Definitely one of my favorite "go to" spots on the island. Mostly locals (which I always think is a good sign... especially because I qualify ;-) A few suggestions/advice: Food is great and the owners couldn't be nicer. Good menu - there is something for everyone. This is not a spot for a large group... more of a "hole in the wall". I wouldn't go so far to call it a dive bar but kinda has that feeling. Get the tater tots. They have a full bar but they have embraced the "rolling tap" philosophy... I personally don't like this because it is a total crap shoot if they have something on tap you will like (I think they only have 5-6 selections and sometimes they order strange beer). If you are not a beer drinker than no worries. I think they have abandoned their website so I think you are stuck with Yelp or some other site that may have it posted. Just go... you won't regret it. read more

My wife and my youngest son (14 yo) and I are spending half of Spring Break in Hilton Head. We let my son pick the place to eat today and he chose the Sundown Saloon based upon Yelp reviews. It was clear as we sat down that this is where the locals eat We sat out on the patio and appreciated the 6 foot hedge to provide us some privacy and we started with their nachos. They dust their chips with a signature blend of spices that made them so good. My wife got the Saloon burger, my son got the buffalo chicken sandwich & fries, with the same dusting that was on the nachos, and I got the southwestern salad. None of us could finish our meals given the portions that are served. Tasha who took care of us, while training another, did a fantastic job and was so attentive and sweet. So glad we chose this place and will be back the next time we come to Hilton Head. read more

Today was what has become our annual lunch trip while in Hilton Head. The food is great, the atmosphere very comfortable and the staff superb! Oh and the signs on the walls hysterical! read more

First visit to SS in HHI. Packed house. Fast and friendly service. Wings were extra crispy as requested. Love the shoestring fries with seasoning. Started with a salad that was fresh and filling. Large wrap around bar, tvs with sports on, fun environment. Check them out! read more

The food was very good. My husband and I both had 1 of their chicken sandwiches. They came out flavorful and juicy. Our fries were hot and crispy. The wait staff was courteous. It was a nice relaxing meal. read more

The food was amazing and it even comes branded! With the wrap I got a side of Mac and cheese which was really good as well, I do think the noodles were slightly over cooked. This bar was crazy busy and very loud. It definitely felt like we were in with the locals. read more

My "lady friend" and I went there because it was the closest bar to the airport. The food did not disappoint us, although I did find a bone in my pulled pork sandwich. The only negative thing that i have to state is the shape of the bar. We sat at the only two bar stools available, which were at the far left side of the bar. The two bar tenders spent their time in front of the booze and were not very attentive when it came to checking on us. So if you go there do try to sit on the right side of the bar as you walk in. As far as the ambiance goes the attached photos should "speak" to that: read more

Great service; great Burgers, and perfect place to watch sports! Friendly atmosphere. Definitely will go back! read more

Don't let the fact that the bar is in a strip mall deter you. The bar is more like a pub with good food , reasonable drink prices and decent ambiance. Service was also friendly and prompt. read more

Amazing food and drinks! Our group had burgers and cowboy Mac and cheese and we all loved our food. The saloon breezes were also a hit. We will be returning. The owner is super nice as well. read more

What a hidden gem for HHI. Nothing quite like it for a cozy, kind of "neighborhood tavern" kind of place. Not "shishi" or overly trendy like much of the island. We loved the blackened chicken sandwich with a great aoili. The burger sounds like it is a "must" upon our next visit. Service is exceptional for anyplace we've been. Must go if you're into a "gastropub" kind of vibe. read more

1st time stopping in thanks to the yelp reviews. It's in a dive-y looking strip mall with some other restaurants so you don't know what you're getting into. Once you walk in though, it has a great vibe of sports, TVs and bar atmosphere. It's a smaller space but laid out well. Service (Josh) was great and very attentive- gave some recommendations. It was not busy when we were there so food/drinks were quick. We had a burger, chicken sandwich, wrap and mac and cheese - little bit of everything and cleaned the plates. Each item was tasty and good size. Fries, Sweet Potato fries and tots all nice sides. Would stop in the again, worked out great. There is an outdoor patio on the side. read more

Went to Sundown Saloon the night before Thanksgiving on Wednesday for dinner. It is a small but happening joint. They have a bar and some high top tables for seating. They host activities at night - for example, Wednesday (when we went) is Trivia Night. The service was great - given it being trivia night, it was pretty loud so kind of hard to communicate but they managed. We ordered the pretzel bites for our appetizer and for meals, quite a few burgers and the steak philly. Everything was hot and delicious!! The fries come in baskets which is cute from a presentation standpoint, but also great to keep your fries from getting wet or soggy from juices/sauces, etc. (that's always the worst)! So, if you're looking for a local, lively spot with potential for entertainment this is a great place to check out or make a regular spot. As mentioned, when there is something happening, it can get pretty loud so if you're looking for an intimate experience, you may want to go earlier/before the entertainment starts. read more

Wings were mid. They forgot my fries (which i totally understand, I was in the service industry for a long time) but when I asked for them the bartender about them he never even went back to check on them so I just dealt without. Definitely feels like you'll get sub-par service if you're not a regular, considering the 3 couples that came in after me got served before me even though we were all sitting at the bar. Side Caesar salad was TINY, especially for $5. The patrons at the bar seemed nice enough, although very chatty and made it very apparent of their far-right political stance. Which of course is nothing on the business, but if that's not the environment you're interested in I suggest you look elsewhere. read more

Googled "best burger in Hilton Head" and that brought us to Sundown Saloon. Whoever wrote that was right! I ordered the Saloon Burger which was awesome...loaded with all sorts of goodies...bacon jam, caramelized onions, bacon. Sweet potato fries were great. My husband had the French Dip and Mac & Cheese. Thumbs up again. I also want talk about the staff. They made us feel like one of the locals who filled the place for Music Trivia night. We're only in HH for the week but will definitely be back! read more

We've been coming to Hilton Head regularly for a few years now. Recently, we have become part time residents. It's amazing to me how many restaurants there are in Hilton Head that we've not yet tried. There are still some real hidden gems out there and THIS is one of them. A person we met randomly said "have you ever tried Sunset Saloon...best burgers in town and among the best anywhere". Well, we had not heard of them but, we were compelled to try this place out on their strong and convincing recommendation. They were absolutely spot on with their assessment of this place. We were fortunate enough to meet the owner and had a really nice conversation with her. We learned of her passion very quickly and it was inspiring. The food was amazing with many unique options for burger toppings. The cheese curds and chili was absolutely epic as well. It was just a home run all the way around with great food, great value, great atmosphere, and great service. This will always be on our list each trip we make down. read more

We've been here several times over the last few months and will continue to return. Have always been greeted, seated and had excellent service/attention. The food is consistently tasty. We've tried quite a few items on the menu and they've all been great. We have been at lunch or late afternoon and the place is usually pretty quiet, maybe another table or two and a few at the bar. We did go once on a Sunday early evening and got seated at one of the last tables. The staff has always been super welcoming and very accommodating. We keep wondering when this place is going to get so busy that it's tough to get into. I realize there are a lot of choices for eats on the island and this is not near the beach- but still, this place is great and shouldn't be overlooked if you're in town. As locals, I'm glad we found it. read more

Stopped by Sundown Saloon and had a great experience. Ordered the house salad, fried mushrooms, and the saloon burger. Service was fast and genuinely friendly, and the food came out quickly. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, quality food and great service. Would definitely come back next time we're in town. read more

Burgers are the bomb. Top 3 in HHI. Beers are always cold and the staff are very friendly.

Awesome food, awesome atmosphere, awesome people! We came on trivia night and really enjoyed all the company and the service.

Sundown Saloon - New American Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

On Friday, February 13th, 2026 My wife and I wanted a great burger on Hilton Head Island so we went on yelp and found a highly rated restaurant (4.8). OMG! the reviews were correct! Best burger we've had in the Hilton Head Area since moving here in 2020. The young couple that own and operate the restaurant were wonderful hosts. The next time you visit HHI make sure to stop by for a burger and a beverage! Mark and Camille Kasma, Okatie SC. read more

1st time here. Delish and fast. Had pulled pork sandwich, Mac / cheese. Potato skins. I know.. super healthy. Really tasty though. Burned my pinky on the skins. The cheese oozes out. Delish. I'm just clumsy. Lighting is depressing and unflattering, a little bit noisy and echo-y. Handsome bartender. Waitress was friendly read more

Best burgers on the island hands down. Good staff and atmosphere. Never a bad time. Plenty of TVs to watch the games.

Food, great bar food. Service Excellent and Ambiance: noisy, but it ok, people are having a good time. The owners are good people, I recommend this place! read more

The food was excellent, the service was quick, the waiter suggested menu items that were on a special, and the ambiance was just right with a local radio station that was not too loud or too quiet. read more

Don't let the dive bar vibe fool you--this place is a gem. Sundown Saloon might look unassuming from the outside (and small on inside), but the food and service are on another level. The team here works like a well-oiled machine--friendly, fast, and clearly proud of what they do. The food blew us away: fresh, flavorful, and way beyond what you'd expect from a casual spot like this. If you're on Hilton Head and want something local, relaxed, and legit delicious, this place is a must. Live a little! read more

Not certain as to all of the hype. If sitting at the bar and watching people get served is your game ( it happened to be game night) then this is the place. I was at the bar at 5. Kind of early I'd say. If you're not a regular it's obvious that you're not welcome / recognized. Yes it was busy.... However, to sit at the bar and have people on both sides of me served and not even be engaged by the bar tender is .....what??? You tell me. Truly wanted to give it a go due to all of the positive reviews. No, I was never served. I left and went to a neighboring venue. No, I won't name drop. Appears I may have needed to go to Sundown when the doors open at 11:30. read more

Nice guy , service was good and our food came out pretty fast.seems a lot of regulars at the bar. Husband loved his chili dog and I got a grilled chicken sandwich. read more

All of it: food, service, ambiance, friendliness. It can get loud as it is small, but loud is good, loud is festive, loud is people spending and best of all making money, loud means people are in the mood to have fun and let loose. Quiet is for Wexford brunch with Grandma and Grandpa. For the record, I went last night about 16:35, had an awesome bartender, struck up a conversation with some people at the bar, laughed a lot, traded stories about Philly sports teams we absolutely despise, talked Pirates baseball and MLB player CM, the Beast, who is from the island. It was quiet but we made it loud pretty quickly laughing and swapping stories. Big fan and will be back again. read more

My wife and I had to take our son to the Hilton Head Island Airport today. We decided to have lunch near the airport. Found this place online and gave it a try. I had the wings. Being from Buffalo, I'm pretty picky about my wings. These were great. We had pretzel bites and chicken quesadillas as well. Everything was good. Tasha, the bartender, is a sweetheart. They had a really friendly group of guys at the bar too. We're only visiting the area but this is a good place to stop. read more
