Bowens Island Restaurant

Great atmosphere. Service was okay. I'd go for the ambiance.

Go here everytime I visit folly!

Horrible food, terrible service, ran by a bunch of teenagers. You’d think being right on the water their food would be fresh especially seafood. But the contrary it’s frozen, unseasoned and absolutely disgusting.

This place was so disgusting I have no idea how it is above 4 stars. The food runners sprint past you and need to be chased down in order to receive your food. The $16 crab dip was one scoop of freezing cold fishy dip. The fried oysters were absolutely foul and inedible. We ordered the crab cake platter loud and clear yet due to a “miscommunication” we only received a side of crab cakes - which were burnt and overly fishy tasting. This place is overpriced garbage, could not have gotten out of there fast enough. They would be out of business if it wasn’t so expensive.

Dude named Griffin gave me great service would come back

Best views, food and place to bring a group. Hyperlocal, no thrills dining. It’s been a must visit for me every time i’m in town. Staff is efficient, kitchen is killer and beer is always cold.

Great good and great atmosphere!! Would definitely come back our next trip to Charleston!!!!

Food quality has been much more variable of late. Fried shrimp tonight very poor quality. I know the cant use local shrimp because of supply available, but in the past they have had better quality. I really did not want to eat them. They were absolutely tasteless and tough. I have been coming here for at least 50 years and this is sad. Hopefully they will go back to their old supplier otherwise I won’t be coming.

The restaurant what filthy…the tables, the floor & bottles on the tables, it even smelled dirty. We paid over $70 for a shared seafood plate, 2 drinks & a side of fried oysters. The only thing that was good were the fries. We could not finish the meal…we will not be back!!

They aren’t playing when they say “All You Can Eat Oysters”!!! Oyster Man Austin means BUSINESS, and he kept those oysters COMING! 🦪 $42 each, but you will not sit there waiting for the next round. You are FED 🙂‍↕️

Seafood sampler was more than enough. Views were stunning. Kids had a great time watching the kayaks come and go from the launch.
