Skull Creek Dockside - Seafood restaurant in Hilton Head Island - 2 Hudson Rd, USA

Dined in on a Friday night about 6:30 pm. Party of 3 seated immediately. The service was excellent and the food pretty good. The fish and chips was cooked well and arrived hot. Was unable to eat it all. The portions were healthy. Nice drink menu

Great place. My server was a very friendly and nice guy. The environment is cozy, informal with a touch of class. Dockside with a great view, indoor and outdoor seating. I had a she crab soup and the salmon. Both very good. They also have a good selection of locally brewed beers. I enjoyed much my lunch !!

Skull Creek Dockside is great!! I definitely would recommend coming here if you love all sorts of seafood dishes, as well as barbecue, apparently! We didn’t get any BBQ on our recent visit but according to reviews (and our waiter), they smoke everything in-house and it is VERY good. So next time!! We got some seafood and classic southern dishes for lunch, including: fried pickles & okra, pan roasted mussels, Caesar salad with fried shrimp, and the poached pear salad! It doesn’t seem like too much for two people but this was a lot of food - keep that in mind when coming here! So many menu items are gluten-free as well, so this is a great choice for people with that allergy!! The fried pickles & okra were exactly what you’d expect - perfectly fried and tasted great with ranch. The mussels were REALLY good - some of the better mussels we’ve ever had. And both salads were excellent as well! I’d probably recommend getting grilled shrimp though, instead of fried shrimp, if you’re wanting a protein for your salad. The pears were so, so good on the poached pear salad. Everything was great and it was so nice to sit outside along the docks and water! This is a very pretty place and definitely one we will go back to next time we’re in Hilton Head Island!

The hostess was disappointing. Just becoming typical these days of Gen Z, so I convinced myself to not let that influence the final rating too much...it's the only reason for 4 stars on service. The waitress made up for it and we came away with full bellies, a couple of t shirts, a sticker, and even a few fun photos. I would definitely come back or recommend to others; I just suggest never letting the youngsters deliver the first impression to the public. Just two cents.

Our food was delicious. I had the fried clams with reds beans & rice and mixed vegetables. My Sister has the ribs, red beans & rice and vegetables. Love the view of the bay

I was satisfied but disappointed at the same time. First of all, the service was excellent! Waitress took good care of us. For the food, appetizers were also excellent, had the fried shrimp and calamari, and fried chicken livers. But for the entrées, we got the stuffed flounder casino and the shrimp and grits. I was sadly disappointed on the portion size of the stuff flounder for its price. No bigger than my palm. The saving grace on that plate was the mash. The shrimp and grits was ehhhh had better.

The food was ok and could be better for the reviews. The service was good but they don’t come to your table as often as others. And the atmosphere was stunning with a amazing view of the bay and some boats.

I have been coming here every time we visit my brother for about 10 years. The food is pretty good and we enjoy sitting by the water to have drinks. If you are not local the bartending staff will wait on you last. I feel they know with the locals that that is where there money is. Keep them happy. Those people not known to them are passing though and not part of consistent financial gain. They do have live music which is pretty good.
