Sweetwater Steamer
Hilton Head's Best Lowcountry Boil — Take Home & Cook, or Ready to Eat
Our Local Take
Sweetwater Steamer is our go-to for an authentic Lowcountry boil — and the fact that it's takeout only is exactly what makes it great. They pack a signature metal bucket with fresh shrimp, crab, corn, potatoes, and andouille sausage. Take it back to your rental, cook it on the stove in about 40 minutes, and spread it out on the table. Or order it pre-steamed and ready to eat if you'd rather skip the cooking. Either way, it's the most authentic Lowcountry experience you can have on the island.

Insider Tips
Order online at sweetwatersteamer.com before you head out for the day so your order is ready when you arrive — they can sell out on busy summer days.
The metal bucket is the signature move, but the pre-steamed option is perfect if you're heading to the beach or don't have a full kitchen at your rental.
They also offer pulled chicken and BBQ pork if not everyone in your group is into seafood.
