The Hurricane Hole was a fun place to visit and eat after our afternoon on the beach. The service was good. The waiter was friendly. We were seated quickly even though it was busy. we ordered our food to go so we could sit downstairs in the open and listen to the live singer. It was a little on the expensive side but a very enjoyable afternoon.

We love Hurricane Hole!
The people are great and it’s the prettiest sunset on Grand Ilse!
Oh, and there’s great food and drinks, corn hole and other games, and live music on the dock!
AND Hal Bruni is there acoustic a few times a year. We hear that guys pretty good

The char broiñed oysters were about the size of a quarter and charged $38 for a dozen and the waitress was bragging about them (it was laughable). We had 1/2 platter shrimp and oysters , after frying oysters they were about the size of a nickle(over cooked). The grandkids got gumbo and they were both complainning, no meat and the rice was extreremly hard.They diffently need a chef at this estabishment, I think we would have done better going to fast food for dinner vs experience.

Beautiful saltwater pool and the owner is just awesome. It’s got a full restaurant, a separate sports bar, a hotel and a marina. A great place. The owners and staff are all extremely knowledgeable in the local fishing and entertainment scene. They are more than happy to engage you in pleasant conversation and can direct you in the local culture or put you on good fishing advice for the time of year. Highly recommended…

Had an amazing afternoon visiting the Hurricane Hole marina, marina bar, & restaurant! Enjoyed cocktails while watching the super fancy yachts come & go thru the marina & chatting with the anglers there for a spearfishing rodeo. Finished with dinner in the restaurant with top notch service from Shana who went out of her way to replicate a cocktail that I didn’t realize was not on the menu (it was only offered at the marina bar, where we had just been). The crab cake appetizer is an absolute must! Hubby & I shared a fried fish/shrimp dinner that was fried to perfection as well. Love to see this type of business thriving on the island!

I was initially unimpressed by the look of the platters my family and I ordered, but they ended up tasting great. The sweet potato fries were amazing. Our waitress was such a sweetie pie too and her kindness really brightened a dark day for me I wish I got her name so she got the recognition she deserves— she’s very young with long, blonde hair!

First time eating here and it was absolutely delicious. I had crawfish pasta and husband had blackened snapper. The service was great. After a long day of fishing and crabbing this was much needed. Thank you, we will go back.

Delicious! We had the calamari, grouper plate and tuna tacos. Loved eating on the patio overlooking the marina.

I wish I could put negative stars because this place deserves it. We went to enjoy a nice lunch for my sisters bachelorette trip and we were completely ignored. No menus, no silverware, no drinks for 30 minutes. We went up to the front multiple times to make sure we weren’t forgotten. Eventually we got fed up with it and left when we were finally acknowledged with a sarcastic “have a nice day ladies.” Ridiculous.

Food and service was good. There was a lively group a few tables over that were …happy. The sound did fill the restaurant. However, our experience previously was not as loud. They were simply having a (very) good time and the acoustics of the restaurant seemed to elevate the volume.
Hurricane Hole is pretty! The dining area is spotless clean, bright, has a bit of an upscale feel. The staff are super friendly and attentive without being “hovering”.
The food is good. We both had the (grilled) shrimp and (fried) fish. I’d prefer a bit more seasoning to my fried fish, but it was good. It’s just a personal preference…nothing wrong with the food.
I didn’t want to go there that night because I didn’t have time to stop and change clothes. However, there are people in casual dressy to shorts and t-shirts. You can dress up or go casual.
Prices…
So, I do find some things a bit pricey. (Expect to pay $25 to $50 for an entrée…not bad) However…you are on an island. If you want nice things, you have to pay a little more. I don’t find the prices to be outrageous. They definitely aren’t stopping us from eating there almost every visit. They weren’t open on the nights we were there the previous two trips. Which brings me to their hours of operation….
I don’t know. LOL
Every time we go, it seems they have changed hours and/or days open. My guess is the seasons and the available staff.
But if you want a nice sit-down dinner and…if you can get there on an open night, before 8pm, it’s worth a visit.
We will be back!
