Bluffton Family Seafood House
Hours
Bluffton Family Seafood House is the sit-down restaurant of the Bluffton Oyster Company, the family seafood business on the May River. It is at 27 Dr. Mellichamp Drive, Suite 108, in the small block of shops and restaurants beside the oyster factory. The Toomer family harvests local seafood, and the restaurant's own line is that what it serves is what it catches.
What to Order
The seasonal menu centers on oysters, shrimp, crabs, clams and mussels from local waters. Oyster season runs September 1 through May 15. Reviewers praise the fried oysters and shrimp, the hush puppies and the collard greens, and say the kitchen also grills, broils and blackens seafood for guests who avoid fried food. One reviewer notes it handled a gluten-free order well.
Hours and Reservations
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and closed Sunday and Monday. Groups of eight or more should call (843) 757-0380 ahead. The atmosphere is casual, and the restaurant takes takeout orders.
The Oyster Company Next Door
The restaurant and the Bluffton Oyster Company retail operation are two sides of the same family business; ask at the counter about buying oysters to take home. For every restaurant in town, see the Bluffton restaurants or the Bluffton dining guide.
What reviewers say
