Nectar Farm Kitchen Old Town

The food is pretty good, and everything feels very fresh and made to order, which makes a big difference. You can tell they care about quality and presentation. The restaurant is located in a very nice and walkable area, which adds to the overall experience. Parking can be limited due to its downtown location, so that part can be a little annoying. Be sure to come hungry because the portions are large and definitely filling.

What a local gem. There were so many good points it's just too many to name. The restaurant had a warm southern charm. Our server Kim was exceptional. She was friendly, answered questions, and provided personal feedback on menu options. We ordered a variety of drinks and scrumptious appetizers. The fried green tomatoes with the goat feta and jam were delicious. No words for the savory crab dip. However, the smoked salmon dip was the favorite. There was a hearty amount of smoked salmon blended well with cream cheese. Next, all the entrees were spectacular, but the delectable Deviled Crab Benedict stole the show. The Nectar Farm Kitchen is worth a visit.

We had an incredible experience at Nectar in Old Town Bluffton this past Sunday. The atmosphere was unbeatable — live music on the back patio, shaded by umbrellas, paired with amazing food made for such a fun vibe. Our kids devoured their meals — two shared the Southern Breakfast and my oldest enjoyed the Belgian waffle. Both were spot-on and not a single bite was left. My wife, who normally isn’t a BLT fan, raved about the Bacon Tomato sandwich. With thick-cut bacon, bacon pepper jam, fried egg, light mayo, goat feta, and toasted country bread, it was a standout — the bacon pepper jam really stole the show. I went with the Fried Chicken Benedict and hash browns. The chicken was perfectly crisp, the poached eggs were done just right, and the scratch-made buttermilk biscuit with sawmill gravy tied everything together beautifully. If you’re in Bluffton, this spot is a must. Great food, great vibe, and a memorable Sunday brunch.

We requested a booth on the reservation and when we got there they put us in a table, when we asked about the booth it seemed like they where put out to help us. BUT our server was incredible and so helpful and we soon forgot about the weird start. The food was so good at a really great price. We will be back.

4th time here and first disappointment. Sunday brunch atmosphere is busy but fun with great music and servers doing their best. However, the kitchen failed miserably. Our server discussed my food allergies with chef and was clearly shut down because they were so busy. The chef offered no suggestions for work arounds to avoid black pepper, but just said “I’ll have to make it plain” I ordered the local shrimp and asked if could be broiled with plain butter and salt. The tasteless boiled shrimp that came out along with plain sides was such a disappointment. No color, no flavor, no butter, no lemon, no anything else. The server and the manager were apologetic, but were at the mercy of the crazy kitchen. My husband’s brunch dish was good and the manager did remove my dish from the check. We frequent all of the SERG group restaurants and even had them cater our wedding and have never before had this experience with attitudes toward food allergies. Based on all of our experiences, we expect better training and attitudes from SERG.

Came in for brunch and it was great. Hot chocolate just okay, but we're snobby about that. Chicken and waffle, very good! Waffle and compote and crispy bacon also very good. Enjoyed every bite.

Great night out to celebrate Veterans Day! Root beer braised short rib and crème brûlée! Ultimate comfort combo on a cold night….absolutely delicious! Sat at the outside bar, which was outfitted with heaters to keep us warm…perfect! Great drinks, great service, we love you Nectar B-Town! Love - The Wrights

Lively brunch spot with music and bustling. So much to choose from on the menu it was hard to decide. The Pickle Chicken sandwich was sweet and spicy. Think Nashville Hot with Honey. Indeed hot. The bowl was tasty and the tortillas the right crunch. Be sure to add a protein. We will stop again to try another of the fabulous choices.

Nectar is amazing! It's been on my list to try since it opened and it did not disappoint! My friends and I sat at the bar and had the best lunch! Even the couple at the seats next to us were raving about Nectar and their food, drinks and over all experience. It was their usually lunch spot and will become ours when we are back in the area! Very kid/family friendly!

Nectar Farm Kitchen is a lovely casual restaurant. The indoor and outdoor space can accommodate an individual to a large group. The restaurant has its own parking lot. It is a decent size. Depending upon how busy they are it can become difficult to get a spot. There is designated golf cart parking too. Folks will park their cars in awkward spots sometimes. Just be aware you may have to do some creative three to five point turns to get out of your spot if the lot is full and someone parked behind you. The menu is priced appropriately. The ambiance and seating inside and outside is well thought out. We sat inside next to the bar on a high top. The seats were comfortable. The restrooms were to our left. We arrived in time to still be seated for brunch on Saturday. The menu is expansive. We ordered the fried green tomatoes as the starter. It comes with bacon jam, goat feta, and a remoulade. The dish was lacking salt. And the bacon jam was unfortunately more like the consistency of bacon jelly with tiny bits of bacon. My husband ordered the duck hash and a side of mac and cheese. Again salt was needed to all, once added he enjoyed his meal. He especially enjoyed the sweet potato biscuit that came with it. He said the mac and cheese was ok. I ordered the bacon tomato sandwich. It was not built well. I had to take it upon myself to rebuild part of the sandwich. The bread which was toasted to perfection, was too big for the sandwich. I ended up ripping off a good bit of it so I would not eat straight bread. The fry chips were delicious, once I added salt. Those were honestly my favorite part of the entire meal! I could eat an entire basket of those fry chips with honey mustard or ranch! They are scrumptious! The service was ok. Our server was polite. She should have checked on us more. And the hostess when we first came in seemed to be having a rough day. But we have all had bad days. Overall I feel that maybe we could have come on an off day is what I am hoping.

Tucked into downtown Bluffton, this is a charming restaurant surrounded by beautiful old buildings. We sat outside in the shade on a late August evening. The fans and shade were able to keep up making it comfortable enough to stay for dinner. We started with the crab dip. I would not recommend this dish. The portion was small for the money with very little crab to be found. Also as you can see from the photo it was greasy which was a first for me in my crab dip escapades. The tortilla chips they serve with it were too thick making them very hard (think break a tooth) and they had no flavor. When our waitress checked in with us we told her about the chips and she offered a baguette. 10 minutes later she came back with 4 slices of toasted bread that we were charged $3 for. For dinner we got the spicy chicken and pickles sandwich and the farm bowl. The farm stand bowl was ok if you were like us and looking for a healthy counterbalance to the fried chicken. I thought the chicken sandwich was tasty though the bottom slice came soaked making it difficult to eat.

Nectar was pretty good, but would say I preferred the old Hilton Head location. My salad was decent, but wish I'd had more greens. I added the fresh catch - a huge chunk of swordfish, perfectly grilled. Two of the people I was with tried the fried chicken sandwich. They liked it, but it's definitely on the greasy side. Portions here are huge, but a few of the dishes seemed a bit overpriced regardless.

On a busy Saturday night, we made reservations and we're promptly seated. Our server was very friendly and suggested a couple of cocktails which we've got and then the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer was delicious. All the meals were very good. The shrimp crab and grits was the stand out in my favorite. Prices were very reasonable and portions were very good size. Well done nectar staff.

Super cute restaurant in Bluffton! Great location in their quaint downtown area and we were seated immediately in the patio bar at high tables. If you want an actual table and you're coming at dinner time you'll likely have to wait. Our waitress was friendly but did not do a good job with service. The patio was not very crowded and she kept disappearing and not taking our order. We finally flag her down to put it in, and our food took almost an hour to come out. She also just kept saying "it's coming and ready in the kitchen" every time she walked by even though we still waited another 15,30,45 minutes. The live music was nice and my bowl was great! Super healthy and lite. Not really enough to be a meal unless you add the additional meats.

Time and Date; March 28 at 6:57pm Staff: Friendly and welcoming Ambiance: Nice environment Prices: Average or above average depending on the food you get off the menu Starter: Crab Cake Entree: Half Fried Chicken Side: Bradford Sweet Fries Dessert: Triple Layer Chocolate Cake Starter: Crab Cake was delicious. The salad it came with was decent, not to my taste buds but could be for yours. All of the food was fresh. The hollandaise was pretty good, first time trying hollandaise as well. Entree: Half Fried Chicken was okay. The creamy Mac and Cheese and Bacon Collard were delicious. Side: Bradford Sweet Fries was basically sweet potato fries. They were okay, I had better ones from other restaurants. Maybe, they will do their best to give me a redo. Dessert: The Triple Layer Chocolate cake was very delicious. Although, they weren't a variety of desserts: the chocolate cake was good. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Follow me on TikTok @ladyisreal23 and on IG @ladyisreal

Service was very slow. Sat at table. Almost 5 minutes before anyone came by with menus. Other five minutes before we saw a waiter. Then almost 10 minutes before she took our order. Food was very good but not worth the wait. By the way. This was a lunch crowd and not even that busy.

We decided to eat here while walking around Old Town Bluffton. The site is newly remodeled and very stylish. The building used to house a brewery and hamburger restaurant when we last visited the area. We had fried green tomatoes for a starter. Our entrees were the country Cobb salad and shrimp, crab, and grits. All were very good. Our server, Madison, was excellent. We likely will return on our next visit to the area.

Very enjoyable experience. Food was excellent. Waitress was very pleasant. Would definitely go back and highly recommend.

Amazing is all I have to say. Even thug was amazing! It is a little loud but food is on point!

This is a Hilton Head restaurant which has a second location in Bluffton. It looked like a nice place to eat inside, but it was a holiday and I had places to be so I got an order to go. It was ready in a timely fashion. My local root beer was not a bottle but was in a cup with ice, so thankfully I was there quickly or I would have gotten a flat watery root beer. It was a good quality soda. My quinoa salad with mushrooms was not huge but delivered a range of flavors and a useful nutritional profile hard to find in this geographic area. Indeed, this is one of a finite number of options for the special dietary needs diner, and it is worth looking into if you need the vegan or gluten-free items of which they had several.

5-26-24 Dinner sat outside 4-21-24 Brunch sat at bar Nectar has proven to be my favorite restaurant in the area. Both visits they were extremely busy but accommodating to take me and my husband without a reservation. The first visit was a Sunday afternoon and we sat at the bar and had brunch. Being so close in proximity to the bartender the service was phenomenal. Started with a Grapefruit cooler which was made up of Grapefruit Vodka, fresh grapefruit and lemon juice and a splash of soda. Hubby had a Bloody Mary both drinks were above average and literally you could sit and drink all day. I had the salad duo of shrimp and chicken salad. It was fresh and delicious. Hubby had a traditional omelette. Needed something sweet so ordered an ice cream sandwich which consisted of two homemade cookies with freshly made ice cream. Unbelievable delicious and not too sweet, big enough to be shared. Next visit on a Sunday evening after 8 pm and they gave us a table outside in the back. We were forever grateful that we even got a table as they close at 9 pm. I had a Coke this time to drink and even got refills. Hubby had a Miller Lite beer. Surprisingly for him he ordered a beef bowl as he normally doesn't eat salads. I had everything from the first section deviled eggs,fried green tomatoes,hush puppies and a crab cake. If I had to pick a favorite I would pick them ALL! There was a lot of OMG as I was eating as everything tasted so delicious. I truly believe you would be hard pressed to find one item that they serve that isn't above and beyond your expectations. I can't wait until our next visit here.

Outstanding dinner Great food we also took our wedding party here they continue to impress Great food Great staff Nice dining experience thanks Paul

Had Christmas Eve dinner here. Second visit after a great experience the first time. Our server Angel was fantastic. Although very busy she never missed a beat! Food was excellent. My wife had the seafood pasta & I the fried seafood combo. Both were great! Lava cake for desert was decadent as well. We will continue to make Nectar a frequent destination!

What an amazing breakfast. I had the loaded bowl. It was fabulous. I also ordered the sweet potato biscuit. Delicious. I highly recommend .

Lovely. Fresh food. Nice atmosphere. A good choice for a lunch experience in old town Bluffton.

We were having too good of a time to take pictures but this place was so cool. Unique menu, lots of farm-to-table concept options, great cocktails, yummy food, friendly service, and a great vibe. Ashton was our server, and he did a fabulous job. He was so patient and accommodating with our inquisitive and high-maintenance group of five. He was enthusiastic and the pleasure he takes in his job was evident!! He had great meal recommendations, was efficient, and even though the place was jamming, he was so attentive. The "Bless Your Heat" drink was our go to. If you like tequila and heat with the perfect balance of spice and sweet, I highly recommend this drink! The deviled eggs were the overall favorite of the table, so much so that we had to get a second order, but every dish we tried was great and portions were perfect. After dinner we made our way to the outside bar for one more round, and Ceejay made us feel like we'd been there dozens of times before--she was so warm and welcoming and answered all of our questions about the restaurant and its history. She was awesome! Finally, we met Leksi on our way out, and just like Ashton and Ceejay and the rest of the gang, she made us feel so right at home. She talked with us about the new downtown architecture across the street and you could tell she appreciated the local art as much as we did! If you're in the area and looking for a casual, cozy, yet refined place to kickback and have a yummy meal and tasty cocktail, Nectar Bluffton is definitely a spot you don't want want to skip. Photo of the single remaining deviled egg that I was able to snap a quick pic of before we inhaled them within 10 seconds of being delivered to our table. Thanks again, fam!

Per a locals recommendation I tried this breakfast place out and wasn't displeased. The restaurant itself was decorated so tastefully. I sat up at the bar and order a vanilla cold brew to start, which was pretty smooth and enjoyable. For my entree I ordered the Dr.Joe's Duck Hash, as this was something unique. I chose the sweet potato biscuit as my side, which was also unique and good. The eggs were overcooked, but still had good flavor. I didn't ask my server to remake them, but the dish would have been much better with some runny yolks. All in all I would like to come back and try some more of their menu items. They also had a nice looking dinner menu as well.

This is my second visit to Nectar and it did not disappoint. The service was pleasant and professional. The space is cute and well decorated. The layout is conducive for groups or date night. The store up fornt offered unique and well priced novelties. I recommend this spot. Their biscuits are worth the entire visit!

Staff is always great and attentive. Food is always spot on. Nectar is always a solid go to for us for dinner.

Service was great, not very busy on a Monday for lunch, which was nice. I got the spicy chicken sandwich, which surprised me with spice, not crazy but I have a high tolerance and it made my tongue tingle. Great flavor, lots of pickles, fries were good too, in my opinion just too much bread. Also got a sour beer, solid. Grandma and mom got the fried pickles which they loved, they also recommend the deviled eggs. Sister got the chicken salad sandwich, it was alright.

This location is my favorite among the two. I like Old Town's vibe and I've never had a bad meal here. Today's challenge was that eating a late lunch (3:30pm) on a holiday meant that much of what we wanted was sold out: no regular biscuits (only sweet potato), no oysters, no tomato hand pies, and the BLT with fried green tomatoes is no longer offered. Instead, we ordered a chicken basket, shrimp & chicken basket, avocado toast, and a veggie omelette. All delicious and served by the kind and polite Alexa.

I've been to Nectar quite a few times, primarily when it was on the island and had good experiences. Now since it has shut down on the island unfortunately we're left with Bluffton's. And to put it softly, it is terrible. The last time I was there. (Maybe 4 months ago?) the service was very bad. Same server was working tonight and we were seated in her section and at least the last time we got acknowledged. Tonight, a family member and I sat and waited for 20 minutes before leaving since no one even came over to our table. Last time we ordered a platter with fish, shrimp, and a side or two. The fish was rubbery and cold. As a chef myself I immediately sent it back to the kitchen because it wasn't fresh nor did the coloration or texture suggest good quality. I didn't leave a bad review last time because bad experiences happen, but twice in a row with a 4 month gap and no improvement is just sad. It wasn't that busy inside, there were probably 6-8 tables occupied. If this is how the service is in off season I'd hate to imagine it during summer. I really hope this place improves, but until then I won't be back.

Very clean with good service. The fried chicken fingers were very tasty and more than we could eat. Took the leftovers with us for tomorrow. Will definitely return.

I was visiting Bluffton for a family reunion and a lot of us met up here for dinner for the first night being in town. We had a big group, and sat outside. Service was great. It was accurate, good timing, and our server was friendly. There was a singer with a guitar performing too and he was great- our kiddo loved dancing to him. The food itself, wow. I bought a bunch of apps to share with my husband and kid, and all was so delicious . The crab bisque was incredible. Even the simple chocolate cake was SO yummy! The food was so good we decided to go back here again the last morning we were in town- we had brunch. Everything again tasted very fresh and tasty!

The waiters mostly stood around talking to themselves only The salmon was swapped out for a lower quality fish The vegetables took up half the plate (frozen,unflavored) and the drinks were tiny.

Very yummy. Good service. Small place and parking is a problem. Will return if in the area.

Always a nice meal here. Farm to table & seasonal type establishment Interesting menu, polite service. A mainstay for the area..

Serge group is a good company. They have an excellent reputation for buying up existing restaurants in the Bluffton / Hilton Head area and allowing them to keep their souls. Meaning the restaurants retain their staff, menus, and ambiance. They dont come in and make major over-hauls. if it aint broke dont fix it or.. break it. Many restaurant groups make this mistake. Nectar, this one and the one in Hilton Head are Serg's first foray on an original design. Their breakfast is good. Here's my problem. 1. overly expensive. 2. Service is always bad. like comically bad. bartenders are often visibly intoxicated. hosts are missing. 3. The logo, in my humble opinion was completely ripped off of the Bluffton Mead Company around the bend. like the EXACT same bee. 4. The chicken sandwich too, seems a LITTLE too much like the one you get at Calhouns across the street. Nectar will do well with better management and finding their own uniqueness. serg just grows and grows and grows. and that's fine, but the labour pool is low round here. growing too fast, results to bad management, poor service.

This place is pretty darn good. Great atmosphere, great music, and great service! Go visit!

Six of us are enjoying the band on this beautiful evening. The service is exceptional and the food amazing. Everyone should try the outdoor patio. It's so much fun!

Not terrible but not amazing. Pretty pricey too. I liked the waffle and pancake but my kids and husband did not. The pancake is a really thin buttermilk pancake it's different from a fluffy pancake but I liked the flavor. The hashbrowns were ok bacon was really good. Eggs Benedict good nothing amazing. The egg sandwich wasn't great. The biscuit is kind of gluey versus fluffy. It wasn't our favorite. All in all not bad but kind of underwhelming. Cute restaurant our server wasn't very knowledgeable about the dishes.

Love this place! Consistently friendly service with really great food! And the house brewed beers are fantastic. My favorite menu item is the pork bowl. It is outstanding!! Be sure to get the habanero sauce on the side so you can control the heat or leave it off if you don't like spicy. It's SO good with or without. Also the Southern Poutine appetizer has the same roasted pork and gravy. It's heavenly!!! Old Town or the island...you'll enjoy it!

Love everything about this place. Great food that is innovative and delicious! Attentive wait staff and lovely atmosphere.

Such a fun spot! This was our first meal when moving to bluffton and a frequent when we have visitors. It's just special enough and not stuffy or pretentious but still an elevated brunch or dinner experience (i've never been for lunch) Great location in downtown and service has always been good

This is one of our favorite restaurants to bring family and friends visiting from out of town. Food is savory from appetizers, main dish's and cocktails. Service is friendly, welcoming and attentive. It's a cute venue with indoor and outdoor seating, live music and an outdoor bar. Great spot for brunch. On our most recent visit I had the seasonal Santa's after work Hot Chocolate with peppermint Vodka -Delish! We will definitely be back.

On our first visit we had a wonderful experience. For our meals, the fish was cooked perfectly and the steak really was medium rare, just as requested. The venue is comfortable and casual, dining available both inside and out. For us, the best part was Reagan, our server and personal guide in a very very good restaurant. She was so personable, attentive and ready to recommend when asked.

Food is good aa usual. Sweet Potato Pancakes and Tomato Pie is great. The atmosphere is beautiful as well the staff. Can't wait to visit again folks. FranknKimm

Awesome brunch! The staff and service was top notch. The spicy bloody Mary even came with a beer chaser.

The honey bun is freaking huge and so delish. I got the eggs Benedict and it was also amazing. The food came out super fast. I paired my food with an espresso martini with baileys and again, it was delicious! Great service, great food. Outside seating is sweet on a not so hot day. Parking was super easy with the gravel lot to the right of it if you're looking at it!

Everything was fantastic from the moment I walked through the door my server Nikki was very kind and helpful the crab dip was so good but the bacon tomato sandwich really hit the spot will be back

We drove in from ATL for Labor Day weekend with our friends and this was our first place we went to eat when we arrived. The atmosphere is nice, the food is amazing & the staff were nice. One of their appetizers that I would recommend is their fried green tomatoes. The sauce they put with it is amazing.. it was weeks ago when I was there and I still talk about those green tomatoes. For my entree I got their chicken salad sandwich and honestly it was really good too. Wish they had one of those restaurant closer to me because I would love to try everything on their menu. 100% recommend this place.

Food and staff are incredible. We had the nicest server, Chrystal. My fiance and I decided to go for brunch and when you walk in, it is the cutest set up. Bees and yellow are my favorite things so it made my heart so happy walking in and seeing the cute things they had for sale. I got the spicy chicken and pickle sandwich and my fiance got the Daves Sandwich. We ended up switching halfway because we both loved both meals, we wanted a swig at both of them. My not spicy loving queens, the spicy pickle sandwich is HOT! My lips actually swelled up from the heat but I was fine and if you ask if me I would eat it again, I would 100% deal with swollen lips to eat the goodness again. Service was a little slower than we are used to but nothing a delicious meal cant fix!

Taking over for the old Fat Patties, Nectar offer indoor and outdoor food and beverage environments. And a breakfast menu that is available all day. Drink options are a plenty, to include cold brew and freshly made espresso and coffee. (With over 21 options I should add.) My chicken finger basket was good, definitely fresh and my friends' plates (sandwiches) both looked well prepared. Plates went away with nothing left, so I have to say that confirmed it. Worth a try if you're in Bluffton!

Goodness! Been here three times and absolutely love Nectar. We've only been to the Bluffton location but know they have another spot, too. When you walk in there is a cute area up front to shop goods. We've purchased honey and a cool smoked olive oil. You can sit inside or outside, and a lot of times there is live music! We've sat outside once and inside twice--in different areas. There is a good buzz of chatter going on but nothing too loud. There is a ladies night special one night a week which sounds FUN! When I ordered a Bloody Mary, which was exceptional, I was also given a sample of their beer. Too awesome! My favorite savory thing has to be their grits. Goodness! One must also try the Belgian waffle. My husband loves the "Southern Breakfast" because he sticks to the basics. Do yourself a favor and stop into Nectar! PS, parking can be limited so don't hesitate to park in a lot across the way and walk over.

What a treat! We found Nectar on the perfect early fall day where we got to sit outside and enjoy live music, delicious food and brunch cocktails. The outdoor setup was really ideal because most of it was covered and allowed for a nice breeze. It was a busy Saturday but the food came out relatively quickly and the staff was friendly. I look forward to coming back.

Nice atmosphere for indoor dining. Waitstaff were nice and quick. Food was excellent. I had the chefs special consisting of steak, crab, veggies and mashed potatoes. All very good. My wife has the country fried portobello mushroom. Also very good but a lot. Overall good choice and worth a return

Delicious!! And THE best server ever!! Reagan was a delight!! Food was awesome and the presentation was amazing
