SEAFOOD / AMERICAN

RED FISH SEAFOOD & WINE by ANTHONY DAVID

Red Fish specializes in cuisine where an eclectic blend of seafood, steaks, fresh local fruit and vegetables are combined to make delectable American, and Lowcountry specialties. A contemporary black-and-white décor ensures that the focus is directed on the food and thanks to its sound-absorbing paneling, Red Fish is a refreshingly quiet restaurant. It’s easy to enjoy a relaxed conversation. Their menu features colorful steak and seafood, which can be prepared “naked” – grilled with olive oil, lime and garlic. Delight in Chilean sea bass with wasabi cream and soy glaze, ribs basted with a guava-orange barbecue sauce, shrimp and grits, or a vegetable strudel baked in a phyllo crust. The restaurant has an extensive wine list that has won Wine Spectator’s “Best of Award of Excellence.” Diners may browse the on-site retail wine shop, which boasts more than 1,000 bottles to choose from. Enjoy the wine with your meals or take a bottle home. Voted Best Wine Selection, Favorite Restaurant for Lunch, Best Burger, and Favorite Caterer by the readers of Hilton Head Monthly. Private dining room for large parties. Live music every Wednesday. Dine indoors or outdoors. Gluten-free items offered as well as a children’s menu. Monday to Saturday. Dinner, 5-9 p.m. 8 Archer Rd. (about half a mile from Sea Pines Circle), 843-686-3388. Redfishofhiltonhead.com.

The Town That Has It All

Hilton Head Island has everything: Beautiful beaches. World-class golf courses. Award-winning restaurants. Wonderful weather. But Hilton Head Island is more than just the scenery and tourist attractions. Hilton Head is also about the people, its history and its year-long appeal. Locals embrace our waterways 12 months a year, including public marinas, fishing piers and boat launch sites. You are always within a short drive from a marsh, river or the Atlantic Ocean. If you don’t want to drive everywhere, that’s OK, because the island has more than 60 miles of biking trails. Of course, Hilton Head is a great place to unwind and relax. Hilton Head has it all.

OLD OYSTER FACTORY WATERFRONT DINING by ANTHONY DAVID

The Old Oyster Factory was built on the site of an original oyster cannery. From 1925 until 1990’s, 1700 acres of nearby creeks and wetlands were harvested and their yield brought to a one-story concrete building located directly under the restaurant. After canning, the oysters were shipped all over the Lowcountry bearing the appellation of the Broad Creek Oyster Factory.

FISHC A MP

ON BROAD CREEK

GREAT SEAFOOD IN A RELAXED WATERFRONT SETTING by JEVON DALY

Fishcamp on Broad Creek offers an extensive menu and has stunning views of Broad Creek. The venue is the same location of the embarkation dock that Charlie Simmons Sr. transported passengers and produce from Hilton Head to the Savannah City Market for nearly 30 years before the island gained a bridge in 1956. The restaurant honors this history and the rich Native Islander culture of Hilton Head Island. The menu features southern classics like fried green tomatoes, Daufuskie Island crab cakes, and blackened Carolina catfish to more regional dishes including a seafood risotto with a Maine lobster tail, Prince Edward Island mussels and seared Maine scallops. Whether you just got off the boat or are coming from the office, this is the place to experience great food and fun right on Broad Creek.

Take it from one satisfied customer on their Facebook page, ”Ahi nachos and fried oysters over deviled eggs! So delicious! Great job!” In addition to the restaurant, their outdoor area has table seating and a covered bar. The entire restaurant is familyfriendly and offers backyard games including corn hole as well as live entertainment every night of the week during the season. Even in the offseason, you can listen to local musicians sing in an intimate outdoor environment. Fishcamp is pet-friendly so you can bring your dog to hang out with you and your friends on the deck. Lunch daily from 11 a.m.–4 p.m. Dinner from 4 p.m., Sunday Brunch from 11 a.m.–3 p.m Happy hour daily at the bar. Adjacent to Broad Creek Marina, 11 Simmons Road, 843-842-2267, www.fishcamphhi.com.

Reilley’s new menu items & specials really shows off their culinary experience far beyond your average bar food. Made with fresh seasonal ingredients.

The food came fast and the price point was great for what we had. If we visit Hilton Head again, we will be back!” With a sophisticated warm ambiance, familyfriendly atmosphere, this Island institution is where you can enjoy nightly specials, mimosas at Sunday brunch or casual drinks and bar menu with friends over a game on one of the many TVs.

This family-oriented spot has room for more than 150 guests in its various dining rooms and bar area. Great for large parties and kids. The restaurant is decorated with team memorabilia collected by owners Josh and Katie who have owned the restaurant for the past 17 years. The parking lot must be entered at 9 Park Lane, behind the building. Listen what a fan said about Nick’s on their Facebook page“We have driven past this restaurant for so many years and always thought it was a high end steakhouse. While they do have mouth watering steaks, there are so many other delicious options to choose from. From burgers, pasta dishes, sandwiches and more. My husband had the blackened grouper and said it was the best one he’s had on the island! And that’s saying a lot because we are not really fish people. I had the ribs and they were great! We

will definitely be going back and taking guests with us when they come to visit! P.S: the key lime pie was delicious too!” The menu at Nick’s Steak & Seafood is reasonably priced with an emphasis on steaks, seafood and barbecue offerings. There is surely something for everyone here. A family friendly atmosphere and an abundance of menu choices including sandwiches, salads, appetizers, soups, burgers, pasta and a children’s menu.

BIG JI M’S BBQ | BURGERS | PIZZA | CATERING by ANTHONY DAVID

Big Jim’s BBQ, Burgers & Pizza is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner serving signature Southern dishes including BBQ, gourmet burgers and grilled pizzas plus homemade soups, salads, seafood and fall-off-thebone ribs. Big Jim set the tone for Palmetto Dunes’ growth and development since purchasing the resort in 1979, but one of his biggest claims to fame has been his culinary skills. From his own special barbecue sauce to his renowned Tennessee cole slaw, Big Jim’s recipes were always in demand. Nothing has changed in the restaurant named in Big Jim’s honor. An online reviewer had nothing but praise for the restaurant. “The staff was so pleasant,” the review said. “We had the 1/2 rack of ribs with veggies. The corn on the cob was awesome and buttery sweet. We love this place.” Another online reviewer said Big Jim’s was well worth a visit. “We’ve stayed in Palmetto Dunes many times and Big Jim’s will now be a part of our vacation plans,” the review said. “We ordered chicken nachos, chicken tenders, sweet chili shrimp with Caesar salad, Rib dinner, Pepperoni pizza, and grouper dinner. All were very good. Highly recommend a trip to Big Jim’s.” Breakfast served daily from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Enjoy omelets, breakfast sandwiches, waffles and more. Big Jim’s offers a kid’s menu as well as a wine and beer menu. Happy Hour Monday-Friday from 4-7 p.m., take-out orders and catering.

ST R EET MEE T THE AMERICAN TAVERN by ANTHONY DAVID

If you’re looking for a home-away-from-home style experience, stop in to Street Meet for lunch, dinner, or late night. Featuring “Sidewalk Sandwiches from America’s Favorite Street Corners™” Street Meet specializes in homemade versions of regional American bar food. They were voted: People’s Choice Awards Best Bar 2015, Island’s Best Hot Dog. It’s the place to go for the best wings, fish & chips, homemade soups, salads, and seafood. They also offer a vegetarian menu, power bowls, a $8 lunch menu, and happy hour & early bird specials. A tasteful selection of American whiskey and Bourbon sits on their liquor shelves and American craftbrews are at the forefront of the beer they serve.

Street Meet also caters. There are daily specials and a full bar. Continuous service from 11:30 a.m. Kitchen open late. Port Royal Plaza (behind McDonalds), North end, Hilton Head Island, 843-842-2570, www.streetmeethhi.com.

As a small business owned and operated by a sister-brother (and his wife) team, Street Meet feels there’s nothing more American than their vision. They take pride in their connection with the veteransassistance foundation, Honor our Heroes, and consistent charitable donations to the community in which we live. Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, owner Carey Basciano welcomes football fans and ex-patriots from Ohio to the home of the Cleveland Brown Backers. The NFL team issued a charter and the certificate hangs behind the bar. And with the help of a Backer Tracker app, fans looking for a great place to watch the Browns play find old and new friends at Street Meet. They expanded into the adjacent space in spring of 2016 and commissioned a colorful graffiti mural by well-known artist Blake Shockley. Street Meet offers live music and fund raising opportunities that give back to the community. Looking to take a bit of Street Meet home with you? Take-out is available and they also offer local and Browns Backer apparel and online ordering.

HINCHEY ’S

CHICAGO BAR & GRILL

GREAT FOOD, TASTY DRINKS by JEVON DALY

Home of the Notre Dame Club, the Pitt Club and the Sunset Rotary. Hinchey’s has been a locals’ favorite for twenty-five years on Hilton Head. Great place to relax, to talk, watch the game, and have a drink, sandwich or a meal. Their fried grouper sandwich is an area favorite. Their Tuesday night All-You-Can-Eat-Crab-Legs is not to be missed. Family owned and operated since 1996, the spacious location in the Circle Center next to the new Celebration Park on Hilton Head Island has a great sports memorabilia display, with a private dining room for special events. One recently satisfied customer had to say - “Hinchey’s was recommended to us by one of our neighbors and it did not disappoint. My husband’s club sandwich was huge and he said it was really good. I had the nachos and they were excellent. Huge serving and brought the rest home to enjoy later. Lots of locals make this their

go to place to meet and share a few with theirs friends. The waiter greeted many of the couples by name and knew their drink orders. We will definitely go back.” Though Hinchey’s has much in common with a sports bar, it is very much a restaurant and the perfect spot to meet family and friends for lunch or dinner. Their extensive menu has something for everyone, featuring Chicago specialties like Italian Beef Sandwich and local favorites including the Crab Cakes. Many vacationers make Hinchey’s their first stop on their return visits to Hilton Head Island and their last stop on their way home. Dine inside or out. Lunch and dinner is served seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Early dining specials from 4:30-6:00 p.m. Happy hour 4-7 p.m. seven days a week.

LUCKY ROOSTER STORIED ISLAND RESTAURANT GIVES YOU MORE TO ENJOY by BARRY KAUFMAN

Across the spectrum of great restaurants that call Hilton Head Island home, Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar stands apart from the pack. Gleefully dancing between fine dining and good old fashioned Southern goodness, the guiding philosophy at Lucky Rooster has always been to simply take the comfort food you know and give it a culinary makeover. “It’s still Southern American-inspired food, it’s just prepared in an elevated way that brings out the quality,” said owner David Leffew. “We are focused on providing an amazing dining experience that is both fun and approachable.” Aiding in that approach is executive chef David Landrigan who came to Lucky Rooster from upscale Savannah eatery Circa 1875. A classically trained chef, he’s been carrying on the restaurant’s signature style, adding his own subtle (and enormously delicious) spin on each dish. Lucky Rooster offers brunch, lunch and dinner six days a week. The result is a restaurant that stands apart, yet never stops reinventing itself. Now you don’t have to wait until Sunday to enjoy a Lucky Mary with the famed Buffalo chicken benedict, traditional French omelet with Gruyere or steak and eggs. “It’s something not a lot of people are doing on the island,” said Leffew. “We love the atmosphere here, especially with live music on the patio. Whiskey Wednesdays at the bar, special dining events and regular happy hours.” Tues.-Sat. 11:30 a.m. -10 p.m., Sun. 10:30 a.m.- 10 p.m. Closed Monday. 841 William Hilton Pkwy Unit A, Hilton Head Island. luckyroosterhhi.com. 843-715-3215

Classic sticky buns - topped with brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts—are fantastic and homemade muffins, turnovers and donuts also tempt.

bakery in Savannah. A full breakfast menu is available. Other options include fluffy omelets and savory quiches.

Hilton Head Island residents and visitors hankering for hearty, home-made Southern-influenced breakfast and lunch fare in generous portions, served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, have made this family-owned restaurant a favorite. After opening the restaurant in 2004, Randy and Debbie Harvey adopted the motto, “There are no strangers at Stack’s, only friends we haven’t met yet,” and it shows. “Our staff and guests are more than employees and customers, they are family... we are so very fortunate to have these wonderful people in our lives,” says Kimberli Martin, the Harveys’ daughter. She and her husband Michael now manage the restaurant. Every year, cooks at Stack’s prepare some 300,000 fresh eggs, 35,000 gallons of pancake batter, 6,500 pounds of sausage, 4,500 pounds of strawberries, 3,500 pounds of bacon, 2,500 pounds of grits, and 1,700 pounds of coffee beans for customers who are Lowcountry restaurants and those who visit every year. The restaurant

uses only the best-quality ingredients, from fresh butter and cream to perfectly simmered fruit sauces, Hormel Applewood bacon, Swaggerty’s sausage and they grind the coffee beans for each pot brewed. Among the favorites on the breakfast menu are Crème Brule French Toast, fresh-fruit crepes, catfish grits and greens, and a variety of omelets and benedicts, while the certified Angus burgers and huge salads served in a tortilla bowl are among the lunch favorites. Stack’s has a children’s menu and provides a fun, familyfriendly environment. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and low-carb options are available.

PALMETTO BAY

SUNRISE CAFE

A FAVORITE LOCAL’S SPOT by ANTHONY DAVID

When Leslie and Paul Stewart opened Palmetto Bay Sunrise cafe in 2002 they committed to making great breakfast fare starting before the sun rises, from 6 a.m. Known as the Islands’ “go to” breakfast spot, Palmetto Bay Sunrise Café’s menu offers traditional breakfast and lunch items with a Hilton Head twist: eggs benedict (homemade hollandaise sauce), the best smoked salmon bagel, she-crab soup, shrimp and grits with gravy, and crab cakes. There are variations of eggs Benedict, including city ham, crab cake, smoked salmon or shrimp and spinach. Quiches and stratas along with biscuits and gravy, pancakes, French toast and omelets. Specials offered include blueberry cream cheese and country fried steak. Eat inside or on the expanded seating on veranda, with clear roll-down walls available in the event of cold or inclement weather. Open seven days a week for breakfast (served all day 60

long) and lunch. Always ask about the blue plate special of the day. Wake up with the locals. Most of the wait staff has been at Sunrise Café for many years and know their customers by name. “Definitely a great place for breakfast,” a TripAdvisor review said. “I even took home my leftovers and I don’t think that I’ve ever done that for a breakfast. I was there early (6:30ish) and it was obvious that many customers come frequently and have become friends. Great good, great atmosphere.” Both breakfast and lunch items are available continuously until closing. The cafe specializes in to-go lunches for charter boats, the beach or any other occasion. Due to covid-19, they are temporarily open Wednesday to Sunday 6am – 2pm Palmetto Bay Marina, South end, Hilton Head Island, 843-686-3232, palmettobaysunrisecafe.com.

MEXICAN / SOUTHWESTERN

S ANTA FE C A FÉ AUTHENTIC SOUTHWESTERN by CAROL WEISS

Santa Fe Café is the only place on Hilton Head Island to find authentic Southwestern cuisine, and nothing is more representative of this favorite locals’ eatery than a bowl of painted desert soup. Made from red pepper, corn, Mexican cream and mole, it’s a feast for the eyes and palate. Regional dishes plus traditional Mexican recipes are the stars of the menu at this vibrant, refined restaurant with a New Mexico look. Santa Fe Café’s rooftop cantina is the eatery’s most popular spot throughout the year. Live entertainment on the rooftop every Tuesday through Saturday. The cantina’s a kiva fireplace and white pine, custom-designed bar— make this romantic and inviting space perfect for having a drink and enjoying some appetizers. Marshall Sampson and Sean Crosby are the owners of Santa Fe Café, which has been bringing islanders and visitors the flavors of the American Southwest for almost 25 years. Sampson runs the front of the house and Crosby is behind the scenes focusing on the food. Every year, they re-fresh the décor. The result is a visually-pleasing atmosphere that welcomes diners inside. Some choose to sit at the chef’s counter to observe the restaurant’s open kitchen where a skilled team prepares signature dishes including mesquite grilled lamb chops; grilled pork tenderloin with smoked habanero BBQ sauce; chipotle-parmesan encrusted grouper; and Santa Fe Café’s famous ribeye burrito.

LATIN / ASIAN FUSION

TÔR O PERFECT MARRIAGE OF ASIAN AND LATIN FARE by TIM WOOD

Hungry beachgoers are getting treated to an innovative scratch kitchen that blends cultural creativity through the flavors of Latin & Asian cuisines at TôRō on North Forest Beach Drive. George Casalicchio and his partner and executive chef Eric Golden made a name for themselves on the island for escalating expectations for French cuisine at Chez Georges and now they’re doing the same for the easypeasy, grab-and-go meal. If you look closely at the logo adored on the space formerly occupied by Crave by Daniel’s, you will see everything you need to know about the pair’s Latin-Asian eatery. “TôRō means tuna in Japanese and bull in Spanish, so that’s why you see a tuna inside the belly of the bull,” Casalicchio said. “These tastes, these cultures, they run parallel to each other, blend magnificently. Together, they create the perfect marriage in your mouth.” You’ll see tacos on the menu, but with plenty of ways to fill them. Starter offerings include an early favorites since their mid-May opening, TÔRŌ Cheese Friess (fries, melted cheese, chorizo topped, pico de gallo).

Meat eaters will enjoy the Bulgogi Sandwich (sliced korean marinated ribeye, greens, onion, grilled pineapple, bulgogi sauce, garlic aioli, pretzel roll), and, if you’re more surf than turf, ahi tuna (coriander dusted seared tuna, shredded cabbage, japanese lime-crema & sweet peppers), Grilled Garlic Shrimp (pepper slaw, habanero coulis, bean sprouts) and the Poke and salad bowls are particularly delightful. And Casalicchio says you must try the Peruvian-Thai ceviche of the day. He said. “It’s our brand on a plate.” Desserts include tres leches cake, flan and “Mexican hot” chocolate pot de crème. And the craft cocktail concoctions such as the 1902, Caipirinha and Mary’s Berry Bomb, are equally innovative as the main dishes. TôRō has a lively atmosphere and offers entertainment for all ages from Trivia to Dancing and much much more! TôRō is located at 2 North Forest Drive across from Coligny Plaza on Hilton Head Island. 843-931-8676. torohhi.com. Open seven days a week. 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

STEAK

CR AN E’S TAV ERN A FAMILY TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE by CAROL WEISS

Crane’s Tavern and Steakhouse on Hilton Head Island has a pedigree that goes back for more than a century. Frank Crane, an immigrant from Ireland, founded Crane’s Tavern in Philadelphia in 1908 and ran it until forced to close during Prohibition. After the restaurant reopened in 1933, his sons and a grandson continued to operate the tavern into the 1970s. His son Hank worked at the original tavern until 1969, when he opened a Crane’s Tavern north of Philadelphia, then bought and renamed the Surf City Hotel on Long Beach Island, N.J. In April 1999, Hank and his daughter Beth-Anne Crane, great-granddaughter of the founder, opened the restaurant on Hilton Head. More than two decades later it remains a go-to destination for lovers of steak, seafood and fine wines. Crane’s serves only USDA Prime grade beef, including its famous prime rib, as well as a wide array of fresh fish,

seafood and pasta dishes, including jumbo lump crab cakes, sashimi-grade tuna steaks, Lowcountry shrimp, lobster tail and more. The extensive selection of wines, both domestic and international, received an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine. With its crisp white tablecloths, oldEnglish bar and rich, warm, heart-of-pine floors, the tavern is known for its cozy, comfortable, casual atmosphere and outstanding service. “It is our desire to offer our customers an experience in prime,” say the owners. Crane’s has a children’s menu. Dinner served nightly from 5-10 p.m., including a multi-course early-dining menu from 5-5:45 p.m. 26 New Orleans Road. 843-341-2333 for reservations. cranestavern.com

NUNZIO RESTAURANT & BAR INNOVATIVE ITALIAN FARE by CAROL WEISS

Nunzio Restaurant + Bar burst onto the dining scene last year on Hilton Head Island and is the talk of the town. The beautifully renovated space on New Orleans Road is owned by Nunzio Patruno, who currently owns New Jersey restaurant Nunzio Ristorante Rustico, which was reviewed by The New York Times and other media outlets.

“Adulation of fresh vegetables and seasonal ingredients may seem cutting-edge, but Nunzio Patruno grew up cooking this new old-fashioned way years ago, and he has the loyal hordes to prove it,” the New York Times article says.

The menu features both traditional and innovative seafood dishes and homemade pasta, as well as lighter fare. Popular main course elections include veal chops, branzino and halibut, exquisitely prepared and beautifully presented. Starter standouts include lobster bisque and diver scallops. The dessert menu features tiramisu, cannolis, cheesecake and other crowd pleasers. The staff answer patrons’ questions knowledgeably, and the wine list represents Italian and Californian selections curated to compliment the menu, at various price points. On pleasant evenings, the outdoor tables are filled with local and visiting diners of every age and nationality, enjoying each other’s company and a delicious meal.

The same could be said of his new restaurant on Hilton Head Island, which embraces the culinary traditions of the Puglia region in Southern Italy, where the Patruno family is from.

Reservations suggested. Happy Hour is from 4-6 p.m. with 20 percent off selected appetizers, cocktails, wines and beer. 18 New Orleans Road, Hilton Head Island. 843-715-2172 or nunziohhi.com.

RESTAURANT NEWS

COMEDY MAGIC CABARET IS GOOD, CLEAN FUN By Tim Watson Kerry Pollock walks on stage at Comedy Magic Cabaret on Hilton Head Island like he built the place — because he did. Pollock’s passion for both comedy and magic lured him away from his original career as an engineer, one gig at a time. Pollock is gifted at crafting jokes and illusions — and the settings where performers present them. His half-bowl, 88-seat club in the South Island Square shopping center feels like a classic jazz club; there’s not a bad seat in the house. Corporate events, private parties and celebrations of life have taken place in this homey, intimate space. In addition to setting the stage for laughter and amazement on Hilton Head, Pollock has built stages and performance spaces for others in the entertainment industry. Audiences at Comedy Magic Cabaret have grown about 20% since the club opened, as word spread across the Lowcountry and beyond about Pollock’s “Funny Not Filthy” entertainment. Much of the credit for the club’s success belongs to his wife, Kelly, who is a breath of fresh air, tirelessly working the front and back of the house. Many guests become repeat customers — and close friends of the couple. Friends and fans are quick to sing Pollock’s praises. Among them are Rich and Janice Ross, who have also seen him perform at The Magic Castle nightclub in Hollywood. “The other comics told us that no one interacts with an audience better than Kerry,” Rich Ross said. As Hilton Head guests enjoy the show, they can also order food and drinks — Comedy Magic Cabaret serves simple Southern cuisine with a twist: pork and chicken sliders, paninis, and a variety of desserts. Signature cocktails include The Daufuskie Hurricane and Kelly’s Favorite. The menu also includes a wide selection of beer, wine and soft drinks.

88 88

The Pollocks recently upped the magic with a new addition to the club, an intimate “Backstage” Close-Up magic show seating only 12-16 guests for a unique personal experience. They will also be offering the same aboard their 61’ yacht “MAGIC”. An optional upgrade includes a pre-show dolphin cruise with hosts Kerry and Kelly. Comedy Magic Cabaret is located in South Island Square, 843 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head Island. When facing the shopping center, Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar is in the front left corner and Comedy Magic Cabaret is in the back right. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and shows start at 8 p.m.; for just a few extra dollars comedy fans can sit a little closer to the stage to increase their chances of becoming “volunteers” during a performance.

TÔRO Asian and Latin fare make for the perfect marriage at TôRō. The new restaurant on North Forest Beach Drive is the brainchild of George Casalicchio and his partner and executive chef Eric Golden. Casalicchio is a Long Islander, and Golden is a San Diego native with a Korean heritage who grew up in a region with a heavy Latino influence. “We come from different backgrounds, but we both love to play in the culinary sandbox and challenge our diners to expand their palettes,” Casalicchio said. Meat eaters will enjoy the Bulgogi Sandwich (sliced korean marinated ribeye, greens, onion, grilled pineapple, bulgogi sauce, garlic aioli, pretzel roll), and, if you’re more surf than turf, ahi tuna (coriander dusted seared tuna, shredded cabbage, japanese lime-crema & sweet peppers), Grilled Garlic Shrimp (pepper slaw, habanero coulis, bean sprouts) and the Poke and salad bowls are particularly delightful. And Casalicchio says you must try the Peruvian-Thai ceviche of the day. He said. “It’s our brand on a plate.” Desserts include tres leches cake, flan and “Mexican hot” chocolate pot de crème. And the craft cocktail concoctions such as the 1902, Caipirinha and Mary’s Berry Bomb, are equally innovative as the main dishes TôRō has a lively atmosphere and offers entertainment for all ages from Trivia to Dancing and much much more! TôRō is located at 2 North Forest Drive across from Coligny Plaza on Hilton Head Island. 843-931-8676. torohhi.com. Open seven days a week. 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Lucky Rooster Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar re-opened in April with a focus on fresh local ingredients and regional favorites. The upscale eatery welcomed the addition of executive chef David Landrigan. Formerly of Circa 1875 and La Scala Ristorante in Savannah, Landrigan is a classically trained chef who has been carrying on the restaurant’s signature style, adding his own subtle (and enormously delicious) spin on each dish. The menu changes throughout the seasons based on ingredients, tides, and the inspiration of Chef Landrigan. Clayton Rollison opened Lucky Rooster in 2013 and reached an agreement with Leffew Restaurant Group to keep the tradition moving forward.

BEACHES

Sands. Surfing. Swimming. Sunning. Shores. Sailing. Sanctuary. Whatever your vision of the “beach life” may entail, the sun-splashed beaches of Hilton Head Island offer as many experiences as there are shells on their sandy shores. From its heel to its toe, here’s an overview of some of the island’s popular beaches and hidden gems.

beaches of Hilton Head Island

10 9

7 6 1

Coligny Beach Park

Best for Boarding 1. SOUTH BEACH

Best For: Unique water sports opportunities (kayaking, sport fishing, parasailing, etc.), sightseeing and walking. Located in Sea Pines at the “toe” of the island near the South Beach Marina. Calibogue Beach is relatively quiet, nearly secluded, and is great for just watching the dolphins or a relaxing walk. If you are not a Sea Pines resident or registered guest, you must pay $8 per vehicle to enter the resort. Access: Near Sea Pines South Beach Marina, best accessed by bike or foot. $9 per vehicle to enter the resort.

7. FOLLY FIELD BEACH

Best for: Surfers, walking and biking. A bit off the beaten path from the plantations and resorts, Folly Field has more of a locals’ beach feel. With a shorter walk to the beach than nearby Driessen Beach, it is both convenient and quiet. Take a long walk and grab a pit stop and a drink at the outdoor bar at the nearby The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa. Access: Located on Starfish Road, a right turn off Folly Field Road.

5. BURKES BEACH

Best For: Surfing, boarding, walking and pets. Located to the northern side of Chaplin Community Park, Burke’s Beach is adjacent to Singleton Beach, divided by the natural folly field. The beach offers seasonal lifeguards and limited parking, but boasts some of the best waves for surfing and boarding. The dog park at Chaplin Park is a nice touch and makes it a great destination for a bark-and-beach day with man’s best friend. Access: Just south of Palmetto Dunes at the end of Burkes Beach Road.

Best for Swimming

2. SOUTH FOREST BEACH

Best For: Swimming, fishing, biking and walking. Part of Hilton Head’s “Ocean Community,” South Forest Beach is on a one-mile stretch of beachfront between the Coligny Circle and Sea Pines Plantation gate. It is the largest of the island’s public

beaches, and draws more crowds than North Forest Beach. Wide, comfortable and spacious, and buffered somewhat from nearby development, it’s a great all-purpose spot. Venture a little further away from the public access point that divides the north and south beaches, and you’ll find even more room to spread out. Access: Public access on Alder Lane and Seaside Villas, off South Forest Beach Road.

4. NORTH FOREST BEACH

Best For: Swimming, walking and surfing Located near over 100 dining and shopping options in one of the island’s oldest neighborhoods. For surfers, the beach area at Jacana Street is known to offer some of the best waves at high tide on the island. Locals swear by the shoreline as the best on Hilton Head, and the quaint mix of older beach cottages with modern ocean compounds makes for a compelling community feel. Access: The one-mile stretch of beach starts at Coligny Circle and runs north to the Sonesta Resort located in Shipyard Plantation.

8. ISLANDER’S BEACH

Best for: Locals and swimming. A favorite of locals, Islander’s Beach recently earned a high ranking in Coastal Living magazine’s Top 21 Beaches on the East Coast. It’s less crowded than most Hilton Head spots and swimmer-friendly, thanks to its gentle underwater slope. Parking is at a premium and is mostly reserved for residents and year-round pass holders. Access: Located at 94 Folly Field Road, at Sparkleberry Ln.

Best for Family Fun 3. COLIGNY BEACH

Best For: Everybody. Perfect for sunbathing, swimming, biking, an early-morning jog or a romantic date night. At Hilton Head’s busiest beach you’ll find soft sand and wonderful clean water. Even better, it’s close to the island’s unofficial downtown area. The beach is protected by security cameras and visitors can enjoy free WiFi, volleyball nets, scores of beach

rentals and free parking — park at the beach parking, not Coligny Plaza. The beach and the shopping plaza do get a little crowded, but if you like an active and lively beach experience, this is your spot. Access: At Coligny Circle, at the intersection of Pope Avenue and South Forest Beach Drive.

6. DRIESSEN BEACH

Best For: Day trips, swimming, sunning, locals and in-the-know. A long boardwalk connects the maritime forest to the white-sand beach. A long, wide shoreline leaves ample room to spread out, and the flat ocean floor and small waves make it kid-friendly and great for body boarding or just wading. Tucked in a heavily shaded and wooded area, it’s a bit hard to find, but with tons of amenities like parking and restrooms. Access: Off William Hilton Parkway, at the end of Bradley Beach Road.

Best for Walking +Birdwatching

9. FISH HAUL CREEK BEACH PARK

Best For: Privacy, fishing, walking. Many locals consider this beach Hilton Head’s best-kept secret. Adjacent to Barker’s Field, this beach park (formerly Mitchelville Beach Park) was recently renamed. It’s not for swimming, but is great for beachcombing, hunting for sharks’ teeth and digging for clams. Access: Near the end of Beach City Road, on Mitchelville Road.

10. HISTORIC MITCHELVILLE FREEDOM PARK

Best for: Walking, birdwatching, clamming & fishing.The public beach access at this historic site is located on the “heel” of the island. It boasts 31 acres of mostly untouched nature, feels like your own private beach and is arguably the scene for the best bird watching in all of Hilton Head. The beach itself is a generous walk from the park. Access: Near the end of Beach City Road.

ADVENTURE

an adventure PLENTY OF OPTIONS TO ENJOY A DAY ON THE WATER BY JOHANNA JACKSON

Catch a Fish Most of the lagoons on Hilton Head are brackish, meaning they are both fresh and salt water. Don’t let the calm waters fool you; fish can grow to enormous sizes (red drum can weigh more than 50 pounds). Or if you are looking to catch some tarpon, striped bass, black drum and the occasional blue fish head inshore or offshore on one of the area’s many fishing charters. Catch a Wave While the waves around Hilton Head Island aren’t known for their size, they are often perfect for boogie and skim boarding or to learn to surf. Catch a Ride There are many ways to get out on the water and a renting a boat is one of the best. No matter your group size or need for speed, there is an option for you. Waverunners and skiff rentals will satisfy any need for adventure, while power and pontoon boats are available for larger groups. Catch some Zen For those looking to combine exercise with a more leisurly pace on the water, stand up paddleboarding or kayaking may be just what you are looking for. Enjoy the Lowcountry’s scenery and wildlife while you navigate the area’s waterways. Catch a Glimpse If you are looking to get out on the water and see some wildlife, a photo safari is for you.

of Birds AN ISL AND

BY JOHN BLOOMFIELD AND BOB SPEARE, PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY MEMBERS OF HILTON HEAD AUDUBON

Birding is one of America’s favorite leisure pastimes. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, more than 45 million Americans watch birds, whether in our backyards or in a local park or far-flung destination. The good news is that on Hilton Head Island, you don’t have to go far to enjoy great-looking birds. You just need to step outside. More than 220 bird species have been observed on Hilton Head, and fall migration is a great time to see them. Northern Cardinals, Carolina Chickadees and Carolina Wrens grace our feeders all year long. Along our shorelines and marshes you’ll find

colorful wading birds like our Great Blue, Little Blue and Tri-colored Herons. If you’re lucky, you might spot a Roseate Spoonbill, a large pink-and-white beauty with a comical bill that looks like a cooking utensil. Among the smaller shorebirds on the beach, you might find an endangered Piping Plover. Shorebirds are hard to pick out in a crowd, but you may recognize this one when it’s moving about. It’s little to be sure, but stocky for its diminutive size. Its bill looks like a little piece of candy corn and its orange legs stand out from the other sandpipers and plovers, whose legs are mostly drab. Only 8,400 Piping Plovers remain in the world, but you can find

up to a dozen on our beaches in the fall and winter, some with colorful bands on their legs to mark where they came from. The bands were put there by scientists studying the migration patterns of this species. As the heat of summer slowly gives way to cooler dawns and dusks, our woods come alive with the sights and sounds of migrating warblers. Some have obvious names like the Yellow-Throated Warbler or Black-and-White Warbler. Others require a little studying, like Northern Parula or American Redstart, which isn’t always red. Warblers generally like it up high in the trees: you can get a sore neck looking for them, but these colorful songbirds are well worth the effort. Birds are tightly woven into the fabric of Hilton Head Island; the more we get to know these amazing creatures, the better we can ensure that they remain an important part of our community for generations to come.

BEST BIRDING SPOTS

The Lowcountry offers plenty of opportunities to spot birds. Try these prime viewing destinations: Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge: Fourteen miles of walking and biking trails through a range of coastal habitats — a must for wildlife photographers. Sea Pines Forest Preserve: The largest tract of undeveloped land and the largest open freshwater ponds on Hilton Head Island. Mitchelville Freedom Park and Fish Haul Beach Park: At these adjacent locations, birders are treated to three important natural ecosystems — maritime forest, salt marsh and the beauty of Port Royal Sound. Audubon Newhall Preserve: Fifty acres of interconnected trails and a quiet oasis when the island is busy. Jarvis Creek Park: Relaxed birding along a 1.1-mile loop trail through forest and pond edges.

Daufuskie GET AWAY FOR A DAY ACROSS THE WATER BY JUSTIN JARRETT | PHOTOS COURTESY OF HAIG POINT

Just a couple of miles across Calibogue Sound from Harbour Town lies Daufuskie Island, a small, largely undeveloped barrier island. A 45-minute ferry ride up the Intracoastal Waterway whisks visitors back in time when, depositing them on Daufuskie — accessible only by boat — and a world away from the trappings of modern-day life. Daufuskie, steeped in history and drenched in natural beauty, is divided into two distinct worlds — the private Haig Point community, where cars are prohibited and residents access top-notch amenities by golf cart or bicycle, and the rest of the island, virtually undisturbed for decades. Native American artifacts are frequently unearthed on the island’s beaches, including arrowheads and pieces of centuries-old pottery. Haig Point is mostly for members only, but the club does rent rooms in the historic Strachan Mansion and the Haig Point Lighthouse (rumored to be “eternally occupied” by Maggie, the former keeper’s daughter). A horseback ride via Daufuskie Island Trail Rides, one of the few places in the country where you can still ride horses on the beach, is always a unique experience. Living here also means a chance to play a round on the club’s renowned Rees Jones signature golf course. On weekends during the summer, Freeport is the place to be: It’s where visitors hop off the ferry and gather to eat and drink at the Old Daufuskie Crab Company, dance the day away to live music, play cornhole, and hit the public beach that looks across Calibogue Sound toward Hilton Head. The area near the marina is something of a town center, with a general store, a few cottages for rent, and a handful of shops.

108

The main mode of transportation is via a golf cart or bike — which are perfect to explore the island. And there’s plenty to explore along Daufuskie’s dirt roads. A number of unique galleries dot the island. Most notable among them is the Iron Fish Gallery, where Daufuskie Island resident Chase Allen — who has sold more than $1 million worth of art — produces metalworks in an open-air studio and accepts payments on the honor system when he isn’t present at the gallery. Daufuskie is a haven for art lovers, inlcluding Daufuskie Blues — located in the famed Mary Fields School, where author Pat Conroy taught in the 1960s — where organic indigo harvested on the island is used to create stunning and unique fashions. The school is also home to School Grounds Coffee, but if you are looking for something a little stronger the island will oblige. Silver Dew Winery is a great spot for a tasting. There’s the museum inside the old Bloody Point Lighthouse and Daufuskie Island Rum Company, where its locally distilled spirits have been served to visitors from every U.S. state and 64 countries. The distillery is located next to a quaint pond, where visitors sometimes enjoy a picnic lunch. If you’re not the do-it-yourself type, you can book one of a number of tours, including one led by Daufuskie native Sallie Ann Robinson, who was Conroy’s star pupil in “The Water Is Wide.” Life on Daufuskie isn’t for everyone, and its full-time residents have a saying: “We’re all here because we’re not all there.”

WELCOME TO

BLUFFTON SOUTH CAROLINA

Small Town Big Reputation Bluffton is booming. The town has grown from one square mile when it was first incorporated to 54 square miles today. The town’s development exploded, bringing business and families to the Lowcountry — and it gave Bluffton its own identity. There are shopping centers along U.S. 278, schools and athletic fields along McCracken Circle and dining and entertainment keep Calhoun Street and the Promenade vibrant. Even though Bluffton is growing, it is still a small town, with a neighborly feel. You’ll know your neighbors. You’ll enjoy their company and enjoy peace of mind. The restaurants offer an eclectic mix of options, from fresh seafood to pub fare. The town serves some of the freshest dishes in the Lowcountry. Old Town is still the place to explore. A unique spot for a variety of experiences, Old Town features artisan shops, art galleries and fantastic eateries. Old Town also includes the pre-Civil War Church of the Cross and the antebellum Heyward House. The Bluffton state of mind is real, and we love it. #ForkandFun | 111

FOOD. OUTDOORS. PEOPLE. KIM VILJAC SPEARHEADS BLUFFTON’S FARMERS MARKET STORY BY NINA GREENPLATE | PH0T0S BY ROB KAUFMAN Kim Viljac’s love of community and talent for connection lends perfectly to her position as executive director of the Farmers Market of Bluffton. Viljac lived for a time in the south of France which helped foster her lifelong affinity for great food and outdoor activities. “I spent a lot of time at open-air markets with all the beautiful colors, fragrant aromas, and friendly people,” she said. “I guess that’s where it all started.” The charming backdrop of Old Town welcomes the mindful consumer as they browse more than 30 local producers and farmers every Thursday afternoon. The market itself, on Boundary Street, appears as a microcosm of what living in a healthy society should look like: homegrown foods, neighborhood outreach, and relationships built on mutual objectives. Viljac is integral to these principles. “People often tell me how they come to meet up with friends, and how love the experience,” she says. “We are committed to supporting local agriculture, as well as the small-business person.” Autumn’s swift approach finds some farmers in between crops and planning for the upcoming (pumpkin) season. Seasonal fruits, vegetables, plants, and herbs are always available, along with responsibly sourced beef, pork, and poultry. “The beauty of the farmers market is that you’re able to talk directly to the farmer,” Viljac says. “If you are buying a tomato, know that the person selling it to you grew it.” She values the relationships developed over her 10 years as director, and in turn, merchants appreciate her dedication. The farmers market typically averages 30 vendors each Thursday. The Mosher family of HD Farm in Yemassee have been merchants

122

since January. They describe the taste of their meats as “pure.” Their pasture-raised, pure-bred pigs and lamb are given nonGMO feed without hormones or antibiotics. Chocolates and Sweets on Hilton Head Island have been faithful merchants for nearly 10 years. Linda and Billy Douglas’ handmade confections include sweet truffles, pralines, creamy fudge, roasted pecans and multiple chocolate creations. Most requested are their coconut balls and chocolate- covered bacon. Another long-standing market vendor is Kathy Lambert of Great Food Co-Op, whose homemade salsas and dips are reminiscent of the “good ol’ days,” she said. In homage to her father, Lee, Lambert continues the tradition. Most requested are the Goldilocks-Red Heat Relish, and crispy “Chippy Chips” in sun-dried tomato/basil, spinach/herb, and whole wheat proprietary blends. As a non-profit venue, Viljac speaks of her “open door” in encouraging community groups to set up and promote their efforts. “We try to get everyone involved,” she said. Organizations such as Bluffton Self Help, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Backpack Buddies, Girl Scouts and the Rotary Club have come out to raise awareness. Local chefs make regular appearances, demonstrating food preparation basics. During the coronavirus pandemic, Viljac ensures Bluffton’s safety regulations are followed, including: proper vendor spacing and signage for mask wearing, sanitizer use, and customer distancing. The Farmers Market of Bluffton is open Thursdays from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, visit farmersmarketbluffton.org.

CRAFT KITCHEN A NEW WAY TO LOOK AT DINING by BARRY KAUFMAN

There was a time when people took pride in what they did. No matter what they were doing, they put their heart and soul into it. In those days, it was all about setting a standard of excellence. Craft Kitchen was built on that foundation. Dragging the old-fashioned work ethic into the 21st century, owners Vincent and Desi Kull have created a place where what goes into each bite and each sip is crafted with care. “I’m a big believer in keeping all of our recipes simple and not overly complicated, because we make nearly everything from scratch here,” said Vincent. That means everything from carefully hand-breading each fried chicken and delicately seasoning each smash burger, down to preparing fresh scratch-made dressing for each salad. That dedication to quality ingredients and mindful crafting extends to the beer list as well, an inspired mix of small independent offerings from around the Southeast and the country. “We always want to keep things new and fresh,” said Vincent. “In addition to our twelve rotating drafts, we have quite a large and unique can and bottle list that’s always changing. That can be overwhelming to some people so if you’re just learning about craft beer, we’ll be more than happy to point you toward something you will love.” We d . - S u n . 1 2 – 9 p . m . / 7 J o h n s t o n Wa y, B l u ff t o n craftkitchen.online / 843-815-7755
