Groceries/Casual Dining near Barony Beach

We have been to Hilton Head before, but have stayed at GO and Monarch. What grocery store is nice and convenient to Barony? Any recommendations for bike trails, golf or casual dining near Barony would also be appreciated. We are going with older kids who like fun, but casual places to hang out.
(Ages 14, 14, 12 and 11) Thanks!!

There is a Bi Lo nearby that we use near Barony. Sam's Club is in the North part of the island as well.

I prefer to drive to Fresh Market, the gourmet grocer to get meats and desserts but I buy the rest at Bi Lo or Piggly. Fresh Market is in the same plaza as Bonefish Grill not near Barony. We love it there but we buy some things at a regular grocer.

There is a Piggly Wiggly in Shelter Cove.

We like Stacks on the Wm Hilton Pkwy mid island. Inexpensive breakfast and lunch with generous portions. Hilton Head Diner is similar. I prefer Stacks lately to HH Diner.

Not near Barony- Aunt Chiladas Sports Pub (and age appropriate)or Wild Wings on Pope are not expensive. We also love Sticky Fingers near Redfish which if you sign up for their online club and use HHI as your home resort you get a coupon for a free appetizer or dessert. I suggest the chicken wings which are delicious. This is an annual must eat place for us.

There were two restaurants that we really loved: Stripes and Alexander’s. Both had great food and wine. We also enjoyed The Old Oyster House – fantastic view, good food, seafood only (Alyssa, our vegetarian, ate salad). CQ’s – supposedly one of the best restaurants on the island – was truly awful. Café Europa has a beautiful view of the harbor in Harbour Town, but the food is mediocre at best. Dvino’s, an Italian restaurant, was pleasant – but nothing to rave about. We had lunch at Charley’s Crab on the last day – not bad – good early bird specials.

Here is a link to my picture trail which shows the restaurants and the resort - may give you an idea of what you like. We stayed at Barony. Have fun!

There's also a Publix Supermarket just a tad north of you off Hwy 278 on the opposite side of the highway from Barony. It's in the Festival Centre at Indigo Park.

Also a Walmart in the same shopping center (Indigo) as Publix.

I prefer Stacks for breakfast also - not far from Barony. IHop is also very close by.

For biking, we cut through the Port Royal Golf Course, where the bike trails and cart trails meet, then we branch off and go into the gated community that way. It's beautiful riding back there. Nobody has ever stopped us or said anything.
