Must have been the timing - off season about 2pm. I walked right up to the counter and placed my order. For the 10 minutes I waited on my food no one else came in. I will have to say I can't imagine anyone waiting in a long line for this food. It was ok, but just ok. We have... more

We recently spent a week in Hilton Head and dined at the Sea Shack twice. We keep saying we will try other restaurants, but we keep coming back to the Sea Shack. We love their grilled seafood. The shrimp and scallops are our favorites. We got there both nights right at 5pm and didn't have a wait at all. The... more

The Sea Shack - The name is not an affectionate term, it isn’t very close to the ocean and if you hadn’t heard all the hype you couldn’t imagine being there much less eating there – it is close to being a real shack. You wait outside, even on a Tuesday night in early November. You are let in to... more

As others have said, you don't go here for the ambience. The food is good....recommend the blackened grouper sandwich...and it's interesting to watch the chef prep food before your very eyes. He was fileting LARGE fish when we were there. If you expect to be "waited on" then this isn't the place for you. But you can show up in... more

Great food, and thanks for the tips on going at lunch...we arrived a little before Noon on a Monday, and just beat the crowd! The line went out the door. Definitely a local favorite for many. The food was great, especially the clams and the alligator!! more

WOW! We've been vacationing on Hilton Head Island for years---why did it take so long to find The Sea Shack? I ate there with my family this past weekend for what will be (hopefully) the first of many times. Yes, you will stand in a line at dinnertime (so???), and yes, you will wait a little while to get a... more

Do you want good seafood at a reasonable price? Go to Sea Shack. Yes, it's a dive, yes, there are long lines, but I have consistently enjoyed my meals there. What can I recommend? The jerk grouper is excellent; has a great marinade which is full of flavor but not too spicy (you can always spice it up by getting... more

We got a recommendation from our fishing guide who grew up on the island. The food was great. My wife says she'll never eat popcorn shrimp anywhere else. more

How can people be happy standing in line on a 95 degree day and then when you get to order you are told to go back outside to wait for your food since their is no tables and of course you don't get a table by yourself. You need to share it with some crying kids who also had to... more
