I came for food and the staff was wonderful. Hannah and Vinny were super interactive and attentive. First time here and I will return. The atmosphere, food, and vibes were amazing. Bathroom was clean.

Wings, Fries, Cornbread Combo
Ally S.

Highlights/Lowlights 1. Friendly Service 2. Reservations Not Needed* 3. Good Food Full disclosure - I visited Lowcountry on a Tuesday night after attempting to walk in eat at the bar at nearby Vagabond (it was completely packed). I had sort of been holding on trying Lowcountry until the weather warms up because the pictures online of the patio look amazing! We visited (without reservations) before a show at the Marcus Center and surprisingly only a few tables of the expansive Lowcountry space were full. We immediately were able to grab seats at the bar and were greeted by a friendly server. The menu is fairly limited to seafood mains (shrimp, crab legs etc.) as well as chicken wings and ton of side choices. My friend and I split one of the combos which included 10 chicken wings, cornbread and fries. It was only $22 and perfect for 2! The food was pretty good! I wouldn't say they were the best wings and sides Ive ever had but I felt they were fair for the price. This was so convenient to eat before our show that we couldn't pass it up. I will be back to try the patio this summer!

Shrimp lovers platter

This place is soooooo incredibly good. I frequent New Orleans so I typically avoid Cajun style food because it's never right. But this place was exactly that casual taste. Seafood was fresh, decor was beautiful. It's huge too so can accommodate large groups.

Seafood Boil
Serge G.

loved the quality of the seafood, and they do a good job on that seafood boil. Highly recommend ordering the garlic noodles for the boil on the side.

Combo 1 with garlic sauce
Lisa A.

Lowcountry milwaukee (there's what I'm assuming is a sister establishment called "Lowcountry Chicago" in of course Chicago) is one of those informal seafood boil places that have sprung up all over in the last couple years. This one sits right on water st in the old bar louie location. They've done up the inside in kind of a outdoor backyard BBQ type of feel with lampposts, picket fences, and picnic tables all over. Due to covid you order at the counter, get a number and they bring you your food as well as a bucket for shells, and a not lobster but crab bib. If you've never been to these places it's messy but that's part of the fun. There's a main Station with a sink for hand washin, utensils, to-go containers and even disposable gloves. They bring your seafood boil in a giant plastic bag on a tray. I didn't really look at the menu that much, just went with combo a - pound of shrimp, 3 potatoes, 2 corns and 2 pieces of corn bread...plus you got a soda with this one for 27 dollars. I would check for signs for specials at the register - after I ordered I noticed a 1/2 shrimp and 1/2 another seafood special at the counter for like 29 bucks. You can choose your heat level...im wimpy so I went with the lowest heat level. Seasoning choices were lemon peppers, garlic or Cajun. I did garlic and it was fine. This isn't a cheap meal obviously but I had leftovers to take home, they split the shrimp for you and they were fresh, and seafood can be pricey even at the grocery store. I'd love to go back and try something else here - great meal.

Combo C
Apurba B.

So this place is a treasure! I got the Combo C with everything sauce (a pound of crab, a pound of shrimp, potatoes, corn and cornbread) and I am still dreaming about how delicious it was. The corn was so soft and delicious. The potatoes were well cooked. The everything sauce was where all the good stuff was. The crab and shrimp soaked in that sauce were a game changer. The crab legs were to die for and the shrimp were soft and sumptuous. The restaurant inside was beautiful with that southern Nola vibes. I plan on trying their beignet next time. They follow all Covid social distancing protocols.

Crab and crawfish combo, add shrimp
Rachelle C.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally was able to tonight! Walking in it's very open and very bright. I love how they have remodeled it and all of the different seating selections they have. They seat you, give you a menu, when you are ready you go up to the counter and order then they bring it out to your table. Very easy process and the food doesn't take too long to come out. My friend and I ordered the crab and crawfish combo and added shrimp. It was plenty of food for us to share easily, almost too much. Comes with corn, potatoes and jalapeño cornbread. We ordered all seasonings hot spice level. That was plenty of heat for me, anything higher I don't think I would have been able to eat it. The manager was walking through and asked us if he could get us anything and how we were doing. He was extremely nice. I would definitely come up here again. I live these types of restaurants.

We loved ii! We came in a Sunday right away at 4pm. before the crowd got there. They were nice enough to let us in a few minutes early. A hostess explained how to order. They give you a menu to browse at the table and you go to the counter to order. You choose your protein, veggies, sauce, and add ons. We had a special with shrimp, a small lobster, crab legs, corn, and potatoes. We also added sausage links and garlic noodles. You get corn bread included. There are several sauces to choose from. We had the everythang sauce which is a mixture of all the sauces. They bring the bag to the table and cut it open in front of you. They offer bibs and gloves so you don't stain your clothes. It was the two of us and we were happy with portion size and the flavor was off the charts! They recommended using the noodles to stop up the sauce. I'd love to try the other options. desserts were fried Oreos or benights. We will be back for sure.

I dined here and sat at the bar. The food was pretty good, I just got crawfish, corn and potato. The service was my main issue as they were just very unprofessional and were taking nonstop shots with the patrons. Typically I'd be fine with it but it was more of a party scene. They offered me shots and I politely declined and it seemed to upset the waitress. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back.

We started off with some fried okra which was very good. The sauce it came with was a little spicy. Everyone enjoyed it. For dinner I ordered the bone-in fried chicken (white) with green beans and a side salad. The chicken was good. The green beans were a little bland. The side salad was good but I ended up not being a fan of the Apple Cider Vinaigrette dressing. My son ordered the Southern Chicken BLT which looked good and he thoroughly enjoyed. My husband ordered the Surf, Turf, & Yolk. He said it was ok but the Brussel Sprouts were too burnt. I also want to mention the servers were great even though it was close to closing time. By the time we left and some of the other tables were leaving it was after closing time. I hope we can come back and try this place earlier in the day sometime.

Hands down the best fried chicken and ox tail I've had since the hay days of Browns chicken (IYKYK). Had to drive 25+ minutes to get there and by the time I made it home with my 12 piece & ox tail it was the perfect temp! Tried sneaking a piece on the way back but it was still crazy hot and fresh! And even the chicken breast was plenty moist when I got home and commenced. Also the cornbread was super moist and has plenty of flavor! Mac and cheese wasn't half bad seriously some of the better Mac I've had in a bit as well. I think I've found my new spot 10/10, I highly recommend this place!

Fried chicken wing dinner and oxtail dinner. Sides greens, yams, mac, & red beans and rice. Used the restroom while we waited. It was fairly clean until the sink showed hair from someone who had just had a fresh haircut. EWWWW... Food was ready in like 10mins. High hopes when I saw the chicken was freshly cooked and everything was hot. And the joy ended there. My oxtail were soooo fatty! Can't believe they served them. Barely any gravy just the gravy from the fat it seemed. The employees should've eaten them, FREE!!! Yams, seemed canned and just not good. Reb beans and rice were dry and old. Mac and cheese wasnt baked, but heard was ok. Chicken was fresh/hot, but lacked any seasoning! Smh... Baby with the attitudes their serving (read other reviews) you'd think they had something special going on in here! NOT They had a steady stream of customers, they're in a great location.

Wide variety of liquor too. Only Monte Alban Mezcal. It's the one with the worm and i got the worm. It's going to be a good day. The wings are expensive, literally $2/piece and these are wing parts, not whole. The thing is... they are friggin delicious. Perfectly crispy, perfectly seasoned and the little grill marks on a fried wing .chefs kiss. I'd come back just for the expensive and delicious wings. No doubt! I had the 2 meat plate. Turkey and st Louis ribs. Flavorful and tender. They had about 5 sauces to try. Oddly i liked the white Alabama. Don't judge me. The cole slaw was different. Vinegar and dill forward. I wouldn't get again. The Bacardi beans was ok. The struggle was that i don't eat other people's Mac and cheese nor potato salad unless it has been vetted. Too many variations. I'd highly recommend the wings and the meats. Maybe stay safe and get a salad and some dirty rice. I'd come back... for the wings! Def don't sauce them, like they said. It don't need it and you want to taste all the flavors.

The ribs were good and had a nice smoky flavor, but personally I think I prefer my ribs grilled over smoked. The baked beans were decent, but lowkey felt like they were missing a little something. The mac & cheese was easily the best part of the meal though: creamy, cheesy, and the side I'd come back for. It also came with two slices of bread and plenty of sauce options to try. 3/5 Good BBQ spot if you're into smoked meats, but for me the mac & cheese stole the show.
