British Open Pub

I believe — no I will never — step foot in this restaurant again. Bar service is horrendous and staff working were not the healthiest with the coughing and hacking and lack of customer service. Seems they pick and choose who they choose to serve and speak to. Food has always been good. Service has been sketchy in the past in the bar area and tonight confirmed and was the cherry that finished that location of BOP in my world. Yes they had redecorated and made it more pretty and inviting but the bar staff is tanking your establishment. May need to take a good look at the reviews and make some bar staff changes! I have read other reviews that seem to have the same issues with this establishment!

I read these reviews praising this place; I was excited. It did not live up to the hype. Service was fine, menu options were good. The food, however, was quite average. Good quality meat with little seasoning. Flavorless chips. Packaged gravy. Chewy bread pudding. The days of blah British food are gone. Not bad for bar food but expected more from this pub.

We went in last night for dinner. It wasn’t very busy for a Saturday night. But I was glad about that. We were seated quickly, and before we even opened our menu, our waiter Rodney was asking us if we’d like a drink. I’m a fan of good quick service, but give me a minute or 2 to get situated before you run up to us for a drink order. When we get our drinks, we’re asked if we’re ready to order. We were so we’re asked what we’d like. We order a kids shrimp and chips, a chicken pot pie, and the seafood platter fried with a side salad no tomatoes (due to an allergy) the salad comes out from the kitchen, and the food runner just says side salad? I tell him It’s mine, and he drops the plate in front of me and just walks away. The first thing I noticed after he dropped my salad was that it had chunks of tomatoes in it. It seemed to me that he knew it was wrong, and just ran back to the kitchen so as not to have to deal with it being wrong. I waited till Rodney showed up again. About 5 minutes (funny, he was at our table within 30 seconds to get a drink order) when I told him the salad had tomatoes, he just reached down and grabbed the plate, a few minutes later, the salad comes out fine. We then get our dinners brought out,(before I finish my salad) the food runner again auctions out the food (thats a restaurant term for asking the customers who ordered what) totally a minor league move.
There should be a seating chart, with table numbers and assigned seat numbers. Anyway he drops the food again, and before I can ask him for vinegar or Tabasco sauce. He was gone. As I start to eat my seafood, the first thing I grab is a scallop. As I bite into it, I realize the scallop was rancid, sour, and smelled so spoiled that it made me gag. I asked one of my friends to smell it, and they quickly turned their head in disgust.
I put it to the side, now I was determined to find out if this was an odd scallop or if they were all bad. I opened another. And yet another, all 3 of them were so bad, and smelled that I called Rodney over again. I told him that the scallops were spoiled, and before I could say anything else he huffed, grabbed the plate and went back to the kitchen. Had he stopped to ask if I wanted something else I would have just told him that I only wanted the fish and chips. But he didn’t, so as my boy and our friend ate their dinners. I was sitting there waiting for mine. When it did come out, I was eating alone. I opened and smelled the scallops just to make sure they were good. They were. But I had this rancid taste in my mouth the rest of the night. When we were close to being finished, Rodney simply placed the check down, and excused himself. Never once did he ask if we wanted dessert. Or even apologize for the screw up on the salad. Then the seafood platter. I don’t quite understand how this place could one day get 5 stars from me. Then less than a year later lose all but one. The last time I was served spoiled fish from a fish and chip place was almost 5 years ago at a place called Katy O’Donnell s. I have never returned and never will. I like the BPO, But I will have a very hard time coming back.
I didn’t expect my check to be comped, but I did expect some sort of apology, and maybe a visit by the Manager. But all I got was a $ 50 plus bill. I’m going to have to really think long and hard about referring anyone to this place. I don’t want to mislead anyone into thinking that this place is nothing more than a mediocre place. It’s too bad, because I gave them 2 stars the first time I was there, then 5 stars the last time but today I can only give them one because of all the mistakes that were made. I’m a local, and my boys and I eat out at least 3 time a week, but we won’t be going to the BPO anytime soon

Came in tonight for some mediocre fare offered by the lackluster staff at the British Open Pub.
And much to my pleasure we were promptly seated in a booth in the rear of what was a somewhat busy dining room.
After perusing the menu for approximately 10 mins with no contact from any of the staff, another member of my dinner party made contact with the hostess. The hostess said she’d get someone right over to our table.
Well after sitting for another 5 minutes AND having wait staff service the tables around ours without even making any eye contact we promptly left to go enjoy dinner at Golden Corral — at least there we won’t be waiting for a fuxking eternity for some service.
I hope your business craps the bed!

My wife and I stop in a couple times per month mainly Friday or Saturday night, sit at the bar and love it. We stick mostly to traditional British fare and are never disappointed. The bangers and mash are top notch and the fish and chips (usually on special) is plentiful and delicious. The beer selection is good as well as the scotch & whiskey. Perhaps a suggestion would be a rotating new beer from the UK to give me something new to try but I’m happy with my Boddingtons. Derick is a friendly and efficient bartender who always puts a smile on our face.

We love this place! We take the kids and they are always so good about having them there which helps them behave better. If anything is wrong they take it back and make it right. Great servers too!

All food in Bluffton are ia overpriced and this place is definitely no exception. Food was ok. Fish and chips were pretty darn oily. However, it was not short n serving size. I was definitely full when we left.
My wife liked the liver and onions dish. My parents enjoyed the sheppards pie, although it di not look that good to me. But their beef sandwhich looked very tasty.

Eh. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. It is British themed, but definitely not a British Pub. The food was decent enough, but also definitely not genuine British fare.

Love coming here for Saturday Brunch. Free scones are DELICIOUS, eggs Benedict are always perfect, and pancakes are amazing.

Golf themed restaurant/​pub. Fish and Chips were excellent. Big menu! Older crowd mostly and service wasn’t bad. Would return again!

One of my favorite restaurants I’m Bluffton, SC. Its located right across the street from Barbers of the Lowcountry. You have to try their French onion soup, best ever. Service is always great and friendly.

For a spot serves standard pub/​bar food, this places excels. It’s the service that sucks.
Enjoy all the golf stuff on the walls. It is on Hilton Head, a popular golf destination.
I highly recommend the duck wings. They’re drenched in a delicious chipotle sauce. I couldn’t easily taste that it was duck but it was damn good. Crispy, saucy, heavenly.
This place sucked in service. I mean, terrible. Our waiter had no personality and wasn’t even helpful. You should always bring a drink menu, assume that one halfway through his/​her meal would want a refill and pretend that you just a bit happy to be working.
Take out duck wings is going to happen this week.
