Delicious frozen drinks are rivaled only by the BEST hushpuppies on the entire island . Great outdoor bar atmosphere and great staff . Indoor option as well .

Clintyn Newcombe

The atmosphere here is unreal. Very relaxed, fun, excellent staff , very welcoming! I had the catch of the day, swordfish sandwich , blackened, and it was phenomenal!

Derek Fromson

Start with calamari , but ask for the very spicy sauce on the side. Crab cake sandwich or catch of the day are good entree options. Several choices on the kids menu . Try shrimp or fish nuggets.

Tim Taylor

Asked about the crab cakes , turns out the chef is from Maryland. They were amazing. Sub hush puppies for the mashed potatoes , veggies are good. Kids fish nuggets were surprisingly good as well .

Carolyn Gavin

The hush puppies are delicious. The prime burger basket also got rave reviews from my family. The seafood is always good. Definitely a must for a trip to Hilton Head!

Louben John Baylon

The Crab cake sandwich was awesome! And serving size is good too! Its a little bit bland for me but the sauce and a little bit of salt makes up for it!

Jeff Byrnes

Outdoor seating right on the water, outdoor bar , lots of frozen drinks , live music , good food

Jessica Houge

This is not a moderately cheap restaurant . Dinner for 2 cost us $60. If you want cheap go to Kiwi 's Cookout or Landing's End. The atmosphere of the entire area is great and so is the food!

Spencer Vairo

Awesome happy hour , 4 dollar beer on tap and free popcorn from 4-7pm at the outdoor bar ! Try the salty dog lager and the hush puppies with hot sauce ! A local favorite spot for sure

Carolyn Gavin

It gets very busy during peak hours. My family and I (party of 11) went Saturday around 1 and got seated right away. It was a good time because most people were just getting to or leaving HHI.

Bobby Clayton

Once you pay the $1.25 at the toll booth be prepared to pay $6.00 for all day access to the restaurant area. Hush puppies are good outside cook a little done.

Traci Millsap

This place is infamous. You have to visit the T-Shirt Factory . The food is expensive and the wait can be LONG, but there's entertainment to help. The wait is so worth it!! Get the hush puppies too!

Sarah Williams

SUPER friendly staff ! Try to sit outside if you can, if not sit near the windows when you can see the sunset . Everything on the menu is great :)

Al Breda

Great place for hanging around after dinner . The dock & shops were good and there was music on the deck. The restaurant was adequate. Very well marketed , which lends to an easy let down.

Chris Sweetland

The new batter is awesome! Try the fresh fish bites as an appetizer . Ours was fresh Mahi Mahi and even my finicky daughters wanted more!

Find The Wreck of the Salty Dog. Full menu, same as the cafe , with shorter waits and 2 full bars , try the key lime pie . Enjoy the view .

Richard Lamb

Fish po boy sandwich had very little fish on a hogie roll I give it 6 out of 10 nothing special . Got a side of fruit that I had to send back , I replaced it with cole slaw and that was very good.

Wyatt Fitch

I had the pulled pork sandwich . It was very good, but a bit boring. It was an ok experience until we got the bill. It was outrageous. The place is way overrated, overpriced, and overcrowded.

Guido

A MUST stop on your vacation to the island . Make sure u save room for a slice of pizza at Jake's. Get a shirt from the factory , you'll b surprised how many ppl comment on it who's been!

Ashlee Reaves

Super cool area and shops! Would have loved to eat here but after arriving at 8:00 there was still a 3 hour wait! Maybe next time.

Bob Webb

Everything is good, but dining and drinking outside on the deck is fantastic.

Vic Cleary

Wow, the butter for the hush puppies is awesome. Who was the genius to first whip sugar into butter? A man who deserves a medal.

Anna Petchell

Bulgarian server was lovely. However like a lot of other American water focused places, it was tacky and the food was rather average. Wouldn't recommend. However the service was lovely

Amy Cummings

A Hilton Head staple. You'll see people with Salty Dog t-shirts all over the country !

Clint Roberson

Outdoor seating is a great scene. Be sure to check out the local shops as well .

Daniel A

Burgers and Hush Puppies are amazing

Bobby Clayton

Hush puppies are good outside cook a little done and the chicken salad sandwich was off the chain.

Jess Keathley

Food is average for the price, what you really pay for is atmosphere. Lowcountry boil was sub-par with rubbery unflavored shrimp . Calamari was good. I recommend getting appetizers and just hanging out

Matthew Manocchio

The food is amazing, and the serivce is great! Ask for the waiter , Brandon from Savannah, GA.

Sarah Deming

Quite touristy and food is just OK. But fun atmosphere on the water and with music . Some staff were very friendly some were not.

Andy Peterson

I had the grilled chicken and it was really good and well priced.

Gary Saunders

The Key lime pie is some of the best I've ever had.

Selmice

Nice place for meeting. Online webcam over your head ????

Nikole Grote

Kiwi colada is amazing! Seafood pasta is delicious but the crab cake sandwich is the best bang for your buck! Get here at 4 to avoid an hour plus wait

Chris Holdeman

Salt dog combo plate with gumbo and shrimp sandwich is awesome combination

Jessica Houge

When you plan your first trip to Salty Dog, please be prepared to tip the guard $6 for entry into Sea Pines.

James Pittman

The crab cake sandwich is delicious!

Jordan McGuffey

Crab ice cream shops drinks burgers

Brian Jernigan

The alligator is awesome.

Zach Wells

Try the hush puppies . They are the best I've ever had.

Stephanie

Love this place. The shrimp and potato salads are the best I've ever had.

Santana Arnold

The lemonade and prime burger basket is amazing????????

Austin

The Wreck of the salty dog and salty dog Café have the exact same menus, personally I prefer the wreck of the salty dog for better outdoor view and indoor area.

Palmetto Brewing

Order the Salty Dog Beer . It's made in Charleston by Palmetto Brewing!

Tricia

Don't leave with out trying the piña colada . It's delicious

Gracie White

Ask for Andrew! It's only his second day there!! ???? FYI.. Refills aren't free! ????

Mike D

Don't ask for the Salty Dog without salt - they get cranky and threaten to throw you to the jellyfish - I feared for my life

katy ramsey

Great view and service.

Ashley Almond

Taylor Reis

The pulled pork salmon is amazing!
