Experience the Great Food and Great Restaurants in Hilton Head Island, SC | HGTV Dream home 2020

From fresh seafood to low-country specialities and even classic southern dishes, there's no shortage of great flavors on Hilton Head Island.
When you're surrounded by water, you know the seafood is going to be great. Our first stop is the spot for some of the freshest seafood in town. Hudson's on the Docks prides themselves on serving the very freshest local seafood. They've been in business for 52 years and serve the freshest local seafood. The customers always say, "This is the best blank I've ever had" whether it's shrimp, oysters, soft shell crab, you name it, they love it. Hudson's on the Docks is a 2nd-generation family restaurant and another thing that they're known for is their oyster roasts. What they do is they get a fire pit going with oakwood. The coals get raging hot, they put a piece of expanded metal over it, place the oysters on that and then finish with a wet burlap sack to steam the oysters to perfection. Then they shuck the oysters and eat them with crackers and hot sauce.
Next up is all about the flavors of the island at The Lucky Rooster. Chef and Owner Clayton Rollison takes us through the southern flavors he grew up on and is serving to locals and travelers alike. Their goal is to cook very specific southern foods in ways that are a lot of fun. Signature dishes include a crab rice dish with local shrimp, okra and Carolina gold rice. They highlight it with blue crab and okra.
After that, they finish it with a beautiful pineapple upside down cake. Pineapple on a yellow cake, with a gastrique sauce made of luxardo cherries, crumb streusel and brown butter ice cream.
Lastly is Chef Orchid who is making tasty southern barbecue at One Hot Mama's. Their process takes 16 to 20 hours. They season all of their pork and brisket with their barbecue blend, mop it with vinegar and smoke it for hours. Open it up in the morning and serve it to all of the visitors.
For the freshest seafood, traditional low-country flavors or classic southern barbecue, the tastes of Hilton Head Island - do not disappoint.
