Went here last week again as a repeat customer. I’ve had the Caesar salad, chicken pot pie, tilapia, mashed potatoes and the Parmesan chicken. I always try something different each time. It is quite noisy but food and service have been good so far. I would definitely go back again.

I was pleasantly surprised by the dining experience my wife and i had at Truffles. It isn’t that we had low expectations, but we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves in to. The décor was inviting so we said«why not» Glad we did! They start you off with bread and butter and if you can manage to stop munching on that, you are a better person than me. We had the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer and it was very good. My wife ordered the linguine with shrimp and she enjoyed it. I had the parmesean crusted catch of the day which was a fish called black drum. If it were kosher to do so, I may have licked the plate clean it was so good, but I refrained and settled for a slice of key lime pie instead. In addition to the delicious food, the service we recieved was extraordinary! We will definitely make a visit back to Truffles café. As a side note, they do sell their butter to go, which I recommend everyone get.

In the land of everything fried this is a breath of fresh air. There is some disparities such as cloth napkins and cold bread and butter in paper wrappings. The crab cake was decent, a bit heavy on filler, but resurrected with a mild wasabi sauce. Good mashed potatoes and fresh string beans done right. Not an adventurous dessert menu so I settled for an espresso with a pithy twist. Their glass wines are minimal and a Duckworth Pinot was almost vinegar, but cheerfully replaced with a Rodney Pinot. Friendly servers and no rush dining. Note to bartender– wine by glass need to get rid of air in bottle or wine turns. Note to barista on espresso with lemon twist no pith, pith adds unwanted bitterness to the peel!

So delicious! Fancy feel to the restaurant but the prices are very reasonable. The food is amazing. We had the crab cake, meatloaf, seared tuna, and ribs; all were delicious!

Good food, big salads. A bit on the pricy side but that’s expected in a more upscale place. Always really good about asking about allergies and offering to cook food separate if there is one. LOVE the garlic butter and bread!

My pesto linguine was one of the best I have so far; arugula, sundried tomatoes, pine nuts-all high quality fresh. We’ll definitely come back again since our server Garret, who is really good both very pleasant and knows their dishes very well, recommended us to try their crab cakes and fish for next visit.

I’m sure I will return to Truffles and update this review. I expected to be leaving 5 stars, but one thing changed it. I’ll get to that. First off, my wife and I stopped in for lunch after my mother raving about Truffles. It was convenient for us as we need to go to Kroger before returning home. We were sat at a two top in the bar area. The bartender was our server, and he was AWESOME. The service was impeccable, and that will always make me return. I had a view of the kitchen, and everything coming out of the kitchen I wanted. Since it was lunch, we decided to eat light(really wanted the baked brie in a puff pastry). My wife got a lunch special of a grilled pimento cheese with a tomato dill bisque. I almost got the same thing(and wished I did). It was great. I went for the Napa cabbage salad with Tuna. I figured that close to the ocean the tuna would be fresh. I’m fairly sure it was frozen. I love tuna. I had it cooked medium rare(which it was cooked perfectly). Unfortunately, the tuna was not great. It just had a fishiness to it. I know it is a fish, but this was just off. This is why I thought it was frozen. The salad wasn’t the cheapest thing on the menu either. Sending food back isn’t my thing. I know I should have, but after spending so many years in a kitchen and waiting tables its just something I don’t do. Having said this, it may have been the last batch of tuna they had or some other reason. It would not stop me from going back. Like I said my wife’s food was great, and everything leaving the kitchen looked amazing. I still wish we had gotten the baked brie appetizer.

Stopped in for the first time we were very pleased. Great food and service. Atmosphere is great inside and outside dining. Great find so glad we live close we will be back. Really nice place to bring family when they come.

this place seemed promising considering the other options around. It’s in a strip mall sort of deal but it was close to our hotel. The décor was great and looked like a pretty nice restaurant. It ended up being pretty awful. The food was so-so and absolutely not worth the price. We got the artichoke dip and something else that I can’t really remember(it was that mediocre). We were a little unsure on entrees so we told the server that we would get the appetizers and drinks first and then decide on dinner. The server only came by like 3 times during our 2 hours visit, she walked by and would basically ignore us when we tried to wave her over to order or ask about entrees. We were pissed about that of course. We ended up only getting appetizers and after waiting for the check for like 15 minutes(even though there was barely anyone in the restaurant) and then leaving. We would have been better off going to one of the other chain restaurants, I’ve had better service at a crowded sports bar. Hopefully the service gets better, as a visitor, I would probably never try it again. Though perhaps it was a unique experience because the other reviews are generally positive.

We ate here the past Wednesday evening and it was wonderful. My wife eats here quite frequently for lunch to entertain clients. when I go, it is normally for lunch, or we go for happy hour occasionally. The service and attentiveness was the best I have seen at dinner after living in Bluffton for 14 years. We had the Southwestern chicken and pasta and it was absolutely delicious. The only reason this is a four store instead of a five star review quite frankly is the cleanliness of the restaurant and maintenance that needs to be done. Everything around our booth was extremely dusty, looks like it had not been done in years. The front door for years has been badly in need of re-stain and they never seem to get around to doing it. Same thing for the mirrors, and all the draperies, I would be afraid as to know when the last time they vacuumed them was. Other than that, as mentioned the food and service was fantastic.

This restaurant tries so hard to be upscale(ish) but falls short when it comes to food quality. Lots of presentation and no substance. It is a chain and it shows. Pluses: great tomato basil soup, excellent salads. Minuses: obviously prepackaged food, substandard service There are better options in the area

This review is supposed to be for THECOTTAGE in Old Towne, Bluffton– NOTTRUFFLES! I fancy myself a true foodie, so I can’t give this place 5 stars for cuisine. That being said, it’s pretty darn good. I came here for lunch. I ordered the lobster pot pie and a beet salad. The pie was on par with what you’d expect from an authentic southern place. The salad was meh with canned beets and low-grade Gorgonzola. The complimentary pimento cheese is perfectly Southern. A few dishes I did not order, but looked terrific were the fish tacos, lobster & avocado roll, and the fried green tomatoes. Given the options in the area, this is one of the best. Come on Thursdays and you can also enjoy the neighboring Bluffton farmers market.

This restaurant is actually a chain, and this location is in a strip mall, but it’s nicely appointed on the inside. I had the pork ribs, they were beautifully tender, but not seasoned very well, and simply covered with a very sweet barbecue sauce. This is obviously not where you would travel to if you wanted authentic southern ribs. The fries were good, and the local IPA beer on tap was excellent. Service was decent, but there is little here that is memorable. It’s a business formula. Not much more.

Excellent happy hour at the bar! App menu, beer, mixed drinks and wine — perfect place to stop off after work or go for dinner! Staff is super friendly. Just a great place to hang out or go on a date.

Very friendly staff and love the cream of tomato with dill soup. It’s the best I’ve ever tasted with a dash of fresh cream on top.

We had four different appetizers, they were all great. We are from Maryland and were skeptical of the crab cakes, no need, they were pure lump meat with NO breading, very impressed! Not sure why they call it a café, it is a nice restaurant for dinner; the décor is very nice, elegant. The waiter is very knowledgable and made great recommendations. Two of the party had the shrimp linguine, one liked it the other did not. They brought out a second linguine without us asking, it was much better and hot. Chicken chipotle was good but too much blue cheese. Pork burger was very good but messy. Desserts are good. They also have several nice private dining rooms.

I love the ambience and menu here. It’s a bit upscale without being overly pretentious. The menu is what I classify as «basic». Meaning that it has a little something for everyone. If you don’t like fish, you can have a burger. If you don’t like those options, you can check-out their pasta dishes. Or have a large salad. They have some good«home cooked feeling» type meals like meatloaf and pork chops. The meals are always plated nicely and taste delicious. I love the butter that comes with the bread basket. Two suggestions: 1) Try their flavored teas/lemonades. They crush fresh fruit into them which makes them delish! 2) Make sure if you sit in the side room that you don’t mistake the gigantic floor length mirrors for a hallway. We’ve seen one too many walk into them thinking they were walking into a another room. Oops! I took off one star for service. While the service is usually professional, it’s always a bit on the slow side.

A rainy day at the beach almost always leads to shopping. I would much rather spend such days reading a book, channel surfing or simply taking a nap. Long story short, we headed up to the Tanger Outlet stores. But factually, I too enjoy the outlets. As the outlets sit on the less commercial side of the island, it’s advisable to google restaurants options if you want something more than standard fast food fare. That was the case today and Truffles Café was an easy choice. For me, the name Truffles is synonymous with the terms classy, sophisticated and consistent. I have visited the Truffles locations at Sea Pines and Pope Ave on the Island a few times. I have never been disappointed. There are a variety of menu offerings to include seafood, steaks, burgers, wraps, and the signature baby back ribs. There is an extensive wine list. Each location is different in décor. All are very nicely done. The Bluffton location has huge windows, nice dark woods, a huge wrap around bar, those nice«half curtain» things and more. But, even with the richness, the restaurant still feels casual. I can’t imagine what I would pay for such surroundings and food offerings in NY. Today, we combo’d on the Chef’s special Spinach Salad with salmon and the half portion of ribs. Both were great. The bread was delivered shortly after our beverages and proved up to the Truffles standard. Our Server, Stephanie was a jewel and true professional. The manager even stopped by to inquire and then to bring wet napkins with lemons for cleaning Barbecue fingers. The food was delivered promptly. The presentations were appealing. As you know, I like consistency and reliability. Truffles has both. This is a great stopping spot before entering the madness of the outlets on a rainy day.

This place seems pretty cool for a strip mall restaurant. The food was okay. I had the Crispy Chicken(Fried Chicken) and my wife had some type of fish. I don’t remember. She wasn’t very impressed, but I was at least intrigued enough to where I’ll prolly try them out again. The service was a bit slow and I’m not a fan of young waitresses talking to me like I’m 12. Maybe it’s the Southern«baby» «honey» thing, but I’m like come on, I’m probably 10 years older than her. Anyway, we’ll see if I like it any better next time. Oh yeah, the tables are so close that I felt like I should have given my opinion on whether or not the guy at the next table should drive back to Atlanta that night even though he just had work done on his car. I thought he paid too much for the new tires for his Honda Accord, but it wasn’t like I actually knew them. I just felt like their conversation was at my table…
