    Burger & Fries
    Kelsey C.

    The Low Down Oven & Bar is a great spot on James Island! They always have great deals on different days of the week, including 1/2 off burgers, 1/2 off pizza, and 1/2 off wine. Keep an eye out for their fun events, including trivia nights. I will definitely go back and try more items from their menu, but I highly recommend the BYO pizza, buffalo chicken pizza, any of their burgers, and don't miss their pasta salad side dish. Great service after you seat yourself. It's casual inside and also has some outdoor seating that would be great to watch a game at. Highly recommend for a casual bite!

    Devon Salad

    The Lowdown Oven and Bar was what I expected. The food was fairly priced and average. I ordered the Devon salad which is served with roasted chicken, chick peas, red beans, smoked cheddar, roasted nuts, and their house vinaigrette and a side of Da Meatballs as our app. There were flies everywhere and the place was a bit dirty and run down. I wouldn't go back. We did like our servers though!

    Small Caesar salad. Really good balance of ingredients and large portion for the price.

    I visited the Lowdown Oven and Bar with a fellow political volunteer who lives on James Island. It was Thursday, and she was hungry, so she wanted one of the half price burgers. I got the caesar salad because I wasn't very hungry and was trying to "detox" from a week of debaucherous eating on a cruise ship. The dressing makes a Caesar salad, and this one was no exception- the flavor balance was spot on. I tried a few of my dining partner's fries, and they were good as well. The fries are the shoestring variety and remind me of old-school McDonalds fries. I don't eat burgers or beef, but my friend inhaled hers. Along with Thursday night half-price burgers, Lowdown has daily happy hour specials. I do wish they had a vegetarian option for burgers, and they do not serve seafood at all. That felt unusual for Charleston, but I suppose it's a good thing if someone in your party has an allergy, as there's zero risk of cross contamination. We sat in the dog-friendly front patio area, and our server Katie did a great job at taking care of us and checking on us.

    We stopped in for an early dinner. They weren't busy and the service was good. We ordered a few beers and some wings to start. The wings were very good, the server gave us the option to have them tossed in the hot sauce or the sauce on the side! We ordered a pizza and a burger. The pizza crust was lite and thin, which is my favorite. Not overwhelming with sauce either. I really enjoyed the pizza, just wish it had alittle more garlic, but it was very good! They have happy everyday with different specials. We will return!

    Probably the best burger you'll find on the island. Big plus - they're dog friendly. The Lowdown never disappoints.

    If you want one of the best burgers in Charleston then bohemian is the place! (Wednesdays are half…read moreoff burger nights by the way.) but the entire menu is fantastic! I've had almost everything from the apps, to smash burgers and salads and you can't go wrong. They have a great drink selection and some of my favorite margaritas. The staff is always very friendly and the prices are great. It's a great spot for any occasions. Including family outings. There is a big outdoor section that includes a stage, fire pit, picnic tables and what used to be axe throwing (not sure if they still do this though). Definitely check it out next time you're coming back from Folly Beach.

    Stopped in with the kids, it was really far out of our way but it turned out to be worth the drive…read more Our server (I think she said her name was Alex) was awesome. Style inside is an eclectic mixed of different styles. We started with the fried pickles which I usually like but these were t quite to my taste. Just a personal preference thing, I feel like the pickles inside were more of a deli style pickle than an off the shelf super briny dill? But still good. I had the Getting Smash Burger which I really enjoyed, and the burger sauce (I think just ketchup and mayo) fit perfectly. My kids loved their burgers and fries. My onion rings were the big chunky kind which I like. We all left room for dessert and I am glad I did. The donut ice cream that my daughter had looked super unique. My pecan pie was the first time I've had in a long time that didn't just taste like corn syrup and fake vanilla flavor. Really nice place! J.Ja
