- DDavidVIPSouth Carolina •96 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoTop notch as always - the Bluffton Room never disappoints. I do wish the regular menu had a little more variety (it's very steak-heavy), but I usually end up with one of the non-steak daily specials anyway. Last night was roasted duck, and it was outstanding. My wife's fish was also excellent. We topped it off with the bananas foster desert, which is always a special treat. Service was excellent, drinks were well made - like I said, the Bluffton Room never disappoints. We'll be back.More infoThe Bluffton RoomPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Bluffton•4.9

Discover Bluffton
Historians believe that Native Americans and Spanish explorers threw the first barbecue very near Bluffton. The natives had the cooking know-how while the Spanish brought their pigs with them. Since then, the town's cuisine pedigree has only grown. Bluffton seafood platters groan under the weight of low country shrimp, crab, lobster, and catfish. Seafood restaurants are a large contender in the town's fine dining category, and they offer both local delicacies and more exotic catch flown in from the Pacific. The town has a nice mix of upscale and family-friendly for all three meals of the day. In addition to seafood and traditional Southern cuisine, you can find anything from Asian and Cajun to nationally known sandwich shops. Wash it all down with a mint julep or sweet tea, which was invented in South Carolina.
