I love me some Lowes, and the 24hr service!! Its a Foodie experience.... Sometimes I just wander around tasting and looking for new things to try. I took my parents when they visited from Georgia, they enjoyed all the choices, relaxed and atmosphere. Lots of fresh veggies, bakery, hot- cold food, fresh breads, salad- soup bar, bar area with live music on the weekends, and a gas station! They have everything and more that one would need.. Some things are a little more pricier than your traditional grocery stores, but I dont mind due all the specialties and personal service. All the employees are helpful and seem to really enjoy working for Lowes, thats a plus in itself! The place is very clean, fresh & and is nicely displayed. Tip: Go visit when you are hungry, more shopping, and enjoy free tastings on some Fridays!

Absolutely love this place! Every time I come here there always seems to be something new that catches my eye. The grocery aspect just scratches the surface to this place. Wether it be the meat market, the sushi or the bakery everything looks delicious and so fresh as if it arrived and was made that day! And of course my favorite part being the massive selection of beer and the beer den. Between all of that and the daily activities on the calender you can rest assured there is something here for everyone to enjoy!

Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR free cake squares!!!

It's 4 o'clock in the morning of the day of the Total Eclipse in South Carolina. I needed a restroom break and I saw that Lowes Food was open 24/7. Walking in, this store had the Safeway / Whole Foods layout and atmosphere; lots of food options and mini shops around the inside perimeter of the store. It was a ghost town as I walked aisle to aisle but then again, it was 4AM in the morning. Arriving at our destination, the bathroom was spot on clean and super well kept. There was also a Yelp promotion going on for FOUR free cake squares; they had red velvet! The cakes were super super sweet which satisfies my sweet teeth and morning cravings. For that, I give them 5 :)

Love the sushi. It is hard to find Inari in Columbia SC. The sushi chef will make this Inari-spicy salmon & Tuna while you shop. Stop by if you are in the area and enjoy!

Unusual fruits that I have never seen or heard of before!
Eileen R.

WOW! I was at the Grand Opening this morning and it was awesome! I'm a real 'foodie' and love to cook so one of my favorite sections was produce. You can find any and every unusual vegetable, fruit or herb your recipe calls for. I will definitely be a regular shopper here!

Regina P.

Great store! Jason in produce gave us a excellent primer on jackfruit. The rest of the staff was equally awesome, especially SausageWorks and the Cakery. Great selection and prices! The store hours are the icing!

Ask the Community - Lowes Foods

This property was sold back in December and rumors are swirling that Lowe's Foods at this location will soon close. Does anyone have any details?

It would be fortunate, indeed, if they did close. Beautiful store, unfortunate food.

We enjoyed the sandwiches & loaded potatoe salad, but the best part was the live entertainment in the beer den!

I hate leaving a bad review but I'll keep this one short because there isn't much to say. I used to…read morecome here a lot but not really happy with my last two visits to this location. Both were pretty much the same. Ordered some chicken and fries. I'll start by saying The food took forever to come out and the two staff members I dealt with weren't very friendly. Almost like they don't enjoy talking to customers or even being there. Food: The chicken was a little soggy, greasy, and had little crisp. The fries was very salty and honestly not good. The restrooms were dirty but the restaurant it's self was clean.

I would strongly advise thinking twice before eating at this KFC / Long John Silver's location…read more My order was completely unacceptable. I ordered a fish and shrimp platter with two pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw. I did not receive my coleslaw, and the mashed potatoes were the only part of the order that was correct. The main issue was the food quality -- the fish and shrimp tasted like they were cooked in old, burnt grease. The food was dark, overcooked, and had a stale, unpleasant taste that made it inedible. I contacted the store to address the issue and spoke with the manager. The first thing I was asked for was a receipt, which I provided. I was told to come back for a refund. However, I was never informed that the original payment card would be required, even though someone else had paid for the order. When I returned, I was told I could not receive the refund without that card. I then asked for corporate contact information. The general manager refused to provide any corporate phone number and stated that there was no direct corporate contact, only a survey system that routes feedback back through the same store management. That means complaints essentially go right back to the same person being complained about, which defeats the purpose of filing a complaint. At no point did I feel like my concerns were taken seriously. Instead of accountability, I was given a runaround with no real solution. The biggest concern is food quality and safety. Food that tastes like it was cooked in old grease should never be served to customers. On top of that, the handling of the complaint process felt dismissive and unprofessional. I will not be returning to this location and would caution others to consider their experience carefully before eating here.

I ordered:…read more Service was great, this was my first time here and the employees are so nice on explaining their menu and their favorite dishes. Spicy pork bowl- as is, it was packed with flavor and loaded with veggies. Everything tasted great. I also loved that they offer complimentary miso soup which is such a nice touch. The dessert section looks incredible, they have soft served ice cream and taiyaki which is like a waffle I think and it can be filled with custard, Nutella or red bean! I can't wait to try it next time. They have tons of drink options too, so you really can't go wrong here. There's plenty of parking, and outdoor seating is available when the weather is nice. Highly recommend!

Bibimbox Korean kitchen has been on my radar since opening last year. They have a great selection…read moreof boba and a few Korean staples I've come to love. From Korean fried chicken to bibimbap and tteokbokki and the main desserts this place has a nice variety. They even offer hibachi bowls here and have some great dessert options. They have a self ordering kiosk as well as a register if you want human interaction- what I love about the kiosk is you're not holding up the line and can look through the menu. This place was clean and they ordering was efficient with the wait not being too bad either. I went with the bibimbap bowl that came with bulgogi and I loved it, I ordered a mango milk tea with it and added boba ( now the boba was not very good it was hard like it was either undercooked or sitting too long) but everything else I loved. My family all opted for the Korean friend chicken and different drinks an we're all impressed. We had to order some bingsu for dessert which is their version of shave ice and it was magical. All in all if you have not tried Korean food this is a good first introduction, prices are fair and the place is clean with good customer service .

The price is very reasonable; this is a place where you could easily throw peanut shells on the floor and no one would bat an eye (disclaimer: there are no free peanuts to nosh or shells to toss). Hudson's has a buffet. We checked it out quickly (looks like it had pulled pork and fried chicken and chicken livers as protein and a lot of cafeteria style sides and desserts). I guess if I were 30 years younger and had a big appetite I might go for that deal. After a short discussion, we ordered platters: two pulled pork, and one rib. My wife ordered chicken salad. When our orders arrived, we counted three pulled pork platters; alas, no ribs. Opps! Once my order hit the table, he couldn't take it back, so he promptly corrected the order and I got the benefit of double meat, i. e., a generous portion of pulled pork and my ribs. Pulled pork was quite tasty, but I think that I have made it just as good or better in a slow cooker. I really did enjoy my ribs. They had just enough meat and a brown sugar, dry rub. They were tender and not dried out, so I'll give Hudson's four stars on the ribs. I think the baked beans were advertised as barbecue, but our friend who had them said they weren't, but still tasted good. The mac in the mac n cheese was not over cooked, and it was quite cheesy, and I was surprised to find a few crispy chunks of cheesy sauce--always a plus! The slaw was fresh and well prepared. This was our first trip to Hudson's and our friends have been there several times but not for years. I have to give them a solid three. As I already mentioned, Hudson's a good-value dining choice; the BBQ is decent, but the sides are not much better than a K & W cafeteria. A great family Smokehouse!

Yall. When I tell…read moreyou this is hands down THE BEST fried chicken I've had in probably 7-8 years? I'm from South Mississippi and KNOW me some fried chicken, frfr. This place had me hootin and hollerin this afternoon. The workers made me feel right at home like it was meant to be. I don't know anyone here in Columbia and am just getting to know the area and got recommended. We have a place in my hometown called Hartz Chicken and this rivals it (never thought I'd say it). The entire vibe was giving blue collar worker, families, hard working professionals, my white tail, and all in between. If you haven't gone in here, you're wrong for that. I WILL be back, trust and believe that. Thank you to everyone at Bernie's for being so kind to me and welcoming me not only to South Carolina but to this gem of an eatery.

I'm not sure what sparked the craving, but as I passed through Columbia at lunchtime, fried chicken…read moresuddenly seemed like the only answer. I asked Yelp for the highest‑rated spot and ended up here. The place was bustling, with most of the parking lot full, yet the ordering process moved quickly. By the time I returned from the restroom, my number was already being called. I had ordered a three‑piece meal with double cole slaw in place of fries and a sweet tea. Settling in at a table, I dug in. The cole slaw leaned too far on the sweet side for my taste, though the texture was crisp and fresh. I skipped the dinner roll and the tea, focusing instead on the chicken. It was thoroughly cooked, meaty, and satisfying. Not especially spicy or bold in flavor, but solidly good. This isn't a fancy establishment. The tables and floor may not be spotless, but the food delivers. Best fried chicken I've ever had? No. Still, it was very good, and worth the stop.
