Watusi's interior mirrors a warm, cozy living room where families and friends can gather and enjoy our food in a casual home-style setting. After a long day around Hilton Head, it's a place where friends can gather to unwind with a glass of wine, or hand-crafted cocktail while enjoying a delicious meal.

Sit inside, or enjoy the warm Lowcountry sunshine on the Watusi patio, outfitted with umbrellas, an array of plants, and fans to create a cool breeze. Bring your pup and order something special from the pet-friendly patio menu.
