Lowcountry Merrillville provides a comfortable and backyard-like environment to embrace the culture of social gatherings around a seafood boil. Our inspiration originates from childhood memories of family road trips to the gulf coast, and digging into lowcountry style seafood in bags set on picnic tables. An experience we’ve longed to share with our friends. That day has arrived, and we’re excited for the opportunity to share this experience.

Cute interior. The seafood boil was delicious! Drinks were good. It’s a little different because you order your food at the bar and pay in advance (good idea actually) but then you get all your own supplies (silverware, straws, and your own waters). So it was truly a different experience but it was overall very pleasant, laid-back, and a nice change of pace.

Tiff, Nancy, & Veah were all great. They were all three super personable, the service was great. We got there 30 minutes till closing, and they welcomed us no problem. The service was top tear, the seafood boil was phenomenal. Make sure to add extra sausage and potatoes!

We walked in right when they opened at 4 PM, and it didn’t seem like they were quite prepared for guests yet. I actually had to approach a staff member myself to ask for a table for two. Once seated, it took about 10 minutes before someone came by to take our drink order. Considering we were the only guests at the time, I would’ve expected a quicker greeting and service. It made me wonder what things might be like on a busy day.
Other than that, the food came out in good time and tasted great. I got the Cajun seasoning with “very hot” flavor, and it definitely lived up to its name, unlike most places where “hot” really isn’t. The lemonade was definitely worth it too.
One suggestion, assume every guest is new and give a quick rundown on how to order, since you have to place and pay for your order at the register first. It wasn’t an issue for me since I’ve visited other locations, but the guests next to us seemed confused.

Baaabbyyy! This establishment is awesome! When we walked in we saw a live DJ, and the music was on point, from today music to 70’s music for all ages. We were singing to the music all night long.The atmosphere was so relaxing, employees were so friendly and talked us through everything since it was our 1st time there. Lowcountry was a vibe all by itself! We will definitely be back. I literally jumped back on fb to see the other days they would have an event. I can not say enough about this place!!

Came here on a Wednesday night at 7:45pm. This was our first time here, drinks took 45 to come out. They actually forgot it until we reminded them. Drinks came out right with the food. They allowed customers to have their kids run around the whole time with no supervision, very distracting and annoying. The drinks were VERY GOOD. The boils were had were okay, the sauce was extremely thick which made it kinda dry because there was nothing to dip it in..not like most seafood places we’ve been in. Music was amazing. It wasn’t that many people so I just don’t understand what took everything so long? The place has potential, but it’s not looking good. You would think they would make sure to get it right since other restaurants closed down at this location. Also, they make you pay for your food beforehand, which is fine. But I left a tip as I always do, and I wouldn’t have left as big of a tip if I knew the service was terrible. Which is why I dislike the fact that they make you prepay for the boils but I understand why. People have most likely run out on their bill. Ambiance is wonderful as well, just need better and faster service and rules!

I love this place generally but unfortunately I have to say that this is the third time I have eaten here and the second time my husband and I have been forgotten.
Tonight we were sat at 710/7:15 then placed out order and were waiting at about 7:26… we then waited until 8:30 before we finally we able to get a servers attention (my husband had to literally stand up at our booth to get anyone’s attention) when he came over the server was super nice but asked to take our ticket to the back. I also brought up that we had watched three tables get sat receive their food and leave in the time we had been waiting.
We then waited another 15 mins before our boil was a brought to our table but just our boil. We then had to get up and ask about our cornbread, dirty rice and fries.
Like I put in my review the food was good though it was the wrong heat level (wasn’t going to send it back) and this is the second time we have been forgotten. The first time was not this extreme as we were the only ones in the restaurant but they still had to take our ticket to the back that time and have our food made.
I was a server for 5 years and I just feel seeing a table sitting for an hour and never going up to them not once seems just off. Then to sit there not coming back to reassure us or even having a manager apologize or anything just seems super low.
I’m not confident we will be back. I mean paying $150 bucks then waiting an hour with not a single hello or checking in… you can make your own decision.

Ordered takeout. The food was great but waited about 15min longer than the pick up time. Not sure how long they been in business but it looks new from my view of the front while waiting.

My boyfriend and I are currently here celebrating valentine’s day. The atmosphere and music is very nice. We waited at the bar until our table was ready and the bartender Tiffany was awesome. She made our drinks very good and she was nice. The staff here is great. We will be back.
