Visitors may be surprised to find such authentic southern flavors this far north, but that’s exactly what awaits at Carolina Lowcountry Kitchen. Sharing a love for fresh seafood and casual South Carolina cuisine, three local restauranteurs decided to bring a taste of southern-style low country dining to Grand Rapids.

After traveling to Charlestown to research and learn all about the southern fare, the restauranteurs put together an authentic low country menu of traditional and heritage dishes sprinkled with a bit of Michigan flare. Customers will find a range of classic dishes featuring choice meats and seafood like fresh and grilled oysters, gumbo, pork chops, and a unique sweet-tea-grilled and butternut-fried variety of chicken. Carolina Lowcountry Kitchen also offers a full-service bar with beer, wine, spirits, craft cocktails, and more.
