Captain Woody's - Bluffton

I decided to try out a new driver from the nearby PGA SUPERSTORE. After making my purchase, the woman at the store asked if there was a dog-friendly restaurant nearby where I could grab a bite to eat.

I had a disappointing experience today at Captain Woody's, a popular seafood restaurant in my hometown of Bluffton, SC. I met up with a friend there...

Captain Woody's has raised the bar for the rest of our Christmas trip. We decided to stop on our way to Hilton Head Island after a long day of traveling. Everything about the meal was exceptional.

My mom and I get there at 3:55 pm on Labor Day. He asked to go upstairs but the hostess said it wasn’t open until 4 pm and to wait downstairs. People came in asking about the upstairs minutes afterwards and the waitress told them to go up but the door was locked. Anyway, we all go up after they unlocked it and there was a bar full of people who appeared to be the bartenders friends and had bar stools “reserved” so we couldn’t seat at the bar upstairs. How was there a room full of people if the upstairs had just opened? Anyway the whole experience was awful.

We had a wonderful evening there. As tourists from Germany. The service was extremely attentive and my drink was refilled several times. The food is like home cooking. I was very excited. The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is a bit “shabby”. That's part of the style of the restaurant. There were a lot of locals there at the bar.
