Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"That restaurant was amazing.. I had the brisket stroganoff.. OMFG one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had anywhere in the world. I was shocked.. I thought I would like it because I like that dish and it was a specialty of there's but I wouldn't ever think it would be better than pasta at basically every Italian restaurant... At a BBQ place??? My wife's dish was very good also. She had smoked fried chicken.. it was special because it was different and done very well. The Carolina Gold sauce was spectacular. Overall everything we ate was ether well above average or something special. Service was good enough and the atmosphere is nice for a BBQ place. Definitely worth going to."
"I walked in thinking I had an hour, but they had just changed to winter hours and were closing. But I'm so thankful they took the time to who me to something delicious to go. I ordered a cup of their burnt ends chili (with a bit of delicious cornbread), and the nachos. They were exquisite! Not only ready and packaged in just 10mins, but hot, fresh and flavorful. The meat on the nachos was plentiful and the pieces of burnt ends in the chili were huge. It was delicious. And they were priced reasonably, and I was given very friendly and prompt service by multiple people. The dining room was very comfortable, though I didn't get to stay long, it overall was a great experience with great food, atmosphere and service. They are a turn just before the immediate entrance gate to the Pines, but don't worry if you miss them, the Pines will let you turn around without needing to pay."
"First time visiting the Hilton Head Island location. We shared a few appetizers and two meals. All were very good. The honey jalapeno cornbread was delish-it was light-not heavy and dense like most cornbread. My husband had the smoked fried chicken. Plate was HUGE! The breading was light and chicken was moist. We did feel the breading could’ve used a bit more seasoning-was quite bland.his sides were the Mac and cheese and the collards-best collards we’ve ever tasted! Mac and cheese was very good, as well. I got 8 grilled wings-half hot Asian and half strawberry jalepeno. Both were good-the hot Asian were more sweet and mild, but the strawberry jalapeno had quite a kick, yet both were advertised as the same heat level and they definitely were not. We also tried the burnt end brisket chili. I loved it-hubby not so much-he felt it was too sweet, but to me a bit vinegary, however, with each bite, I liked it better and better! There were several other menu items recommended and would love to try….had to save for another time if we are in the area again. Portions were plentiful and we wound up taking half of our food home! Service was quick and server was top notch! Reasonably priced and great atmosphere with lots of TVs to watch your favorite game!"
"Sam the man as our server, he was great and attentive. Food id give an 8/10. Mac n cheese was room temp at best, smoked fried chicken was a tad too cooked. But the highlight of this establishment was the woman's restroom! Salt scrub!!! Yep you heard me, salt scrub for those hands. Silky smooth hands after dinner. Highly recommend using that washroom while visiting, I did 3x! Overall 9/10."
"We came in for a late lunch around 2pm on a Friday and it was pretty quiet. My wife had the Southern Salad (not exact but came with pulled pork), and I had the Ribs and smoked fried chicken, with dirty rice w gravy, and baked beans. We started with the grilled chicken wings and they were some of the best i've had. Sides were fantastic! The chicken and ribs were good, though ive had better. My wife enjoyed her salad but could only eat half as it was sizable for her. Overall very good food. Very reasonable price for BBq. Service was good, though slow at times, and the atmosphere typical for a bbq joint. One oddity, though nothing big, was the bathroom being located in a separate building from the restaurant."
"Stopped in at One Hot Mama’s while on Hilton Head, and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent from start to finish. The Stack-A-Mac was amazing. Creamy, cheesy, and the smoked brisket on top was perfect. Easily one of the best appetizer dishes I’ve had in a while. I also had the Onion Haystack Cheeseburger, and it was outstanding. Perfectly cooked medium-rare burger with great flavor and the crispy onion straws that gave it the right crunch and sweetness. Good service, fun atmosphere, and solid BBQ all around. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area."
"A really good BBQ place. We were able to try 4 of the meats and they were all excellent. The flavor of the meats was so good that you really didn't any sauce. The chili is also as good as advertised. They have a huge patio area which is pet friendly."
"First meal after arriving & it neva disappoints! She had fried chicken & ribs with baked beans & collards. I tried the BBQ lovers=ribs, pulled pork & brisket with lime beans & mac&cheese. Everything very good...we even ordered a lb of brisket for later! Jalyn was our server & she was very attentive & efficient."
