Lowcountry Lakeview

I got here right when they opened on Thursday and enjoyed their weekday special! We sat at the bar so that we had a server (otherwise you have to order at the counter) and Selena was an awesome server! She even split our bill for us which was really nice of her. I got the Cajun weak sauce (because I am a baby about spiciness) and it was delicious! The seasoning was perfect, but just in case I brought my own Old Bay (you can't take the Maryland outta me). I didn't need to use it because their seasoning was so good. Everything was cooked to perfection with the exception of the corn that seemed overcooked. I also added sausage and 10/10 recommend that. It was more food than I could eat but I'm glad I got to try everything. Their corn bread is also fantastic! I highly recommend their frozen mango margarita! They're actually strong and so delicious! I'm glad they provided us with gloves and bibs. I didn't use the gloves and fully regret that decision since my hands smelled for days to follow. It'd be nice if they had lemon soap or special soap to help remove the scent but I know that's asking for a lot. I appreciated the sinks in the middle of the restaurant to wash up (and the mirrors next to them). They also didn't have the tiny forks to get meat out of the shell (often provided when eating any kind of shell fish), but maybe that's an east coast thing.

I usually don't give a restaurant 5 stars, but Lowcountry deserves it. Didn't think I would be able to eat anything from here with my shellfish allergy, but when it was recommended for me to try the veggie boil I was like okay and oh boy was I surprised. This boil had me doing the happy dance. The everything vegan sauce owns up to its name..it is Everythang!!. The sauce is bold with a lemony, garlic flavor. The garlic can make it overpowering if you're not a big fan of garlic, but luckily you can request less garlic in the sauce. Sauce can be a little thin at times, but I usually get extra sauce so that doesn't bother me. Vegetables are fresh and if you don't like a particular vegetable they will let you get extra of one of the other veggies instead. The boil can feed two people and you will have leftovers for days. Second best part is the andouille sausage as it is not spicy and compliments very well with the vegetables. I found out about this place from my cousin when she came to visit as she and her husband were looking for a seafood place and over a year later I tried them for myself and am so glad I did.

The food was OK. The crab legs were very skinny, the hot dipping sauce was more ‘heat’ than spice. You cannot substitute anything including the abomination that is the jalapeño corn bread. Service was also OK. I asked for an extra sauce that took like 20 minutes to come out, there’s no to go boxes only to go bags ?? So I guess bring your own if you don’t want a mess. Servers were sorta nice, but not nice enough for $122

Lowcountry was the first seafood boil spot I had when I first moved to chicago. I searched " where to eat seafood boil in Chicago" and it was the first one that came up! 😂 They have amazing flavor with a thicker sauce, and a wide range of fresh seafood that perfectly curbed my seafood cravings. Service is a little weird. We sat there for 10minutes before we knew we had to order at the counter inside. Probably should add some signs . Otherwise the people are nice and there's a hand washing station in the middle Ive been here 3 times now , 2times in south loop for take out and dine in and once here. So it's absolutely delcious.

Servicable food at reasonable price. Not a truely authentic experience but it scratches an itch to be sure. I would recommend it if you were unsure of a full dive into the world of Cajun boils, plenty of food in the combos as well. They seemed a little under staffed at the bar but we did go on a Wednesday. Overall, give it a go for sure.

Went with my buddy for some seafood boil. Overall good experience with good food. Everyone was very helpful. It is self service so just be prepared to order at counter, get own silverware and drinks. Food was good but wished it packed a little more garlic punch. Even the garlic noodles were a bit bland. The fried calamari is fried perfectly.

I've been looking for a place in Chicago to live up to what I'm used to getting Atlanta, and I haven't been able to find it until now. The seasoning sauce is a little thicker than what I've had before, but it's still really good and actually sticks better, I found. The prices are really good and a combo comes with their amazing cornbread and a drink.

I had to find an alternative to Angry Crab which closed near me. I looked into this place and was pleasantly surprised that the food was just as good as Angry Crab. Also the prices were reasonable. I got the Combo A. Which was 1 lb of shrimp and sauce and potatoes and corn. It also came with two pieces of honey garlic cornbread. Everything was delicious.

Looked at reviews for Lowcountry Loop and Chinatown locations and decided to take a farther Uber ride to this Lakeview location and happy I did. The service was okay, nothing special. The sauce and seafood were good and the flavors were delicious minus the cornbread as it was too oily and the jalapeño in it ruined it for me; that's just my taste though. The place is clean and wasn't too crowded at 5:30pm so lucky us. I would come back again and that says a lot as I'm not a seafood fan.

Wow. What happened here? Nothing good, let me tell you. Hadn't been to Lowcountry in almost 5 years. This will be my last visit. Sauce was still delicious, but head-on shrimps are off the menu. The "giant prawns" were stone cold throughout and when I told the fella at the counter where you order, but he didn't care. Worst of all, you had to run two different tabs - one at the bar and another for your food - inside the same restaurant. Which is absurd and made ordering more to eat or grabbing another drink way or obnoxious than it ever ought to be. We've got a lot of options for seafood boil here in Chicago. Lowcountry just go booted way down the list.

This location is better than South Loop. perfect seasoning and juicy flavors. I love digging jnto the bag for more and more food

This was such a cool eating experience in a hotspot of lake view. I'm not too much of a city person as I tend to like my peace and quiet in the suburbs. However, I cannot deny that the city of chicago produces some amazing spots to eat. And lowcountry lake view certainly was one of them. I will say this place can be cheap or expensive, depends on the combination of seafood you go for. My gf and I went for the big shots as it was her birthday and I wanted to treat my queen. We went for the king crab legs, crawfish, potatoes and corn with (I think) spicy garlic sauce and garlic noodles as a side I will say. This is a dinner if you don't mind getting super messy with and just say f*** it and eat everything with your hands. We loved the food as it was heavy in garlic, a little salty but flavorful as hell. I will say one side order of potatoes and corn wasn't enough - should've went for two as one order ain't it Crab was delicious and so was the crawfish. And everything with the garlic noodles was so bomb I will say next time we go - we will try out some of the fried stuff. Awesome decor and amazing delicious food Highly recommend

Great selection of boiled seafood that has become very popular in recent years. I liked that it had a bar area but service from the bar was incredibly slow and gin and tonic was exceptionally bad. Any establishment charging more than $10 for the drink should pay more attention making it. All of the food items including side dishes like pasta and cornbread were very tasty. Crabs were quite meaty and nicely cooked. Beignets were also excellent as a dessert item.

I ordered two 1 pound shrimp combo bags. One bag had their "everythang" sauce with heat level 1. The other bag had Cajun with heat level 2. They honestly both tasted the same two me. Couldn't tell the difference. Most importantly, it was delicious. The heat level was just right as well as the sauce. The sauce also made the corn and the potatoes taste delicious. I hate peeling shrimp. Especially when all the sauce comes off the shrimp when you're done peeling it. So I peeled all my shrimp first, threw it back in the bag and shook it up to make sure all my shrimp was coated in the sauce before it went it my mouth. Absolutely delicious. I ordered online and this is the best service I have ever received with an online order. They text you, call you to confirm your order and call you when your order is complete. Will definitely be returning.

Portion size was pretty sizeable and I shared with 3 people. The taste itself was good but nothing to write home about. I am not too familiar with seafood boils so not sure what to compare it too but we got the mild spicy with the everything sauce. It is pretty salty. They give you a bib and a bin for garbage and there are hang washing stations. The price is more expensive but I feel like that's expected at a boil. Again, not too familiar so not sure what to expect. There is no service - everything is self service except for when you order. Would go again overall! Ambiance - outdoor bbq picnic vibes

It's Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday? Normally I would be dreading the weekday but not when low country has a RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING weekday special. It's $25 for a bag with a snow crab cluster, a bunch of shrimp, corn, and potatoes, with a side of cornbread???? I mean come ON it's such good value and it's so delicious, I got some garlic noodles as a treat too. Honestly if you add a couple of things to one bag it's a good meal for two people but also I can body the entire bag myself... I love it here...

Love this spot! Since my last review they have changed things. You stand in line to order and they bring your food to the table. I always get the DIY bag, and my favorite things to add are the shrimp, sausage and potato with a side of jalapeno cheddar cornbread. I would double up on sausage instead of getting corn next time. The everything seasoning is their most popular, though they have 4 options to choose from. You do have to work for your meal. The shrink don't come unpeeled, but that's past of what makes it fun. They provide bibs and gloves so you don't get messy. They have a sink so you can wash your hands in the restaurant.

The dude who was at the counter needs to work on his people skills. Otherwise, I really like this place. Service was fast and easy, food a little pricey but that's expected. I made my own boil with their everythang seasoning/sauce, and it was delicious.

Lunch special Walk in get a table qr code Order pay And enjoy you want something from the bar order in

The place it's very cozy and they have all the utensils that you need to not get dirty while you're eating all the types of seafood . The staff was nice and friendly,they gave us information what to do after they sit us at the table and also advise with the best sauce choices. The only thing that I can complain it's that the garlic sauce that I choose was extremely salty and I like salt but this one was too much but I'll give a chance again for sure.:) There it's also a bar where you can order shots and any kind of special cocktails,music which it's making the place fun especially for a Saturday night out. Prices are normal so it's okay for almost any budget plus the bags with food and combo are ok for 2 people too.

One of our favorite spots and go-to places however tonight wasn't all that. The jalapeño cornbread was a little mushy and not as brown/baked as it usually is. The seafood boil/bag hits everytime! Can't go wrong with it! That everything sauce is ! The service was okayyyy-ish, barely saw our server (we were seated at the bar). Wasn't too crowded for a Saturday evening.

Delicious all around. The shell of the king crab is so soft you dont have to fight hard to get to your dinner. Garlic noodles were a delicious staple. In my opinion the biggest star of the show were the desserts. We tried both fried oreos and beignets. These were probably the best of each ive ever had. I will definitely be returning!

My friend wanted to come here for her birthday. Since they don't accept reservations we arrived at 5:30 expecting a wait & were surprised there wasn't one. If I had to guess, likely because seafood (in general) is pretty expensive right now. We got a combo with shrimp, crab legs, potatoes, cornbread, & corn. Also ordered a side of popcorn chicken & fries. Everything came out nice & hot. The crab & shrimp were very delicious. While the potatoes & fries were good, everything else was so-so. But let's be honest, you're not really there for all the sides.

My first seafood boil and what a fun dining experience! Split the double double combo with lemon pepper seasoning and left very full. Think it could definitely be enough even for 3 people to split. Everything was so good - the shrimp and corn were probably my favorite things in the bag we ordered.

Delicious, pricy but expected just like you expect to smell like garlic for the next day after eating here lol 4.4/5

I usually order this for myself every Thanksgiving. Every meal I've had here has been epic. I always go overboard and order everything I want: including lobster and king crab. And plenty of veggies. I look forward to it every year!

I've been to several Cajun boils in the city, and Lowcountry is probably one of my favorite. My husband and I usually get the double double which includes 1 LB of shrimp, 2 snow crab clusters, 4 cornbreads, 3 corns, 6 potatoes, and 2 soda. We also add in sausages and 1 LB of mussels with the everthang sauce (garlic, lemon-pepper, and Cajun sauce). For the heat level, we like hot. It's spicy but tolerable where you won't ruin your meal. FOOD: the portions were decent. I wasn't overly full but definitely satisfied when I left. The mussels and shrimps were large, and the crab legs had a good amount of meat. The cornbread is my favorite thing there. It is sweet but it has some heat to it because of the jalapeños. It is more on the dense side but the flavors are amazing. DRINKS: your meal will come with 2 sodas and there are a variety you can choose from (Pepsi, Sierra Mist, crush, ginger ale, etc.). If you like cocktails, definitely get their hurricane cocktail or their margaritas. Strong but not overly sweet. SERVICE: it is self service where you will have to go to the counter to order your food and someone will bring it out to you. So I can't really comment on their service. The only down side of Lowcountry is that your fingers will smell like seafood for hours. As mush as I washed my hands, the smell lingered for what it seemed like for 2 days. Overall, I love this place and everyone I have taken there also loves this place. WARNING: if you easily get heartburn like my husband, you will mostly need antacids before and after.

My absolute most favorite seafood boil in all of the Chicago area. The food is very fresh. My family and I chose what we wanted in our bags. The price is a little more expensive than other seafood boil restaurants, but I think it is very worth it. I suggest getting all of the sauces in your bag, especially if you like spicy! The service is great. The food came out fast. The decor inside the restaurant is cute and unique. It has a sailor/boat theme inside the restaurant. The handwash area is in a metal tub that acts as the sink.

I love love LOVE LowCountry ! I don't go as often as I'd like but it's my go to spot for seafood boils and you can't forget their incredible cornbread. I can't go to Lowcountry without getting the corn bread! Depending on how many items you get with your bag , it's really easy to share with friends or even get your own. I also really enjoy that I can choose what type of sauce I want and the spice level. I always get the everything sauce with a 2.5 lvl spice. I eat pretty spicy but lvl three is a bit too much for me. I've been to other seafood spots and the sauces at Lowcountry are amazing. Not too salty or too greasy. The waffle fries are a bit underwhelming compared to everything else but they aren't horrible, I just wouldn't order them again. The pina colada was strong! Definitely a nice buzz to enjoy the meal. The restaurant itself is very cute with tons of Mardi Gras decorations giving it a fun vibe! It has a basement as well and it's decked out ! Anytime I've gone, everything was clean , no sticky tables :) Just a reminder that this place gets pretty packed so make sure to go early in case there's a wait! I can't wait to go back! Enjoy everyone

My first time having a real cajun boil and I really enjoyed it!! Really well seasoned and just what I expected from the experience. It's cute inside and you order your food at the counter. Pretty reasonably priced for seafood. I'd be happy to come back!

Cajun boil at its best. Visited Lowcountry with my dad and my daughter. We ordered the Snow Crab legs with everything (Cajun, Lemon pepper, and Garlic sauces). I made mine hot with corn, potatoes, and sausage. It was almost too much food - but everything tasted amazing. Once you're seated, you'll go to the counter to put in your order, and they'll bring the boil to you. They'll supply the bib, gloves, and crab shucking tool. Those unfamiliar with this cuisine should just be prepared to spend a decent amount of time cracking open crab or removing shells from your shrimp. Not the best if you have very small children - but very tasty and useful for getting kids to like seafood. The ambiance is reminiscent of a port side restaurant in the bayou, warm and welcoming. I'll admit that I didn't try any drinks on this occasion but they do have a full bar. I'll be back for those Snow Crab legs. I'm salivating just thinking about it.

It is an honor for my 200th review to go to Lowcountry! What a gem this restaurant is. I've been to a real authentic crawfish boil in the heart of Texas, and I can confidently say this food is the real deal!! So they have pre-set combos you can choose from, or you can build your own bag by choosing a seafood, sauce, spice level, and add-ins like veggies and sausage. There is also a veggie bowl for us non-seafood eaters that comes with potatoes, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans. For sauces, you choose garlic, lemon pepper, cajun, or a mix of all 3 called Everythang. The everythang is bangin. The food comes out so fast and the portions are massive. Everything in the bag is so dang good and there is plenty of extra sauce. There is also a full bar, and if you come during happy hour, I definitely recommend sitting at the bar. Happy hour at 6pm on a Sunday night was 1/2 off everything - beer, wine, and cocktails. I got a delicious hurricane for literally $6! The super sweet bartender also gave us a shot on the house. The bar also offers full food service, while the rest of the restaurant is an order at the window deal. It had been a while since I ate here, but now I've opened this door again and I have a feeling I'll be back soon!!

First time was a Good Time! Let's take it from the top. They don't open until 5pm. Don't be like me, getting all excited and show at 2pm thinking you're about to eat lunch. lol. ‍ The menu prices have changed. Sorry I forgot to get a pic. A - is till the same B, C, & D is now $10 more for each one. You still have to wear your mask to come in and wait to get seated. Then you can take it off. After making selections from the menu, you walk to the cashier, give them your table number, place and pay for your food. Pick up your bucket, beverages (can soda/juice and utensils. Water is complimentary. You can buy bottled water or choose is an option with your combo. You fill your own ice and/or water with the paper cups. Then wait for your food to get delivered to your table. The wait for our food was surprisingly short, considering how many ppl came on Friday night. We purchased the shrimp combo, with an extra snow crab cluster, an order of fried shrimp, extra potatoes, wings, and a side of everything sauce. The fried shrimp was soooo good, we jumped back up and got another order. It was so crispy and get this, the crust did NOT come apart as you ate it. The fried shrimp came with a Cajun aioli sauce so delicious that we took the extra home. It also had a creamy dill sauce that tasted like the tzatziki sauce that you put on a gyro. My daughter loved this sauce the most. I chose Cajun flavored with mild heat for my shrimp combo with the extra snow crab. It was cheaper than the shrimp & snow crab combo. Just in case I didn't like it. The potatoes were filling. Corn crisp. Snow crab was juicy. The cornbread had a great flavor, more on the sweet side, which worked well when you bit into the pepper for a savory kick. The Cajun flavor had a little too much garlic for my taste and could use some old bay seasoning, but was otherwise very delicious. That everything sauce was EveryTHANG. You have to ask for a salt & pepper shaker. We chose the Buffalo flavored wings, fried hard. I did not like the wings, but my daughter liked them. We couldn't even finish half of our food, so today we are eating round two for lunch at home. Side Note: There's side street metered parking in Lakeview. There's a lot of construction on the CTA subway going on in this area. There are other establishments as well. Timing is everything. If you can't find parking, sit in the delivery tow zone on the same block. We ended up doing that. When someone pulled off, we drove up into a spot. We figured this out, watching someone else, after driving through the neighborhood for 15 mins. The closest garage is 2-3 blocks away.

Great place to eat. The sauce, service, food, drinks were all good. They had a drag show that was great as well.

Luckily, we went at a time where there was no wait! Sunday evening around 7pm. I went with 2 friends and ordered crawfish, shrimp and crab legs. The place was clean, good ambience and acceptable noise level. Service was good and the food came out quick! We'll definitely be back!

Walking down Clark looking for a a good dinner spot and you could smell the garlic from the sidewalk. We found a seat at the bar. Our bartender was outstanding. Very engaging and friendly. He was happy to help with a tour of the menu and suggestions as we had neither been to place. I had a margarita which was very sweet. Good as a starter. We tried the fried shrimp, cornbread, and a shrimp boil. The cornbread is awesome slathered in honey butter with evident pieces of jalapeño. The shrimp is served with a Cajun type dipping sauce with a little heat. The shrimp boil in lemon pepper sauce was delicious. Tons of pepper for spice and garlic. I ordered the hot temperature and it has a good heat level. The red potatoes and broccoli were cooked perfectly. This is a big portion. Perfect for sharing. We will definitely return to this or other locations.

Yooo this place is seriously the bomb. I'm drooling writing the review the morning after and am also in a depression state knowing there are no leftovers in the fridge. Guess I'll just need to go back, because holy moly this is the real deal. We honestly stumbled upon this place because everything seemed to be already full at capacity (during COVID-19) where we stopped at and were walking to our next potential place to try and dine in at, but saw this one on our way. It was literally 10 degrees outside and by no means did we want to walk any further so it was already a good idea to stop here and try it. I had it bookmarked since moving here so why not?! The staff was very friendly and the food was just next level. Ordered a plate of wings with buffalo sauce and that shit was fireeee. we also ordered 2 cocktails (both pretty strong - and perfect), and Combo A which satisfied the two of us sharing those items. Our other friend got a separate build your own mussel plate as well as a margarita and waffle fries. We were SO happy to end up here though. For real, the fact that they had alchy and it was a casual dining experience made everything better all while having fire ass food. We WILL be back considering we live in the neighborhood and I'm always wanting a NOLA - Cajun type fix.... mmmm I may just order again today.

We celebrated my cousin's birthday (before the shelter-in-place order) and got takeout from here. There was some mishap with ordering at first. I tried to fill out the online order but it wouldn't submit the page. I called and the guy said that I can't order delivery over the phone nor can I order takeout over the phone, that it all had to be done online. I was frustrated so I had my friend call back 2 min later. When she called, he said it's fine to order takeout over the phone. ??? That aside, there was about 8 people at this celebration. They got down everything right and it was wrapped up securely, which is hard for something this big and saucy! I was impressed. Most of us ordered the Fill Your Own Bag where you can pick your seafood, sauce, spice, and sides. I got shrimp head on, garlic, weak sauce, with a side of potatoes and jalapeño cornbread. It was amazing and SO filling. I did have a little left over and that was still good the day after. My cousins and friends all liked their food too. They said the calamari was okay and the garlic noodles could've had more garlic, but the lobster Mac and cheese was really good. I'll have to try those next time. We had a big ole feast and enjoyed every part of it! And thanks for the bibs too!

First time eaten at this location. Came here with my sister to have dinner. Her friend work there so we came to support. I would say the seafood is fresh and big. The price is reasonable. I like the interior design of the restaurant. Would come back here again. Definitely a good vibe coming in customer service is good. Food comes out quick.

Nice little spot in the city that is parked practically next door to a parking garage. Inside is quaint, wooden lunch tables with chairs and a bar stool area with televisions in this joint. They have a "self serve" area where you have to order your food and get your own buckets for leg crackers & bibs etc which doesn't make a difference, just cost effective for the restaurant - I respect that. After all the hype on social media I went and tried this place . I was deeply disappointed. The legs were cooked ok, not as meaty at all to what they advertised. Maybe it varies between locations? The ears of corn are clearly frozen and I'm not sure what the cornbread is made of? There's also jalapeños in the cornbread, which is confusing. It just doesn't taste good but now it's spicy and doesn't taste good. Weird. All beverages were warm and they didn't have any cups of ice to offset that. Sad. I'm sorry, two stars was generous.

SO yummy! Be prepared to get a little messy but you'll want to lick your fingers clean after. The spice on the crab legs is the perfect balance of salty and spicy. They also have lots of seasoning on them that they're baked in and serve the bag with your meal which is great because it's so good that you can keep dipping in it. We also tried the shrimp which were cooked perfectly. The corn on the side was a great compliment (we dipped it in the sauce fro the crab). We also had the cornbread which is so yummy! Fluffy on the inside but a little crunch on the outside- so addicting! Pro tip- if you come during a weekday, they offer special pricing on the crab meal where you get lots of bang for your buck!

Great food, cool place. We really enjoyed our dining experience here. It was a little on the pricey side, but the food was really good

This is a post Covid review: I'm a bit torn writing this review, but decided to proceed in case it helps anyone avoid a dangerous situation. Pre-Covid: 5 stars. Post Covid: 5 stars on food, ZERO STARS on Covid stuff. I tried to order a custom boil to pick up through their online system during the last week of September on a weeknight, it was down, so I called and no one picked up. I ended up driving over and ordering in store. The staff were super kind and useful, however I was horrified to see that the place was fairly crowded and several customers were freely moving throughout the space (Washing hands, visiting other tables, going to the restroom) without masks and with no social distancing. The air circulation was not great (it was pretty warm and muggy) so it especially felt incredibly unsafe. I immediately complained to the server who took my order at the register. It sounded like they do ask folks to wear masks when not at their tables but people don't listen and there was nothing they could do about it. I completely empathized with the server, as so many people react aggressively when asked to wear masks so I imagine trying to enforce that it may feel unsafe to the server team. I haven't realized the situation inside until I started placing my order at the register at the back of the restaurant. Had I known, we probably would have skipped-- my husband and I have been quarantined since March so this is the only situation I've been in where I could have potentially contracted with the virus--it completely freaked me out. I wasn't comfortable waiting inside for my order to be prepared, because of the people without masks, so the server kindly agreed to bring the order out to my car. The food was great, absolutely no complaints there but I will not be back for a pick up order while we are still dealing with an airborne pandemic. While I hope, for everyone's safety, the restaurant figures out an enforcement system regarding customers moving throughout the space unmasked, If you're in a high risk group for a severe reaction to COVID-19, this might not be the best place for you right now.

This was a huge disappointment and a huge waste of money. The seafood boil we got with garlic seasoning, was inedible. If this seafood boil with just garlic would be terrible to the point of inedible why wouldn't the woman taking our order let us know? We were clearly new customers as we asked some questions when ordering. We also did not get the potato add on to the seafood boil(every part of the seafood boil is additional too), which they did refund, but another annoying part of the visit. Then half our food came right away, half of it came 30 minutes later. I was sad to waste my hard earned money on a terrible meal. I took a guest from out of town who hated it as well.

This place is amazing! The food is great! If you don't like seafood this probably isn't the best place for you to come to eat. The food is sold at market prices which may seem a little high, however for the combo meals for families/couples, you get a great deal of food for a great price. If you're coming here do yourself a favor and order extra cornbread. It's amazing! The flavor of the food is great and while it's definitely messy it's so worth it. They have cute wash basins to wash your hands after you finish eating. Portion sizes are large as well for ordering a la carte items as well as the combos. The interior isn't super big so plan your time appropriately as I can see this being a hard place to get in during peak times. Parking isn't too bad to find here either depending on the time that you're in the area.

Anytime you can get Cajun type Crab/lobster/shrimp hot pot in a volcano looking sauce - take it. I suggest you get that with sides you prefer like corn or potato. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Low country and I would recommend it. I do however prefer the sauce and the sausage at Angry Crab. I grant you the decor, the atmosphere here with the TVs, Fire Place and Bar right dead center makes this place more inviting than any of its competitors. And it's basically in Wrigleyville. So come. I'm back 052519 - this place was lit maybe because the NBA conference finals was on. we had the $100 meal for 4. A very good value highly recommend. It comes with a ton of their amazing corn bread , potatoes and an abundant amount of snow crabs and shrimps and drinks

What an amazing adventure I had ordering from Lowcountry in Lakeview. The service was awesome. Placing my order over the phone was pleasant. I wished I knew the person's name that was taking orders, but he was so darn cool and funny. Also, my order was ready when I walked in, and I was given the option to purchase a cracker for $2. I thought that was a reasonable price for such a heavy duty cracker. Also, my food was neatly packaged. My drive home was long, and I was worried that my food would be cold, and tasteless, but it was not. The bags are durable, and it keeps the steam in, and the food warm and fresh. I ordered the combo D- Double Double combo for two persons. This order came with headless shrimp, two clusters of crab legs, potatoes, corn, and jalapeño cornbread for $61. I know, I know...spending that much money on take out during a pandemic is ridiculous. However the food was amazing and the price is justifiable. I ordered my boil with the "everythang" flavor (mixture of all the flavors they have on the menu). My crab legs and shrimp were so juicy and flavorful. The potatoes were nice and tender, and my corn on the cob was overcooked. The jalapeño cornbread was finger licking good. I felt like I was eating inside of the restaurant, and I was happy to make the decision and treat myself to some seafood. I didn't know about the amazing customer service, which was a bonus. Otherwise, I plan to visit this location more frequently for my seafood boil cravings. I don't eat seafood often, but the customer service alone is worth the visit.

Love Lowcountry! It's a good seafood boil. Great covid care and contactless pickup. I always get shrimp and sausage and corn and cornbread. Can't go wrong here. I love spicy but usually the group I have went with (or picked up during covid times) usually prefers less heat. A 1 and 2 is not too hot and you can even do a mix of those for a 1.5 level. If your group likes spice, definitely do a 3 or 4. The Oreos and beignet are great desserts. Love this place. Good service!

Wow I truly loved the food. Specially the service. We had an awesome crew that was making sure everything was ok. There was so much food, we actually took food home. I loved the restaurant atmosphere and the setting. I been to other crab restaurant and the are so crowded you eat elbow to elbow. Low country is very specious and roomy. Very clean and modern decor. What is not to like about getting an enormous bag full of the most delicious seafood. I enjoyed eating the calamari, soft crab shelf. The only thing I did not like was the fried Oreo cookies. I loved this restaurant for the service, food and for the price.

Delicious food and wish I could dine in here because the entire farmhouse style/aesthetic is everything! My boyfriend and I ordered fried chicken and waffle fries for our appetizers. The fried chicken had a unique sauce which reminded me of a chili Thai flavor and was super delicious. The waffle fries were also amazingly crispy and went well with the white dipping sauce (I wish I knew the name of that sauce)! We also got the seafood boil that consisted of 1/2 lb of shrimp and snow crab legs with potatoes, corn, and some cornbread on the side. All of it was so delicious and was enough for both of us to eat with little to have for leftovers. I paid about $50 and would love to come back for sure and dine in when it's opened again!

As much as I dislike eating with my hands and reeking of garlic and seafood I freakin love seafood in the bag places! Came here with a friend for the first time and everyone was super friendly. We were told we can sit forever and just grabbed a long table. The waitress came by and went over the concept. Suggestions on how much to order etc etc. we went with a pound of shrimp. 2 lbs of snow crab, potatoes, sausage and corn. All in garlic. We also got a side of white rice and garlic beignets. Everything. Was delicious I would say skip the garlic beignets, they were too greasy for my taste and filled me up way too much. I would for sure be back they cleaned up quickly, packed up our food to go nicely and were super friendly. Tip- I always say this to myself but never follow through. Get the seafood plain and get the sauces on the side, I feel like they sauce the bags too much and you end up smelling. For days. I would rather have the seafood plain and just dip into the flavorings.

The decor is great and it smells really good when you walk in. Heads up, I would request an actual table and not sit at the picnic tables that they have unless you like to have the bench your sharing with other people be moved and bumped every second like I had, the girl could not sit still and it was very annoying. I asked the waitress to move to an actual table and it was sooo much better. Anyhoo, to the food. I love spicy food and I almost got the number 3 Spicey was for the crab boil but luckily I went with the #2 hotness and it had a nice buildable kick. I got everythang for the season in and it was flavorful and delicious. Me and my sis ordered the jalapeño pepper corn bread which was just okay, I thought it could be a little sweeter but my sister said she thought it was sweet enough. You must try the fried pickles, those were my favorite, they have a nice crisp thin layer and yummy thick ranch dressing to dip them in. My sister orders a margarita on the rocks but o could barely taste in alcohol in her drink. I ordered an hurricane but it wasn't strong at all, it tasted nice but I think it was lacking a little bit of the liquor. I had a super long work week with lots of overtime and I was looking for a strong good drink but it was a miss at this place which is why I took away 1 Star. Would definitely come back.

Up until I was in college, I never ate seafood. Now I love it and I feel like I need to make up for all the lost years. Good thing Lowcountry exists so I easily get my fix. You enter the restaurant and there are long tables. This is a great place to go with a group. In fact, I highly recommend coming with 4 or more. Once you grab a spot, there are baskets on the table with the menu. You order the type of seafood you want by the pound and the price per pound is posted on a board on the wall. It's market rate and some things are seasonal so they won't be available. You choose your food, pick the spicy level and the flavor profile. And then you choose your add-ins: corn, sausage, and potatoes. Both times I've been here I've gotten the everything sauce - combination of Cajun, Lemon Pepper, and Garlic sauces. It's delicious. I've also gotten the level 1 heat level. Level 2 is okay but I feel like some of the flavor is lost. I like hot food - believe me, I'm the one who writes angry reviews if the restaurant serves me food that's "spicy" and isn't hotter than sriracha sauce. But something about the way Lowcountry adds heat to the sauce takes away from the flavor. So I'm fine with level 1. But if you're looking for hot food - level 1 isn't what you should order. I also highly recommend ordering the sausage and corn with your boil. The corn is yummy but the sausage is incredible. Potatoes taste good but I've only got them once. I feel like it's a waste because all the carbs will fill you up before you can eat all the fish. But to each their own. Shrimp you can order with the head on or without. Both options you'll have to peel off the legs and tail. I recommend going for headless because it's kinda gross taking off their heads but you do you. Either way the shrimp is amazing and next time I'm going, we're doubling up on shrimp. Mussels are okay but I discovered that I don't really like mussels. My friend who likes mussels found them to be tasty. Snow crab is yummy and fun to break out of the shell. I haven't ordered the King Crab because it's been double the price of snow crab. Once you place your order, the wait is short. And the food will come delivered in bags that you just dig into. It's a messy meal but they also provide bibs. Plus, there's a set of sinks in the middle of the restaurant so you can wash up when you're done! I also recommend the jalapeño corn bread and the beignets for dessert. Yum! Overall, this is one of my favorite places to take my friends. If you go with a group, it won't set you back too much. For four people we ordered: 1 lbs. shrimp without the head, 1 lbs. snow crab legs, 1 lbs. mussels, jalapeño corn bread, beignets, and a half-off bottle of white wine. We ended up spending about $27 a person which isn't too bad for dinner and drinks.

Check your order before you leave. Payed over $118 for two VIP Lobster/Crab bags and a pound of loose crab and got thing of the sort. To add insult to injury, they don't answer the phone when you call. So I'm headed back to get it corrected, or I'll be disputing the charge with my bank. Never had any issues before today... And I've eaten here a number of times.

As far as seafood boils go, Lowcountry is pretty standard, but it's also delicious! There are some combos on the menu with set prices, but you can also build your own bag. If you build your own, the seafood is by the pound and sold at market price. You then choose your sauce, spiciness level, and veggie add ins. We did king crab legs ($$$) with spicy Cajun sauce and shrimp with spicy garlic butter sauce. The sauces were both good, but if I went back I'd go for the garlic butter, as the Cajun was a little too salty. Just be ready to have serious garlic breath! The seafood was cooked perfectly, and there was more than enough sauce to go around. We also got some jalapeño corn bread- I thought it was decent, but no where near the best cornbread I've had. They don't accept reservations, and expect to wait at least 30-40 minutes for a table during peak times on weekends.

I had a great experience here! We came during crawfish offseason and still enjoyed our meal. Two of us split the 3 year anniversary special and it was perfect. I'm sure that deal won't be around forever though, so go before it's gone. They also have happy hour and weekday specials which are an awesome deal too. So if you're hesitant about going cause of the price, I would recommend going during the week. The food was delicious and service was great too, I'll definitely be back.
