Bowens Island Restaurant

"The menu at Bowens—a local institution near Folly Beach—couldn't be simpler: fried seafood year-round and fire-roasted oysters when the chill hits the Lowcountry salt marshes."

"Dishes “authentic old fish-house fare” in a “rustic” “Lowcountry dive” setting where the “rave”-worthy, all-you-can-eat oysters are so “fresh” they might be accompanied by “a little mud”." Full review

"Bowen’s is the opposite of fancy, and people love it. I’d suggest arriving early to avoid long lines, then stay late for the incredible sunset views." Full review

"At Bowens, fresh steamed oysters are served by the shovel-full." Full review

"Family-owned since 1946, Bowens Island is renowned for its locally harvested oysters, fried shrimp, Frogmore stew, cold beer and a spectacular view." Full review

"This unpainted wooden shack is one of the South's most venerable seafood dives...cool beer and friendly locals give the place its soul." Full review
