We recently (today) ordered a very late lunch after waiting 20 minutes for a table. ALL our food was cold, requiring NO cooking! However, we waited AT LEAST 45 minutes for our food, while people around us were being served. Our big mistake was not leaving when it became apparent something was amiss; however, we did wait, so took our orders with us. The hostess & server were very polite and did give us containers for our food. Upon returning home my husband said, "I told you never to go there again. The food is not that good,... read more

Took my wife and myself for lunch while walking on the beach. We were curious with the limited menu, but the food was delicious. The atmosphere is nice and laid back looking out onto the beach. Good place to grab lunch if you want to relax near the beach. The waitresses were very attentive and quick to make sure everything is going well.

Had an awesome time at the Dunes House while visiting Hilton Head. They take safety seriously. Between every customer they wipe down the tables and chairs on the outdoor patio. Friendly, attentive service. We started off with a few drinks - awesome frozen drink menu!! Yes!!! We ordered some fabulous chicken nachos! Really, they were sooo good. Very tender chicken. We also had the fish tacos which were a bit hit! Gosh how i wish we were back at the Dunes House!! Will definitely be back!

We walked to the Dunes House from the nearby Marriott Hotel for lunch. We joined the waitlist using the Yelp app, but when we arrived at the restaurant, they said that feature should not have been turned on, and we were added to the "regular" waitlist. The wait was short, and we were seated at a beautiful patio table in just a few minutes. I ordered a half-pound of Peel n' Eat Shrimp (and had plenty leftover!) and the Chips n' Dips trio to share. My husband had the Dunes House Fish Tacos with mahi-mahi. It was a solid lunch ... read more

This is for sure one of those places that you stop at out of convenience or for drinks with food as an after thought. It was conveniently located for us, so we stopped in for lunch. The menu is very basic. I got the grilled chicken tacos because it sounded like the best option to me. My tacos were cold and lacked flavor. The side that came with them was the cheap tri-color chips you buy at the store with a little thing of salsa. It was very cheap/concession food-esque. My husband had the shrimp quesadilla. He's not picky, bu... read more

Outside seating right off the beach. Mixed drinks were good. Small menu. Food was ok, nothing to rave about. Fish and shrimp tacos come with chips and salsa, which would have been more appetizing had it been made in house instead of coming out of a jar. Maybe in non-covid days, things would have been a bit better but for a last minute dinner out, it was acceptable.

Meh. The food was on par with a cheap company picnic. Our waitress, though incredibly friendly, admitted she mixed my wife's drink poorly, which was confirmed by the watered down, flavorless mess in the glass (no offer to correct the problem). Nice to sit on the beach, but the prices and low quality food leaves much to be desired.
