Review:
“Once again, we enjoyed a fun evening in Bluffton. Calhoun Street Tavern featured live music, a diverse menu that included fresh fish and seafood (rather than just a piece on protein on a bun, although they have those choices too). I enjoyed the crab-stuffed flounder while my husband had “the heart attack” on a plate prime rib melt with a side of mac ‘n cheese. Linda’s personality kept us entertained while she provided excellent service. “

“Stopped here on our way out of town on a Saturday morning snd wasn’t disappointed. Plenteous if seating indoors, on a patio, or outdoors. Great cozy and charming feeling spot. We had pancakes, french toast, and the waffles and all were delicious. Staff was helpful.”
“Casual locally owned breakfast/lunch spot. No frills but very tasty food. Cows and license plates to look at everywhere. If I was a local I’d be a frequent customer.”

Reviews:
“I had the captains trio with no scallops, since I am allergic to them. They added more shrimp. It was really delicious. We also had the crabcake appetizer with lemon aioli sauce. That was also very good. My husband had the fried shrimp basket and said that the breading was a little spicy for his liking. But the shrimp were very good sized. Nice, casual atmosphere. Service was great.”
“I started with 1/2 dozen oysters, very good. I had the Surf and Turf (Rib Eye and Fried Oysters) and my wife had the Grilled Cod. My steak was unbelievable. Along with the shrimp it was really great! My wife loved her dish. We ate at the bar and the bartender was awesome. Great drinks and perfect ordering.”

Review:
“My wife and I just moved to this area from NorCal. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much in terms of Mexican food. What a bad assumption! My wife’s margarita was exceptional (my beer was cold! 🙂 ) chips were warm and salsa was flavorful and fresh. My carne asada was excellent. My wife got the macho combo to get a nice sample. Each item (enchilada, taco, chile relleno and tamale were super fresh and extremely tasty. The rice and beans were even more impressive! Glad to know we now have a go to Mexican restaurant! Well done, Mi Tierra! See you again!”

“Best BBQ in Bluffton
While visiting my parents in Bluffton, they took us to the “best barbecue place in Bluffton”. They were so right. From the time we walked in the door, the smell of wonderful barbecue was mesmerizing. Restaurant is intimate in size but so large in taste. Food was amazing. Everything was top shelf in barbecue. Husband and wife team prepares the food personally for you. Both are so friendly. Enjoy.”
