50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Hilton Head Island

“Wish I could give 6 stars. Had the coolest bartender ever -Tony, you rock!! The food was delicious! We got the oysters, calamari and shrimp Alfredo the first night and they were all amazing. Tony recommended the charcoal grilled shrimp and gator bites the next night. A-MA-ZING! Thanks for making us feel welcomed and joking around with us Tony. We will be back soon!“

“The food was amazing, the shrimp cocktail, honey hush puppies, fresh salads, blackened swordfish, steamed oysters and the land and sea plate were delicious. Phillip was our server, he was very thorough and attentive. I was so hungry and excited when Phillip brought our food I forgot to take pictures. Take my word, the food is great!“

“Loved the food Shelia was our waitress service was excellent food was amazing they get five stars had to wait for table was worth the waot“

“The food was fantastic. I had the broiled and blackened seafood platter. Very good. The cheese grits were also very good.“

“We came to crazy crab and was lucky enough to have Susan as our waitress. Susan is the greatest waitress I’ve had at any restaurant ever. She makes sure we get our food in a reasonable time and we don’t stay thirsty. I would give susan a 100/10 on service and I think she needs a raise.“

“9/17/25 was our 2nd trip to Benny's and it did not disappoint either time. Our first trip was last fall when you had just opened & the rooftop was not completed yet. Me, my sister & my niece were delighted with our choices...grouper, seafood cannelloni , Brazilian fish stew...WOW!! But what we were most impressed with was our waiter, Ladrae' Foster, a young 20 year old man. He was lots of fun and very knowledgeable about the menu. We asked LOTS of questions about entrees and he always had the most detailed answer. Excellent service, too! We'll definitely be back!“

“Great Food , Bad. Service .“

“Food is great! My husband and I visit every time we are at HHI. Their clams strips are the best we have EVER had. The hush puppies are delicious as well. This visit I tried their crab cake from the waiters suggestion. It was this "Marylander" approved! Thanks Rich for the recommendation and great service! See you on the next visit.“

“It was a rainy evening and we needed a place to eat while traveling with our dog! They staff here was super friendly and welcoming, we were able to dine with our dog comfortably outdoors and it they even and wam covered seating on a rainy night! food was delicious also!“

Our waitress was very friendly and made our visit pleasant. We will definitely be back next time we are in Hilton Head. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“First time there tonight. We could not be more pleased. The owner and staff exceeded our expectations. We frequently eat out in both Hilton Head and Bluffton and we highly recommend Sea Grass Grille.“

“NO BONES ABOUT IT, THE RIBS ARE OUTSTANDING -- my husband and I have eaten at Red Fish every time we've visited HHI in the last 15 plus years. To-date, I've always gone seafood: sea bass, grouper, salmon and scallops. Decided to mix it up and go for the rack of ribs (or should it read raaaaaaaack of ribs). It filled a very large oval dish. Despite the size, the ribs were perfectly cooked, moist, tender, fell right off the bone. The sides of slaw and blue cheese potato gratin were great too. Well done Red Fish, well done. PS -- took half the ribs home and ate them for lunch today.“

“Fresh seafood caught daily! She-crab soup, crab cake and fried shrimp was today’s late lunch. Everything was delicious. Great service too🤗“

“We ate there this evening and the food was fantastic! The shrimp burger was outstanding!! We will definitely be eating there again.“

“This is a lovely restaurant with an excellent menu. Off season, there is an early dining menu with many excellent choices only a smaller portion. Service is impeccable, with the Rock Star, Angela, living up to her much reviewed reputation! There is a much coveted view of a man made lagoon/lazy river. Come try it, will not disappoint! I'll definitely be back with friends!“

“Tried the Philly cheese steak, definitely got more sandwiche than I expected and delicious. Seems like a nice mix of local folks, and folks visiting on their trips to the island. The Bartender was nice, and it was pretty cool little spot to eat, or watch your favorite teams. Nice surprise since we really went just because we could walk there.“

“The food was outstanding Highly recommend will definitely be back Lord willing“

“Sarah is an amazing host!! Thank you for the fantastic food and service!! Fun night!! Highly recommend! Thanks Sarah!!“

“We dined at this restaurant last evening arriving around 5:15 and seated right away. Our server, Hart was awesome and our orders were accurate and he went out of his way to accommodate our requests. The atmosphere was nice but started to get really noisy upon our departure. The hush puppies were delicious and our Bloody Mary was exceptional but the rest of our food was mediocre. I will say my scallops were sweet and tender. Everyone else in our party said their dinners were just ok.“

“Such a beautiful experience!! The food was amazing. The portion sizes were amazing. The staff were some of the kindest and most hospitable folks ever. Our waiter even ran outside to help us take photos! Can’t wait to visit again.“

“Great atmosphere only to be enhanced by attentive staff. All of our entrees were cooked to perfection!“

“Buddington, our waiter was amazing! So pleasant and knowledgeable. Food delicious!! View amazing! Sunset - ahhhh!!!“

“Absolutely wonderful dinner and overall experience. The mini crab claws and fried green tomatoes were so delicious. The server was helpful in providing recommendations on the menu. For dinner, we had the Cajun grouper, blackened red fish, crab cakes, and scallops. Every dish was perfect. For dessert, we tried the strawberry cake-fabulous! Definitely a great spot and we will for sure be back!“

“Love Bowdies! Amazing steaks and service.“

“Great people, amazing food, and good vibes!“

“Outstanding sound, amazing vibe, great gumbo, and an unforgettable pecan sweet potato pie. After 4 decades of visiting Hilton Head yearly, I've finally found a place on the island with authentic soul.“

“Our Favorite!! Family friendly, good food, beautiful view, beach front, drinks and more!!“

“What a welcome addition to the HHI restaurant scene! Wonderful family-style dining serving excellent traditional Italian cuisine. Service is friendly and professional. Owners are beyond gracious. Recommend the baked clams, shrimp basilica, gnocchi Romano, lasagna (alternate Saturdays), cannoli dip, tiramisu- etc!“

“we absolutely love the sage room!“

“Outstanding!“

“My experience was good! I ordered the gizzard/liver mixed. I don’t eat gizzard but hers was on point…. No long chewing at all. They were Soft and almost melted in my mouth. The server was nice. My main dish was stewed shrimp & SNOW CRAB… the flavor was everything. However, my only issue was that my dish did not have snow crab meat but imitation crab meat. I hope when visit again, there’s some real crab meat on the plate“

“Shout out to Will the late night bartender! He's attentive even in the hectic busy moments. He's caring and concerened. Bamboo has amazing food, and even better staff! Love you guys, and we'll make itout again the next chance we have.“

“Possibly the best burgers around that we have had!“

“FANTASTIC HAPPY HOUR! $1 oysters, 50¢ shrimp, $3.00 tacos & more. Always greeted with a smile. If you are looking forward to REALLY good eats & friendly faces... Brother Shuckers is where you should be. And, food is served til midnight....yay!“

“Exceptional brunch this morning.“

“My wife and I had dinner there on Saturday evening We were seated immediately with no wait which was great. We ordered the Texas fajitas with a side of freshly prepared guacamole along with 2 margaritas. Both the food and drinks were excellent. Our server checked on us several times throughout our meal to make sure we didn’t need anything else. Great food and great experience.“

“amazing service and food. will return and recommend“

“The food was good, but we had a really weird experience at the beginning. My mother and I walked in and requested a table for two. The hostess says “do you have a reservation, we don’t take walk ins.” We didn’t have a reservation so we left. But I was so hungry after just getting off a plane that I didn’t want to search for a new place. I looked up Jane online and made a res for 1:00 (it was 12:49… and there were tons of available time slots). So we walked back in and told the same hostess we had a reservation. Then while we sat and waited 10 min for a table we listened to her tell other walk ins it was a 10 min wait. The whole thing was so strange. I think my salad was good, but definitely annoyed by the initial service (waitress super sweet though).“

“Cool drinks !! And good burgers.“

“Our family had a great meal at Tio’s on Tuesday night. Our server was Maria and she was excellent! Very friendly, professional and efficient.“

“Skillets is absolutely amazing! From the food to the beautiful ambience. Our waitress Marilyn was so kind and attentive. I had the Mahi tacos. They were the best I've ever had. There chef Keman cooked everything to perfection. All of the toppings were homemade. Love that place!“

“Excellent service and wonderful menu options“
