If you are planning on making a great dinner at home, stop and visit Barnacle Bills Seafood mid Island on Highway 278 (next to the old log cabin gas station).  Bill’s is a landmark and tradition on the Island with his seafood stand and his great attitude.   Not only will he entertain you, he will also help you select the freshest of seafood.  He specializes in locally caught seafood including Tuna, Snapper and other catchesof the day(he gets three deliveries daily so you can be assured it is fresh).  He told me he does not just verbalize how fresh it is, he helps others visualize what to look for when buying seafood.   Below is a note from Bill and to the left is a recipe for boiling shrimp(click on the photo on the left to make it larger)….his secret is to move it off the heat as soon as he puts the shrimp in! 

Barnacle Bill’s…for All Who are Fond of a Blissful Experience

With 30 years of promoting and marketing fresh seafood on Hilton Head Island times have changed.  One of the few things that has remained consistent is the freshness and variety at Barnacle Bill’s.  With fresh deliveries arriving 3 times per day, the customer is assured of top quality and high shelf life.  When the customers arrive, the experience is not verbal but visual.  The senses assume control and the questions are answered.  Come visit, relax, experience the difference.  Enjoy the live music and free refreshments.  We have the prices and atmosphere that will make you smile.

Thank you,

Barnacle Bill

P.S.  ~ If you mention “Robbie Bunting or Blog Hilton Head Realtor” when you are at Barnacle Bills, he will give you a 10% Discount.  (expires July 17, 2010)

Dear Clients, Friends and Fellow Associates~

Listed below are some great ideas and restaurants for your Thanksgiving Day Feast on Hilton Head Island.  This list was put together by our friend and Realtor Beverly Serral after polling agents on the Island for their suggestions.  This is a great list of ideas that varied from someone’s home to a list of restaurants provided by the Chamber.  We will update this list for next year, so please feel free to share with us any additions or comments.        
 

Who is open for Thanksgiving Day on Hilton Head?

• Check Kenny B’s.  I think they were open last Thanksgiving and they are awesome!!
• CQ’s and Old Fort Pub have special Thanksgiving Day menus
• HH Prime at the Hilton, seatings at 11, 1, and 3…..I’ve heard their other food is fabulous, so this might be an idea for your customers.
• Have you heard about the buffet in Sea Pines at theTopside Grill @ Harbourtown’s on Thanksgiving Day (11/26/09) from 11:30 am until 8 pm? It is priced at $28 adult ++ and $14 child (under 12) ++.
•  I had heard that the Westin Resort has a nice Sunday buffet.
• The Carolina Cafe @ the Westin can be called at 681-4000 to make a reservation for their $30/$15 adult/child Thanksgiving Day buffet.
• The Westin has always had a really great buffet for Thanksgiving. 
• Check with Skillets for breakfast that day.  HH Diner is probably open but Skillets has MUCH better food and atmosphere!
• I know that Mainly Sandstone Catering is offering a dinner delivery or to pick up at their restaurant-their food is very good.  Also Christines catering usually offers the same. (Find both online)
• I think Hudson’s has a nice dinner, give them a call.  A great LowCountry Feast
• I know you can order the whole meal from Fresh Market. (check online for menu!)
• My in laws went to the Holiday Inn last year and said it was really nice.  It was a beautiful day so after they ate they went for a walk on the beach.  They loved it.
• Bill Miles from the Chamber forwarded restaurants open on Thanksgiving.  The attached is a list click here Thanksgiving Dinner 2009 of those that have notified the Chamber.   The Chamber telephone number is 785-3673 and the receptionists at the front desk will have an  updated list.
• Go to Hudson’s!  It is a huge event and offers a great gathering and feast for free….although donations are appreciated.
• Check out one of the cruises, Spirit of HarbourTown???   I think they cook dinner and have a cruise.
• Our church puts on a dinner at Hudsons.  Call Gloria LaCoe she usually is involved.  Not fancy but good fellowship.  (Ahh- call Gloria LaCoe!)
• Order to go from Bess—the boneless turkey is great and so are the sides!  (see attached)
• Robert Irvine’s EAT!  HAPPY THANKSGIVING Thursday, November 26, 2009 3 – 8 p.m.
• Our house (should I tell you who this is???) and u are welcome (thank you!) other than that the Westin puts on a good spread and if Redfish is open again they go all out. God bless
• Order your food from Karls Ultimate BBQ   RIBS, Brisket and pulled pork and have it ready

We hope you are joining us on the Island for Thanksgiving!  We are thankful for our Island family, fellow associates, our clients, our friends and our Island!  Happy Thanksgiving!

With Gratitude on an Island,

We are,
Robbie Bunting & Jane Hyers
