Carbon copy of Disney. Which is to say the food, service and atmosphere is exactly what you would find in the theme parks in Florida and California. Dole whips (pineapple only) along with the beignets are straight from Disney world. Always the same friendly customer service. You feel like you're in Disney.

This is DVC Hilton Head's only on-site eatery, and I love it. It's not fancy, but it's good. The prices are also pretty fair rather than resort prices. Most importantly (for us), the people are absolutely amazing. They tried to fill special requests and made normal requests special. The view of the marsh from here is also gorgeous, and the wildlife sometimes comes to visit or just to watch. I eat here at least once a visit. Love Tide Me Over! (Also, we get the mug for our length of stay. Easy peasy!)

Staffing tied me over or second to none. I have been going to tide me over for almost 20 years. I've gotten to know the chef who's worked there for 19. I've gotten to know some of the staff that were there for 5 years. They provide treats when you are a continue coming guest. Show the cast some love and they will do the same to you. Enjoy the food here that it is just as good as what they have on Disney's Beach area and for 8:30 to 5:00 you can't go wrong

Love that Disney has really stepped up the options here! There’s the typical chicken fingers, burgers etc but now have added Beyond burgers, great salads. Everything is fresh and delicious.
