Sit at the bar or grab a table and the service is FAST but the food is very good for a tiki shack kind of environment. We particularly liked the fish sandwich and fish tacos. Also I can never resist tater tots so it's automatically a winner. Everyone is in bathing suits and there's shower washes and things to rinse your feet off as you enter so no worries about doing anything except walking off the sand and then walking back out! Pro Tip: Check the chalkboards for fun drink specials and don't miss out on the spicy margarita

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.

Everything was delicious! The wings are smoked, which gives them such a good flavor, and both sauces were amazing. The cornbread was soft, moist, and full of flavor. So good! My husband had the Texas Philly with grilled chicken and mac & cheese. The chicken was tender and juicy, and that mac & cheese had some kind of Parmesan crust on top that made it even better. I had the BBQ with coleslaw and dirty rice. The BBQ and dirty rice were delicious and had a lot of flavor. The coleslaw was just okay for me, though. I probably wouldn't order it again. And I HAVE to talk about the Margarita Flight! It was AMAZING! The drinks were bigger than the average margarita flight, and every flavor tasted soooo good. Definitely worth ordering! We sat outside, and they had music playing and fans to keep the area comfortable. It was such a nice atmosphere, and the food and drinks made it even better. Overall, great food, amazing drinks, a nice atmosphere, and a really enjoyable experience! We would definitely come back!

(My dinner was better:) I also got a bowl of their seafood chowder. It was excellent ! View is beautiful. Seats inside are a bit uncomfortable and wicker-like. There are so many tall chairs in the bar area for seating, the only comfortable seating for folks that don't want to get up on a chair like you're riding a horse, I would recommend either one of the very few booths they have inside or the outdoor seating. They had live music that night. Our server was very nice and checked on us often. The manager also checked on us, which is also a good practice. I also told him how much we were enjoying our meal.

The weather was not cooperating to enjoy the outdoors dining area, but I could see where this would be a great area to dine when the weather is nice. We sat inside where our server, Lou, took great care of us and answered any questions we had regarding the extensive menu. She also gave her recommendations and described in detail the evening specials. We started the evening with the calamari appetizer. It was a good size portion and plenty for the four of us to share. I prefer my calamari as bit more crispy, but it still had a very good taste. I choose to order the Tuna appetizer for my main meal. It came prepared two ways, first, as Tuna Tartare and the second, seated with crusted peppercorn. Although it tasted fine, it could have benefited from a Ponzu sauce. My husband raved about his Low-Country Boil with peel and eat shrimp. The potatoes, corn, sausage, and shrimp were cooked to perfection. He did mention, it needed more old bay seasoning. Our friends ordered the fried shrimp basket which included french fries and coleslaw and the Grouper special, which included green beans and mashed potatoes. We all agreed the Grouper was the star of the evening.

I've driven past Slap Fish on my trips to HHI for the past decade--was never sure if it was "fast…read morefood" 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.

You must know where this is to find it; you can't see it from the street or parking lot. Hubby got the French onion soup. Skip this. We were not impressed. They used chicken stock and it misses the richness normally given by beef broth in this soup other places. I got the crispy tuna wontons. It was a unique appetizer. A wonton chip, covered in mayonnaise slaw, topped with lightly seared tuna, then doused with some soy glaze and sesame seeds ($18). It was interestingly good. The free house bread and garlic butter was VERY good. Hubby got the gourmet chicken pot pie ($21). Get this ! It has a wine cream sauce that really makes this special. I was jealous. I got the cajun pasta with shrimp ($30). The menu says chicken, but you can substitute shrimp with a $2 upcharge. (Which was ridiculous because they used farmed shrimp, despite shrimp boats literally being out their back door--- cheapos !!!) The shrimp were undercooked and did not have much flavor. I got the pear-adise cocktail. It was decent. Very alcohol-forward. A small slice of pear on the rim was a nice touch. We shared the restaurant's signature dessert: The Blondie brownie topped with a scoop of ice cream and housemade caramel and chocolate sauces. Very good. An acquaintance recommended the key lime pie saying it's the real deal... maybe next time. They have outdoor seating but the chairs are metal and very uncomfortable. Reservations recommended. On a Friday night, no tables were available for a walk-in, so we were squished into a tiny booth at the bar. Other couples faced a similar fate. When we didn't finish our appetizer or main dish, both containers were stacked beside my skinny husband on his seat because there was absolutely no room on the table. I even had to put the bread basket on the floor when we were done. Waiter was nice and checked on whether the shrimp is local for me (it's not) and offered to take off the upcharge of the shrimp since he didn't mention it. (We said it was ok and paid the upcharge anyway). No fee for paying with credit card.
