Terrapin is the restaurant at Palmetto Hall Golf & Country Club, at 108 Fort Howell Drive on the north end, and it takes reservations from the public as well as members. The room was recently renovated, with a long bar and a wall of sliding windows toward the course. It is the kind of place golfers stop after a round, but the menu works just as well for a plain lunch or dinner out. If you are looking for Terrapin Hilton Head, this is the one.

What to Order at Terrapin

At dinner, reviewers praise the crab cakes, the salmon and the braised short ribs, and the drink pours are generous. The smash burger is the lunch pick, and Sunday brunch has chicken and waffles that one reviewer called the best fried chicken they had ever had. There is a kids' menu and a brunch menu too, and all of them are linked from the menu button above.
