Bullies BBQ — Restaurant in Hilton Head Island

Absolutely delicious!! We had one of just about everything with our family of 6! I can’t even name them all but we tried near the whole menu and I had happy kids and husbands all around. My grandson proudly pronounced that the ribs were the best he’s ever had in his life (all seven years) as he danced around the dining area in literal joy. My adult son that is dry as toast said absolutely not one word the entire meal (which means it was the best he ever had too) But forget the food. Which was excellent when I tell you we were doted on the entire meal all the way through the waitress Liz offering to stand on a chair to take a photo of our family (which she did in landscape orientation (total pro lol). We were heartily welcomed and guided through the menu from the first step in the door and tended to by the entire staff. It was a total experience! Thank you Bullies! Full stomachs and a great time! PS DO NOT walk out of that building without getting a blueberry lemon cookie! DO NOT DO IT! (We got ours complimentary since my grandson put on the whole show about the ribs but it was also genius because we bought a dozen before we left so apparently they’re also marketing gurus on top of...

I’m from Eastern Kentucky, BBQ is kind of one of our things. Anytime we travel, either down South or in Texas, we try to hit up local BBQ joints. After seeing ratings for Bullies, we were very excited to try it but were very disappointed with our meal. We got the pulled pork and brisket. While the pulled pork wasn’t bad, it wasn’t smoked, most likely made in a crock pot. No smoked or crusted pieces like you expect on some pulled pork. I only have negative things to say about the brisket. Brisket was extremely thinly sliced, tasted like hamburger (according to my wife) or Arby’s Roast Beef. Sides were pretty good (coleslaw, french fries), mac & cheese was excellent. The jalapeño cornbread tasted like grandma’s perfume and was very dry. If you have no frame of reference, this will pass as adequate BBQ. If you know any better, you will know that this is a glorified imitation of southern BBQ. Service was average, food came out quick. However I feel as though I was getting on the cash register attendants nerves by simply ordering my food. The prices are also excessive for the...

Bullies has easily been my favorite restaurant on the ENTIRE island for all the years we’ve been coming here to vacation. When my husband and I walked in yesterday we knew immediately that it didn’t feel or look the same. I asked the woman that took our order if the place had been sold and she said the employees had taken over the business. I ordered a family dinner so that other family could taste why I love them so much. My hunch of things not being the same were spot on. The ribs had absolutely no rub on them and they were chewy. Besides being rubbery, they were dry as there wasn’t even BBQ sauce on them. We threw away more than half the rack. The cornbread was not fresh and was very dry. To say I was disappointed in the taste is an understatement. I am not one to write reviews but I am hoping the employees see this and step up their game. I told my husband I think that was the last time we will ever eat at Bullie’s and it made me very sad. I wish the original owner a happy and relaxing retirement but it appears that no one can replicate his...
