    #18 Calibogue (ham, turkey, bacon)
    Lauren E.

    Delicious!! Idk how they bake the bread but it's so fluffy and soft. I got the #18 (ham, turkey, bacon) and definitely should have gotten the half. They load it so full that the size is deceiving! I powered my way through about 3/4 of the sub and now I need to lie down. Definitely will return!

    Stu's!

    I absolutely love Stu's, and they have the best sandwiches of all time. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a cute beachy/nautical theme. I try to eat at Stu's multiple times when I come to Hilton Head for vacation. I love their meatball sub and the islander. Their bread is super tasty and addicting, they must make it fresh daily. The sandwich ingredients are always fresh and delicious. If you want a good sandwich, go to Stu's!

    I came here passing through with a party of 17 people while visiting Hilton Head. We were just looking for a quick bite. To be honest, I was very hesitant to come here because I thought it'd be hectic to have a bunch of people sit in their restaurant and order. The restaurant isn't too big but it seated all of us comfortably. The staff was super kind and handled all our orders like a pro! We even found out one of the staff members was from Toronto like myself. The sandwiches came out super fast which was great since I was starving. Now onto the food. I got the calibogue. My partner and sister got the WOW tacos with some gumbo. The main thing that makes this sandwich special is the bread. It was so fluffy and soft. It really elevated the entire meal. I think I can say that this was the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. I know it may seem like a basic sandwich, but the portions and quality of ingredients really stand out. I hope I can come here again in the future.

    Pork taco

    This taco was absolutely delicious. I know it looks a bit messy and granted, it is BUT it was worth it and so well made. The pork was soft and the toppings seemed very fresh. It came with a side of salsa that also paired well with the taco. We walked in with a party of 17 people and the establishment was so accommodating and welcoming which made the experience one of the best I've had during my time in Savanah. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

    Man oh man, don't think I've had a better sub! I tried a turkey/bacon one and my word it was delish. I got it toasted and that made it absolutely amazing. I walked in and was greeted by the friendly man behind the register who I later found out his name was Matt. He was amazing. He gave me a run down of the menu and some recommendations once I told him my first time there. Once I got my food and sat down to enjoy he checked on me plenty of times and remembered my name. Great food and even better customer service thanks to Matt.

    The Beach Club - Stu's bread is the key ingredient to their awesome subs!
    Kristine K.

    Every time that I visit the island, Stu's is a MUST visit. The bread is made freshly in house (literally you can see them back there making it when you walk in), which is the difference maker. A standard sandwich is 8" and packed with meats/toppings, and unless you are really hungry, I suggest sharing it. There are lots of sandwich options from hot to cold deli meats and vegetarian. Service is from a counter, but there is a nice sized seating area if you choose to dine in. Usually, we take ours to go to enjoy at the beach or pool.

    #10 add honey mustard and salami
    Maya R.

    So amazing. A hidden gem. This place was so busting. We got the #10 (add honey mustard and salami) and the #12. The toppings were fresh, and the service was quick. Will definitely be back!!

    Just had one of those "how is this place not packed every night?" experiences at Annie O's…read moreKitchen... and wow, I'm still thinking about it. Debbie and I stopped in about an hour before closing, not expecting much--just a quick bite. What we got instead was hands down one of the best seafood meals I've had in a long time. First off, we met the owner, Jim Scully--absolute legend. Friendly, genuine, and actually takes the time to sit and chat. You just don't see that anymore. Great conversation, great energy... set the tone right away. Now let's talk FOOD... * Fried oysters & shrimp - ridiculously good. Light, crispy, not greasy at all. You can tell everything is top quality. * Coleslaw - vinegar-based, shredded, and honestly reminded me of proper German kraut salad. Perfect balance with the seafood. * Soft shell crab... alright, this is where things got serious. "It was like a circus in my mouth... just an explosion of flavors." I'm not exaggerating. The texture was creamy, not oily, and the batter was just perfect. One of those bites where you just stop and look at each other like... yep, this is special. On top of that: * Everything is made with high-quality ingredients * Prices are very reasonable for what you're getting (honestly, some places charge double for worse) * BYOB (bring your own wine/beer = big win ) * Huge menu--seafood, ribs, BBQ, pulled pork, chicken, desserts... you name it Final verdict: (three thumbs up from Debbie & me) If you're in Hilton Head and even thinking about seafood--this is a hidden gem you don't want to miss. We'll 100% be back.

    Oceanside Bar and Grill - Club sandwich with onion rings

    This poolside restaurant is also open for non-members of the Hilton Grand Vacations Club, which was…read moregreat for us because we are not members but had heard some good things about this place from other Yelpers. We got there and it is literally an outdoor bar and grill. The ocean air was blowing nicely and it felt good. We grabbed a menu from the cashier's area. Debi was super kind and she helped us get some lunch. We both ordered non-alcoholic smoothies - he got pins colada and I got mango, and he ordered a club sandwich with onion rings and I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap with chips. We paid for our meal and sat at a table overlooking the pool area. It didn't take long for Debi to bring our food out to us. The portions were really large for a lunch, and the food tasted amazing. We got two ice cream cups from the freezer (creamy and refreshing) and some water to go. Debi asked us to come back, and we may get a chance to go back before we leave town. It's pricey - cost us almost $70.00 for two people - but the portions made it worth it.

    I came in for an early dinner and it was chilly so I ordered soup and sandwich, specifically chili…read moreand grilled cheese! The chili is some of the best I have had, except my own. It truely was pretty awesome. It came in a sizable bowl and was just the right temperature, too. The grilled cheese not so much. It was good but had only one measly slice of cheese. It could definitely use one more piece. I ordered the Mexican corn and there was nothing Mexican about it. It was just canned corn that had been scorched a little with no seasoning at all. The waitress was kind enough to take it off the bill. I like this restaurant atmosphere. It has a pretty good menu and a full bar. The service was great too!
