Quiet little seafood joint outside of the major towns. You order in the tent area by the parking lot and can come around the building to dine inside when it’s cold. Only a few other diners around 6-7pm on a Thursday. Started with some coconut shrimp. Came out real hot be careful. Solid shrimp with orange marmalade dip. Crab legs were well cooked. Green beans had great slow cooked flavor with the ham. I liked the hushpuppies, not too dry. Crab cake is great despite small size. Keep that in mind if ordering. The onion rings were the surprise standout. You bite into these and the onion doesn’t fall out or anything. Fantastic!

I drive past here all the time finally stopped in. Wow snow crab legs had a ton of meat. Decently priced. Order in tent area and pay first then go to the left to sit inside. Flounder fish was good too. Wish my salad came out before the food. But everything was tasty . Definitely recommend this gem.

Fist time picking up blue crab from Lowrys and we will be back! Male Mediums were $35/dozen ** of course subject to change, for such an awesome price I ordered 2 dozen. The owner had them seasoned well and ready to go with drawn butter by the time I arrived. We did this order to go but did see tables out front and perhaps thru the gate in the back for dining in. If you love crabs as much as I do then you know they are hard to find in this area. Consider Lowrys! They were delicious & you're supporting this small local business!!

Found this little gem completely by accident while out driving around. We had a dozen oysters and fried grouper sandwich. Both were delicious. Staff was very friendly. We will definitely come back when its warmer and we can enjoy eating outside.
