Get directionsThe Downtown Salty Dog
The Downtown Salty Dog is a sit-down restaurant at 6 Target Road, just off Palmetto Bay Road near the Sea Pines traffic circle, across from Publix. The dining room is done like a 1950s diner, with red booths and chairs, a blue-and-white striped awning over the counter and plenty of things to look at, and reviewers describe the atmosphere as friendly and cool.
The Downtown Salty Dog Hilton Head: What to Order
The menu goes further than a diner’s. There is seafood, including she-crab soup that the restaurant calls legendary, flounder and wild-caught shrimp grilled, fried or blackened, and reviewers also praise the crab legs, the daily fish specials such as mahi and red snapper, and a lemon-garlic zoodle bowl. Burgers, chicken tenders, salads and build-your-own pizzas cover the rest of the table, and the half-pound Target Burger has its fans. Dessert is a large ice cream menu of sundaes, banana splits and milkshakes, made with house flavors like mint chip, butter pecan, toasted coconut and mango sorbet. Guests also mention free popcorn, taffy samples and charging stations at the tables.
