We love this place! Nothing fancy but the food is out of this world. I have been going to years and have never had a bad meal. Our whole family, says it not a trip to Hilton Head unless we go to the Sea Shack. They have the best mac-n-cheese and hush puppies. Lynn- OH

Visitors to Hilton Head think they have discovered something special when they have to stand in line often surrounded by screaming kids to order a deep fried sea food. Maybe I've been unlucky, but once again at the insistence of friends we braved a busy Friday night, noisy staff, screaming kids and unfortunately fish that had been deep fried in... More

I liked the fact that the portions are smaller than most places. The food tasted fresh and the line to get in says it all. Its worth it. Certainly on the pricey side however. Fresh food cost more though!!! I will be back again and again.

Have eaten here a couple of times on our family trips to HHI. Large selection and decent prices but service is terrible. They shuttle you in and out with all the personality of a drivers liscence review at the DMV. Gave them my name, gave my order, and they told me to wait by the back door for my food.... More

Go alone or eat outside at a picnic table if you want to hold a conversation. Lots of yelling inside by staff. Plus customer conversations at 13 inside tables reverberate off walls, floor and ceiling in this small place. The grilled grouper and flounder sandwiches were very good. Portions are small and pricey ($12 for a sandwich and two sides).... More

Some of us liked it, some did not. Not particularly friendly staff. Fried flounder and shrimp were a success, as well as the shrimp gumbo. Blackened Mahi was good and fresh but the portion was very small for the price. The coleslaw was bland and grilled shrimp were over cooked and dry. No doubt the seafood is fresh, just a... More

We carried out, so I have no experience with the dine-in but I was very pleased. The shrimp were very good, even though a tad on the small side (not jumbo...probably medium at best). The fish was very good. I didn't enjoy the scallops so much (they were gigantic) but I'm not generally a scallop fan so my opinion is... More

A very unique dining experience and enjoyed taking the pressure off a night of expensive seafood and wine bars. Sat down and ordered a large fried platter of flounder, oysters, and shrimp. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and unique home feel of the restaurant. Definitely a one of a kind on the island.
