When Bluffton native Jo Rackliff met Todd, a Maine-born chef who'd honed his craft in his family's restaurants and culinary school, they discovered a shared vision for their community. In 2010, the pair opened The Sugaree as a place where great food becomes the backdrop for life's meaningful moments. Today, The Sugaree stands as Bluffton's beloved gathering place, where Jo's deep community connections and Todd's culinary expertise have created something truly special: a local institution where every meal feels like coming home, longtime friendships are celebrated over thoughtfully crafted dishes, and newcomers are welcomed into the heart of Lowcountry life.
