My favorite meal has always been the grilled scallops but the last two visits, they have been tough with almost rubbery texture. I should've sent them back but kept thinking, maybe the next one would be better. I'm so disappointed. Maybe I'll give them one...more chance in the future.More

Nice waitress, food was fair to not very good. The Brunswick Stew was so bad I couldn’t even eat more than a few spoonfuls. The best part was the toast!

Very generous portion size. We went late at night & the servers hand off a vibe of they were winding down & not in a hurry for anything. The food was pretty good we tried the shrimp combo plates

It took 20 minutes to see a waitress what was sitting at the bar the waitress finally showed up, took the wrong order. The restaurant is sturdy, the carpet full of trash. We just had a Caesar salad and left.

The Carey Hilliard’s in my area closed years ago and I was excited when my sister informed me that there was one not too far from home! On our way back from visiting Savannah we visited this Carey Hilliard’s and was not disappointed. We were...greeted and seated immediately. Our waitress was very cordial and helpful. We ordered our meals and the turn around time was very quick. Everyone in my group was happy with what they ordered and even walked out with carry outs. The food was really good and the service was excellent. We will definitely be visiting again soon.More

We waited to be seated, not because it was crowded, but because the hostess was off somewhere and no one else offered to seat us. Finally, she arrived and we had a wonderful waitress. My wife had the salmon and I had the smaller pulled...pork. We both declared our meals to be good and would return if in the area again some day. Paying also was somewhat problematic with a line starting and no one taking care of it until one, apparently senior, employee took over at another cash register for those paying by card. Cash payers were taken by the original cashier. That sped up the queue.More

We stayed in the Pooler for about a week searching for a place to move and drove past this restaurant several times. From the outside, it does not suggest how great it is. We were referred by a local resident to try it and told...we would not be sorry. That was some of the best advice we had that week. The food is great and plentiful. The service was exceptional and personal. The bill was surprisingly great for what we consumed. We will be back here many times after we unpack.More

Carey Hilliyard’s is a family franchise that has been around for over 60 years. The secret to their success is consistent, familiar food at a good value price. It doesn’t hurt that a few items on their menu are local favorites!

If I could give this “restaurant” a 0 , I would ! I drove over 45 minutes from Beaufort , Sc for their crab stew (a family fave). It was not the same quality at all, it was slimy and very very thick ! Like...I said , I know this is a stew we have ordered it for years but this time it was DISGUSTING. I called the store and asked for a manager . The “manager” (Sammie) was beyond unprofessional and rude . Her exact words were “Well it is ,what it is “ , she went on to explain to me that they have to change their soup base depending on what is available. And that I should be glad it’s still on the menu . She suggested that I drive 45 minutes to bring it back them . Once I explained to her that wasn’t and option and quickly called her out for her rude , snide remarks /tone. She proceeded to get her boss (Amber), Amber explained that the restaurant does not have the technological capabilities to issue a refund due to their micros system . This I know to be far from true , I explained to Amber that I am a food& beverage manager myself and that you can definitely do that . She then said her Micros system wouldn’t allow it , total fluff because I work and refund customers with Micros . They do not give receipts at curbside , which I find oh so clever. I will be disputing this transaction with my CC company as this is the only route . It’s not even about the money honestly anymore , my check was less than $25. It’s the lack of respect , and customer regard that will may be NEVER return or suggest this place . Both Amber and Sammie (if that’s even their real names) are not equipped to resolve customer issues so I can only imagine them “managing” a restaurant. Very unprofessional and childlike . I had to call another Sav location and speak with a manager to get the GM’s info . I will be reaching out to Blackmore. Do yourself a favor and drive a few more minutes to the Cotton Exchange in downtown Savannah , their Tybee crab chowder is much better. The staff is too!More
