Store front entrance, bar area, support artist postings, and warm fresh bread.
Marie B.

After a day at the beach, I was ready to enjoy a nice intimate dinner. Unbeknownst to me, many of the restaurants recommend reservations and were already booked for the evening. Aimlessly searching, I stumbled upon Catch 22. The menu looked great and it was on New Orleans Rd. It must've been fate so we gave them a call to inquire about dining. A nice gentleman stated that a table in front would be ready in 30 minutes. Perfect! A large parking lot and well-lit restaurant front. Beautiful decor, friendly patrons, professional staff, and cool ambiance. The nice gentleman on the phone so happened to be the owner Mr. Gary Duren. He showed great hospitality by making us feel welcomed, offering drink and food suggestions, and enlightening us on some Hilton Head history. Our server brought out hot fresh bread. I ordered a Key Lime and one of my favorites an Espresso Martini. Both were made perfectly. I ordered the Catch of the Day, with whipped mashed potatoes and their signature Hush Puppies. My food was hot and prepared fresh to order. No complaints. I enjoyed every bite and ate it all. Well-deserved mentions: Service was top-notch. It is locally owned and operated, and love that they supports artists. Highly recommend.

Beef Tips Au Poivre
Olivia Y.

We made a last minute reservation to eat at 5:30. They were gracious about us having a toddler with us (high chair available) and were extremely accommodating, with our sever Derrick even procuring some orange slices from the bar after our toddler got fixated on the lemon slices in the water... If you dine in before 6, they have some early bird specials that include salad plus the entree which are a great deal! My spouse got the beef tips au poivre and I had the sheepshead fish special which was delicious. I also had their crab chowder and my only complaint was that there were too many potatoes. Their bread and whipped butter were delicious and we may have gone through 2 baskets. It's a beautifully decorated moody restaurant and one we would rather not bring our toddler to if possible!

My husband and I were just turned away from this establishment, as the owners made it abundantly clear that our presence as people of color was HIGHLY unwelcome. There were SEVERAL people welcomed inside after us, who were dressed either similarly or FAR more shabbily than us, and being that this is a BEACH TOWN and there were no notifications regarding dress code on the website, we thought nothing of it. To be clear... this experience was disgusting, embarrassing, and he have NO intentions on simply "letting this go". Out of respect for our intelligence, though, we would request that owners forgo any half hearted apologies, explanations, expressions of welcoming environments of inclusivity, decrying of discriminatory practices, or announcements of proximity to people/organizations of cultural importance, as consistency in your messaging will ensure your patronage isn't sullied by any more unsavory characters.

Open up Pan-Seared Scallops and Ravioli
Boon C.

This restaurant is best selection near Hilton Head. Good chef skills, Romantic dinning, Early bird special can be found here. I would said go to their website search for their early dinning specials. The table decorated with crush seashells glass table top. We were serve with compliments bread and main dish accompanied Cesar salad. My dish is the Pan Seared Scallops and Ravioli. This dish come with sautéed onions, spinach and shiitake mushrooms. It also comes with spinach ravioli. The dish top with prosciutto creamy sauce. My wife dish is the Carolina Trout. The trout is dusted in cornmeal deep fried. My wife cannot take the onion and the exchange with grilled Brussels sprouts. It also serve with garlic potatoes and top with red pepper aioli. Food is perfect, service is good. Definitely recommend. I would said 4.5 stars.

Definitely check out Catch 22 if you're in Hilton Head! It has an elegant, old school vibe. Sit at the bar. Bartender Derek is a doll and has been there 20+ years. He's eaten everything on the menu except the tuna. He's full of stories and suggestions! We started with the crab and shrimp hush puppies with whipped butter and key lime sauce. These bad boys will make you hurt somebody! So decadent. I'm searching for the words. Just get them. They're unlike anything you've had. So satisfying and meaty with a hint of sweetness. We only got half an order, which was a good thing because the entrees would have stood no chance of being eaten. But ate them we did... The 8 oz. salmon filet was perfectly baked and served over an interesting five-grain salad which hit many notes from savory to tangy. It's topped with an apricot Sriracha glaze, which rounded out the flavors to include sweet with a little spice, and the lemon aioli drizzle added the needed citrus bite. The chef seems to really pay attention to detail and is so creative! He took the time to grill the half lemon served with my companion's dish which unfortunately I can't recall the name of. I do know it was a daily special. My companion was also allowed to change his vegetable to sautéed spinach, and the plating was beautiful. Finally, Y'ALL....the salted caramel pretzel brownie--the chef was clownin' with this one! It was pure sin. The brownie was so rich under the mound of fresh, creamy vanilla ice cream. It was a perfect bite with the saltiness from the pretzel crust in the bottom and the salted caramel drizzle. One bite and my companion and I just looked at each other speechless at how incredible this dessert was. Do yourselves a favor and try this place. A local musician we met at another bar recommended it to us. So glad we listened to him.

Daufuskie Hushpuppies
Julia M.

We went to Catch 22 for the first time last night. We enjoyed the food and the ambiance was good. Our server was attentive and helpful. So, we would definitely go back. We started with the Daufuskie Hushpuppies, which are stuffed with shrimp & crab. They were good with butter or the dipping sauce, which was slightly sweet and had a subtle citrus flavor. We would order these again. Hubs had the onion soup and I tasted it. It a different take on traditional French Onion Soup. Their version uses a chicken broth instead of beef (good for me since I don't eat beef). It included yellow & green onions as well as leeks & shallots. And was topped with swiss cheese & croutons. We both thought it was delicious! For our entree hubs and I both ordered the Cracked Pepper Tuna. It was shashimi grade tuna that was served rare & came with garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed spinich. It was very good although hubs was not a fan of the spinach, lol. We went on a weekday night before peak tourist season and they weren't too busy. But I imagine on weekends & peak season it gets much more crowded.

Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese
Madison S.

The service was fantastic! Derek was a terrific server and really rounded out the experience. The food was tasty and everyone in our large group enjoyed what they order, some of which included the brussell sprouts, onion soup, scallops and ravioli, beet salad, prime rib, daily catch, etc. We'll definitely be back!

Is there a dress code?

Island casual. I would not go for dinner in tank tops etc but definitely shorts and a nice top are ok. Just be aware that with air conditioning it can get a bit cool for some people.

We were recommended Fishcamp by a local here, and we were not let down! The location itself is…read moreabsolutely BEAUTIFUL! We were lucky to get seated outside because the live music and views were immaculate. The oysters were super fresh.. so fresh in fact we found a little crab in one of them. We got it replaced promptly by our friendly waiter for a new one! I got the scallop risotto. It was good but not my favorite. The sauce was creamy but somewhat bland, which allowed for the perfectly cooked scallops to shine. My mom got the seafood pasta which was fantastic and flavorful. We met the manager who made the effort to talk to and get to know us! If we are back in Hilton Head, we will be back here!

We went to all the popular places on the island like Dockside, Benny's, etc., but this was by far…read moreour favorite! The high-tops outside are great because they're completely covered, while the tables with umbrellas still get sun depending on where the sun is. They have several powerful fans outdoors plus the seating is comfortable with a great view of the trees, boat, and water. The crab punch cocktail was good, but the crab coconut rum tasted a little odd to me (their exclusive brand). I preferred the salty Chihuahua cocktail. All drinks are thankfully strong (everywhere else on the island they were weak). The Jalapeño hush puppies seem like they are made in-house, and they're very flavorful & crunchy. The hush puppies came with honey butter which was also amazing. The lunch grilled grouper fish taco was delicious & fresh. The salsa on it was very flavorful! The house-made potato chips are also great. Service was great (not rushed). They do need drink coasters (water was all over the table). We came back for dinner. They had live music. Abby& Taylor were the two different servers we had and they were both amazing. They did not rush us. The fried green tomatoes were very good with lots of pimento cheese and crunchy unlike the ones we had at Old Oyster Factory. The pineapple Mojito was good. Overall great experience!

The outdoor seating is a nice touch, with a mix of open-air tables and some covered spots at the bar for shade. The drink menu is decent, with plenty of tropical cocktails to choose from, though the beer selection is surprisingly limited for a place that stays this busy. Most of the service seems to run through the bar, and while the bar staff was friendly, upbeat, and doing their best despite being absolutely swamped, the table service was pretty spotty. The food menu is just okay--nothing terrible, nothing standout. I ordered the Caribbean Jerk Chicken sandwich at lunch, and unfortunately it did not sit well with me at all. It upset my digestive system enough to derail one of my vacation days, which definitely colored the experience. One thing that stood out was the presence of armed security guards. Not necessarily a problem, but it does create a different atmosphere than you might expect from a casual beachfront bar. Many reviews have mentioned the parking. We stayed at the hotel, so it wasn't an issue for us but somebody sitting next to me at the bar was ejected by management for something related to parking. I'm not sure of the exact details because I couldn't hear the conversation well, but it seemed to have to do with either buying or selling a parking pass with someone else. There was another incident where an unruly patron had the police called on them after engaging with one of the aforementioned security guards. That said, these seemed to be atypical of the total experience. Overall, it's an entertaining spot for drinks and music, but the unpleasant food experience land it at a middle-of-the-road three stars for me.
