We discovered this restaurant in the fall out 2012. We ate there 4 times in a week. We are back and couldn't wait to get back. Everything is great. Loraine, our waitress is great - personable and a great server. The moonshine cocktails are flavorful and refreshing. You must start with the fried green tomato stack. The Shrimp and Grits... More

We had lunch here and hope to go back. Everything we saw and tasted was great. The BLT appears to be a favorite. I had the meatloaf sandwich on flat bread while my other half had the shrimp cake, both excellent. Salads looked large and beautiful. I heard a group of four mooning over a shared dessert. Our waitress Loraine... More

We've been coming to HHI for over a decade and found this new option on TripAdvisor. Our group of 9 was divided on the selection...girls (all 5) went to the Backyard, the boys (all 4) went out for pizza. WE WON. We were seated in a sweet outdoor space. Pleased to find options my younger kids would like as well... More

We decided to try this restaurant after reading reviews on TA. Unless you want to wait, definitely get there early for one of the tables in the backyard (there are only about 7 or so). The pimento cheese appetizer was only so-so, but the Charleston special was fabulous!! Lightly battered flounder over a grits cake over a tomato-basil cream sauce.... More

We had a fabulous mothers day weekend in Hilton Head, while touring the area this restaurant came highly recommended, so we decided to go for a dinner. I am so glad we did, my mother had never been to any restaurant which servers a true southern flavors as Lowcountry Backyard, she was very pleased with the atmosphere and southern hospitality....

Since it was Mother's Day, I took my wife here for the banana foster French toast that I had read about on Trip Advisor. We arrived at about 8:20 and were the first in the door. We chose a small table near the window. I ordered the biscuits and sausage gravy and my wife surprised me by ordering the Backyard... More

We have tried many of the restaurants on HHI (there are only 250) and finally discovered this gem. We had a superb lunch and the fried green tomatoes, grilled shrimp and wonderful bacon were really good. The service is friendly and efficient and the location easy if you are at the south end of the island. We will try for... More

This place is small and has a limited menu. But it serves the best low country food on Hilton Head. Simple, home made, delicious. Our table of 4 had the potato chip meatloaf with peach BBQ sauce, the pan fried grouper, and a fried green tomato BLT. All were unique taste sensations and were rated as the "best ever". We... More

We were surprised to find this quaint environment. Loved the atmosphere, the service, and the food. Shrimp and grits were as good as advertised and the chicken and biscuits were so good fido not even need the gravy. We will return before the end of our stay!!

This is our first time to Hilton Head and we visited the restaurant based on the other reviews we've read and agree that this restaurant has great food and a great atmosphere! When we come back again next year, we'll be there for sure!!
