    Housemade Pickles
    Susan R.

    I've driven past Slap Fish on my trips to HHI for the past decade--was never sure if it was "fast food" or beach seafood shack or what...and while locals either love or hate the place, I was encouraged to give it a chance and it would surprise me. I visited during the last week of February, so definitely "pre-season" and there was no wait (or many patrons) at 6:00 pm. I must confess that I am a New Englander, so we take our seafood pretty seriously; I'm not daft enough to order lobster in SC, when it should be coming from Maine, so I passed over those options, but I was curious to try the "New England Clam Chowder". We also ordered the fried pickles w/ Jersey sauce, an order of the special Jax shrimp (akin to bang bang shrimp), 2 fish sandwiches, a shrimp burrito, and I had an ultimate taco. You order at the counter, grab your utensils and condiments off to the side, along with fountain drinks & iced tea. They sell draft beer, a limited variety of bottled beer, some Truly-type seltzer cans, but I had to have a Mexican Coke, even though it set me back $4.50. Sit in the dining area and the food is delivered to your table. First off: the NE clam chowder was hot and filling, but it was more like a loaded baked potato soup--too viscous (not dairy based), some clam flavor, but too much bacon. I spied some clams, and there was a spicy finish; truthfully, I could not finish it but folks unaware of how it should be wouldn't bat an eye. The fried pickles were large spears in a light, tempura-like batter; the group agreed we'd have liked them cut into smaller bites to make them easier to manage. But tasty. The fish sandwiches were piled high with fresh cod filets, lightly breaded and sitting atop a brioche bun piled with lettuce & tomato, served with seasoned fries (paprika-forward). We got a side of the homemade coleslaw, and everyone agreed it was fresh and delicious. The shrimp burrito took a bit of time to come out after all the other dishes, but it was large and half was taken home to finish later. My ultimate taco was fabulous! It arrived garnished like some sort of fancy-pants entree at a high-end restaurant--a huge surprise and very filling. It lived up to its description requiring two hands to hold it. My favorite of the night was actually the special Jax shrimp, which we added on a whim--shrimp was perfectly breaded & fried, all very plump & juicy. I'd have eaten another order of them if I'd had the room. I believe Slap Fish is worth a visit--perhaps several visits. If you discount the New England clam chowder (get a native in the back to show the cook how to make it!), every piece of fish was fresh and delicious. Again, I'm not sure how Slap Fish measures up in the height of the summer season, but I was pleasantly enlightened on my first visit.

    The bad boy of shrimp burritos.
    Steven M.

    My wife and I took an extremely short trip to the Savannah/Hilton Head Island area last week to check it out and got super hungry while doing it. We were driving down what I think was the main road through the island when we drive by Slapfish, liked the logo, and decided to come stuff our faces. This place looks like a fast food style restaurant for seafood and I had no issue with that (I did google it and find out both Utah and California also have locations so I probably wouldn't of come here if I knew it was a chain, but it was still good so oh well). The menu has fish n' chips, tacos, burritos, and a bunch of other seafood options to cure any hunger. For me? Well, I saw the giant shrimp burrito when I walked in and knew it was my destiny to inhale that bad boy like a whale eating crustaceans. My eyes definitely underestimated the size of the big shrimp burrito as it was absolutely massive, almost two burritos pretending to be one. It was packed with rice, huge pieces of shrimp, and some sauce that tasted phenomenal. I managed to eat the whole dang burrito (and get a nice slapfish sticker for doing it) and left being as full as I could possibly be. The burrito itself was absolutely delicious and probably one of if not the best shrimp burrito I've ever had. The burrito was also served with some seasoned tortilla chips on the side that I tried a few of and they were really good as well. Overall, Slapfish was an unexpected home run and a place I will absolutely be back to in the future. The food was absolutely delicious while the staff were extremely friendly. The restaurant itself was well decorated for the style it was and I have pretty much no complaints. Five stars for this massive shrimp burrito!

    Lobster Roll
    elliot g.

    Slap tha fish!!!! Lobster roll and fries. Is a must get!!! The buttered roll filled with fresh lobster meat with crispy fries. Quick polite service. They serve beer too. Try a local IPA. The restaurant was clean, several TVs and seating too. The seats can get uncomfortable if you're seating for a long period of time. My next visit. I plan to try the lobster grilled cheese.

    Abina G.

    This was our first time here. The young lady who waited on us was very helpful. There a is a good gluten free selection. Good, fresh ingredients. I tried the grilled cod and snapper tacos. They recommended 2, but J was only able to finish one. The cole slaw was simple, but paired with tarter sauce. The in house tarter sauce was flavorful, with a hint of dill. There are multiple sauces. Fish and chip were "delicious " and "highly recommended." They use soda water instead of beer, creating a light and fluffy coating. Definitely a good place to come for quick and fresh food. The restaurant is open and airy with a nice cross breeze. There is outdoor seating, too.

    Citrus shrimp salad
    Shelly A.

    Everything on the menu sounded fabulous. Locals picking up orders they called in recommended the lobster roll and lobster taquitos. However, if you are limiting your carbs, head for the salad. This was a great mix of shedded cabbage with a few carrots on primarily a bed of spinach. The shrimp were very good with a citrus sauce. The sauce from the shrimp helped to flavor the salad, so I barely used the dressing (which also had a great flavor). I would definitely return.

    Whitefish crispy
    Typhanie B.

    This was my first visit to Slapfish, perfect meal after a day at the beach. We wanted fish and chips, Slapfish served it up nice, fresh, and crisp! The batter on the fish was light and crispy. If you love hot sauce, they have a hot, hot, hot selection. For the sweeties, they have key lime pie, banana cream cake and some others..., I tried the banana cream cake, it's creamy, moist, and nutty. . Great variety of fish on the menu for everyone in your party! Hospitality is great and the restaurant is clean!!! Slapfish is a winner!

    Salad
    Vasily K.

    This is one of the rare occasions that a restaurant that looks like a chain but isn't a chain is actually damned delicious. Luckily, it was the first place I ate on HHI, so I knew where to go for the good stuff. I ate the gambit from the fish and chips, the salads, the tacos, and all the sides. Absolutely delicious! A couple of fresh options local to the area and some which are definitely flown in, but they are honest with a cool sourcing board on the wall as soon as you walk through. The staff is also great and knowledgeable about the food. They are usually very welcoming without lingering. Stupid good time!

    Kids All American Grilled Cheese
    Gloria M.

    Visited for the weekend, we had always wanted to try authentic southern seafood and this is the place to visit. The service was prompt we didn't have to wait more than 30 min for our food. The food was very flavorful and fulfilling the portion sizes were very generous. I ordered the Surf N Turf Burger and kids grill cheese. There's plenty of parking and is close to the Omni resort we were taken by the shuttle. Will go back again when we visit Hilton Head.

    Needed seasoning.. fish and fries ($14)
    Christina E.

    Well, we tried. First off, the fried pickles were really good. Unfortunately, the rest of our food fell flat primarily because of the seasoning. We ordered the single fish and fries ($10) and double fish and fries ($14). The shrimp burrito was a very good size but not a lick of seasoning. The guy at the front taking our orders was very helpful and nice. Would I visit again? Probably not, but they have sauces, vinegar, hot sauce, tarter, and Old Bay seasoning that can help.

    Ultimate Fish Taco
    Nanci P.

    Quick service from a very friendly employee. Food was fresh and hot. Portion size was sufficient for the price. We ordered the fish tacos, tuna poke bowl and the lobster roll. The lobster roll was smaller than the one at Brown Bag but it does cost less. If you want a fresh healthy lunch/dinner this is a good option in Hilton Head.

    Double fish and Double Fish & Chips
    Brian J.

    Great fish! Had the double fish and chips, along with the grilled fish rice bowl. Large portions. Great quality. The owner was there pacing around - you can tell he works hard to keep the quality up. We enjoyed it!

    Hawaiian Bowl
    B T.

    Food was delicious! Staff - not necessarily unfriendly. More like indifferent. Like didn't care if they had customers or not. So depends on what's important to you. Ambiance was beachy - open doors, seat yourself, order at the register, fix your own drink. Clean up after yourself.

    Epic Shrimp Burrito
    Kelly M.

    Delicious! Fast service! We had the fish taco, and the shrimp burrito. Customer service was really good, something that is rare nowadays. The interior tables, design, is beautiful, clean and spacious.

As we arrived here we were taken aback by just how pretty it is outside and although it's too cold to sit outside this would be a great place to come in nicer weather. There is dining outside and sometimes live music. Tonight the guys were good. I bet in season this place is mobbed. There is also plenty of on-site parking and other places to shop if you felt like doing so. We ordered a dozen of the oysters and they were the kind that I enjoyed last time we were down at Hilton head - St. James oysters. They are plump and juicy with a slight brine. Absolute perfection which was beautifully presented on the tray of ice. See my pics. We decided to share a bowl of the shrimp chowder and saying that it was fabulous is accurate. Hunks of tasty, local shrimp in a creamy base, put smiles on both of our faces. I ordered the Poké bowl which was full of high grade tuna accompanied by basmati rice, chopped cucumbers that felt like they just came out of the Earth, and edamame. They were lightly seasoned with wasabi aioli which was creamy and very gentle on the palate. My partner got the low country boil which he enjoyed because he loved the shrimp and the sausage with the potatoes being done to perfection. $5 HH domestics and good service added to the pleasurable experience.

We were lucky to get seated outside because the live music and views were immaculate. The oysters were super fresh.. so fresh in fact we found a little crab in one of them.

The sauce was creamy but somewhat bland, which allowed for the perfectly cooked scallops to shine. My mom got the seafood pasta which was fantastic and flavorful. We met the manager who made the effort to talk to and get to know us! If we are back in Hilton Head, we will be back here!

The high-tops outside are great because they're completely covered, while the tables with umbrellas still get sun depending on where the sun is. They have several powerful fans outdoors plus the seating is comfortable with a great view of the trees, boat, and water. The crab punch cocktail was good, but the crab coconut rum tasted a little odd to me (their exclusive brand). I preferred the salty Chihuahua cocktail. All drinks are thankfully strong (everywhere else on the island they were weak). The Jalapeño hush puppies seem like they are made in-house, and they're very flavorful & crunchy. The hush puppies came with honey butter which was also amazing. The lunch grilled grouper fish taco was delicious & fresh. The salsa on it was very flavorful! The house-made potato chips are also great. Service was great (not rushed). They do need drink coasters (water was all over the table). We came back for dinner. They had live music. Abby& Taylor were the two different servers we had and they were both amazing. They did not rush us. The fried green tomatoes were very good with lots of pimento cheese and crunchy unlike the ones we had at Old Oyster Factory. The pineapple Mojito was good. Overall great experience!

The outdoor seating is a nice touch, with a mix of open-air tables and some covered spots at the bar for shade. The drink menu is decent, with plenty of tropical cocktails to choose from, though the beer selection is surprisingly limited for a place that stays this busy. Most of the service seems to run through the bar, and while the bar staff was friendly, upbeat, and doing their best despite being absolutely swamped, the table service was pretty spotty. The food menu is just okay--nothing terrible, nothing standout. I ordered the Caribbean Jerk Chicken sandwich at lunch, and unfortunately it did not sit well with me at all. It upset my digestive system enough to derail one of my vacation days, which definitely colored the experience. One thing that stood out was the presence of armed security guards. Not necessarily a problem, but it does create a different atmosphere than you might expect from a casual beachfront bar. Many reviews have mentioned the parking. We stayed at the hotel, so it wasn't an issue for us but somebody sitting next to me at the bar was ejected by management for something related to parking. I'm not sure of the exact details because I couldn't hear the conversation well, but it seemed to have to do with either buying or selling a parking pass with someone else. There was another incident where an unruly patron had the police called on them after engaging with one of the aforementioned security guards. That said, these seemed to be atypical of the total experience. Overall, it's an entertaining spot for drinks and music, but the unpleasant food experience land it at a middle-of-the-road three stars for me.
