    Brontosaurus Rib

    Our experience at Poseidon was OK at best. Our sever was really nice, and so was the owner (or manager?) who came by to check on us. The food was average, and definitely overpriced. Out of our party of 7, items from 3 of our meals were forgotten. The duck wings as an appetizer were definitely the best part of the meal. We had some get fried fish & some get broiled (can't exactly remember which fish specifically, in writing this a few days later) but the consensus was the fried seemed to be better. I guess in a touristy town and a restaurant like this we expected it be just okay, however $50 for this entree was disappointing.

    Upon the recommendation of our Omni Hilton Head shuttle driver we went to Poseidon. Greatest immediately by the server. He asked if we want inside or outside. We chose the outside bar with plastic roll down windows / wind barriers with a heater over our table. The waitress greeted us promptly and brought waters. We ordered drinks and sushi roll appetizer. Both couples chose to share surf and turf and mixed grill options. Both were delicious both with a filet cooked perfect medium. We visited the Rooftop Bar and Dueling Piano show for the next evening. We are looking forward to g forward to coming back tomorrow night at 7 pm for the show.

    Salmon entree

    I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious my meal was here at Poseidon! I got the salmon entree and it totally exceeded my expectations. The interior is large and very beach-decor heavy, and it tends to be a bit loud given the size. Our server was responsive and professional. Parking is available right out front!

    My waitress was so amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable of the menu! However, my food was soooo bland, I was so shocked because it was such a great vibe in the restaurant! The oysters were perfectly steamed but I was so disappointed in the deviled crab stuffed cod. The 3 stars were purely because the service was great. The cocktails also needed some tlc.

    Poseidon Restaurant in Hilton Head Island, SC outdoor bar.

    When visiting Hilton Head Island in SC, be sure to stop at Poseidon Restaurant for lunch or dinner. The restaurant has delicious seafood and steaks. They have a great Happy Hour from 4pm-7pm. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The upper deck has live music on the weekends. I'm giving this restaurant 4/5 out of 5! We recommend trying the following: -Fried Oyster Po'Boy -Poseidon Lobster Roll -Sushi rolls -Grilled fish tacos -Peachy Rocks Cosmos The restaurant is located at the Shelter Cove Towne Centre where there are shops, restaurants, and desserts etc. We had good service. Give this place a try! Happy Yelping :)

    We were craving good Seafood and that is what we got! The clams were fresh, chewy, and salty. Perfectly paired with bread to sop up the liquid to end the meal. The She crab had a tomato base and distinct taste. Definitely felt like eating straight from the ocean and meaning it in the best possible way. All the seafood that came were substantial, "meaty", pieces. The shrimp had a snap to it. The crab dip was addicting. The casserole had a nice texture with smashed Ritz crackers in it. We happened to be there on a Tuesday Night and dined on the Rooftop Level. At 9p, the server was so kind. She saw that we had young kids in our party and told us to take the kids out to the balcony area to see the Fireworks on the Island. She was so patient-- told us to take the kids to see the fireworks and would take our order after because she didn't want them to miss it. The gesture was super thoughtful. The service was really warm and hospitable. The Nautical theme of the restaurant was super cool. The light fixtures, signage, decor and Wall Art made you feel you were walking into a kingdom in the ocean. Super chic, hip and vibrant. The corner booth we sat at looked like we dined in the center of a seashell. I really enjoyed my experience there!

    Wow! This place is worth a stop. Come here for seafood. The New England clam chowda was delicious!! Just order it. I also ordered the island roll. It was good but over sauced in my opinion. I'd skip it in the future. Service was excellent and incredibly fast. I plan on coming back to order the seafood tower. I need more people to help me eat it though.

    Great Experience. Friendly and fast service. Food tasted great and portions were adequate. Atmosphere was nice. Great place to dine.

    Dueling pianos
    Elaine B.

    The 2 stars are for their food. It was pretty darn bad! Mac and cheese that was oily or greasy-not sure. A Margherita flatbread that was practically inedible the cheese was a question mark HOWEVER...the dueling pianos was so much fun. We stayed for hours and tolerated a few bites of food for the entertainment. It's a don't miss.

I was able to make a reservation through Yelp, and although our reservation was pretty late at 8 PM, we walked in and luckily grabbed seats at the bar instead. That ended up being the best part of the night. Both bartenders were absolutely amazing. One was incredibly knowledgeable about wine, while the other knew everything about spirits, so we ended up getting a mini education on all kinds of drinks and even did a little tasting. It made the whole experience so much fun and interactive. We eventually settled on a bottle of red wine and shared a filet mignon. I highly recommend ordering the potatoes because whoever prepares them is seriously talented. They were thinly sliced and stacked into this beautiful cake-like structure that completely melted in your mouth. Between chatting with the bartenders and the people sitting next to us, we ended up staying much longer than planned simply because we were enjoying ourselves so much. I honestly don't have a single bad thing to say about this place. It's more than just dinner -- it's an experience, and I highly recommend checking it out.

My friend had the short rib lasagne ($26). My meal was absolutely perfect, everything seasoned/flavored perfectly. My friend's dish looked a little heavy for me but she loved it, also. We chose a nice wine, I Googled it: Banfi Belnero is a premium Super Tuscan IGT wine from Castello Banfi in Montalcino, primarily crafted from Sangiovese blended with international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. It features a deep ruby color with notes of black cherry, plum, spice, and vanilla, offering a full-bodied, structured palate with balanced tannins. Enjoyed 2 glasses of it ($32)! We split the chocolate Pot de Creme ($10) for dessert, so good. The restaurant was crowded, as we went a dinner time. Were lucky to get a table, in the bar area, near the window. Our server was running by and I didn't mind at all calling out to him, as he didn't check on us as much as the table to next to us, who were regulars. Once they left, he honored us with his presence, actually lingered to explain the quality of the wine we chose. I enjoyed this visit, although I am spoiled on getting much better service in Dallas, but every time I visit the islands, I try to remember to focus on the food, company and atmosphere.

I ordered the sterling filet mignon medium rare with additional onions... For the few slices of onion I had it was not worth the six dollars. The steak was so disappointing- not cooked the way I requested and for a dinner with one beer totaling $75 I would consider a rip off! We considered going to a different steak restaurant but the reviews were comparable so we thought we would try wise guys. Big mistake. The only thing good about our experience was the warm bread with butter. Our server never asked us how our food was and was not attentive. We were there on a Tuesday night so not a busy crowd. I will never be back and would never recommend this Restaurant.

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.

Of course, we had to make it a priority during our trip. It was about an 18-minute drive, and when we arrived, there was a huge amount of parking available. The area is set up with about four different restaurants all next to each other, so you definitely have options if you want to grab drinks or even bar hop a little. Since everything is located right on the water, all of the restaurants have really nice views. Hudson's was located all the way to the left and had more of its own private parking area closer to the entrance. The atmosphere felt like a laid-back, rugged seafood bar with plenty of seating inside and outside on the deck. If you're lucky enough to grab a seat at the outdoor bar, I'd highly recommend it. Unfortunately, it was packed when we visited, so we ended up sitting at the inside bar instead. Even sitting inside, there was a lot of entertainment between the bartender and the guy cracking stone claws behind the bar. We ordered a bucket of local oysters, which turned into an experience all on its own. This was actually my first time shucking my own oysters at a restaurant, and since many of them were stuck together, it made the whole thing even more fun and interactive. We also shared a she-crab soup that was creamy, thick, and absolutely delicious--10 out of 10 recommend. They also offer frozen drinks if you're looking for something more refreshing than a typical beer, and we ended up trying a few local beers while we were there as well. The only confusing part of the visit was finding the women's restroom, which is oddly located right next to the hostess stand, while the men's restroom is all the way in the back. Overall, this was such a fun experience. Sitting around shucking oysters, drinking local beer, and enjoying the waterfront atmosphere all afternoon is definitely my kind of Saturday.
