Hilton Head Island is home to an impressive restaurant scene, and it has just gotten better. Benny’s Coastal Kitchen is the new kid on the block, but this restaurant is quickly becoming a favorite for locals and visitors alike. The team at Beach Properties of Hilton Head is here to highlight this new restaurant so you can decide if it is worth stopping for a meal during your vacation. Here’s what you can expect when you dine at Benny’s Coastal Kitchen. 

Benny’s Coastal Kitchen

Situated along Shrimpers Row on Squire Pope Road, Benny's Coastal Kitchen boasts stunning views of Skull Creek and the local shrimp boat dock. This restaurant’s name pays homage to the late Benny Hudson, a legendary figure in the local seafood harvesting industry. Given Benny’s namesake and location, it should come as no surprise that the focus is on fresh, delicious seafood. 

The menu at Benny's Coastal Kitchen is a seafood lover's dream, with an array of fresh, locally sourced catches prepared with innovative twists and global influences. Start your culinary journey with delectable small plates like the grilled scallops or the duck croquettes with creamy chimichurri. For your main course, you’ll find a wide range of seafood dishes like whole fried catch of the day, bronzed swordfish, and more. However, Benny's Coastal Kitchen isn't just about the seafood – the menu also features mouth-watering land-based offerings. Beef filets, short rib medallions, burgers, and salads round out the menu, ensuring there is something for everyone.

Pair your meal with a delicious beverage. The restaurant offers an impressive selection of craft cocktails, local and domestic beers, and an extensive wine list. No matter your drink of choice, you’ll find it at Benny’s.

As you step inside Benny’s Coastal Kitchen, you'll be welcomed by a casually sophisticated ambiance that perfectly blends coastal charm with modern elegance. Large windows let in light and offer great views. Right outside those windows is a covered patio where you can enjoy your meal outdoors.

Another outdoor seating option is the rooftop bar, 41 Up. Here, you can sip your favorite drink while enjoying the nice views of Skull Creek and the surrounding Lowcountry landscape. It's the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends.

Before heading to Benny’s Coastal Kitchen, consider making a reservation. As previously mentioned, this new Hilton Head restaurant is already a big hit, so you may have to wait without a reservation.
