    Maple waffles and bacon
    India M.

    The Sunday brunch! Went to Sunday brunch on our way out of Hilton head and was not disappointed! I got the maple waffles and bacon and it was the greatest waffle i ever had in my life..first off it came off fresh out the griddle with warm syrup and butter on it AND bacon bit bit pieces in the waffle. Man i wanted to go and shake the chefs hand it was that good. And the service was great as well. Our server routinely checked on us and made us feel welcome. Will 10000000% be returning when we travel back

    Poseidon came through for breakfast. The staff had that warm, easy vibe that makes you feel taken care of, and my Gulf Coast Omelette was genuinely delicious -- bright flavors, perfect texture, no notes.When you're in HHI, it's absolutely one of the stronger breakfast picks.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had an awesome early dinner out on the covered patio during the rain.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We enjoyed Narraganset beer with our $1 oysters! We also added some chips and Pimento cheese dip which was super yummy too. For dinner we had a wedge salad, she crab soup, and Maine salad. All were delicious. David the manager stopped by the table and he was super friendly along with the waitress. Would go back when we return

    We brought the whole family out to enjoy Poseidon while on vacation on HHI, and it did not disappoint. Service was friendly and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was absolutely fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was delicious...shecrab bisque? Phenomenal. I also really enjoyed the drink menu options. We even tried a thc-based drink. Overall, a place I'd definitely come back to. Can't wait to return to try the rooftop bar as well!

    Blue Crab Dip

    We stopped here while sightseeing on a hot summer day for a break to have a snack and something to drink. We had wine and beer and shared a blue crab dip appetizer. The drinks were refreshing and hit the spot. We enjoyed the dip. The service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat at the outdoor bar and had a view of Broad Creek in the distance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Perfect to kill some time while our condo was getting ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sat outside, great view of the water.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mojitos, strawberry margarita (did not know it was jalapeño infused tequila). Calamari and pimento cheese were super yummy. Excellent service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really cool bar area with lots of seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Fried Green Tomato Caprese
    Laurie G.

    I went to Poseidon based on recommendations from a gluten free app I use for restaurants. I would consider this a more casual dining restaurant due to the volume of the restaurant and how busy it seemed. I was seated right away without a reservation. I ordered the fried green tomatoes caprese and the blue crab dip with a glass of wine. The crab dip was creamy and very good. I prefer a little more crab and a little less cream but the taste was on pointe. The fried green tomatoes were a little hard and not as tasty as I expected. The beet, goat cheese salad with fried oysters was perfect. They all paired very nicely together and I was very excited to have gluten free fried oysters. I can't wait to return to try more of their menu. My waitress was also very accommodating and helpful with the menu and suggestions.

    Poseidon's rooftop and experience were rated #1 in South Carolina one time and I truly see why! The experience, the food, the frozen strawberry daiquiris.... OUT OF THIS WORLD AWESOME!!!!!! You'll want to make sure you book a reservation early and check to see when they have shows, because it's truly a fun time! The views outside are beautiful too!

    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.

    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.

    Will be visiting in Sept (from Knoxville, TN) Are they still doing Happy Hour?

    Yes, but you can only get the happy hour specials if you sit in the bar section of the restaurant. We went for the happy hour specials but didn't know this, so they sat us in the main dining area. Then, when we asked for the happy hour menu they… 

    Can kids older than 12 order off the kids menu? I have teenagers who still eat like kids.

    We had two 14 year olds in our party and they were allowed to order from the kid's menu. No questions asked.

    $7 cover per person to 'pay for the cover band' at 8pm? The band isn't playing yet. There's more employees up here than guests. Lovely sunset and creek views. Nice outside seating that's covered. But the cover? Before Memorial Day? Poor form.

It doesn't feel corporate or manufactured at all. More like you've stumbled into somebody's lovingly chaotic backyard dinner party where the food just happens to be genuinely top-tier. The mismatched charm, handwritten feel, and warm atmosphere are part of what makes it so special. There's this brilliant contrast between the laid-back hole-in-the-wall vibe and the seriously refined cooking coming out of the kitchen. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were incredibly tender, fried perfectly, and drizzled with a lovely house-made ranch. The sweet house pickles alongside were such a good touch. We also each had a cup of she crab soup which was beautifully seasoned and packed with tonnes of crab morsels. For mains, we shared the shrimp and grits and completely understood why the recipe has won awards, including being recognised as the 3rd best in the world. The recipe is rooted in traditional Lowcountry cooking but elevated with layers of flavour that somehow still feel comforting and homemade. The grits were unbelievably creamy, and the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked with fantastic flavour throughout. We also split the seafood purloo with blackened grouper, and it was equally impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh without trying too hard to be fancy. What really made the experience though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond. They took time to chat with us about the area, paced the courses perfectly so nothing felt rushed, and by the end we were leaving with handshakes feeling more like guests than customers. Places like this are getting harder to find. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lowcountry food served by genuinely wonderful people.

The location itself is absolutely beautiful, sitting right on the water with an enormous amount of outdoor seating. We decided to sit inside at the bar, which had huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water, and we were even lucky enough to spot a couple of dolphins playing nearby. The first thing I noticed when we sat down was the massive selection of oysters displayed on ice. Even better, it was happy hour and all oysters were half off, so naturally I ordered a dozen and let the bartender choose the best ones for me. Every single one was fresh and delicious. We also shared a she-crab soup that was packed with flavor and had the perfect texture. Earlier in the trip we had ordered she-crab soup somewhere else and it was watery and disappointing, so this one definitely made up for it. The restaurant was pretty quiet during the daytime, although the bartender mentioned it gets much busier at night. Before leaving, we walked outside along the dockside of the building toward the front and saw the massive covered outdoor seating area overlooking the water. It definitely feels like the kind of place that comes alive at night, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have live music as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

Nothing we ordered really stood out. I know it's called the Old Oyster Factory, but we didn't order any. We mainly in because it was on the Island Bucks list. The fried green tomatoes had a good flavor, though the plate looked sparse with only three pieces. A fourth would have made the dish seem more complete. The flounder sandwich was under-seasoned and the "fresh fruit" did not live up to its name. The calamari came as small rings that were kind of chewy rather than crisp. Although not a lump crab crab cake it was mostly crab and had a good flavor. It was served with a scoop of potatoes and broccolini. The broccolini was very limp and had absolutely no flavor. We heard it's a great place to catch the sunset, but based on our meal, we would more than likely not visit again.

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!
