Truffles Cafe

Truffles has been doing its thing since 1983 — locally-sourced ingredients, worldly menu influences, and a classic Southern atmosphere that feels genuinely timeless. This is the restaurant that generations of HHI regulars make a stop every single trip.

The jumbo lump crab cake is one of the best on the island. Not a small claim on an island with a lot of crab cakes, but Truffles earns it. The Gourmet Chicken Pot Pie has a devoted following that borders on religious. It's comfortable, consistent, and beloved in a way that only comes from decades of doing things right.

If you've been coming to Hilton Head for years, you already know Truffles. If you're new to the island, this is your introduction to what a local institution feels like.
