Up the Creek Pub & Grill

Food very good and service quick and caring. We mentioned that one of our party has a shell fish allergy and asked if the fries and fresh taco chips were done in the same oil as the shrimp and oysters.
They immediately cooked up a batch of tacos in fresh oil-​with a smile
Wonderful Lunch on the deck overlooking the creek and marsh wearing a tee shirt in late December.

Great pulled pork sandwich and onion rings on patio overlooking creek. Perfect before trip on island queen.

What an awesome place! On the water, DELICIOUS food, great service! Definitely would come back! I also got to hold a small alligator which is a plus!

Lovely view, terrible salad. We were quite disappointed to have flavorless, mealy tomatoes in a Caprese salad, especially since this is the height of tomato season in the South. These tomatoes could not have been local. Very little basil on the salad, mainly iceberg lettuce, pink tomatoes, and dull mozzarella. Prices were also quite high for an establishment that serves its entrees on plastic plates and its drinks in plastic cups.

F’n great BBQ! Served w side of sauce although it stands alone just fine.
Mac & cheese bites a must for the kiddos.
Top it all off w a bucket of ice cold coronas and it’s pretty close to perfect.
Note: eat inside if you can. the flies are annoying. They must know it’s the best bbq as well.

Great food with an awesome view! The service was excellent. I would highly recommend trying this place and sitting out on the deck!

If I could give no stars on this review I would’ve. I can’t tell you about the food or atmosphere, never made it that far. Called to check on ingredients of the food for my daughter who has life threatening peanut allergy. The employee who answered the phone was extremely rude and unsympathetic to my simple question as to wether or not they used peanut oil. When I asked for the specific type of oil he was rude and irritated that I wanted him to check for me. He came back with a short rude answer. I have never been so disrespected when calling to check ingredients before and I’ve called many many places. They lost out on a party of 20 people because of that persons ignorance.

Sat on the deck. Nice casual «porch» atmosphere. Thought it might be hot, but there was a great breeze-​of course they can’t control that. I got the blackened Mahi tacos, my friend got the grilled grouper tacos. We switched 1 for 1. Both were very tasty, with the blackened having just the right amount of spice (subjective, I know). Service was good and food wait time was nicely appropriate.

My husband and I rode our bikes over to Broad Creek hoping to kayak, which unfortunately didn’t happen so we decided that stopping for lunch was the next best thing! We headed next door to Up the Creek and sat out on their deck overlooking the marina. The fans and misters were a welcome touch since we had just biked around the island for an hour and were sweaty messes :)
It was not busy on the Sunday afternoon that we were there, and our server was extremely nice and attentive. It looks like they have a ton of stuff going on in the evenings that may draw larger crowds.
I had the grouper fish tacos, and my husband had the blackened grouper sandwich with slaw. The grouper was excellent– we highly recommend both dishes! This is a great lunch spot!

Stopped for a beer and snack before the dolphin tour. We head the Buffalo chicken dip and it was tasty!

Excellent pulled pork sandwich! nice outside seating overlooking Broad Creek. we had a Cobb Salad, the Up the Creek Burger and the chicken fingers, stuffed pretzel and popcorn shrimp for appetizers. All Excellent! Good Service, Good Beer, friendly customers who move tables without being asked (saw this twice!)

Friend in from hometown so we walked down to this place … Greeted immediately sat down and waitress came over. Good food, service and atmosphere nice sitting outside. Would recommend this place to visitors and locals

Too bad I have to give them any stars. Not worthy of any… Are you kidding me with these reviews? Couldn’t tell you how the food was, as I walked in and sat at the bar, I waited 12 minutes. No one even acknowledged I was there. Not the waitress, not the bar back, no one. After twelve minutes, I got up and left. Absolutely terrible. Would have been different if they had been busy, but they really weren’t. Wouldn’t go back if they were the only restaurant on the island.

I use to come all the time but the food quality has dropped and the servers act like you are a bother. The prices have also become ridiculous after the zip line went in. I feel sorry for the tourists who get trapped into eating here because they don’t know any better. The view is nice so if you really want to stop I suggest only having a beer, not wine as it is crap and you pay $ 6, and eat somewhere else.
I write this because it took 2 hours after sitting and ordering a bottle of crap wine to get food. When I received the fish and chips they were burnt! Why bother complaining because the waitress gave us attitude all night which was the 2 times she came to the table in 2 hours. I use to love this place and have been often. The past 4 times have been awful and now I would never recommend it to anyone. I am a local and will never go back!

This place really surprised me as we almost turned around and went somewhere else upon arriving (parking is limited and the overall appearance (from the outside) is a little run down.
Once inside we were welcomed graciously and sat quickly with an immediate drink order. Our server (I think his name was Steve) was great and very friendly and super attentive.
The food was really good and my kids enjoyed it as well. The inside bar area has a lot of nostalgic items and you can tell it’s a popular local hangout. For being such a small, off the beaten path, hole-​in-​the-​wall type place — I am really glad we stumbled upon it.
I recommend the Black Bean Burger with Chipotle Mayo.

Delightful spot — just right for casual lunch after dolphin watching. Treated us so generously — on the house cocktail to celebrate my sister’s birthday. Fresh burgers & I ate an entire pound of shrimp from the adjacent dock — superb!

Eat outside & enjoy the view. The food is priced right and deliciously casual.

Fun fun fun! Tiny, cute, friendly place with good food and cold beer. I enjoyed my very juicy BBQ Burger cooked perfectly and topped with pulled pork they smoke on site. We loved our waitress Terry (who we were happily surprised to see again when we stopped for breakfast at the Plantation Café this morning). Next time I’m on Hilton Head, I’m doing the Up the Creek zip line! !!!

Our dolphin tour Captain told us about this gem the day before our last day on HH. Too bad we learned about it so late because we were only able to visit once. I’d have been back here every day. VERY good.
This is exactly the type of place we love. Small, fun, on the water, and excellent food at prices much less than the «big» seafood tourist traps you’ve probably already been too.
I got the fish and chips and it was perfect. And the best tartar sauce I ever had. Homemade I’m sure. My wife and daughter got the burger and it was amazing. I had two bites. One when she was in the bathroom, don’t tell her.
Peel and eat hot shrimp was amazing too. Everything was really good… awesome. Great for kids too. We went on a Saturday night late August and didn’t wait either. Like I said, I’d much rather have eaten here 2 or 3 times than other places. It was really that good.

Yummy
