If there’s a vacation destination every traveler should explore, it’s Hilton Head Island. The perfect blend of relaxation and adventure draws visitors from near and far, but what really keeps them coming, time and again, is the culinary scene. Hilton Head Island has an endless list of restaurants with mouthwatering dishes! Unfortunately, good food often comes with long wait times. What if you just want to enjoy your meal in the comfort of your Beachside Hilton Head vacation rental? “Takeout” is the answer! Here are eight to-go spots you can check out.
A Lowcountry Backyard
Address: 32 Palmetto Bay Road, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928
Phone: (843) 785-9273
First on our list is the voted Favorite Southern Restaurant in Hilton Head. At A Lowcountry Backyard, you must prepare for a flavor explosion because they serve the best shrimp and grits in town! They were voted number 1 in South Carolina and number 3 worldwide. Needless to say, you have to try their dishes. If you want to have award-winning meals at home, call them or order online and pick up your food whenever you’re ready.
The Sea Shack
Address: 6 Executive Park Road, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928
Phone: (843) 785-2464
The Sea Shack tells everyone that their food may not be fancy, but they are surely tasty. As the island’s best-kept seafood secret, this shack has a fish selection guide that you can browse to decide what you want to take home. Besides the crabs, alligators, and shrimp, the Sea Shack also serves sandwiches, burgers, and homemade desserts. Seafood and down-home southern, low-country style cooking? Everything is just a call away!

Dough Boys source the finest ingredients locally and globally, so expect a taste of the world.
