About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for happy hour
LagerHead is not your typical tavern; Chef Michael Toscano, a James Beard “Rising Star Chef” Semi-Finalist, inspires the dining experience at LagerHead Tavern. The name and décor for LagerHead were inspired by the indigenous Loggerhead Sea Turtle and the natural beauty of Hilton Head Island. Developed by Chef Toscano, the menu showcases southern comfort food with a twist, using fresh, regional ingredients and features signature items such as our House-Smoked Chicken Wings and the Low Country Reuben featuring in house pulled pork and smoked ham. The Grilled Salmon Salad is completely unique in that we use fresh grilled salmon that we prepare every morning. Fresh Grilled Oysters are also a Lagerhead Staple, shucked fresh per order and prepared using garlic butter and breadcrumbs for an oyster packed full of low country flavor!!

    We had a great dining experience. We were seated outside and it was quiet and perfect for dining. The food was wonderful and the service impeccable.

    For a Sunday night of Memorial Day weekend, the restaurant was very understaffed. It appeared that there were only four waitstaff available to cover the entire restaurant, including the host stand and bar. Long waits for everything. The staff was doing their best but were clearly overwhelmed. You could see people looking around for somebody to refill water and drinks. Tables were not cleared. It took 15-20 minutes to pay the bill. Appetizer came out with the entrees. The food did come out hot, pasta diamare and flounder sandwich were very good but not the grilled oyster appetizer, which was mostly bread crumbs. Perhaps it was just because it was the first weekend of a busy summer season and the staffing issues will resolve themselves, but we'll wait until off-season to try Lagerhead again.

    My husband went for a casual early dinner. I had the Tavern Cobb Salad (one of my favorites) and he had the Seafood platter. Both of us enjoyed our meals very much. The regular waitstaff members, Ricky, Val, and Cameron, were hustling, as usual. They are always so friendly and welcoming. We love it there!

    great food, can be slow if very crowded; noise level off the charts. Hard to have conversations with your table mates last night. Very large party of adult women ruined the evening for everyone else. Extremely loud and boisterous - not usually like that at LH.

    Wonderful place. Food and service great. Loved the ranch dressing. Server said it is made in house. We had a table by the window with wonderful view of driving range and golf course. Only negative is wine prices. We normally order bottle of wine but they all seemed over-priced. Beer and Blackberry Mule were great alternatives though. Definitely would go back next time we travel to HHI.
