- KathleenSep 15, 2024Amazing location to Experience the nature of the Island
My little guy was easily welcomed. It’s a large restaurant with many external seating options for visitors with pets. Food was great as was the service.
- LisetteJun 18, 2024Perfect dog-friendly lunch spot
My family and I came here for lunch this week and everyone loved it. They offered my dog a bowl of water. There was a lot of outdoor space available for people to sit with their dogs. There were also lots of fans and a great breeze to counteract the warm weather.
The food was also great. We recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy a nice meal outdoors with a nice view.
- JaydenJun 16, 2024Really good food
We brought our Dixie via stroller so that way she was close by but out of the way. We were sat immediately. We had fantastic drinks and really good food. My boyfriend had the large fish sandwich and fries and I had pecan encrusted mahi mahi. Very pricey but worth it. The only complaint we had was the fries with his sandwich weren’t great and there was a child who growled in my dogs face🤦🏻♀️
- HeatherOct 4, 2023Found on bring Fido and loved it

- NicholasJul 18, 2023Always great
Has always been a must stop for my family with or without the pup. But they are very favorable to dogs. Always brings water and very big outdoor space
- KristenJan 1, 2023Loved It!
Very dog friendly. The whole staff was welcoming towards them and offered fresh water.
Great covered and uncovered outdoor seating options. Beautiful views. The food was good and we enjoyed ourselves.
The gift shop offers lots of souvenirs.
- MelissaJun 2, 2022Our favorite place so far!
This restaurant was the best place we have eaten so far during our vacation on the island. The outdoor seating area is amazing - attractive waterfront location with comfortable seating. Best seafood we’ve had - the combo platters were delicious. Water is provided for dogs. The staff was very puppy friendly and there were several other dogs as well. We highly recommend this fabulous place!
- SaraMar 31, 2022Great happy hour and atmosphere
our pup was greeted right away with an ice cold bowl of water, and got SO many pets while there. Our server even brought several treats. great food, wonderful service, 10/10 would recommend!
- CindySep 29, 2021Great view and good service
The hostess didn’t blink when we asked for a table with our dog. Arrived at noon and no wait. Our server Danielle was a pro. Food was good. The travel lift is noisy so pay attention if your pup is noise sensitive.
- Victoria dSep 14, 2021Dog friendly
lots of outside seating and we were surrounded by dog loving patrons. Dodd was good. we went at 11 am on Sunday and was fairly busy already

our two Shih tzus joined us for dinner last week at Skullcreek. what a great atmosphere! we walked the docks before dinner and saw a beautiful sunset! the food was delicious and the service was great! very dog friendly- can’t wait to come back!
- MalloryOct 22, 2020Love It!
wonderful atmosphere and dogs loved it. plenty of space to take them away from people to potty. amazing food and drinks for the humans! we got drinks, hush puppies, she crab soup and shrimp. after the outdoor bar, we sat on the chairs closest to the dock. so peaceful
- AshleyJul 12, 2020Large outdoor space!!
So much better than the pictures and reviews. My whole group (3 dogs and 4 people) were soooo glad we went. We had plenty of room, there were fans and shade, large menu of great food, and a great relaxing time. One of our favorites for sure. Go there!
- DouglasJun 3, 2020Excellent return
Returned to this restaurant after last year. The food and service was fantastic as it was last year. My Chi got her huge bowl of ice water again and all the attention she could handle. And, once again the food was outstanding. Love this place. Make sure you try the shrimp and grits, delicious. They offer military discount also. Highly recommend. I will return.
- DarshanaMay 23, 2020Amazing food!
Loved the restaurant....it's very dog friendly!
- SamanthaOct 25, 2019Great deck!
What an amazing restaurant. The food was delicious and the view was amazing. Sure there was a wait for our table but for 12 people it wasn't too bad. We loved our visit to Skull Creek!
- AshleeOct 13, 2019Great Place!
Food and drinks were fantastic! Our puppy was given tons of attention and love.
- SuzanneSep 15, 2019Great atmosphere, sunset over water and live music!
We enjoyed a great meal in a great “island atmosphere”.
- SarahAug 6, 2019Very dog friendly!!!
One of our favorite spots to take Sydney! Go several times every visit. And great food!
- AustinJul 11, 2019Great experience
Nice patio with shade and fans. Server paid lots of attention to our dog, water bowl immediately. Food very good. Will definitely come back
- TammyJun 2, 2019Great Spot For Pooch To Enjoy
We’ve been here several times with our dog. He is always welcomed, offered and given cold water, and often treats.if not too crowded, it’s nicer. Can get cramped and tight during busy times. Very relaxing when not too busy, right on the water as you watch boats coming in/out of the docks. Covered options available, or open air. Nice Adirondack chairs to sit, relax in after your meal with your pup and relax while you enjoy the views. A bit touristy. Food is actually very good. The fried shrimp is the best we’ve had on the island and their fries are consistently good. Decent happy hour specials. Lots of touristy, fun drink specials. Visit their big gift shop too, in a different building, which is also pup friendly. Best dog friendly place on the island given all factors, IMO. Be sure to snap a pic with your pup in the giant Adirondack chair on the grounds. There are additional restaurants adjacent to Skull Creek that are also dog friendly, but not quite as good.
- JessiDec 23, 2018Great With Dogs, Not With Food
These people were so nice to our dogs. The patio had covered and uncovered options. They gave us water for our dogs and passerby’s were so sweet and pet our pups. However, the food was pretty mediocre. We had a large variety of options on the menu and none of them were very good.
- StephanieDec 16, 2018Very Dog Friendly!
The staff here are very friendly and we got excellent service! The outdoor seating by the bar area is first come
- TamzMore than a year agoGood Food, Great Times
Definitely friendly to our fur babies. Cool water AND a treat! Nice atmosphere!
- SusanMore than a year agodog friendly
not that dog friendly, I’ve been places technically “not dog friendly” that were kinder to my dog and he is super well behaved. Food is ok.
- BrittneyMore than a year agoDog friendly, subpar food
The staff were very friendly to our dogs! But it was pretty loud and crowded if your dog is skittish. Amazing view but not great seafood.
- JohnMore than a year agoexcellent food, great for dogs
The food here is delicious! Our dog had a great time. It seemed every staff member came to say hello to him and refill his water bowl.
- MichelleMore than a year agoGreat for pups and their parents!
We love coming here with our pup. They are always very friendly to us and our dog, giving her plenty of attention and water. The food is fresh and tasty. Great atmosphere w live music and a fantastic view. Customer service is always kind and friends even when they get busy. A must visit w the pup.
- TraciMore than a year agoVery dog friendly
We had a wonderful evening with our furry travel companion. They were very accommodating to both the humans and the dog! The food was excellent also.
- Megan SmithMore than a year agoperfect lunch for the entire family on HHI
Such a wonderful place for lunch! They warmly welcomed our dog with a huge bowl of ice water. Lots of outdoor games for the kids, great views of the water and fabulous food! Will definitely go again!!
- Zuko and JackMore than a year agoperfect!
Love this place!! Right on the marina so we had an awesome view while we enjoyed lunch. Our boys were promptly brought water and were very welcome. There's a nice green area with shade for the dogs to relax. Food was decent.
- JulieMore than a year agogreat food
The food was fantastic! The waiter was knowledgeable and nice. He offered our Maltipoo some water. There were a couple of cats walking around. Our dog barked a couple of times but it didn't seem to bother anyone. Luckily, the live music seemed to have drowned her out. We would definitely eat there again & bring our dog!
