One Hot Mama's Hilton Head Island South Carolina

Once in a while you find a restaurant the does a lot of things right ... One Hot Mama's (OHM) is such a place.  We found OHM shortly after we arrived at Hilton Head Island and have gone there many times.  OHM is an American grill which basically means they have a little of everything.  OHM menu includes  burgers, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, fish, brisket and even a  reuben sandwich.  The food is always well prepared and the portions are large.  OHM is most popular in the area for their barbecue ribs.  Their ribs are smothered in their "Mama's Perfect 10 Sauce".  There is a Rib Sampler that has ribs basted with  "Mama's Perfect 10 Sauce" the "Asian Sauce' and the "Chocolate Barbecue Sauce".  Yes, you read that right CHOCOLATE barbecue sauce.  The ribs are tender, meaty, flavorful and messy.  Here take a look:

Ribs are not the only food that is good here.  The pulled pork is great, the burgers are a full 8 oz, cooked to your liking and topped with things like fried onion haystack, applewood bacon, grilled corn salsa or their own Devil Sauce.  Their other sandwiches are just as impressive.  I would recommend "The Big Daddy" ...  "Our Texas Beef Brisket & Pulled Pork with pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, and coleslaw with our golden onion haystack served on our fresh baked yeast roll."  Let me tell you that is a mouthful of favor and if you are not careful it will spill onto your shirt.

On Sunday OMH has a great Sunday Brunch Buffet.  The lineup includes their pulled pork, cheese grits, home fries, fresh fruit, beans, coleslaw, fresh rolls, hot cinnamon rolls, waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, made to order omelets and don't forget the mimosa.  Needles to say it is quite a feast.

One Hot Mama's is one of our favorite places to eat a full meal, a Sunday brunch or Happy Hour.  Give it a try.

Harolds Diner Hilton Head Island South Carolina

Do you have a place you like to eat that just has good food and is fun?  Well Harold's Diner is that type of place.  A small place whose sign says, "Sorry We Are Open".   Harold's is similar to the many small family run diners that use to dot the entire country.  A service counter with stools and a few tables against the outside wall.  On Hilton Head Island, Harold's is famous for Good Food and Good service but they don't advertise as such.  They advertise as Bad Food and Lousy Service.  Not really true but we don't want to mess with their reputation.  The food is always good and the good service is always provided with a side order of sass.

The newbie to Harold's is easy to spot; they walk in, look around, realize they seat themselves, sit down and wait to be served .   Not going to happen!  At Harold's you better grab a menu when you walk in, fill it out and hand it to the person behind the counter and then shut up and wait for your food.  Oh, don't forget  to put your name on the menu.  When your food is done your name will be called and your food set before you.   Should you forget your name on the menu, don't worry they will find you with such flattering phrases as "Who is the Moron that doesn't know their own Name?"   Want to have more fun?  Complain about your food and the staff will begin to have fun at your expense (all in good taste).  The name of the game at Harold's is Good Food and Fun.

Harold Hours:

Monday thru Saturdays 6:00 am - 2:00 pm
Holidays  Sometimes

The menu allows you to create your meal as you want.  For breakfast you can choose a sandwich with your choice of bread, fried egg or scrambled egg, sausage or bacon or ham, cheese and/or lettuce and tomato.

They also have pancakes, french toast and grits.  For lunch they have great sandwiches and fries.  

All of the staff members wear shirts that have Harold's famous saying, "Eat at Harold's or we both will Starve".   Harold's Diner Hilton Head Island is the place to go for breakfast or lunch if you want Good Food. Good Service and a little bit of fun.
