Nestled amidst the ancient, moss draped oaks in Harbour Town, CQ's combines great fun, fine dining and a touch of Hilton Head Island history. CQ's has the feeling of an old, cozy, and comfortable inn. Heart-of-pine floors, wooden mantle pieces, stained glass, and the photographs and memorabilia of the Lowcountry culture all contribute to the charm that has made CQ's the place to dine since 1973. Inspired by the abundant varieties of fresh seafood, beef and game available. Our chef creates dishes that are best described as contemporary American with classic influences. Recognized for having the most extensive wine list on Hilton Head Island, CQ's offers more than 400 wine selections with over 70 poured by the glass.

    We had not been to CQ's in about 2 years. We brought friends with us and had a wonderful time. Our waiter, Jacob, was excellent - very personable and very helpful. He gave us good advice on some of the food items we were considering. Everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed their meal and the drinks were excellent as well. We will be back.

    Michelle was an excellent server. Very personable & knowledgeable. Fried green tomatoes were outstanding. Make sure to try the blueberry cobbler. Ambience/interior was so charming. We will be back!!!

    Everything as usual was incredible!!! That said CQ's seems to be one of the few finer restaurants that doesn't use Luxardo cherries in their Old Fashions. Big let down.......
