Bluffton is the fastest growing municipality in South Carolina. To help serve the rapidly expanding population, many restaurants have decided to set up shop on the mainland.

In search of oysters, pad Thai, spanakopita, sole meunière, jerk chicken, pimento cheese, crab cakes or churros? No need to cross the bridge. You can find all of those items on Bluffton menus. Gone are the days when it used to be hard to find a kitchen open past 9 p.m.
