We ate here instead of Paula Deen's after reading the reviews on this site. We were sooo glad we did! The food was as good than my late grandmother's--and she was the best cook I have ever known. The fried chicken and greens were absolutely the best ever and we took the leftovers home and enjoyed them the next day.... more

Excellent low country food, excellent & friendly service more

Just finished Sunday buffet lunch at Dye's Gullah Fixin's and had such a great meal. Fried chicken, BBQ, and meatloaf were just a couple things served today. Beans & rice, mac & cheese, and 6 other side dishes all fresh from scratch. The owner came up to us and explained how she only cooks items from the Gullah culture using... more

Went there last night, after reading the reviews on this site. The buffet was on, and I'm usually a little skeptical of buffets. This was the best meal I've had on the island -- my wife agreed, and she's been coming here for 15 years. The catfish was outstanding, the fried chicken was incredible, and the mac and cheese was... more

My wife and I plus our three boys (aged 12, 9 and 7) had decided to visit Dye's Gullah after reading the positive reviews on TripAdvisor plus the review of Gail Westerfield in Lowcountry Life, the local Hilton Head paper on August 13, 2008. We were visiting Hilton Head on vacation. We arrived at about 7pm and Dye came to... more

Read the reviews and decided after too much seafood that some southern food would be a good choice. When we arrived there was anyting but a nice greeting, more like rude. We should have left then but since it was getting late we didnt. I had the fried chicken(was dry and nothing special as far as flavor), green beans (yuk),... more

We just had the buffet at Dye's and it compares very favourably to Wilkes Boarding House. The collard greens and sweet potatoes were better than Wilkes and the ribs were first class. We weren't as blown away by the mac and cheese as other reviewers but all in all this is a good, down home place to eat. more

My wife and I just ate at Dye's. Service was impeccable. Dye took our order herself and proceeded to prepare the meal from scatch. We had a chance to talk with her. She's Gullah and taught at the HH school for years. She retired from the school and opened this restaurant. Nice atmosphere made even better by her presence; she's... more

We had the pleasure of dining here on July 29,2008. At first it was just a party of 5. Our extended family who was vacationing with us called and decided to join us. When I asked about 8 more joining us, at first we were told no, even though the place only had one other party. I felt a bit... more
