If there are some restaurants in South Carolina that locals would prefer to keep all to themselves, then this is one of them. This hidden gem and local’s favorite is located on the shores of picturesque Lake Bowen, a small spattering of a lake on a plateau as the terrain rises to meet the Appalachian mountains near the North Carolina border.

It’s here, virtually in the middle of nowhere, the locals like to get their big city food fix at a neighborhood restaurant called Bowen’s Landing.

And once you get a peek at the food, you’ll want to go also! The eatery specializes in seafood and steaks, and their presentation couldn’t be any finer!

From their pasta choices to their hand-cut steaks (and even the prettiest country fried steak we’ve ever seen), Bowen’s Landing takes eating out in the country to a new level.

It can be difficult to find good seafood so far from the coast, but not here. From Lowcountry shrimp and grits to salmon and sushi, Bowen’s Landing has a little of everything to choose from — and it’s all delish.
