hilton head island appeals to people for different reasons, but most who decide to visit here do so because the love the water and natural scenery. i, too, like waterfronts and beaches and on a recent hilton head trip, i tried to incorporate water into all of my activities. that is what led us to salty dog café, on the island’s west side.

salty dog café is a restaurant with a view and it has a large abundance of outdoor seating with water views. when i visited, we considered sitting inside at first because it was starting to rain, but the wait for a table was too long and besides, the rainfall was really just a light drizzle. thegoodthing about deciding to dine outdoors is that it’s self- serve seating, and that meant no wait at all. we just walked over to a table underneath one of the tents, protected from the rain, and claimed our spot. the outdoor section often features live entertainment, too, which is an added bonus for dining in the fresh air.

salty dog café serves agooddeal of seafood options, plus american style foods. we decided to start with an order of hushpuppies. they were sweet and yummy and the honey butter made them that much better. i was torn over what to order for my lunch, but then the waiter came back to our table and suggested the special of the day, which was a chicken sandwich with bacon and ham, plus a side of fries. i decided that wasgoodenough for me and i ended up liking my food, even though i admit that the breaded/deep- fried chicken used for the sandwich would have been better had it been a grilled chicken patty instead.

drinks are popular at salty dog café and they have plenty of tropical drinks and agoodselection of beer. i ordered a pair of craft beers while i enjoyed my lunch and, judging by the looks of satisfaction on my family member’s faces, everyone seemed to like the experience. i should point out that you have to pay about 6 bucks just to enter the sea pines area, where this restaurant is located, so keep that in mind if you decide to visit. and enjoy the waterfront views and food here at salty dog café on hilton head island.

it is what you should expect from activity and food attraction.goodnot great, simple food. service is better than food. was given a wait of one hour but turned out to be 20 minutes.

pretty good. went for lunch. was told 30 minute wait, but did not take that long. food was average. nothing special.goodwait staff.

waited at the bar for 10 minutes, not a single server even acknowledged us. can't say i'd the food isgoodbit the service is awful you can find much better on the island

it's a must go if you are on the island.goodfood, not the best, but the atmosphere is wonderful! always some great entertainment.

my expectations were very low of the salty dog. i wasn't sure if they were a t-shirt or an actual restaurant. much to surprise and delight... the food was really good! actual fresh seafood - great oysters, snow crab, shockinglygoodfisherman's pasta. the sides were more edible than most hhi seafood joints. thumbs up!

last year was reallygoodfood with hospitality to boot. this year a whole new crop of college kids, higher prices, no taste, and service was terrible. save the trip for a local diner or dive. 52 dollars for 2 burgers chips and a mahi mahi sandwich. maybe you will get lucky if you want to try it. overpriced and unrefined with no offer to make amends there are a bunch of rich, wanna be rich rude people here last trip.

we were surprised we liked it so much. we mostly stopped there to humor out daughter and had low expectations about the quality of the food. the shrimp and grits were outstanding as was the seafood pasta. our server seemed very distracted, but overall; it was agoodexperience.

very good! the staff was friendly,the food wasgoodand the atmosphere was very nice. i would recommend this place to everyone!

good food,goodservice!. we all ate shrimp or fish. shrimp salad on pretzel bread is great, shrimp po'boy as well. fresh fish of the day sandwich was amazing. and you can never go wrong with fish and chips! only part of the meal that wasn't amazing was the coleslaw, but you are so satisfied with the rest, it doesn't really matter. service was impeccable. never waited, staff was friendly and helpful.

always agoodtime at the salty dog. had lunch there this time. i had a nice fresh caught seafood wrap, my wife had the grouper, kids had the typical fare. we sat on the patio overlooking the docks on a beautiful saturday afternoon. as usual, the salty dog was busy, so we had to wait about 30 minutes, but we walked around the marina to browse the quaint shops until our pager went off. once we were seated the server was prompt, attentive, knowledgeable, and fun. i then enjoyed seeing a group of curmudgeonly seniors try to seat themselves and get thrown out by (a gracious) hostess. interesting mixed drinks and draft beers were available. lunch selection was great. wish they had the live music at lunch, since the show at dinner is always a hit with the kids (and me). prices were typical for a tourist spot, but what do you expect? you're paying for the experience. i challenge anyone to say they haven't had a great time at the dog! this is a tradition for our family whenever we come to hilton head.

superb!! swordfish was fresh catch of the day.goodsize, very moist, fantastic flavor. others in the arty had seafood pot pie, seafood stir fry, crabcake sandwich, and vegetarian pasta. everyone agreed the food was very very good. service was fast and efficient. reasonably priced.goodatmosphere
