We went here for carry out lunch! I had read the reviews on the Sea Shack and was really looking forward to it-I was not disappointed. The place itself is a dive and smells of fresh fish so I recommend getting it take out and have a picnic at the beach. The food was wonderful! I had the crab cake... more

My favorite place on HHI. Can go in flip flops, shorts & T. Seafood is fresh and has a great selection of local fish. Hush puppies are great and the Shack usually has a waiting line if you don't get there early. A great chow down place. The lack of interior design is what gives it the charm. You always... more

Kinda like a movie. Had all the great characters, and the set was awesome. Believe me this place has good food. Probably one of HH best kept secrets. Met one of the owners. He was a character all himself. Try this place. more

We ate lunch here on our way out of Hilton Head. What a little hole in the wall place, but the food was fantastic. I had the fried grouper sandwich. It was perfectly breaded, very tasty and not greasy. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. We had an early lunch (11:15) on a weekday and we got there at... more

My wife and I ate at the Sea Shack tonight (Sept 22, 2008) with our 14 month old son. The setup is, you stand waiting in line outside, then go in and order at the counter before getting your own drinks and sitting down. We arrived at 5:40 pm and waited for 35 minutes to place our order, then another... more

There is a bad picture on the wall with a banner that says “ not fancy, just good”. That about covers it. The food is very good, the employees are scary and intimidating. They shout at you to order when you walk in the door and you better know what you want. You pay upfront and stand outside to wait... more

We ate here recently on the last day of our two week stay, at 5 pm on a Thursday. It had been recommended by virtually every native islander we asked. However, every time we passed by, the line was at least 50 people long. Finally, we hit it at the "10 min. wait" mark. Oh, how I wished we went... more

This is Soulseafood. It's true that you have to wait - we waited an hour in line and 25 minutes for our food, but it was all worth it. It was the best fried shrimp I've ever had, perfectly breaded. I also had excellent crab cakes and Shrimp butternut bisque. We loved it all. In retrospect I might bring a... more

So, you want a clean, comfortable, friendly place with lots of "ambience" and charm to enjoy some seafood? Move along. Sea Shack offers little other than some really good seafood. When you arrive, you stand in line. You are yelled at when you walk in that you cannot sit down until you order, that you can't leave the door open... more
