FOOD<br />
A Lowcountry Backyard Restaurant<br />
By Louise Lund<br />
Dave Peck, owner with his wife Raina Peck, of<br />
A Lowcountry Backyard Restaurant, grew up<br />
on Hilton Head Island, moving here as a boy in<br />
1977. “Those were completely different times<br />
and we enjoyed the simple life. There was<br />
only one flashing light here, no stoplights and<br />
traffic circles. We had a swing bridge that got<br />
stuck all too often. Highway 278 and Palmetto<br />
Bay Road were only two lanes, and there were<br />
no fast food restaurants.” They had oyster<br />
roasts on the May River and cookouts in the<br />
woods in the Forest Preserve in Sea Pines. “A<br />
Lowcountry Backyard Restaurant brings back<br />
those simpler times and the great food we<br />
grew up on,” Dave said.<br />
The Backyard Restaurant has been serving<br />
Lowcountry grub for the past 10 years. They<br />
were featured on the Travel Channel for their<br />
house specialty Shrimp and Grits - fresh<br />
shrimp, smoked sausage and shaved green<br />
onion over applewood bacon cream sauce<br />
with the best grits you’ll ever taste!<br />
Trip Advisor voted them Best in the State<br />
for their Potato Chip Meatloaf, which is<br />
ground pork and beef, seared and brushed<br />
with moonshine BBQ Sauce and topped with<br />
caramelized onions. The Island Crab Cakes,<br />
sautéed lump crab cakes topped with a lemon<br />
dill sauce, are the best you’ll find anywhere!<br />
Dave said his chef training is from the sandbar<br />
of May River and the woods of Sea Pines. “I<br />
grew up exchanging recipes with locals and<br />
with chefs and practiced those dishes until<br />
they were perfect.”<br />
“We have a full bar, complete with beer, wine,<br />
and cocktails. We feature South Carolina<br />
Moonshine. Try the Moonshine Punch,<br />
or Lemonshine, which is moonshine and<br />
lemonade!” Live entertainment is offered 6<br />
nights a week in the backyard. The Lowcountry<br />
Backyard Restaurant serves lunch and dinner<br />
and Sunday Brunch, and is located at 32<br />
Palmetto Bay Road, in the Village Exchange.<br />
Dave and Raina have recently opened another<br />
restaurant, Bad Biscuit. Decide if you want<br />
a biscuit sandwich or a smothered biscuit.<br />
They offer a variety of toppings – sausage<br />
