About this list

Sunday brunch on Hilton Head runs later and slower than the daily breakfast crowd. Most of the restaurants below open at 10 or 11 a.m., pour mimosas and Bloody Marys, and serve Benedicts, waffles and crab dishes rather than a diner plate of eggs. A few also do brunch on Saturday.

Hours change, and several places set their Sunday menu apart from the regular one, so confirm before you go. If you just want pancakes and coffee any morning of the week, see the breakfast guide. Holiday brunches, Easter and Mother’s Day brunch in particular, fill the sit-down rooms first, so book those as early as you can.
