Get directionsDryDock Seafood & Spirits
DryDock Seafood & Spirits is at 840 William Hilton Parkway, in a low building with a covered arcade and a few tables outside the front door. It is a seafood restaurant with a bar attached, and it has been serving the island since 1994. Locals use it as a neighbourhood spot, and visitors find it on the way through mid-island.
What to Order at DryDock
The menu runs to fresh seafood, steaks, ribs, burgers and salads. Reviewers keep mentioning the fried green tomatoes, the hot shot shrimp, she-crab soup, crab cakes and the fried seafood platter, and the grilled grouper and grouper sandwich get regular praise. A soft pretzel with beer butter is a popular starter. One diner called it a rare place on the island where a good meal does not cost a fortune. Some visitors describe the room as more of a bar than a white-tablecloth seafood house, which is a fair way to set expectations.
Hours and Reservations
DryDock is open from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day except Tuesday, when it is closed, according to the restaurant's own ordering page. Some directories show different hours, so call (843) 842-9775 to check, especially on a Tuesday.

The Room
Inside, the dining room is dark-wood booths and a long bar with the game on. Reviewers say the bartenders are personable and keep drinks full, and that you can order from the full menu even between lunch and dinner. More places to eat are on the Hilton Head restaurants page, and the Hilton Head dining guide sorts them by meal and style.
