We dined at the Sea Shack for lunch. This is a restaurant to enjoy good low country food in a very casual atmosphere. I had the Shack Attack - blackened crab cake, shrimp, tilapia and scallops with hushpuppies, salad and fries. I enjoyed my meal and thought it was seasoned to perfection. My husband had the buffalo shrimp-po boy with... More

The food excellent! Service was quirky but fun and the atmosphere was old-seafood restaurant style. Loved it! More

We lunched at the Sea Shack on February 1st and immediately noticed that the place was filled with locals (a good sign). We placed our order at the counter and were instructed to grab an open table in the small, L-shaped dining area. The restaurant was clean, well organized and designed for serving food quickly and efficiently. Within 10 minutes... More

If you are looking for good, down home cooking, then this is the place! Great sea food, large portions and some unusual sides such as boiled turnips or greens! If you are looking for atmosphere, forget it! Throw on a sweatshirt and ball cap and go. You won't be disappointed. More

The Sea Shack was a great discovery of ours 5 years ago when we first moved to the Hilton Head/Bluffton area. Learning when to go to avoid the crowds is important but can be done. In spite of changing owners and chefs the food is still as good as ever. Fresh seafood is always served in a variety of tasty... More

Love the food at the Sea Shack, and love that you order at the counter, fill your drink, and sit (no waiting for a server to take your order, which makes the process quicker and more fair). It's now very busy, however, due to food network, so know there will be a wait. It will be worth it if you... More

We got tipped to this place by the hotel clerk when asked for the best simple seafood place. He asked if I wanted ambiance - I said not to pay for it. He said, you want Sea Shack! We thanked him three times during our stay --- what a great stop! Shack Attack will get you a hefty taste of... More

Wonderful place to eat. Fried oysters out of this world. Clam chowder O.K. Salad nice and fresh. It is very low key. Get there early if in the peak times of the year. But this time of the year not a problem. Once you are there you really need to know what you are going to order as it is... More

The Sea Shack had a setback a couple of years ago when Chef David left to open Roastfish and Cornbread, but the quality is back to its previous standard. The food is tasty and affordable for Hilton Head, but I definitely wouldn't wait more than ten or fifteen minutes in line - it's not THAT good. More
