skull creek boathouse

i really enjoyed my dinner. theseafoodwas very fresh and the service was good.

this is the best place on the island to eat in my humble opinion. get a seat on the patio and enjoy an awesome view of the ocean and some of the bestseafoodyou will ever eat. we started with a few drinks and appetizers and then dinner. we did not want to stop eating even though we were stuffed. we had the fried clams to start. they were lightly breaded and cooked perfectly (not greasy at all). followed by the sashimi, each pice melted in your mouth, and then came dinner. i had a rice a rice bowl that said it had a wasabi sauce. i was looking a sauce that would have a little more wasabi kick to it but it ended up being slightly sweet. that was the only thing i was disappointed in the entire meal. my husband had the fried scallops. he said after dinner this was the only place he wanted to eat at all week but being a foodie i could never agree to that. lol. i wish i had listened to him. there are otherseafoodrestaurants on the island but this by far is our favorite.

good, not great. i had dinner tonight with my husband and two young children. the atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly. i liked that it felt like a popular hhi eatery. the location and views seemed nice but we weren't fortunate enough to be seated at a table with a water view. the parking lot was congested and flooded due to rain. the long walk to the restaurant was no big deal for us but might be a consideration if someone in your party has difficulty walking. our server was friendly. i ordered aseafoodcombo plate which included crab cakes, scallops and stuffed shrimp with rice and veggies. it was good but not memorable. the rice was heavily seasoned and didn't compliment theseafoodat all. crab cakes and scallops were good. the stuffed shrimp was weird. the stuffing had an odd flavor and there was practically no shrimp meat. husband ordered a surf and turf with ny strip and shrimp. again, good but not great.

my girlfriends and i try to squeeze in a couple girls weekends each year. last year, we had a blast during my bachelorette weekend in savannah. this year, we thought we’d have our adult spring break in hilton head. while the westin really disappointed us (it felt more like a holiday inn than what i’ve come to expect from westin) at least there were highlights when we ate outside of the hotel. i took my stepdaughter’s recommendation to go to hudson’sseafoodon the docks, as she’s pretty familiar with hh since she vacations there every summer. i was tempted by the barbecue oysters but my lady pals aren’t oyster eaters, however we all agreed the bling bling shrimp. the sambol aioli had a light kick which was perfect. entree portions were large and decent, but nothing quite memorable. after a very disappointing breakfast buffet at the hilton head westin, we once again dined outside our hotel for dinner, this time at skull creek boathouse .

awesome!. the dive bar has the best sushi! freshestseafoodon the island and it just so happens that i get to work next door in the wonderful general store! awesome food, awesome staff, amazing atmosphere!

my wife and i ate an evening meal here. i had stuffed flounder with sides of rice and green beans. the flounder was very good. i also liked the flavorful rice. i was not as impressed with the lightly sautéed beans. just not my style. the palm and vegetable components of the flounder stuffing were not my favorites either. however, the meal remains me why i likeseafoodon the east coast. the meals are not just fried as in some locals. my wife had baked salmon which was good. she had the same sides. she ate none of the beans, but she never does. a choice of sides would have been nice.

went for dinner on a monday. there was a large crowd so i sat at the bar. had a spicy bloody mary which was good. peel and eat shrimp and a basket of hush puppies and i was full. service was good. they had a pretty comprehensive selection ofseafooditems as well as some fresh fish choices and several oyster choices. all in all worth the trip out there (it can be a long ride at the end of he day depending on where you’re staying) particularly if you’re a fan of seafood. 3.5 stars

loved this place! ate for lunch yesterday. sat outside on a warm june day and didn't melt to death thanks to all of the fans they have blowing and the cool breeze off the water. beautiful views. our waitress was very informative and attentive. food was brought out timely and delicious! generous portions! huge menu to choose from. i had the broiled sea scallops and shrimp and husband had a cobia quesadilla. everything tasted very fresh. would definitely return and recommend to anyone looking for freshseafoodand friendly service. :)

this is one of the classic vacation dining experiences that everyone in your group remembers and wants to repeat each year. there is usually an hour wait but here's a tip, first come - first serve seating at the tables outside by the bar. even if you have to wait there is enough to do to keep the little ones happy with outdoor games, watching the boats, outdoor bar and shopping in the general store. grab a drink and settle in.

they have a huge menu and it can be hard to decide. freshly caught fish is always good but if that's not your thing then the crab cakes or shrimp and grits will not disappoint.seafoodplatters are good and an easy decision for something that will have you rubbing your belly the rest of the night. i've had hit or miss experiences with the shellfish as far as preparation goes and it is usually over cooked. sushi is good but you can expect a pretty long wait for it if you are thinking about having it for an appetizer(you will probably get your meal before it comes out).

speaking of apps, the crab dip is good, the fried green tomatoes with goat cheese and sautéed hot peppers is my favorite. portions are smaller for appetizers so don't expect to have enough for a party of more than 3-4.

overall, we keep going back and that has as much to do with the atmosphere as it does the food. both are good but together it makes it an enjoyable evening. it's worth the wait and take advantage of the free valet service instead of fighting for parking.

easily one of the best spots i've been on hhi. everything was amazing! great food, great service! this place will not disappoint! every kind ofseafoodyou can think of!

super cool restaurant on the water in hilton head.  get here early if you don't like waiting for a table.  we got there by 5pm and only had to wait about 10-15 minutes.  by the time we left the wait was 90 minutes.  the menu is mostlyseafoodbut they have other stuff too.  try to sit outside if you able.  the patio is huge and beautiful.  also a nice bar area outside.  the food and drinks are a but overpriced, but that is expected somewhere like hilton head.  all of our dishes were pretty good.  no one was blown away by their meal, but everything was tasty.  our service was pretty good despite how busy it was there.  try it out if you are on the island.

very goodseafoodplace on the marina. had to wait about an hour before being seated but it was worth the wait. ample outdoor seating. crab cakes, shrimp, oysters, and soup were excellent. nice family environment and nice food in hilton head island.

my husband and i enjoyed our dinner at the boathouse! we waited at the bar for about an hour, while enjoying the shrimp/crab dip. it was delicious, served hot with pita/tortilla chips. for dinner i enjoyed the petite serving of theseafoodpasta. it was the perfect size, loaded withseafoodand a delicious white sauce, with no leftovers. my husband had the broiledseafoodplatter with red rice and fresh green beans. it was a generous portion of fresh seafood, the rice was perfect and the green beans were crisp. the bread that was served was wonderful. this was our second trip here and wont be our last!

a taste of hilton head. while visiting hilton head island my father voiced his desire to try an authentic low country boil so after attending the welcome to the time share breakfast we inquired a local his recommendation for best sea food restaurant on the island so we ended up at skull creek boathouse. it was during the week in october (not exactly high tourist season) so the restaurant wasn't too full when we arrived. sine we had reviewed the menu prior to coming we knew what we intended to order: a cup of the sea food chowder (creamy soup with crab, shrimp, scallops, fish, clams, and potatoes), the blackened fish tacos, the pecan ginger crusted mahi mahi with savannah red rice, and low country boil, the soup and my house salad were the first to arrive at the table and were okay. next came the entrees the mahi mahi was very tender and juice with a hint of the ginger spice, the fish tacos were good but there were only two to the order, and the low country boil was as described on the menu but missing any seasoning (old bay). for dessert we had a piece of key lime pie. the food was alright but i think i'll try a differentseafoodrestaurant the next time i'm on hilton head island.

mediocre would not eat here again.. during our vacation on hilton head wanted one traditional friedseafooddiner. since it was off season thought we would try this popular restaurant. very average, overhyped. had their 3 choice dinner, what was supposed to be local shrimp, sea scallops, devil crab. one small crab, 4 medium shrimp, 4 small scallops. mushy, little flavor, probably frozen. betterseafoodat local fish camps back home. save your time, and money, far better restaurants on hilton head.
