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.
