    Plenty of space on decks for dogs

    Our server brought him a bowl of water as she brought us ours. It was a very dog friendly experience and the food was great too!

    Lots of outdoor seating

    We always search for restaurants that have multiple seating options, and this was perfect! Huge wrap around patio that has high top tables, regular tables, and a bar. Heaters built into the ceiling, which was nice, as it was chilly. Staff was more than friendly for our fur baby. They made sure her water bowl was always full and gave her lots of attention. Plus, the seafood was amaazzingg!

    Update

    Took the same exact well behaved dog back today with a puppy because we had so much fun the other day but today they let us know that the dogs were getting in the way of a server (even though we were seated at the same exact table as last time). We believe it was just one server- ha!
    Anyway, we did not ask to sit in the nice area we were seated so just make sure to mention to have a seat where the dogs won’t be in the way. Our new server Danielle was fantastic as were the customers where we were sitting who all wanted to stop and pet the golden puppy! The majority of the staff was great too!

    Great outdoor seating

    great spot to bring your 4 legged family. we sat outside on the covered patio with a wonderful breeze coming off of the water. They brought our pup a water bowl with some ice and we’re very accommodating. will definitely be back with the pup.

    Could not have been any better!

    This was the first place we ate upon arriving on Hilton head island, and it was the best experience we could have imagined! The hostess was so excited to meet our 9 month old puppy and immediately brought her a large bowl of water and ice cubes. The entire wait staff was super friendly and efficient, and everyone made a fuss over our fur baby.

    The food was definitely top notch, served piping hot and delicious. We highly recommend the broiled seafood combination and calamari. Our table was right on the front of a lovely water/marsh view. It will be tough for us to find another restaurant that tops this one!

    10/10 doggo friendly

    While it’s a tad bit colder in January, the staff are still amazing and made sure we had a heater outside. Super doggo friendly & the She Crab soup is amazing!

    Nice outdoor seating area

    They have a large deck with a bar and plenty of outdoor tables. We went at a busy time and still managed to get a table outside. My only complaint is that they seated us next to a door the waitstaff was constantly going in and out of with large trays and my dog kept getting in their way. The manager came over and asked us to move our dog closer to the table but he kept inching out so that was annoying. Had they chosen any other table to seat us at, it would not have been a problem.

    Great Restaurant

    Need reservations. Wonderful open outside deck, excellent social distancing, no mask required. My dog enjoyed herself, she got a big chrome bowl of water. Meal was delicious and reasonably priced for Hilton Head. 5 bones.

    Great lunch!

    Beautiful setting over river and marsh. Very quiet at lunchtime. Grilled mahi sandwich and fries were great! Great service and sweet to our pup too.

    Terrific Seafood and Super Friendly Dog Restaurant

    In an area full of seafood restaurants this stands out as one of the best. We were seated right away with a comfortable place for our pup. A dog bowl was brought right away. Dinner was really delicious and very fresh. We will be back.

    Awesome food

    Went there twice. Awesome food especially the bacon BBQ shrimp. They love Ziggy. The bartenders that work the outside smoking area are the best. Veryyyy dog friendly. Would definitely recommend.. food is awesome sauce.

    Best ever.

    The outdoor hightop table seating was perfect for us and our puppy. Ice water provided for the dog. Good staff and the best calamari I have ever had. Don't miss the Asian chili sauce for dipping. Nice airflow with fans on the deck overlooking the marsh.

    Nice end to a day at the beach

    We stopped in for dinner after a day at the beach with our pup Molly. Nice covered porch. Molly was brought a bowl of water. Everyone came to see her, very nice staff. There are Cats that hang out on the porch. But after Molly tried to chase one they left. Food was good. This was our first time dinning with our dog. So glad to find places like this, we can enjoy our meal without having to worry about our dog.
