Their large outside patio has a retractable roof, fire pit, sandy "beach" area with a Tiki Bar and live music several days a week.
We recommend: "Carol's Burger"... it's the only burger on Frosty Frog's menu, but it's the only one you need. 10 ounces of handcrafted Black Angus beef topped with onions, lettuce, tomato and pickles with a side for under $15. This one tastes like it just came off your backyard flame grill. Wash it down with a famous 190 proof Frosty daiquiri and you'll be good to go!

Harold's Diner
641 William Hilton Pkwy
Open for breakfast and lunch, Harold's boasts a rowdy staff who thrive on serving up a side of attitude with every meal. It's all part of their shtick and diners are encouraged to embrace the unconventional atmosphere and "bring it, don't sing it." As you enter, be sure to read the rules posted prominently or you could get an earful. (Think in the vein of the soup guy from Seinfeld.) Despite the brusque demeanor, many hail Harold's as "the best show on the island", and the food certainly holds its own, delivering on flavor and satisfaction. So if you're up for a bit of banter and a hearty meal, Harold's Diner is the spot to be on Hilton Head.
