Amazing food and service! The nachos were amazing! The pork is slow cooked I'm almost positive. So tender! There's also a habanero glaze that just spices up the nachos perfectly. The pot pie I got a chance to try and it is definitely home made to perfection I'm just a passerby visiting but definitely going to give these guys a five! read more

The Lowdown Oven and Bar - Nachos, Chicken Pot pie - Sports Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

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! read more

Had burgers here last weekend, loved it. Entire party said the burgers were cooked perfectly. Beer and cocktail selection was excellent. Great service, great outdoor eating, will definitely be back. read more

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! read more

This place has great deals each weeknight on different menu items. I like their burgers, and they have a delicious pasta salad with a pesto type dressing. Laid back vibe, with and outdoor patio as well. Great food that's not too pricey ! read more

Burgers are excellent service is excellent don't sleep on this place good prices too I'll be back

Love this spot. Lets be honest, iykyk. Food is always on point. Putting aside any place that "smokes" their wings, LDOB, prolly has some of the best wings in town...FO SHO. Pizza's are always on point too, and they offer a really good gluten free crust, something you dont always see (damn you glutens). Never had a bad meal here. Staff has always been friendly and spot on. Service, from my experiences, never an issue. Cheesesteak, burger, and pizza specials weekly, as well as wine specials. This place sneakly has some of the best grub on james island, if not the best. Yes you might get a lil dive bar vibe, but hey, you will get past that. Always a good time. Keep doing whatcha doing guys. read more

Three of us shared a few apps. Started with the Blue Chips. Great choice. Chips were fresh and crispy and flavor was excellent. This one is a must try. Meatballs were good, parmigiana was a bit sharp for me but the garlic toast was perfect. Mozzarella on the meatballs would have been better but if you like the parm, it's worth a try. For dinner I had the London Broil Steak sandwich. Roast beef was tender, lean and delicious. It came on perfectly toasted sour dough bread. Absolutely worth a try. The bartender was friendly and made a perfect bloody mary. Several flat screens to watch your favorite team in a beqch bar style atmosphere. Although it's on busy Folly Rd, we didn't notice the traffic noise. Soild 4 stars. If this was in a better location, it's a solid 5. read more

Service was great, the atmosphere fun and friendly. Food was very good! I had the pepperoni pizza and my husband built his own burger. We didn't leave hungry, that's for sure! read more

One of the most legit establishments in Charleston. Their nightly specials do not disappointment! Big fan of cheesesteak night. Classic bar with great service and wonderful people serving. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Laidback environment for watching sports and having a drink on the way home from Folly or meeting up with friends. read more

All I have to say is AMAZING PIZZA!!! And they have the tropical redbull !!!!! Wow. Staff was so great too. Thanks everyone!

I saw two giant rats run into the kitchen from the bar and I've never gone back for food since. This is Charleston, I know there are rats around here and they get into things, but seeing it just turned my stomach and I can't bring myself to eat from there ever again. I did recently pop in for drinks though and they were great! Wine Wednesday are so much fun. This place is always popping and has plenty of outdoor space for you to hang out with a group of friends to grab and drink or some good pizza, or even a burger. It does have a dive, dirty feel, but maybe that's part of its charm to some. The staff has always been really friendly and attentive. read more

The bartender, Chris, demonstrated poor customer service and lacked basic professional courtesy, which negatively impacted the overall experience. The food, however, is reasonably good for the price--especially on Thursdays during the burger and fry special. read more

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. read more

Love this place, especially pizza night. Servers are fantastic too! I'd go every week if my body allowed it.

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! read more

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

I loved this place while in charleston. Food is excellent. Really cool staff. Great environment. Fav restaurant. Visit sometime! They have great ciders n beers as well! read more

Love it! A super great local spot, great for pizza, salad and sandwiches. I appreciate the large amount of outdoor space to sit as well. The caesar salad was great, which is huge since I find most pizza places really have terrible salad. Their pizza was wonderful as well. I am definitely coming back to try their philly sandwich! Super casual, tvs to watch your games. Tons of parking as well around the building. read more

Hamburgués and cheesesteak sandwich were good.... Waitress was excellent It was quite loud making communication Very difficult! read more

Been here many times, it is one of our go to bars for good food, nicely poured drinks and s friendly atmosphere. Our favorites are the pizzas, Philly steak and salads which are huge. I love bars that ask you if you want s larger pour for your wine. The baristas have always been friendly and very quick. read more

Do you want a restaurant that has a good sports atmosphere, serves good food, and has friendly staff? LDOB is the place to go! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with many tv screens. I ordered the chicken pot pie which includes a salad. Think the salad was just going to be a mixed green salad, I was surprised the salad was a mixture of greens, apple dices, tomato dices, cucumber and shredded Parmesan cheese with a side of home made Italian dressing. The chicken pot pie was freshly made, piping hot and delicious. The crust was flaky and the filling was perfect filled with lots of chicken and the right amount of sauce to not make the pastry soggy. Definitely a place I will return to when I come back to Charleston read more

This is a very local spot. It is located on James Island. It has a huge outdoor patio and inside seating too. It runs amazing specials three days a week. I love when places run specials and have great customer service. So many restaurants cater to tourists. Not here-half price cheese steak, half price pizza and half price burgers make it a steal! Bud is 1.75 a can. Wednesday is half price wine. The burgers and pizza are delicious. If Valerie didn't count I'd be here every week. Amazing! read more

There is something about local Charleston restaurants. They put together unusual combinations that somehow taste more delicious than you expect. The smaller and more local the better. And this is great. Stopped off for brunch on my way to Folly Beach. Ordered the El Frittata. It is an unusual mixture of pesto, queso, pulled pork and spicy egg. And boy did it taste good. I could not stop eating it. My wife ordered the Pie made of three eggs soft baked, cheese, Roma tomatoes, bacon and more. (See the menu in my photos.) I am not sure what we were expecting. But, we were not expecting a pizza pie. Still, incredibly delicious. Come here. Eat where the tourists don't know to go. read more

I had not been here in a few years until last week. My dad and I had a delicious lunch sitting at the bar. I had a salad and he had a cheeseburger. We were both satisfied and the bartender was great.

This is a great little local restaurant/bar on the island. If offers indoor and outdoor seating and a huge parking lot that wraps around to both sides of the building. The last time I went, it was cold and there was no heated seating outside. There are a couple of long high top tables (family style/shared), large booths, and regular booths, in addition to sitting at the bar inside however. With all of this space, it still doesn't seem like enough seating when the place gets packed. And it gets pretty packed. And often. They offer deals and most of the locals like to take advantage of discounts. On Wednesday night for example, they have half price bottles of wine, and half off pizzas. The pizzas are personal size, but we usually can't eat it all in one sitting. I like to get the margherita and add bacon, or build my own. They have tvs inside and out so if you're trying to catch a game, this might be your spot. Staff are always friendly and helpful. There is only one bathroom for woman and one for men, so occasionally you have to wait. Plan ahead is all I have to say. There always seems to be an upbeat vibe and it can get a little noisy, so if you're looking for quiet, you might want to sit outside. You can also bring your dog if you're sitting outside so that's a win for a lot of people. No matter if you're meeting your best buddy or a huge group of friends, you're bound to have a great time. read more

The food here is fantastic! I loved the roadhouse burger and my husband enjoyed the bistro steak salad. The service was great and what really made it perfect was that there were others here that had their pets with them and the pets were welcomed!!!! I highly recommend and will be back on my next swing thru Charleston. Check this place out y'all, you'll love it. read more

An eclectic and stimulating experience-- What more is there to say about this suburban Charleston neighborhood bar? Safely tucked away from the madness of Folly Beach, this authentic watering hole boasts some of the finest provisions this Hospitality Haven has to offer. Daily specials tempt the palate while steady standbys offer continuous comfort. Pro tip: slither in on a Saturday or Sunday for a peek at one of the Lowcountry's most underrated brunch offerings. read more

We went looking for a Sunday Brunch place recently, and our first choice was closed. Our second choice had a looong wait time. So we wandered while I checked Yelp for another option. We ended up at Lowdown Oven and Bar, and was pleasantly surprised to find a cheerful, not-too-crowded, not-too-loud, just right bar that served a fantastic brunch menu only on Sundays. Our server, Maggie with the beautiful eyes, was marvelous, not too ever-present but right on time with coffee and drink refills, sparkling conversation, and all-round genuinely nice person. The FOOD....omg. So Good! We each got a different item for round table tasting. Not a poor choice among the four of us. Try the frittata or the Monte Cristo. (Chef kiss) I think we have found our new favorite brunch place. read more
