I have been shopping at Lowes Foods since I lived in Winston Salem NC. I remember when the branch…read morenow closed in Shallotte was the only Lowes Foods, then the one in Ocean Isle Beach and now that I live closer to the Little River Lowes I have to say with certainty that this one of the only grocery stores I shop at! Tourist season is hard on locals sometimes so I discovered Lowes Foods to Go and Norma and Ashley are both so wonderful. My groceries are packed into my car for me, they take my credit card payment and i am gone! I rarely have problems with my order but when I do they are quick to fix it and give me a discount on my next trip. My son has been working there for 2 years, Shirley has been there for as long as I can remember and even my friend Tawny and her daughter Kristin work there. Why? Because they are good to their customers AND their employees! The store is beautiful, clean and everyone who works there is very helpful! I cannot say anything bad about Lowes but I can assure you if I had a complaint that management would take care of it in the blink of an eye!

Smoky Chicken That Needs No Sauce!…read more We popped into Papi's Peruvian Chicken on a Sunday, hoping to beat the church crowd, but it turns out, the real blessing was waiting inside. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, my buddy leaned over and said, "Man, someone's smoking something and it smells delicious." When we stepped inside, his grin got even bigger as he turned to me and said, "It's this place, great choice!" We both went for the smoked dark quarter with street corn salad. My buddy chose green beans, and I went with the Inca pork beans. I asked the woman at the counter to recommend a sauce, and she took the time to explain each one, patiently answering all my basic questions. It turns out, the chicken didn't need any sauce at all. It was smoky, moist, and packed with flavor--crispy on the outside with a deep, wood-fired taste that lingered with every bite. The Inca pork beans were hearty and full of flavor, a solid sidekick to the main event. The street corn salad, while fresh, could have used a bit more kick--maybe a sprinkle of cheese or a dash of lime to brighten it up. The interior's industrial strip mall vibe is functional but could benefit from a few authentic touches--like Peruvian art or music--to match the rich flavors coming out of the kitchen. If you're craving smoky, fall-off-the-bone chicken, Papi's Peruvian Chicken is worth the trip. I'll definitely be back to try more!

There was also another young woman walking around the restaurant keeping the tables clean and checking up with customers. As for the chicken; it was epic.

Highly recommend.

Overall will definitely come back to try other things like the slushies and milkshake!

Very disturbing experience at the Maryland Fried Chicken on South Irby Street in Florence, SC. My…read moresister was in the drive-thru and accidentally dropped something out of her car window while trying to grab it--it just flew out. She was trying to pick it up, and instead of being understanding, the employee at the window became hostile and spoke to her in a very disrespectful manner. The employee made offensive comments that were clearly disrespectful toward African American people. That kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. After eating the food, my sister also became very sick, which raises serious concerns about food safety and handling. This incident has been reported and needs to be taken seriously. Management should address both employee conduct and food safety immediately. I would not recommend eating here. Your own risk! I'm just warning you. This incident will be reported!! This is unacceptable!! This situation may be escalated to local media and shared publicly if not properly addressed."
