Harbourside Burgers & Brews in Harbour Town
Hours
Where it is
Get directionsHarborside Hilton Head, spelled Harbourside by the resort, is the open-air burger-and-beer spot on the Harbour Town marina, under the live oaks with the lighthouse in view. It goes by Harbourside Burgers and Brews, and it is one of the most relaxed meals in Harbour Town: order, sit outside, watch the boats.
The Sea Pines Resort runs it as a seasonal outdoor café, and it sits next to the Liberty Oak, where Gregg Russell’s family sing-alongs happen in spring, summer and the holidays. That makes Harbourside Hilton Head an easy early dinner before the show.
The Menu
Burgers are the core, and you can build your own by picking the bun, meat, sauce and toppings. Curly fries come alongside. Loaded hot dogs, fried shrimp, snow crab and salads fill it out, with chicken tenders on the kids menu and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. At the covered outdoor bar there is cold draft beer, margaritas and frozen drinks. The full menu, with prices, is below.
Seating, Music and Reservations
All the seating is outdoors, at tables in the shade. Harbourside does not take reservations, and on a busy day every seat fills soon after opening, so come early. Parties of eight or more get a 20 percent gratuity added, and some tables are held for groups, so ask the host where to sit. In season there is live music from 4 to 7 p.m. Because it is a seasonal café, check the hours in the card at the top of this page before you go, especially in the cooler months.
Getting There
Harbourside is on the marina at 147 Lighthouse Lane, inside the Sea Pines gate. Visitors not staying in Sea Pines pay the gate fee, $10 per day for a standard car. For a sit-down dinner nearby, see Harbour Town restaurants.
What diners say
The fried shrimp, the smashburgers and the curly fries are what reviewers name, and the outdoor seating and live music come up alongside them. Service is where reviewers disagree: some reviewers praise it as quick and the staff as friendly, others call it inconsistent — and inconsistency is exactly what produces both reports. Expect it to depend on when you go.
