Danielle P.

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.

From the moment we walked in, the service made the evening feel special. Our waiter was genuinely kind, attentive, and never missed a beat. The food? Absolutely incredible. The filet mignon was cooked to absolute perfection, tender, flavorful, and one of those steaks you don't want to end. The asparagus and broccoli were perfectly prepared, the bread was fresh and delicious, and the shrimp cocktail was the perfect way to start the meal. The drinks were just as impressive. My wife ordered the ribeye and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The portions were generous, we left completely full, and honestly... I couldn't stop eating because everything was that good. An unforgettable meal, amazing service, and the perfect place to celebrate a milestone. We'll definitely be back!

It's spacious and clean. I also learned they have a separate event space, which is something worth keeping in mind. Customer service was outstanding. I really commend the quality of service that was provided throughout our entire dining experience. I was really impressed. They bring a very cute butterfly fruit plate for kids, which I thought was really beautiful and very on target. We tried the Japanese fried chicken appetizer with the sauce on the side. They came in chicken nugget form, and they were really good with a very subtle flavor and fairly crispy. The wedge salad was also tasty along with the garlic bread. We enjoyed the brussels sprouts as well. I ordered the flank steak with mashed potatoes and the corn. The dish was so delicious. Their fries were also really good. The food and the entire dining experience were very pleasing. I love the flavor, and everything tasted fresh. When we return we will try one of the boards.

Friends and I went out on Tuesday for Star Wars trivia (spoiler alert; we won!). Food was good, not…read moregreat, service was above average, prices were a little steep, but ultimately not awful, and the beer was cold. Cant complain too much! A pitcher of bud light was $12, and all though I appreciated the fact they gave me a pint glass with it, I was fine drinking straight from the pitcher! I modified my order of the wing chip nachos; I asked for any other cheese besides bleu cheese and for the chips to be done crispy- I hate floppy fries. Chips came out done perfectly and topped with shredded cheddar, would have liked for the cheese to have been better melted though. Most of the cheese was cooled and coagulated by the time it got to me, but it was fine. My buddy asked for his wings to be fried "super extra crispy, I'm talking HARD," and he said the wings were good, but they were not fried crispy at all. Trivia started at 7pm and the host was pretty good! We enjoyed ourselves and got to speak with him for a couple minutes after it was over. Only down side was that there was only 1 round of trivia which lasted about an hour (we were hoping for a couple rounds) and our prize was a $10 gift card and a $5 gift card. So our group of 4 tried to split them as fairly as possible since the bartender told us he couldn't just distribute them across our individual tabs (a couple bucks off each one), but we ended up combining all of our purchases and then splitting it 4 ways...which I wasnt super thrilled with but whatever. It would be nice to have a little bit of a better prize for trivia nights, but that wont stop me from coming out. All in all, not a bad experience at all. I'm not huge on wings, but I would definitely go back and enjoy another pitcher of beer, nachos, and some good trivia.

All of us enjoyed our fish meal. The fried shrimp were pretty salty, but the fish tasted very good. The tiny little cup of Cole slaw it's served with was average. The chips were just okay. My oldest said his taco was okay but on the dry side. He said he couldn't really taste the cilantro creamy sauce it was supposed to come with, so he asked our server for an extra tartar sauce. Then, he said it tasted better. The ambiance here is good. It's a very clean and comfortable spot to dine in. The prices are a little high, so for a family of three, I spent $50. I typically don't like to spend that much for three meals, but at least we enjoyed our proteins.

I visited Old Chicago in Columbia, SC on Friday at approximately 4:30 PM with my wife and sister…read more Unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience we've had here, which was especially disappointing because we've visited multiple times in the past and always recommended this restaurant to others. When we arrived, we were told the pizza oven was down. That wasn't a huge issue, so I specifically asked our waitress if it would affect anything else on the menu. She initially told us it would not. After we were seated and ordered our appetizer, we were then informed that the Spinach & Artichoke Dip couldn't be made because the pizza oven was down. That directly contradicted what we had just been told. If other menu items were unavailable, we should have been informed before ordering. My wife ordered an Irish Mule, and it was poorly made. We've ordered drinks here before without any issues, so this was surprising and disappointing. I ordered the French Dip, and it was one of the worst I've ever been served. The sandwich arrived already completely soaked through with au jus, making the bread soggy and falling apart before I even picked it up. The au jus itself was unusually thick and slimy instead of being a light dipping sauce. The presentation looked rushed and careless, as if no attention had been paid to plating. The service only got worse from there. After our food was delivered, no one came back to check on us, ask how everything was, or offer refills. We eventually had to flag someone down just to get our check. I also think the wait staff could benefit from better training in professionalism and guest interaction. The overall service felt awkward and inattentive. What makes this experience even more disappointing is that my wife and I have always enjoyed coming here. We brought my sister because we genuinely believed she'd have a great experience based on our previous visits. Instead, it was honestly embarrassing. Being from New York City and Boston, we've eaten at plenty of restaurants, and this visit simply didn't meet even basic expectations. We spent $93.47, and unfortunately, it felt like money wasted. This wasn't just a mediocre meal--it was an experience that made me feel embarrassed for recommending the restaurant in the first place. I sincerely hope this was just an off day because Old Chicago has been a great establishment in the past. However, based on this visit, I can't recommend it until the food quality, communication, and service improve.

Everyone was very pleasant! So one thing that you should know for certain, once you step in the building, you're about to over pay for everything. Another fact, the food is not going to be gourmet. All that to say, you have to level set your expectations. That's just reality. Okay, onto the food. They have a variety of menu items with pages and pages of drinks. The cocktails are great, and I love that they offer Icee's. We ordered the kids pepperoni pizza, and it was a kid size personal pan. My kids enjoyed it. We also had the mozzarella sticks which were pretty tasty actually. The cheeseburger was good, I think they forgot my bacon jam now that I'm thinking about it. They were not stingy with the bacon which I really appreciated it. The ingredients looked fresh. The brioche bun was great. The fries were the season fries. Shoestring fries or regular fries would have been better. The chicken tenders are the best thing there. The grilled shrimp wasn't bad either. The food was not as bad as I thought it would be after the reviews. The thing is it is so expensive, but again you already know it's like going to a theme park and expecting fair prices. The temperature of the food was good as well. We had a lot of fun with the new additions!

Unfortunately the kitchen had forgotten them and were in a hurry. When they did they were swimming in oil. I didn't complain becuase everything else was so good. I don't think the yucky fries are the standard as everything else was so on point. Not a perfect 5 stars but if I could do 4.5 they deserved it.
