First Night of Vacation Meal Delivery

The first night of your Hilton Head Island vacation should feel like a deep exhale—not a scramble to find pots, pans, and run to the grocery store. After hours of travel and settling in, give yourself permission to skip the stove and let someone else do the cooking. Ordering out is the perfect way to ease into vacation mode: you get to sample local flavors, discover hidden gems, and keep the kitchen pristine. Beachside Getaway has several options below that we think you will love. Whether it’s a gourmet pizza on the balcony or international cuisine delivered to your doorstep, takeout turns that first evening into a no-fuss feast, leaving you more time for sunsets, unpacking, and pure relaxation. 

Meal delivery apps like Uber Eats and Door Dash, easily accessible on Hilton Head Island, make it effortless to relax while your favorite meals come to you—no groceries, no cooking, and real-time tracking from kitchen to doorstep.  If you have never signed up for an account, consider it for your next vacation to Hilton Head Island to make that first night smooth and easy!  (We’ve posted the instructions to create an Uber Eats or Door Dash account below. We hope you will find helpful.) 

Here are some of our favorites on Door Dash on Hilton Head! 

1.    For fastest delivery: Mi Tierra.  Mi Tierra on Hilton Head Island delivers the kind of comforting, flavor-packed Mexican food that you will love. The menu has Mexican staples like like fajitas and quesidillas, but also has a variety of housemade scratch dishes that are authentic. With well-seasoned grilled meats and generous portions, every plate feels hearty and satisfying, making this a great value restaurant, too. https://www.mitierrahiltonhead.com

2.    For best sushi: Okko.  With monster sized rolls, Okko delivers classic sushi rolls like tuna maki and salmon maki and innovative rolls like the Range Rover Roll and Surf and Turf Roll. You will want to scale back on the number of rolls you order, the specialty rolls are abnormally large.  This is not a cheap delivery, especially for a large group, but one that is a treat!  You can also order off the hibachi menu. The kids hibachi steak is a generous portion, big enough for most teen boys – so consider when ordering. https://www.okkohhisc.com

3.    For pizza: Mellow Mushroom: Fans love Mellow Mushroom for its hand-tossed, stone-baked pies with a chewy, airy crust and a crisp edge. The sauce is bold without being overpowering, the cheese melts into a bubbly, golden layer, and toppings are generous—ranging from classic pepperoni to creative combos with fresh veggies and premium meats. We like Pacific Rim with mozzarella, ham, pineapple, caramelized onions, jalapenos, and bacon. The Great White has an olive oil and garlic base, ricotta, mozzarella, provolone, Roma tomatoes… they are truly gourmet pizzas you will love. https://www.mellowmushroom.com/locations/sc/hilton-head-island/33-office-park-rd/

4.     For something unique: Ruan Thai offers a wide range classic Thai dishes—fragrant curries, zingy soups, and stir-fried noodles—prepared with fresh ingredients and balanced sauces. We love the Yellow Curry, Panang Curried Shrimp, and the Green Curry dishes. Portions are not extremely generous – a heads up that you may need more than you think. https://www.ruanthaicuisine.com

5.     For Asian: Asian Bistro is well priced and offers Japanese and Chinese food and Thai. Looking to satisfy everyone with easy and quick delivery? We love Asian Bistro that offers a great selection of sushi classics and traditional Chinese dishes that are crowd pleasers.  Our kids love the lo mein and fried rice, along with tuna rolls.  Classic and easy, Asian Bistro is reliable and affordable plus it’s satisfying for large crowds. https://asianbistro9888.com
