Having a shelter for the band would've gone a long way toward ensuring that bands don't cancel. Not professional on their part either . Our Smashburger was great, and enjoyed the happy hour drinks. But the price of appetizers has gotten completely out of control. We used to come to the Black Marlin all the time, but happy hour is not nearly as fun as it used to be and the prices are getting ridiculous. So sharing a burger and having a couple of glasses of wine sufficed. But offering better prices on appetizers and providing an atmosphere where the band shows up would mean more repeat customers. Unfortunately this is why we seek out the independent restaurants vs SERGE chain.

Most of the staff was extremely helpful with checking on things we didn't see on the shelves so I have to give them kudos for going above and beyond. When it came to paying or asking a question, our interaction was the opposite as we felt more like a burden vs a customer. All good, we made multiple trips and quickly learn who to ask for help :-) If we had more time, we definitely would of planned to take advantage of the group tasting. The selections in that area were great, some price points on champagne was slightly higher than expected, but glad they had on hand.

As an old fashioned snob, I can confidently tell you this is as good as it gets. The brown sugar simple really takes it over the top.

We came for the music, and it absolutely delivered but so did everything else. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed and encouraged to slow down, relax, and truly enjoy the experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was exceptional, and the entire evening felt special. I ordered the Duke Ellington ribeye, and without exaggeration, it was the best ribeye I have ever eaten. As ridiculous as it may sound, time seemed to stop for a moment. Every bite was packed with flavor that hit something deep inside me and took me back to simpler times. It was one of those rare meals that becomes a memory. The experience was so good it almost brought a tear to my eye. Not because it was fancy or expensive, but because the level of care, craftsmanship, and excellence put into that meal was something truly special. My wife ordered the pasta primavera and she described it as simple, light, but packed with flavor. We stayed for hours vibing to the incredible musicianship displayed. The warmth of the staff felt like family. Wish we were local so we could make this a regular date night spot. Thank you for an unforgettable evening. We'll be talking about it for a long time.

The staff continues to impress--attentive, warm, and they actually remembered us, which made the experience feel even more special. We even saw the young gentleman from Croatia again who had taken care of us on a previous visit--he was just as pleasant and even stopped by our table to say hello, which was such a nice touch. We dined later in the evening this time, and it was really special to see the staff, managers, and I believe even the owner all still there together. It felt less like coworkers and more like a family--which says a lot about a place. Food-wise, everything held up to our first visit (which is rare!). I couldn't resist and ordered the beef bourguignon again--still absolutely incredible. We also had escargot (note: it comes with béchamel unless you ask otherwise), and that amazing cassoulet loaded with different meats from the evening--it was spectacular. Safe to say this place is officially our favorite on the island... and yes, I'm still tempted to keep it a secret .

We were skeptical about a jazz dinner but from moment one entering the space we knew we were in for a treat. It is a very small and intimate space and our group of 6 got a table right by the stage. Our server was amazing and the menu was epic - everyone ordered something different and so I can't highlight one thing or the other because everyone loved it all. Don't skip out on the after dinner drinks and coffees as well! The performers we had really read the room and picked up on the energy and went through a mix of classics as well as modern like Adele. Everyone was having a great time and even singing along when encouraged. It was a great evening! Tip: Do the earlier show and get there early so you can enjoy your meal in time for dessert and cocktails and coffee once the show starts!!

We came for the early show/dinner and saw Deas Guyz on a Sunday, the music was incredible. I highly recommend seeing them if you can (they play The Jazz Corner every Sunday per the website). Our server was also helpful and great. Shows sell out, so make sure you grab tickets in advance on their website. For dinner, I had the Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail. The steak and lobster were a bit overcooked for my taste, but still tasty. The meal came with mashed potatoes and green beans, both cooked and seasoned perfectly. My mom had the halibut special, and the fish was definitely overcooked as well. For drinks, I had the TJC Hurricane with dinner and the Hershey's Kiss after. Both were probably the best drinks I've had in Hilton Head, strong and delicious. If you like something sweet and chocolatey, the Hershey's Kiss is a must, honestly better than dessert! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Hilton Head.

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.

Our entire experience was great from start to finish. Everything is done at your own pace and you have the choice of ordering your food/drinks at the bar or directly to your table. The décor on the inside was that of a typical sports bar. Plenty of games for the whole family to enjoy. The food was also clearly made fresh once ordered. The wings were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were also a huge success!! The jumbo pretzel was good but nothing to rave over. My wife gives high praise for the chicken club sandwich. The chicken was perfectly grilled and the focaccia bread was delicious! I also tried the cherry sour and it was very tasty. Overall our experience from start to finish was great! The food was good, the drinks were refreshing, and the time spent with family made it even better. We will definitely be returning and will recommend Local Legends to anyone visiting the area.

The service takes a little getting used to-- full service at the bar but ordering via the app at the tables. Once we got that squared away, it was a really easy meal. We had a big group and ordered a bit of everything- burgers, ribs, fish tacos-- everything came out quick, hot and mostly delicious. The ribs were a fan favorite, the Mac and cheese that comes with it was less so-- a little plasticky for our tastes. The fries were good, the beer selection was huge with some really fun options brewed in house. What I loved about this place was how welcoming it was and how it appealed to everyone. There were people on dates, families with young kids, groups of adults, families on vacations and solo folks at the bar. I highly recommend if you're in the area and want a nice, casual meal.

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.
