Great atmosphere. The service was good. The bartender was friendly and made solid drinks. In fairness, I am from the east coast and very accustomed to old bay seasoning...their seasoning was good and came in various heat levels but it was fairly thick and although I got mild and my husband got hot...I couldn't tell much of a difference. Their special for their boil made it reasonably priced. Only giving 4 stars because I think they the seasoning was very messy...although they did provide gloves.
Lowcountry is hands down one of the best seafood boil spots I’ve been to! The seafood was fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with amazing flavor. The seasoning had just the right amount of spice, and every bite was delicious. The portions were generous, and everything arrived hot and fresh. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire meal, making the experience even better. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. If you’re craving a great seafood boil, I highly recommend Lowcountry. Excellent food, outstanding service, and an all-around fantastic dining experience. I definitely recommend.
This is a great place to visit when you're in Chicago, especially if you're looking for a fun and memorable dining experience. The food was amazing, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. It was my first time trying this style of restaurant, and I was genuinely impressed. The experience is interactive and a little messy, but that's part of the fun. We made the rookie mistake of not using the gloves they provided and definitely paid the price for it. Even with gloves, expect to get a little dirty, but it is completely worth it. Between the delicious food and unique atmosphere, it was an experience I won't forget and would happily do again.
Best thing I’ve eaten in a long time. Went for ‘very spicy’ - I have quite a high tolerance but it was almost too much, I almost went for the most spicy so glad I didn’t ! Absolutely delicious the corn is a must
This outing was a welcome home for my Son. It was great and the food was great for garlic lovers. The atmosphere was great ant the service was good. I recommend for Seafood Lovers. And there is valet parking!
