The second you walk in, it has that fun, laid-back vibe where you instantly feel like you're on vacation. The staff is genuinely friendly, the service is quick, and they make you feel welcome from the moment you sit down. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The chips and salsa disappeared way too fast, the portions were generous, and everything tasted like it was made to order. And let's talk about the margaritas... they are fantastic. Cold, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. It's one of those places where you can kick back, laugh with friends, and leave completely satisfied. Great food, great service, great margaritas, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

That was followed by a totally unique tuna bowl filled with a blend of Asian and Mexican flavors that caught my attention big time. Truly fresh and flavorful.

Searching for a dinner spot in Hilton Head near our Vacation rental…read more We came across this small shopping center with several restaurants but a few were closed. Fiesta Fresh was one of a few still open. Fairly roomy with several tables including some high tops. You place an order at the window and they bring your order to your table. While waiting you get a basket of tortilla chips. The food took a little longer than expected to arrive, but they were very busy. There is a self-serve condiment bar, which is so helpful. Selection is very limited with just a few Tex mex choices (tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc). My choice of flautas with Mexican rice and refried beans was decent. The burritos and chimichangas were also good. The prices were very reasonable.

For the first time, we noticed that the Fiesta Salads have gotten a little smaller. Just charge me a buck more and make them as large as before, please. But dining in near the soda and salsa bar gave us a glimpse we wish we didn't get. A kitchen worker refilled the ice on the soda dispenser, by placing the plastic cover/lid (which directly covers ice) Ice-side down on top of the trash receptacle next to the same counter. It made me wonder what could have been in my ice! Other than that, it was the same great food, good value, and "okay" eat-in experience (sticky tables) we've always enjoyed.

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.

First, the staff is so kind, quick, and happy to explain anything to meet your needs. For the food - some people describe it as a better chipotle, but I disagree. Java Burritos are their own thing and much better. The portions much larger, the quality of food much better, and the flavor is excellent. We got the Java special protein, which is a mix of queso sauce, sour cream, steak, and chicken, and it was amazing. The toppings also were fresh and the options were plentiful. For the coffee - we went with the iced crème brûlée lattes, it was excellent as well. It was the first latte I have had in a while that hit the perfect balance of not being too sweet while not being bitter. Very smooth!

The taco shells were really crispy, which I appreciated, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The service was quick, making it a great option if you're looking for a fast and casual meal. The ordering process is similar to Chipotle--you wait in line and choose what you'd like, whether that's a burrito, bowl, tacos, nachos, or a quesadilla, and then customize it with the fillings and toppings you want. Overall, it was a fun spot with a convenient setup and tasty food. I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm back in Hilton Head!
