If you’re visiting Summerville, SC, Bluffton, SC or Savannah, GA these are places I recommend visiting 😌 Mainly restaurant recs because I’m a SC born & raised foodie, but I do have some other activities sprinkled in!

Summerville, SC

When thinking of the Lowcountry, many people think Charleston & Beaufort. Summerville is a gem right outside of Charleston 💎 I have only been to Summerville to visit family and eat so here’s my recs!

To be honest- I’ve only gone here for drinks and I would do it again! One of their margaritas has a limit of 2 per person & I see why 😂 10/10 highly recommend!

Many people go to steakhouses for steak (obviously), but not me! I’m not big on steak but Hall’s has some of the BEST salmon (you can order it medium well!?!) and lobster mac and cheese I’ve ever had. I do hear good things about the steak though, may...

This restaurant is newer to the area but a must try for sure!! After a visit to the Tanger Outlets, PLEASE make sure you stop here for dinner before hitting the road. I had their Crik’ Fries (seafood and crab dip topped fries) and the Geechee Surf &a...

In my opinion this is some good BBQ, especially for a chain restaurant. The portions are great sizes and food tastes good. Start things off with some of their little cheese biscuits ( I can eat 12 😂😂). The brisket is perfect!! The smoked turkey and...

This is either a local favorite or a tourist hub. Make reservations ahead of time!! They are always packed lol but for good reason. The clam chowder, crab cake entree, and stuffed shrimp entree are all great choices that I can vouch for! I also recom...

Savannah, GA

Savannah is always a good time!! 🥳 Here’s a few must do’s from my perspective. And yes, Savannah is considered a part of the Lowcountry even though it’s in GA! 😉

A fun activity to do as a date, on a girls trip, etc. I saw this place on TikTok and had to try it. We both designed hats with our own sense of style and the Mess Hall staff ironed the patches on for us. The hats were ready to wear immediately! They’...

I’ve been here twice and got the same thing 😆 the shrimp and grits are soooo good and unique. The grits are fried grit cakes but they break down to a creamy delectable dish. The mimosas are a good addition to your meal too 😉 They also have a live...

This. Is. A. GEM!! My date and I pigged out 🤣 We had the barbecue shrimp and Cajun gumbo as appetizers. Both were mouth watering! For our meals, we had the crawfish etoufee, pasta jambalaya, and a side of red beans and rice (had to try it 😂). Y’all...

Get your girlfriends together for a good time! I recommend going in September for potentially cooler weather but either way it’s a 10/10. Drinks, good vibes, sun, and water 🥳

Taking a stroll through the city market? Stop by this pizza place for a bite to eat! The pizza slices are HUGE so unless you’re starving you might only need one 😂 Warning: the to go window gets busy busy so have some patience!!
