Food: Brisket: thin sliced. Did not love that and unevenly smoked. Flavor reminded me of roast beef cold cuts. Smoked chicken: reminds me of smoked rotisserie chicken, pretty good Pulled pork: on its oh decent flavor, tender Ribs: pretty good, very charred Cheddar, jalepeno Corn bread: it tasted smoked which wasn't my personal favorite. Didnt really taste the jalepeno or cheddar cheese. But still yummy Mac and cheese: not great, no flavor, watery. Cole slaw: don't think it's homemade, tastes like the mass produced grocery store. Bbq sauces: all yummy and really unique. They provide all of them with your order which was great. Would've loved one with lots of spice most were on the sweeter side. French fries: wish they vented the to go container, because obviously they got soggy. We had the option to reheat, and reheat they're great! Really yummy would go back to have them fresh out of their fryer because I bet they're unbelievable. Service: ordered online, easy pick up, pleasant interaction Ambiance: very casual, going for that easy going vibe read more

This was our first time here after finding it on YELP. When we first pulled into the parking lot it was kinda empty. We entered and there was a family eating their meal, however after we placed our order folks started coming and by the time we received our order it was really busy. This made us feel good about our food. The staff was friendly and when we got home and started eating we realized that this was a great decision to try Bullies. read more

First time here was in 2015 and anytime I come to visit I make it a huge song and dance about how much I love this place. The ribs paired with a mix of Texas sweet and slow burn bbq sauce is just perfect. I've taken friends here who are meh about any kind of bbq and they come out huge fans of bullies. Always grab a bottle of their dry rub because sadly I live on the other side of the country and can't come here often enough. Everyone eating here is always smiling with sauce and seasoning on their face. The staff have always been sweet and food comes out quick. I love bullies and will not listen to anyone's bullies slander if that even exists read more

Had to update - we stopped in again this year. They have restored my faith. It was great, not greasy. Fries and coleslaw were great, and the brisket was delicious! My wife and I were very happy! read more

Delicious food! My husband, the family barbecue lover, says it might be the best barbecue he's ever eaten. We ordered ribs without sauce and just dry rub and it had such a great char on them and they were very tasty. The barbecue sauce with basil and rosemary we enjoyed on the side and is absolutely delicious. Brisket was yummy also. Tender and juicy. They had actually run out of it, but went back and pulled more out for our family and other guests. The collards and Carolina slaw were also divine. Everything we ate was delicious. Also, the employees were friendly, patient, accommodating, and knew the food well. Great experience and we will be back. read more

Good BBQ but limited menu for lunch. Offer 4 BBQ sandwiches with side choices if you want one. Sandwiches require additional sauce. They are big on a white bun. Sandwich's are good but not outstanding. Dinner menu offers many more with good choices. Easy method to order , pay & pick up at counter. Prices are reasonable. Parking great & close. Inside is small with limited tables with some like bar seats at windows. read more

Delicious food. I got the Friday special (3 sliders, pork chicken and beef brisket) and it was amazing. The flavor profile on all theee meats was except. The house made sauces are also unique (unlike some BBQ places) and compliment the food nicely as well. read more

Food was very good and the chicken / pork and ribs were very tasty. Be aware that dry rub on the ribs was super salty but still very good. Not a lot of tables so you may have to either take it to go or wait. The service was good but you order and pick it up from the counter. Good atmosphere and people sign their names in the wall. read more

We've tried the barbecue all over the island and in Bluffton and have found nothing comparable to bullies. The rib special on Wednesday cannot be beat. $24 for a full rack? The four of us also ordered sandwiches and some sides, and we could not eat everything so happily leftovers are in our future. The ribs fell off the bones. Our daughter and son-in-law smoke their own meats, and could not believe how much they enjoyed them. My daughter-in-law said they were better than their own. The pulled pork is out of this world, and our son-in-law devoured his brisket sandwich. Favorite sides include the beans and the french fries, which I never order. But I did share some of my husband's. The Service at the counter was great, and I apologize for not getting the associate's name but he was friendly and efficient. We took the food to go, but the interior is really cute. Already looking forward to the next time. read more

Got the family meal deal. Ribs are amazing and I like the thin cut brisket. Cool little spot. Little hard to find the correct driveway.

Not much chicken on the sandwich. The Mac and cheese lacked taste and disappointed in the greens. The service was terribly long, order was just not successful. Very surprised. read more

Most amazing brisket I have ever had. I was never a fan of brisket until I had Bullies. Tender, moist and tasty. On top of that the sandwiches are large enough that you either split one or it satisfies a very hungry man. Check it out! read more

Great BBQ chicken. Visited last weekend. Service is great and friendly folks to answer all your questions. My sides were awesome too ( baked beans). read more

First time there-we are vacationing from PA. They should get 10 stars just for the fact they love French bulldogs. Plus they have pics of the dogs-what's not to love?! We did enjoy the brisket dinner, mac and cheese, and Cole slaw. We also got the chicken sandwich with fries and cornbread. We had a good assortment of sauces so everyone in our party of 4 was happy with the selections and our meals. They had outdoor picnic tables, but it was hot outside so we ate indoors where it was cool. Ordering was easy-there's a sign where u place your order and then they call your name for pickup. I am guessing this restaurant would be a fave with locals. read more

Great BBQ! We usually get pulled pork by the pound, which is nicely shredded, moist but not greasy. The sauces are really good as well. They have mustard (SC), vinegar (ENC) , sweet (TX) and hot (??). They didn't give us pickles or bread or anything besides sauce with the meat by the pound. We asked for buns and got the tiniest little buns that were like slider size. Not sure what was going on there. Can't speak to the sides but the BBQ itself is well worth the money. You can eat there but it's pretty basic. We usually get to go and it is delicious! read more

Best barbecue on Hilton Head! So glad they are back. Love their brisket and their ribs. Good beans and cold slaw.

Good BBQ close to Shelter Cove. Service was quick. Inside is pretty basic but clean. The brisket was thinly sliced and flavorful. There was some fat, but no more than other BBQ places. Corn bread was a little more spicy than I like. Baked beans were very flavorful. Potato salad was good. Rolls were great, but the bottom layer was soaked by the time I got home with carry out. Price was a little higher than I expected. Overall good, but not quite 5 stars. read more

Don't short change customers on their pound of brisket! We asked for a pound of brisket which they sold in a small covered plastic take-out container...they claimed 1 lb. We weight it at home and it was only .8 lb!! We will NOT be coming back! With so many other decent BBQ places (One Hot Mamas) to pick from, why should we?! We used to always get our ribs & brisket from Bullies but now may only get their ribs...maybe.... read more

Bullies BBQ - This is NOT 1lb of brisket!! Only 0.8lb even with container!! - Barbeque Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Bullies BBQ - Brisket sandwich, green beans, Mac & cheese, creamy slaw - Barbeque Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

When I heard Bullies had been reopened by the original owner, I was hopefully optimistic. I had originally been there several years ago when I first started coming to HHI from Memphis, TN where the BBQ is legendary. FWIW, I was a certified BBQ judge and I can be critical. I was very pleasantly surprised that Bullies produced outstanding Memphis style ribs! My second visit was not a good one and I determined that there was no need to return. Must have been the "new" owners. Very pleased to report that the ribs are as good, if not better, than they have ever been! I don't go to a BBQ joint for the sides, but will say that the coleslaw very good - creamy with just enough sugar to make it tasty. Tastes in collard greens are very personal, so I won't comment on those, but you should try them yourself and see what you think. And I never order French fries at a BBQ joint and I wouldn't change my mind here, but they may be better on site than they were after a 10 minute ride in the car. Bottom line? Bullies puts out competition class ribs on par with the best in Memphis - get yourself in there soon! read more

Ok BBQ that was adequate but after eating so much amazing BBQ on our road trip through The South I just can't give it more stars since while probably being considered good BBQ on Hilton Head Island, this was our least favorite BBQ of our entire trip. The pulled pork was good but served kind of cold/lukewarm despite us eating inside at the restaurant and arriving just 10 minutes after they opened. They offer 5 sauces but they have them pre-poured into tiny itty bitty containers and limit you on how many tiny containers you get depending on what you order. We got 3 tiny containers for buying the pulled pork in bulk by the pound and then you have to pay more money like 75 cents a little container if you want more which is annoying for people like me who like sauce. Although... the sauces weren't very delicious so I didn't feel the need to buy more in the end anyway! We chose: Texas Sweet - touch of citrus, pineapple & brown sugar which was my favorite sauce here but it wasn't amazing Carolina Mustard - the classic Carolina sauce but it was just ok compared to others we've had - a bit bland Carolina Vinegar - very liquidy like straight vinegar but surprisingly tasted watered down so maybe watery from water? I expected more of a punch from a vinegar sauce since I like vinegar The sides weren't very good: -Flavorless/bland Mac & cheese - the worst side we ordered we couldn't even taste a trace of cheese it tasted like just flour/water on boiled noodles -Meh coleslaw not very flavorful despite being vinegar based -Beans that were ok and at least had more flavor than the other sides but not great -The jalapeño cheddar cornbread though was outstanding! By far the best thing we ate here and the only thing I can recommend read more

The food was absolutely delicious, brought out a 5 person meal in a timely fashion as well. Nice service and great food

Amazing ribs! So tender and tasty! I tried the sweet bbq sauce which I loved.the fries were tasty as well but the ribs steal the show!

This location is counter service and the staff was super friendly! We went later in the day and as you'd expect, some items were sold out for the day. So if you want something for sure - head in early. We were still able to get what we wanted! The pulled chicken was moist and flavorful. The ribs were huge and just the slight tug to pull off the bone - perfection! The choice of sauce was great - I went more tropical and my husband LOVES the Carolina mustard sauce. We split a 2 meat combo and had more than enough. They offered great family combos too if you are feeding 4+ people. read more

Bullies BBQ - Pulled chicken, ribs, fries, mac n cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

We really wanted to love Bullies BBQ and had high expectations, but it ended up being our least favorite place during our time at HHI. We just had so much good food and our experience here was just meh. We absolutely loved how casual it was. You order at a counter and get some cheap BBQ in mins, but the food itself was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it was nothing to write home about. I had the brisket sandwich and it was dry and quite bland. I've had much better BBQ in other places in HHI. My partner had similar thoughts when it came to his pork sandwich. The mac&cheese had no flavor at all. If you're looking for a quick meal, make sure to stop by, but don't expect anything major. read more

This place was great! Bullies BBQ was very tasty and a great vibe. The food was very tender and tasty, and the sauce was so good I had to take 7 extra containers of it! All around a great place for the family. If you're in Hilton head island HEAD OVER TO BULLIES BBQ RIGHT NOW!!!! read more

I love the decor and feeling of the whole place. The food alone would make this place a 5 star but the whole experience makes it my favorite on the whole island! The service was fast and the workers are very nice and even helped recommend some sauces. Love this place and I just added a new go to spot on the island! read more

I got takeout from Bullies on a whim, after reading some of the reviews. I arrived in time for a late lunch and they were still pretty busy but I had great, kind service. Ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich, a couple of sauces, Mac 'n cheese and the jalapeño cornbread. My favorite part was the cornbread. It was some of the best I've had! The bread was so moist (more like a cake than cornbread) and full of flavor. The jalapeño flavor really came through and it was delicious, especially with a little spread of butter. My least favorite was the Mac n cheese but that was just personal preference. It was more like an Alfredo than a cheese but read more

Brisket. Amazing. Serving. Amazing. I heard all the stories about this place. Good and the worst. Went back this trip because we heard the original owner had gotten involved again. What a difference. The place was even cleaner this time too. Only two negatives. Maybe cut back a little on salt. Your past reputation seems to have hurt your business. As it should. However anyone that reads this review should know you have fixed any last issues. Would highly recommend it now. read more

We stopped in for lunch takeout. The people were friendly and allowed us time to scope the menu. They have plenty seating areas but we just wanted to head back to hotel. We chose the full slab of ribs (it is a dry rub but there's about five sauces to choose from) with a side of cornbread (3 pieces) and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was really cheesy and tasty; wish it came with more of a portion as a side. Ribs were delicious, especially with the slow burn sauce. It was hot but after the initial kick, you'd get used to it. Nice little spot not too far from the hotel area. read more

THE BEST BBQ EXPERIENCE MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE EVER HAD! You cannot leave Hilton Head island without eating at Bullies BBQ! Liz was amazing and went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of. Jeff was kind and knowledgeable. The brisket was MELT IN YOUR MOUTH DELICIOUS. Sides were fantastic. Sauces were out of this world. It was everything I wanted in a southern BBQ experience. read more

Bullies BBQ - Brisket dinner with cord bread, mac, and greens - Barbeque Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Summary: A casual spot with satisfactory BBQ and indoor and outdoor dining. For six seniors with various diet issues, eating out presents challenges. Meat is the thing we all agree on and Bullies supplied the need. Pulled pork was smoky, pulled chicken was moist, and brisket was tender. I prefer more smoke in brisket but enjoyed the thin, bacon like slices. Our sides included a creamy coleslaw, mac and cheese with smoked Gouda, hot and crisp fries, "kickin" collard greens, and jalapeño cheddar cornbread. I'm not sure what the kickin was supposed to be in the greens because there was no heat nor dominant spice. The greens were somewhat bland and leafy. The cornbread also had no discernible jalapeño heat. Meats are served dry (unsauced) but five sauce options are options. Orders are placed and picked up at the counter. We arrived shortly after 6pm on a Saturday and immediately placed our orders, which came up minutes later. read more

Bullies BBQ - Five sauce choices (served in the side). - Barbeque Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

GREAT FOOD! Moist but not fatty brisket. Best BBQ Baked Beans ever. Collard Greens 100%. read more

Very good bbq chicken and pulled pork. The brisket is sliced thin and very good. This doesn't compare to KC BBQ but all of the meat is so moist and perfectly cooked. I also loved the slow burn sauce, but found most of their sauces on the thin/runny side. The fries are AMAZING!!! The cornbread was moist and delicious and savory (not sweet). Only gripe is that they list their phone number for take out orders, but then put their phone off the hook. I drove over to order and had to wait which is fine, but much less convenient especially during covid. I later learned they take pick up orders via door dash - see photo below! Would be back any time I'm in the area and would like BBQ! read more

Best que in the shoe! Expensive, but great! I like all the sauce choices. Collard greens are the best side:)

Excellent brisket, some of the best we've ever had. Tender and moist. Great jalapeño cornbread. flavorful with awesome texture. Friendly and quick service. Loved the pictures of the French bulldogs on the walls. Will definitely be back if we're ever in Hilton Head again. read more

I have to say we had a terrible experience at this establishment. The restaurant supposedly closes at 8pm. We came in at 7pm and ordered the meal for 3 people. The female employee stated that she would give us all 3 types of sauce with the food when my wife told her we only wanted mild sauce. The employee rudely looked at her like she was insulted. Then my wife said she wanted just water at which time she was told she could get it herself even though there was bottle water behind her in the cooler. When my wife indicated she wanted the bottle water she handed it over like she had been put out of her way. Then after paying for the food she told us they close at 7:45pm which is 15 minutes before closing. We sat down to wait for our food and about 5 minutes later she told us there wasn't any brisket left. I find it hard to believe she didn't know this before she took our money. Then the male employee locked the door at 7:30pm now 30 minutes before closing time. We felt like they wanted us to leave so we took the food to go home. (Nothing like feeling you're being thrown out). Once back home we opened the bag and couldn't believe how small the portions were to supposedly feed 3 people. It was a joke!! The food was barely warm and to tell the truth, the worse bbq we've ever had. Extremely rude employees and terrible food makes this a restaurant I wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more
