We hated being those people who came in the last thirty minutes, but they welcomed us with smiles anyway. Everyone was amazing and our server incredibly attentive. The food was WOW. Their burgers are just perfect, even with a GF bun (didn't even crumble). Their gluten sensitive menu had sooo many options that you can't miss out on a good pizza or sandwich. My sister got their pasta, which was good and veryyyy flavorful. The restaurant itself isn't too bad for being in an outlet mall. The open space and windows gave a refreshing feel and great view for people watching. read more

Salty Dog Bluffton - Awesome hushpuppies. They are crispy and sweet! - Pizza Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

Remarkable. An iconic tourist spot but also many locals come back. I went to the actual Sea Pines Resort one but I couldn't find it on the search tab for the review. The outside deck/patio was packed with people and a musician playing awesome tunes. Order a Watermelon Crush to start and it was pretty darn good. The food was fantastic. Service is outstanding. The whole logo and cult like following is huge. On Hilton Head I've counted no less then 20 Salty Dog Cafe pieces of clothing be worn on any given day ( of course I bought a shirt). Great atmosphere. Ordered Gator Bites ( best I've had) raw oysters, a Po Boy , and the fish special ( mahi mahi) All the food was sensational. Most the sides, French fries, coleslaw were average but the mains were a hit. Definitely will come back. I now see why it has such a big following and a monster brand. Overall 8.9 out of 10. read more

Good lunch spot while shopping. Server was a bit slow but I think that's the southern way. Took a while for a drink. Otherwise food was very good. Order pimento cheese dip for an app which came with warm pita bread for dipping. Then had a southern fried chicken Sammie . Great meal. read more

We stopped in here for lunch on a quick stop at the outlet mall our way to Beaufort and saw Salty Dog. We had eaten at the one in Hilton had many years ago and decided to try this one. I must say we were very pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and the portions for the money. All of our meals were very good. We tried she-crab soup, fried fish sandwich, and the crab cakes. They were all very good! The only thing that we didn't really like were the hush puppies. They were more like little donut balls than the savory kind of hush puppies we enjoy, but they were tasty. read more

Being on a gluten free diet I was really craving pizza and found Salty Dog and boy, I'm so glad I did!!! It was phenomenal!! My husband ordered a supreme pizza and it was delicious as well! Both were loaded with fresh toppings and so satisfying ! We enjoyed sitting outside in the cool breeze on the patio. Our server was the nicest young man and checked on us often, as did other staff. They kept our drinks filled! I would love to come again if we are ever back in the area! read more

My family had a great experience eating here after shopping around the Tanger Outlets. We just needed a mid-day snack, something light, and we've eaten at the South Beach location plenty of times so we were familiar with the Salty Dog franchise. Our server, so sorry I forgot his name, was very attentive and on point! He was able to get me a hard-boiled egg that I requested for my salad because I needed some protein, but the salad itself was so refreshing and I enjoyed the house ranch. read more

We stopped in there today while my "Lady Friend" was shopping at the Tanger Outlet mall for Happy Hour*. It was NO DOUBT the BEST $4.00 Margarita on the rocks with salt that I have ever had. We also shared their BBQ Chicken Nachos which were delicious and a great deal for only $7. * Please note that these were the HAPPY HOUR prices at the bar. read more

We were delighted to find the Salty Dog while perusing the Tanger outlet mall. Hot dogs, pizza, salads - what more could you ask for! I will certainly be taking more trips to Bluffton to frequent this establishment. The menu is quite extensive and the story of Jake, the dog, is so heartwarming. The food was very good and the staff was very courteous. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I recommend this place strongly! read more

Food is always great. Service is fast! Servers are knowledgeable. Family friendly setting. I love their food and a huge selection also!

Stopped by after a morning of shopping in Hilton Head. Expected to have a wait - however we walked right in and were immediately seated. Hostesses were okay, but our server was incredibly kind and assertive. We had the meat lovers pizza and a large salad. The salad was fresh with baby spinach and not just a bunch of iceberg lettuce. Pizza was cooked perfectly with a ton of meat. Service was excellent. read more

Food was delicious. I would definitely visit again and it was closer than going all the way to SeaPines read more

I went there 2 years ago and couldn't wait to go back again! Well that's where the wheels came off, we went in and were told there would be a 35-45 minute wait, (it rained all day, Saturday, so I guess everyone was going to eat) which was understandable. We went back 35 minutes later to check (because they hadn't texted me yet) and I was told that I would have a 30 minute longer wait, so we were very hungry and I told them not to worry about it we would go eat elsewhere, they wanted to get the manager and ten minutes into explaining to the manager we were hungry and going to get food now, to which a row of seats had opened at the bar, we were seated and ordered drinks, about ten minutes later we got the drinks and ordered our food, we then waited about 50 minutes so I was going to pay for the drinks and go eat somewhere else, once again they got the manager, then ten minutes into that, they said they were bringing our food so we went back to our seats where they had taken the food back to the kitchen then brought it back ten minutes later overcooked and cold, to which I was asked how is it and when I told her she said, you guessed it, let me get the manager, I told him the same thing, he was willing to remake it but it was too late, because it was two hours later. So when I went to pay the bill they didn't think that they should do anything, like maybe comp the drinks or give me a discount but they asked again about the service and food, to which I told them I would never come back and they just said ok! read more

Food was way better than expected for a chain restaurant in an outlet mall. Ambiance is lackluster and could use some excitement.

Hush puppies tasked like donuts with a nice crunchy outside. The she crab soup was delicious! I could go back for seconds! Everyone was very pleasant and attentive. read more

We were running errands in Bluffton and decided to stop for lunch. I called ahead to see what the wait would be (Sunday at noon in the outlets). No wait for a table of two. When we arrived a few minutes later, still no wait, and we were taken to a table. I almost always order the crab cakes at Salty Dog because they are Maryland style (not Carolina style with pimento). This lunch sells for $20, and I am not going to lie, I was disappointed. There wasn't any lump meat in this crab cake it was all the tiny flaked meat. It was smaller than normal, but it had good flavor, and the romoulade was good. Overall, I will not be in a hurry to eat here again. There are too many other good places to grab lunch for $20. read more

Raw, doughy under cooked pizza. Probably one of the worst pizzas I have ever had. To their credit they offered to remake it, but after eating as much as I did I felt pretty grossed out and a little ill. Definitely don't want more. read more

We came here for the first time after visiting the south beach location many times over the years. Great ovation that's super convenient. Also very new and inviting interior. Despite the staff being incredibly nice and accord, the food was definitely average. Ok for the kids, but overall quality, especially of the proteins, was disappointing. read more

I ordered the seafood platter which came with fried flounder, fried shrimp, hush puppies, coleslaw, and fries. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. Incredibly juicy and they didn't go too heavy on the breading. The flounder breading was perfectly crispy and complimented the soft flaky texture of the fish. The hush puppies were incredible. Very thick but not too sweet. Tasted like cornbread. I'm not really a coleslaw person but I did enjoy the coleslaw. It wasn't mushy at all and had a nice crunch to it. My waitress was also very nice and was happy to give me suggestions and let me know what dishes were popular. read more

How can you NOT come to Salty Dog when you're in SC?!? I know there are various locations and while I was staying in Hilton Head Island, I continually heard rave reviews about the Salty Dog Cafe location in Bluffton. Anywho, I was on vacation here with my bf, his family and not only was this restaurant recommended by the family but also by a kind, nice man on my flight to SC. Needless to say I was excited to try this place. This particular location was in a nice little strip meal which I enjoyed. I love being a tourist and I love shopping so, food AND shopping in beautiful SC, I'm there! First off, the story of how Salty Dog Cafe came to be is super sweet! As an intense dog lover and owner myself, the story of heroic Jake warms my heart. If yaall do not know the story, I suggest you look it up, it'll make you smile for sure. Secondly, the decor of the place was super cute! It was very nautical, lots of sunlight and clean. The fact that the staff was hustling and bustling was nice too because you knew the place was popping and the food was fierce. Our service was quick and fast which was great because we were hungry. The servers were also nice and attentive. I ended up ordering the Crake Cake sandwich because, well, you're by the water and it sounded DELICIOUS!!! When I received the sandwich, it was so good! The lump crab meat was succulent and tasty. Definitely none of the fake stuff here! The sauce it came with was so good, it was tart but not so much it was off putting. Definitely helped to make the crab meat more succulent and zesty! The brioche bun was perfectly crisp piled high with fresh green veggies. The fries, eh, I was indifferent about. Didn't hate them, didn't love them. But!!! love seafood and I love sandwiches so this sandwich checked all the boxes. Fresh, tasty and just all around yummy! If I'm in the area again, I definitely will be coming back. I think the only regret I have is not getting a salty dog cafe tee! Super, super good and highly recommended!! read more

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. No crowd so we were seated promptly. The service was great and the food decent. Not the best ever but definitely not the worst either. Prices were typical for a tourist area but not outrageous. We would go again. read more

I had the shrimp platter which came with outstanding fried shrimp, two hush puppies which were different but great, really good fries and very good coleslaw. It was 20.00 and well worth it. The service was great and the workers friendly. I really like fried shrimp and this was the best I have had in years. I am a shrimp dude. They even gave me a couple pieces of salt water taffy which was very nice and very good. This is the place to go. read more

Nice place to stop in after a little outlet shopping. We had a very enjoyable lunch. I had the fish tacos with fried mahi mahi and thought it was delicious. Generous portions in the tacos. They were very filling along with the rice. My husband ordered the soup and sandwich combo. She-crab soup and the shrimp salad on rye. The shrimp salad was very good and the bread was super fresh and really yummy. My son had the kids buttered noodles which he devoured. Our waiter, Deon was very friendly and personable. We would definitely come again. read more

Never having been to a Salty Dog before, I expected overpriced and overhyped American to be the style and was thrilled to have a very high quality meal and excellent service here! I ordered the flounder and shrimp blackened from their "gluten sensitive" menu and my kids loved their options. The rest of our crew enjoyed a salad and calamari. Look past the hype-- this is much better than your average hokey beach venue-- highly recommend! read more
