If you were in Hilton Head Island this past weekend, you might have heard some buzzing about the incredible culinary experiences happening all around town. Our duo, Jesse and Maggie, certainly made the most of their time here, with a particular focus on some local hot spots. So, let’s dive into their delicious weekend escapades!
A Culinary Stop at Lucky Rooster Kitchen and Bar
First up, it’s hard to talk about dining in Hilton Head without mentioning the island’s beloved Lucky Rooster Kitchen and Bar. This spot has won the hearts of many locals and tourists alike with its warm ambiance and hearty dishes. Jesse and Maggie couldn’t resist grabbing a meal there, and their taste buds were certainly in for a treat!
The pair opted for a variety of dishes to get the full Lucky Rooster experience. From the savory fried green tomatoes topped with spicy remoulade to the mouthwatering shrimp ‘n grits, each plate was a hit! They were particularly enamored with the fresh ingredients and the southern twist on classic dishes that put a smile on their faces. And let’s not forget the cozy, welcoming vibe that made them feel right at home.
New Flavors at Kung Fu Cantina
Jesse also took a little side trip to the brand new Kung Fu Cantina located in Moss Creek. This spot is all about mixing tradition with a twist, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! As any adventurous foodie would do, Jesse was eager to try out the various menu items that promise to bring Asian street food flair to the Lowcountry.
Jesse dove into the Kung Fu Tacos, which some might say are “the stars of the show” here. With Korean BBQ beef laid over crispy wonton shells, it’s hard not to fall in love with the flavors. Additionally, the spicy Szechuan noodles added a delightful kick that satisfied Jesse’s spicy cravings. The atmosphere itself is an adventure too, often filled with laughter and friendly chatter from folks who are just as excited about the food as Jesse was!

This event attracted seafood lovers from all over, and Jesse was right in the middle of the action, tasting some of the most scrumptious shrimp dishes you could imagine!
The festival showcased various vendors who put their best shrimp dishes forward, starting from classic shrimp cocktails to tantalizing shrimp po’boys. Jesse, armed with a scorecard, savored the different flavors and presentations, making it both a delicious and fun task!
Jesse shared that one of the standout dishes included a shrimp and avocado salad drizzled with zesty lime dressing. The balance of flavors made it impossible to resist, and let’s face it, who doesn’t love a fresh, vibrant salad, especially when shrimp is involved?
