Reviews Hudson's Seafood House On The Docks

Amazing! Had my birthday dinner here. We got there later than we wanted and there was a 1.5 hour wait for outdoor seating. We didn’t mind because there was a nice deck waiting area where we had cocktails and watched the sunset. Wish I would’ve brought a jacket though because it gets cold after sunset on the water. Food and service was incredible. We even saw the boat come in to deliver the freshest catch. Highly recommend!

The best hush puppies on HHI! I recommend ordering hush puppies on the side ($3.50). Tasty food for good prices. Staff was friendly, and the outdoor seating was very nice. I had a BLT and my husband had shrimp. We ordered extra hush puppies on the side because they were so good. A great place to have lunch or dinner!

Hudson's on the River is a Hilton Head institute. The hush puppies alone are worth the visit (if I could steal them in my purse, I would). Sit outside, weather permitting. Try to time it so you'll be there at sunset. There is something magical about the sun sitting on the marsh lands. Order seafood. The shrimp is so fresh, caught right there. This is a must do/ see in Hilton Head. Buy the shirt, take the pictures, you deserve Hudson's.

First time eating here, excellent meal!! Hush puppies are addicting and the fried oysters were delectable. Everything was cooked to perfection. He got the stuffed shrimp, another outstanding meal. Had to sit inside because of rain, but still got to see a couple of sharks.

A couple different friends recommended Hudson’s so we had to try… it did not disappoint us. Everything tasted great. Sweet tea is southern! Atmosphere was load an busy to be expected at a popular local destination.

We ate on the outdoor patio with the 2 dogs. They brought them out little buckets with water, which was soooo sweet! The Service was excellent! Ask for Carly, she's the best! The She Crab soup and hushpuppies are my favorite along with the steamed shrimp. My husband had Neptune's platter and it was huge! He got fish, clams, shrimp, scallops, and deviled crab in a crab shell, plus coleslaw and red rice! What a feast! We got bread pudding to go!

Was on a trip and looking for a great seafood place to eat. Settled on Hudson’s for our choice. This was our first time at Hudson’s and it did not disappoint. We arrived around 6:30 and it was beyond packed. I got our name on the list for two and was given an hour and a 15 minute estimated wait time. Larger groups were looking at 2 hours. You could get your name on list for outside sitting that had about a 15 min less wait time from what I was hearing. At first glance, the place looks a bit run down and small from the outside but inside was very clean and larger than originally thought. There were long benches around the outside to sit but it was a bit hot but to be expected in the summer. There was a beautiful view of the water and docks on the side of the restaurant with both an inside and outside bar to order drinks from. We tried the strawberry daiquiri and it was delicious. Our non-alcoholic one was $9 and was smaller that a Dixie cup. To our great delight, we were called to our seating within 40-45 minutes of putting our name on the list. Our waiter was friendly and came to check on us throughout our meal. We both ordered She-crab soup which was delicious and the Neptune Seafood Platter blackened and paid a little more to have sword fish as our chosen fish. The platter was huge and consisted of fried oysters, stuffed crab and blackened shrimp, scallops, sword fish, baked potato, slaw and hush puppies. I can say there was nothing on our plate that was not absolutely delicious. With tip, we paid right at $138. Had we not upgraded our fish and skipped the She-crab soup it would have been around $118. This was probably one of the best seafood platters I’ve ever eaten so the cost was justified for a high quality meal. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area. You will have to be patient but the meal is worth the wait.

The food was delicious from the appetizer to the peanut butter pie. Had the blackened seafood platter, crab cakes were very well done, lots of crab. Shared the platter with my 16 yr old son as we went for a late lunch. Sat on the deck overlooking the water. It’s a must try for your visit, from NY and would not say this for some of the other meals I’ve experienced in HHI.

The food was amazing! We got the swordfish, Mahi, and Black Sea Bass. My little one got a grilled cheese and loved it. We also managed to squeeze in dessert with the mud pie that was big enough to feed all 4 of us. Surprisingly, we went on a Friday night and managed a wait time of about 15 to 20 minutes. The waitress was great, in the midst of all the crowd! The atmosphere was very homey feeling. The views of the bay were amazing as well. Definitely recommend if you're in the area looking for great service and seafood!

I absolutely love it here. Get shrimp. Anything with shrimp. Shrimp tacos, shrimp po boy, peel and eat shrimp all are great. The drinks are good particularly the rum runner. But I also like the low country lemonade. You can sit inside or out on the dock. As long as it isn’t raining sit out on the dock. Maybe even if it is raining. And you MUST get the brandy bread pudding for dessert (as long as you aren’t allergic to nuts). It is the best dessert I’ve had in a while. So rich you should share it but you might not want to.
