Here are 5 things to know ahead of Hilton Head and Bluffton’s Restaurant Week 2025
The 17th annual Chamber Restaurant Week is right around the corner for Hilton Head and Bluffton, set for Jan. 25 through Feb. 1.
With over 80 participating restaurants in previous years, it’s the perfect way to visit those new places you’ve been dying to try or see what the hype is all about for local favorites.
But it’s always good to know what to expect. For most participating locations, diners will choose between options listed in a prix fixe menu at a set price, which usually makes dining cheaper but does limit your options.
You can find a list of all the updated locations on the Chamber’s Restaurant Week page and follow our updated list here.
Here are five important things to know ahead of this week that’s full of food and fun.
1. Plan where to go
With so many options and so little time, make sure to plan each location you want to visit. Every restaurant will have different hours and offerings, so don’t forget to check those out too when deciding where to go. It’s also helpful to plan transportation if you visit a location serving deals on alcohol.
2. Check the menus
Restaurant locations and menu offerings are updated daily and even throughout the event. It’s always useful to check back with the locations you hope to visit to make sure there’s something on the menu for you to enjoy.
3. Make reservations
Certain locations do require guests to make reservations before dining. Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce offers the ability to make reservations through its website for some of the restaurants, but it’s always worth it to double-check on each restaurant’s website.
4. Not everything is included
Tip and gratuity are not included for prix fixe meals for most locations and beverages are not included with many others. Going back to tip number 2 … always check the menus and pricing when deciding where to go.
5. Have fun
Chamber Restaurant Week is one of the best ways to get to know our community. By visiting multiple locations, trying new things and making a list of all the places you want to try, Restaurant Week can become so much more than a plate of food, but a way to connect with local businesses.
