because this is our favorite! Best chicken I have ever had... to this day. And I NEVER order chicken because it's usually dry, not at The Farm. We also LOVE THEIR MOCKTAILS! Best way to feats and have the best experience in Bluffton!

Service was good-our waitress was very busy but was attentive to us. The food was really good! The Half Portion of Lobster was amazing and fresh. My husband's chicken Marsala was good flavor although he said it could have been a little warmer (temperature wise). My daughter had a Chicken Caesar Salad and she likes it a lot. We had the S'mores for dessert which was super fun! Never seen a dessert presentation like that. We also had Cheese take which was amazing. We sis not have a Reservation for a Saturday night but we got right in at a high top. Will definitely be back! Great time!!

I was super excited about the specials between 330 and five. I got a 4 ounce filet mignon Oscar style with crab on top, fresh mashed potatoes, and delicious asparagus with hollandaise. For $25 I got the filet mignon dinner, soup or salad of choice and a soda. Great deal! The only reason I gave it four stars was because it had a very strong smell of bad seafood. I'm not sure why but everything was spot on otherwise! You've got to give it a try.

Being turned away because the place is popular is not a reason to give 1 star.) This is not luxury roof-top dining on the island... this is American pub comfort food... and it is GREAT for what it is. We've been there at least 10 times with only one item that was mildly disappointing. the pot pies, sandwiches, burgers. All great. Even the steak and fish. Their country fried chicken and mashed potatoes is the ultimate comfort food. I don't often order alcohol, but I love their light, crisp house ale and get it every time.Compared to most places now-a-days, the prices are good. I feel sorry for the reviewer who thought the Cracker Barrel across the street was better... they are somewhat similar, but OAH has more variety and is much better.
