Where it is

Get directions

Beach Break Grill is a small, no-frills bar at 24 Palmetto Bay Road, in a low wooden building near the Palmetto Bay Marina end of Hilton Head Island. Inside is a tiki-themed bar plastered with stickers, license plates and neon, with a few tables. Regulars come for a low-key drink away from the busy tourist spots, and the kitchen inside is Mama Joy’s Kitchen, so you may see either name.

Beach Break Grill Menu

Beach Break Grill is open for lunch and dinner. The menu centers on American food, with moderate prices.

What to Order at Beach Break Grill

The menu is pub food and Southern comfort food: chicken wings, a blackened fish sandwich, chicken strips, deviled eggs, salads and oxtail. One group of twelve brought in a shark they had caught and the cook fried half and blackened half. Drinks are inexpensive, and a reviewer’s tab for a couple of rounds and food came to just over fifty dollars. The current menu is linked above.

Hours and Seating

The bar keeps long hours, from 11 a.m. to midnight according to the listing, but the kitchen closes earlier, so if you want food call (843) 785-2466 first. There are no reservations. It is a very small room with only a handful of tables and a bar, so it suits a couple or a small group better than a large party.
