Chow Daddy's - the name would suggest an old school barbeque joint or maybe a diner; but it is…read moreneither. 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.

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.

Dinner on Sunday night in Hilton Head. There are not too many spots open late but this one was…read moreclose by so we opted for it. Surprisingly roomy with two separate dining rooms and a third with a bar and more tables. Service was quick, but a little too quick. Our appetizer, salads and entrees all arrived at the same time crowding our little table. We ordered onion rings to start. Let me tell you: these were the best I've ever had. Positively delicious. But no sauce!!! So I made my own with ketchup and hot sauces. Chicken picata was good. Chicken a Parmesan and crab stuffed grouper were also ok. Salmon was decent. There was a huge selection of sandwiches and some yummy desserts. We all had a good meal. A little pricey for what got. But I still recommend.

We had never heard of Zunzibar before despite having been to Hilton Head a few times and are…read morethrilled we discovered it. We went for lunch, it was very slow, super chill, relaxed vibe. Perfect with a small child. I got the Johnny Chow sandwich. There's so much meat and the different meats really pair well together, the sausage and the chicken curry mix and it's absolutely delicious. Super creative sandwich too. Almost like an Indian cheese steak sandwich, but so elevated. Even the chips on the side are well seasoned and I don't normally like chips. Other great thing about Zunzibar is the sauces. They've got so many options and I loved that the Johnny Chow came with both the curry and the chutney. Had an amazing time, food was incredible, will definitely return next vacation.

Portions are generous, prices are fair for HHI, and that outdoor seating with marina breezes? Pure bliss for our bigger than usual group.

It was not oven baked; it was stove top cooked, which means it was creamy and loose. It should have been served in a small dish on the side of the fish. However, it was served splat on the serving tray; not very appealing. It did taste good though, but I wouldn't order it again. The ginger beer was also good. Service quick and efficient; the ambience was casual, clean and lively. Pricing very reasonable too.

We couldn't get the app to work for us to order ahead of our arrival. The cashier told us, after…read morewe picked up our order, to use the app because it was cheaper. In my opinion that is just plain wrong. The price should be the same regardless of how you order. It's one reason I never do business with them but it this case it was the only pizza option we could find in a place that makes it incredibly hard to find anything. We ordered some wings with BBQ sauce and they didn't give us any sauce at all. Consequently service here was very disappointing. Pizza was okay but the amount of toppings were light and not worth the price point.
