    Nice buffet on sunday

    Just stopped by on the way to the Bay.The buffet was good. It was very crowded and very busy so service was slow. I

    Disappointing

    Over the past 40 years we have driven many times from Richmond to Tappahannock to eat fresh seafood at Lowery's. Last week, I took my mother and wife there to eat on Wednesday night. The dining room was only half full, so seating and service...More

    Dinner for out of state friends

    This is a rather well known upscale resteraunt on a well traveled US 17 highway. Their specialty is catered toward fresh seafood dishes although their menu covers all food choices. Food is excellent and service is very good. Prices are average to high. Overall a...More

    Good food bad service

    Food always good but service rarely so. All the seafood dishes and fried chicken are particularly good.

    DISAPPOINTING!

    Portions were embarrassingly small... one hushpuppy and two small "pieces" of flounder, and the flounder was rubbery. My wife's crab cake was almost as small as the one hush puppy on her plate. Service poor to at times nonexistent. Goodbye to a memory... would never...More

    We are still talking about the food!

    We were in the area for a weekend in November 2016. A friend had recommended Lowery's. We got the buffet. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. I only have 1 complaint. The desserts were not very tasty. Prepackaged pies were a let down...More

    Very nice Seafood Restaurant

    This was our second visit. Very good meal (local caught flounder). We sat outside this time. Good menu selections with reasonable prices.

    Mandatory stop for lunch

    Excellent Everything. Seafood exceptionally well prepared. Fried oysters a definite draw. Corn and crab fritters very nicely done. Hushpuppies are the best. Quick service. Abundant seating with a welcoming presence. DO NOT DRIVE BY. No need to look elsewhere.

    Very underwhelming

    I really wanted to like this place but it wasn't meant to be. The crab meat and shrimp were watery, over cooked, and had no seasoning or spice at all. The fries listed on the menu coming with it as a side was strange (typically...More
