    Great breakfast spot when departing Hilton Head. Food was fresh and excellent. Service was quick. Best for small parties of 4. Bread pudding was delicious.

    Cajun crawfish omelet with cheesy grits

    Found this gem through Yelp while traveling in Bluffton for a family reunion. The cafe was New Orleans themed pictures and decor all around. It was tough for me to decide what to order and I ended up getting the Cajun omelet with crawfish, and cheesy grits. Super tasty, they don't skip on the crawfish either. The grits were perfect and I contemplated getting order of it Overall a great experience!

    Ugly egg burrito and cheese grits

    This has to be one of the best brunch places I've been to since we moved here. It's a very small cafe with a New Orleans vibe with a nice jazzy background. The inside was great. Just a few tables with easy jazz playing and it was easy to make conversation without having to raise your voice. The service was great, they were very attentive and nice. Now to the reason we go out. The food was incredible. They have a wide selection of southern style Cajun foods and they all look and sound amazing. I picked the ugly egg burrito. It was wonderfully made and has great flavor. The presentation was top notch for a 13$ meal. It filled me up! Wife got the veggie omelette. She was very satisfied. She even tried some of my cheese grits for the first time and they were great! I can't recommend this place enough. It's small tho so call ahead or go early.

    1/9/22 menu.

    Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood, Hilton Head, SC…read more Food: We ordered the fried shrimp basket and fried flounder basket. The shrimp basket came with Cajun fries also ordered side order of spicy, garlic corn. The shrimp were surprisingly big, lightly breaded and served hot. The fried flounder plate came with sweet potatoes fries. The flounder was lightly breaded and hot. Service: Had a great waitress was great friendly and polite. Ambiance: I just love the decor, fishing nets, fish, sharks and overall seashore vide.

    BOMB seafood boil! This is THE spot for flavorful, tasty, and fresh seafood…read more Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the hosts and seated. Our food came out pretty quickly after ordering and I appreciated that our server asked if we wanted the flounder basket brought out before or at the same time as the seafood boils. Our server was very attentive and checked up on us several times to ensure our food was good, our drinks were refilled, and that we had everything we needed. We were given an abundant amount of gloves and utensils. I appreciated the quality of the "bibs," as they were much sturdier than ones at other cajun seafood places. We were very happy with the food and service. All of the seafood was very fresh, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the scallops were as that's not typically something I order at these kinds of restaurants. Definitely order the Hook & Reel special blend to get the most flavor and you won't regret it. We opted for the spicy level and it was perfect- spicy good flavor, but not overwhelmingly hot. The shrimp were huge and the crawfish were pretty big, considering the fact that they're small in size to begin with. The fries were fried to perfection and the flounder was delicious too. HIGHLY recommend this spot. The food and service were superb! This was the only restaurant I could find in that area with crawfish, as all other restaurants had shrimp and crab only. Our order: x 2 lbs crawfish x 2 lbs shrimp w/ head off x 1/2 lb scallops x 1/2 lb black mussels x fried flounder basket w/ cajun fries

    This restaurant isn't in a touristy area at all -- we actually just happened to stumble upon it…read morewhile riding our bikes around lunchtime. 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.

    This is an absolute must if you are in the area. Been coming here for years when I'm on the island…read more The food is fantastic and is reasonably priced for the quantity and quality. The service is attentive and helpful. If you are having difficulty in choosing between a few dishes they will help you choose. The surroundings are a bit loud but honestly the quality of food overcomes the hectic ambiance. I had the Greek salad and the grouper. It was fantastic.
