The locals seem to really love this place. There was always a line outside. However, it moved quickly. The food was good but not outstanding in my opinion. With what folks (locals) on the line were saying I expected something more although it was good. We are from NYC and presently making plans to move to NC, but one of... More

They say it themselves - this is not a fancy place, just a great place to get great seafood. We have tried several things here on several visits and there are a few misses but I will never visit Hilton Head again without a visit to the Sea Shack. The Jerk Grouper is outstanding, I love the conh fritters too.... More

Got lucky on the wait time. 1st time there, and was pleasantly surprised. The food was awesome and priced right. I'll go back everytime we hit HH.

The description is perfect, casual, great seafood, our friends did us right. Wait in line, pay when you order, sit & wait a very short time for good food. Mountain people appreciate fresh seafood at places like this. Service was fine.

We were looking for a place to eat that was very informal with good fresh seafood. Mission accomplished. The downfall was that there was a booth right by the door with a guy pushing what sounded like time share sales, along with various activities. You order at the counter and someone delivers the food. Overall very good

Sea Shack is a wonderful, hole-in-the-wall restaurant with delicious fresh seafood offerings. You stand in line to get in, but the service is quick and efficient. You order at the counter then take a seat, and a waiter brings your food to the table. Our group sampled grilled scallops, fried oysters, grilled shrimp and crab cakes, all of which were... More

Who cares about atmosphere when the food is about as good as it gets. We like to get here early, a few minutes before they open. Go early (a few mins before 5), beat the crowd, and you won't be sorry. The scallops are the best anywhere, and I always get the Creole lima beans. Portions are so generous that... More

This place is not elegant, and you have to wait in line to get in, but the food and prices are definitely good. It's not haute cuisine but "down home"cooking. Menu items are written on a white board (and are modified daily). You select what you want from an array of fish and shellfish and side dishes, place your order,... More

Just good basic seafood fixed any way you want it (blackened, fried, grilled, etc). No alcohol license is a letdown.
