Food, beer, made to order meals and did I mention beer?! Good prices and excellent selection of products. Best part? Grab a beer fresh from the tap and walk around and do your grocery shopping. Finally, grocery shopping can be fun!In all seriousness, Lowe’s has a great selection of food, their prices are good and their produce, seafood and meats are fresh and affordable. They have several meal stations that serve everything from subs, fried chicken, sushi and pizza.Great place to go for a nice shopping experience without breaking the bank!

This grocery store is fascinating. Prepared foods are exceptional, fresh produce, meats, beverages etc...so many reasons to shop here including great prices. I hope they continue to grow and expand their locations and rewards.

Mary, at the coffee/beer bar, Im pregnant and I didnt know what I wanted, I just wanted a Frappuccino, she made the best coffee I have ever had before! She is super nice and I will be back to see her and ask her for another magical coffee drink🥰

Excellent variety of goods and desserts...I love getting the dinners or having one of their sandwiches prepared in front of me...The coffee bar is a winner too...

This was my first visit to this store, but I hope it will not be my last. The store was clean, orderly, well-stocked, and beautiful inside. They had an awesome selection, truly friendly and professional and staff, and priced competitively.

There is a lot of good deals here, starting with Saturdays 50% off 32 Oz growlers, also the meats and seafood are very fresh. You can also enjoy your growler as you walk around the store. The sandwich deli also had a pretty good reuben.

Lowe’s Foods is hands down the greatest grocery store, ever. Lots of great bakery and deli items. The smoked section is really good too. Best part is the brewery and being able to drink a cold beer while you grocery shop 🙌🏻 store associates are friendly and helpful. I look forward to going here weekly

First store Ive every been to that you can drink your beer and shop in at the same time. The fresh produce is worth checking out. Fresh flowers. I would go if you never been.

One of my fave neighborhood places to shop, everything is ALWAYS FRESH. Beautiful produce, premade foods & baked goods. Something for everyone with increasing vegan options weekly. Bulk whole bean coffee is some of the best in town. Pleasant shopping experience & friendly staff.

Outstanding selection of food drinks!!Deli bakery etc... wow never knew that Columbia had a Lowe’s and this place is top notch. The customer service at 11:45 pm outstanding super near clean etc..

I love this store. Never crowded and always find everything I need.

I had a great experience with my flower replacement. Vince handled the matter very professionally.

We love this Lowes, the team there is helpful, and kind. Their employee (Savannah ) has an attitude that is exuberant and even though she chooses to continue with mask wearing due to being in public field, you always know when she smiles! Just a super store to go back in.

My son and I shopped here a few weeks ago,(separate orders).Both our opinions were the same. The store was very clean and friendly personnel. The produce area carried a huge selection of items, if you eat that sort of stuff. Maneuvering around that area was a tight squeeze! Most importantly the prices were outrageous if you’re a budget shopper like myself. Selections for regular items was lacking, per my son you only had one flavor of pop tarts! Laundry area you had one selection of spray & wash type items, and you were out of that. The expiration dates on the fresh meats were only 1-2 days out from the “use by” date, as well as the Pet brand milk had less than a week.We’re both a repeat purchaser (buy mostly the same items every time). We’re both single households and usually shop every 2 weeks. Average totals @ $ 130.00, here my bill was $ 195.00. My son, usually @ $ 175.00, here $ 225.00, and still didn’t get what we needed as you either didn’t carry it, or were out. It’s a shame we don’t have any decent grocery chains around. They’re either ghetto with rotten products (Food Lion), or you pay out your ting-yang.(Public’s & Lowe’s).PS: To those who rated their experience based on the fact of shopping with a beer, have a problem!

I love Lowes food but cake department never have my cake right but management makes it right. I shop here as often as I can although its not close to my house.

Great customer service. They have tomahawk steaks......wow! There are a variety of things to choose from. There is a bar that serves coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages. There is a bakery, a deli, and even an area where they smoke and age their own meat. They have meals with all they necessary ingredients prepared for you, you only have to cook them...this includes stone ground grits with shrimp and bacon. They have fresh infused water and an herb garden where you can cut your own herbs. Its phenomenal!!!

I visited this for the first a couple months ago in July 2021. A great place to shop!

This is a very very nice grocery store. It reminds me of a cross between Whole Foods and Trader Joes. It had beautiful produce, a great wine selection and a wonderful meat department. The store is very clean and organized. The staff is friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our shopping experience and look forward to our return.

Great place to have a beer while you shop.

Great selection, friendly staff. Smokehouse has awesome prepared bbq. And you can sip beer while shopping!

What a great place to get groceries, have a beer, eat a sandwich, and meet nice people.

Very nice store. They have fresh vegestable bread. Great toast or grilled cheese sandwich.. Great addition to Forest Acres area.

Best grocery store in Columbia!! Amazing selection and the store brand is great. Besides the fact that you can drink while you shop, they also have a liquor store when you walk in with great prices. Always clean and well stocked. Cant beat it!!

This was my first time going to Lowes Food and there were different station and the staff was very nice and the store was very clean. Will be back again.

Lowes always gets a good rating for good service and its always nice and clean good job Liz

Great place to shop.good sub sandwiches.

First and last time I shop here. Delivery sent wrong items, left items out (for which I was still charged, screwed up the receipt, and it took 40 minutes to get it straightened out. Thats a bit much when ordering exactly 14 items.

They have everything at this grocery store love it

3 Stars: Prices are higher than other locations but they have select items in stock. The muffins and croissants in the bakery section are amazing - red velvet, strawberry, and blueberry with the icing. The chicken section was very disappointing - unseasoned chicken, bland macaroni, and the potato wedges were horrible. Upon breaking one open, I could tell they were twice cooked! I played over my food and wont try that section again.May 2021 Update: the food at the smokehouse section was incredible! The bbq sandwich (on sale bogo free) and smoked wings were so delicious. We found some great items on sale to try as well.

Clean, organized, sooooo many different options on what you may be looking for and a very helpful staff! Highly recommended for the choices, the discounts and the all natural things to get! Especially healthy options!!

We arrived late but the store had all kinds of foods we could buy. The store and bathrooms were very clean. We will be back.

First time in Lowes Grocery. Had a difficult time finding items. Things that a easy to find in other grocery stores were hard to find. Examble; both bacon and sandwich meat were on a side aisle parallel to can goods. And the frozen fish sticks only offered one kind and were also on a separate aisle away from product and regular meat & cheese items. The process were ridiculous! Twice the price as Wal-Mart for same item. I dont plan on going back. Only plus was they were open later than every other grocery store on Forrest Drive.

Great food selections, a lot of wine to pick from, craft beers, tons of desserts, and really food staff. Decent sales at times.

Love Lowes for the outside stuff. The smokehouse, bakery, deli. Love, love the chicken pot pie. The regular part of the grocery store is no better or worse than any other store price and selection wise.

Very nice grocery store. Everything appears very clean and they have a good meat and seafood department. However prices are higher than other grocery stores and they seem to often have supply issues that bigger chains dont have

First time shopping there, WOW!! Such a beautiful store, so many exciting selections, and staff are very attentive.

Beautiful clean store. Loving the bakery,wine,and BBQ depts. He loves the seafood section. Looking forward to trying the coffee shop as well.

They actually have a salad bar. I was impressed. You need to visit this store.

Very good service! I really enjoyed the experience, the staff were friendly and the food selection was good.

Awesome grocery store

Beautiful store but lacks on center store essential items. Prices are a bit high. Nice if you want to get beer or get custom stuff but not ideal for quick in/out trips.

Always clean and friendly, however only one cashier lane open with no self checkouts open. Most days.

Would recommend shopping at the store. Nice layout, quality food options, friendly staff. I would not recommend paying for the curbside service - far too many mistakes over the course of my membership for me to choose to renew it (given the wrong grocery order, items are not correct, or the items just don’t make it into your car and you have to drive back to collect them).

This is a great grocery store! You can have a glass of wine or a beer WHILE SHOPPING! Excellent produce, impressive variety of cheeses. 10%off 6 bottles of wine. Best sushi in town (will custom make rolls). Smoked meat station & bakery are very good. Seafood counter is decent (wish there was a bigger variety of fresh fish).

I always loved those food you got coffee shop theres a couple of beers if you drink and the freshest vegetables baby all of the other places on vegetables in the Farmers Market good job Lowes

Best grocery store Ive dumped many grocery stores for here but the cashiers can be rude sometimes

It has fast check out and lots of local products. The produce is always fresh. I little higher in price. There sushi is so good and lots of beer choices.

Always clean and you can always find what you need and when the other supermarkets dont have it

Very nice and pleasant atmosphere. I was there for work.

First time there and great experience and food was awesome! Several buffets to choose from.

I enjoy going here to pick up favorites I cant find else like huge stuffed mushrooms, and Enlightened bars.

I am a die-hard Publix guy, but this place definitely has earned some of my business. Every Monday when I’m off from work, I’ll head to the bakery to pick up something for me and my daughter... I just wish sometimes they were consistent with having those things baked because it’s frustrating to drive out of the way to get there and they’re out of what I’m looking for.

Highly recommended. Great choices, great selections, high quality of products. Service is also above the rim.

The grocery store is great but curbside pick up is a mess! A solid 90% of the time, I’ve received the wrong order or a huge chunk of my order is missing. They always say they’ll refund me for the missing items but that’s never actually happened. If you shop yourself, it’s a positive experience but, definitely save your money on the curbside pickup membership.

Clean, well organized store. Delightful barista makes a delicious latte. She is my favorite part of early morning grocery shopping at Lowes.

Lowes is an interesting store. Id class them on the more expensive range of grocery stores in this area, and the choices that theyve made are fascinating. The main thing theyre missing is a good seafood counter. Almost (if not all) of seafood they offer is frozen. But perks include a great meat counter and the ability to drink draft beer or fresh coffee while shopping with a cart thats got a built-in drink holder.

Just a really, really nice place to shop. Clean, great stuff, nice staff, etc.

Sponsored an outdoor concert in parking lot which was ideal. Should happen more often!Otherwise typical neat clean Lowes.

Great shopping place with everything you need! The Best Deli food and the choices are endless!

I love shopping here! Especially those wonderul, addictive fruit tarts.

This was my first time going to the Lowes on Forest Drive. Looking for a new grocery store since Bi-lo closed. Very nice, clean and friendly employees. Will definitely be back.

Upscale, clean grocery store - my favorite in Forest Acres.Think Publix, but with a better selection of products.

Great store, beautifully set up, amazing assortment of options. But, yall need a panini press in your deli. Cant sell paninis if ya dont have a panini press. Girl asked if I wanted my panini toasted, took a lot just to not say well its a panini.. So..

Store was very clean and the customer service was great

Love the food here especially the smoke house. The always have good deals and the meat is seasoned well.

The Vegetables/fruit are always fresh. Nice workers and very clean store. They have bomb cake and cupcakes. Lots of options for everyone in store. The store brand of food is very high quality and cheap.

I love shopping at Lowe’s, their prices are decent and they have the absolute best produce! The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because every time I get a crowler of beer made at the bar- it’s never sealed properly and I’ve lost all my carbonation by the time I get home. :( I suggest running your crowler machine more than once per can or making sure they’re working properly.

Very good selection, but prices are higher than Publix or, of course, Wally World.

Clean, Fresh, and reasonably priced. Loved the wing bar for the super bowl. Giving Trader Joes and Publix serious competition.

Loved it the store is very clean ans people are very friendly and they are very helpful

Love it! It is my favorite grocery store in the City of Columbia SC!

I love the deli area...fresh baked breads, deli made items... check out is a pleasure

Awesome service great selection with a variety. Love the store wish they could build in Northeast Columbia

Place is clean and lots of choices to choose from. Staff Id very friendly and helpful.

Prices are kind of high but they do offer some variety you cant find at other stores.

Very clean and enjoyed shopping there. Deli was awesome!

Cant find to many different brands.

Helpful variety of groceries for gluten free family.

I only use the online shopping but the people are amazing!

Wish they would open one on garners best grocery shopping experience Ive ever had.

Spotless store, the employees were very nice. The food in Lowes is top notch

Whatever youre looking for, its there. Items are displayed well.

The customer service here is 1st rate. Store is exceptionally clean and have great quality produce/meats. Large selection of items for Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy Free, etc. as well. Great place to shop for everyone!

Well stocked and great selections.

More expensive than Publix, and the young lady who rang up my groceries didnt respond when I asked if her register was open but only half nodded, didnt say word during the transaction, and didnt respond when I told her thank you.. Usually Lowes does better than this.I am editing this a week later because a friend said he went to Lowes on a slow Thursday morning and was promptly ignored in the bakery and had difficulties in the deli as well. He said he too would be returning to Publix.

Great place to shop fresh produce

Everything you need and more.. great smoke meat section with daily specials. Large deli and bakery. And get this, a beer den where you can have a glass while you shop or sit and enjoy!

Very good 👍

Love th his place

Best place to get an amazing SUB!! The wheat bread is the best and EVERYTHING IS SUPER FRESH!!Ive been to many sub shops but absolutely NOTHING is better then SAMMYS in Lowes food

Clean and friendly store but way overpriced. Probably need to change their name… 🤪

A superb grocery shopping experience, I was asked by multiple employees if I needed assistance and the cashier was extremely friendly! The bar has a nice selection of local brews for in store enjoyment or take home growlers. Plenty of selection!

Great place to shop and eat and drink food so so fresh!!!!

Love their Deli foods and is very nice and clean in there

I can run in and take care several needs grocery, lunch, dinner food prep etc.!

I have made 3 trips to the Lowes in Forest Acres. In the first 2 instances I had to return with the receipt for reimbursement because items had rung up higher than advertised by the item. This third time I watched closely and again, items were being rung up higher than marked. I brought this to the cashiers attention, who also happens to be the manager that helped me before, and it took another associate walking through the store to ensure I was indeed correct and telling the truth. They had to mark those items down. They were polite, but how many customers are not checking whats being rung up? There are so many grocery shopping choices in Forest Acres. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

My favorite Columbia grocery store! Typical Lowes Foods set up with a great prepared-food section. Employees are friendly and accommodating.

Clean with a wife variety of products and limited name brand. Overall a regal Lowes, comparatively

Loooove this grocery store! Very clean and they sell locally made items.

Best sushi around! I work next to whole foods but will drive the 10 minutes to come here! Everyone was helpful and super friendly! I love this store lol
