Below are some of our family's favorite restaurants on the island. Our family has enjoyed many of the restaurants in the Harbour Town area (located in Sea Pines), South Beach area (located in Sea Pines) and Shelter Cove and with over 250 restaurants on Hilton Head Island to choose from, there are far too many to list them all.

During the summer, waits can be 1-3 hours long. Where possible we highly recommend making reservations or going during off-peak hours to avoid long waits.
