We enjoyed my husband's birthday visit (except they do not have a free dessert for birthdays). The food was great! I have to eat gluten-free, and there were several options... It was right after the big ice/snow storm, so it was not crowded. Lovely view... and tables outside for warmer days. Parking was right out front. I want to come back in better weather...

We had amazing seats in the booth facing the water. The staff was amazing and very accommodating. 4 ladies out for a girls weekend reunion and we could not have picked a better spot. We had 3 apps and the beet salad was my favorite but the hush puppies were a close 2nd! We had filets, fish and no one was disappointed. Next we headed upstairs for sunset and live entertainment with blankets to keep us comfy. Great night and exciting to visit again on Easter!

Dined at Benny’s for the first time last night, and it absolutely lived up to the local recommendations! Since I was dining solo, I grabbed a seat at the bar, where I was lucky to be served by a fantastic bartender (a newer team member, blonde—I wish I had her name!). Despite the busy atmosphere, she provided outstanding service while expertly crafting drinks for the crowd. I ordered the hush puppies and blackened grouper—both were phenomenal! Can’t wait to return to check out the rooftop bar/restaurant.

We started early on the rooftop deck with a delicious beverage. These views of the setting sun over the water while enjoying the company of our friends was an evening to remember. No matter where you’re seated the wall of windows allows for amazing views. Our waiter was a delight, someone who took pride in giving exceptional service. His demeanor and his willingness to listen and make our experience more memorable was refreshing. Everyone enjoyed a different dish and the fresh fish was delectable. Take the time and get out to Benny’s, you won’t be disappointed.

Just close your eyes and pick anything and you will love it. This place has great seafood with just enough options of non-seafood for those who don't prefer we were a party of 14 and they gave us excellent service. We dined at the main floor which is massive, but they also have a roof top and the patio is full of lawn activities and a beautiful scenery.

Benny's is an amazing spot with a great atmosphere and a 10/10 vibe. The happy hour is definitely worth checking out, with great deals and an even better energy. One of the highlights of the experience is Brooke, the bartender — absolutely the best! Friendly, skilled, and always making sure everyone feels welcome, Brooke truly elevates the whole experience. If you're looking for a place with good drinks, a great crowd, and an unbeatable vibe, Benny's is the place to be.

This is the best restaurant, bar, view in Hilton Head! The food and service were extraordinary! The local oysters, crab cakes and hush puppies were to die for. The mixologist is on pointe with their guava martini and the view of the marshes and Mackey Creek were sublime. The rooftop bar with live music on weekends is the place to be. Hilton Head finally has a restaurant to go with its sophisticate environment!

Loved this new find! We have been coming to HH for years and loved this newer waterfront restaurant! They take reservations and everything was excellent! Wonderful service, drinks, oysters, and food. Give them a try.
