Chamber Restaurant Week kicks off Saturday on Hilton Head and in Bluffton, and this year’s event is offering diners a little more flexibility in the age of social distancing.

In addition to traditional prix fixe menus and discounts for those eating in one of the 60 participating locations, some of the restaurants also are offering the same deals for take-out.

This is something new the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce encouraged this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, said Charlie Clark, the chamber’s vice president of communications.

“People are doing so much takeout and pickup, we thought it was important that folks who wanted to participate had the opportunity to do it in whatever way they are comfortable,” Clark said.

While Chamber Restaurant Week participants were not required to offer takeout options, restaurants that are part of the SERG Group specifically note that takeout is available on their special prix fixe menus. The restaurant group, the largest on Hilton Head, includes Frankie Bones, One Hot Mama’s, Skull Creek Boathouse, Poseidon and others.

“We wanted to be able to provide the same level of service and the same opportunity to those who are a little more hesitant to dine in” because of COVID-19, said SERG director of marketing Ryan Larson.

The event officially runs Feb. 20-27. Hours vary depending on the restaurant, and, in many cases, reservations may be necessary.

The week typically is an opportunity for locals to try new places or revisit old favorites before restaurants become crowded with tourists. This year diners have the added benefit of being able to show support for local restaurants that have endured closures and capacity changes because of the pandemic.

In conjunction to Restaurant Week, the chamber is holding a Taste of the Lowcountry silent auction featuring restaurant experiences such as wine dinners.

Following are the restaurants included on the chamber website’s list of Restaurant Week participants as of Thursday afternoon. We’ve linked to the menus that were available online at that time. In most cases, prices do not include beverages or a tip for your server.
