A Lowcountry Backyard is in the Village Exchange at 32 Palmetto Bay Road, and the name is literal: the place to sit is a brick patio under umbrellas and shade sails, with trees overhead and the feel of a backyard cookout. It has been featured on the Travel Channel’s Food Paradise. You will also see it written as Low Country Backyard.

What to Order at A Lowcountry Backyard

Shrimp and grits is the dish reviewers name most, followed by fried green tomatoes, seafood boils, blackened flounder and the catch of the day sandwich. Leave room for dessert: the key lime pie and banana pudding are both praised. Sides run Southern, with collards and mac and cheese. The menu button above opens the menu.

The restaurant is open Monday to Saturday for lunch from 11 to 2 and dinner from 4:30 to 8, and closed on Sunday. It gets busy in season, so lunch or an early dinner is the easiest time to get a patio table, and a few reviewers note that service can be slow when it is full.
