When it comes to communal dining experiences, seafood boils easily rise to the top. After all, they conjure memories of sunny days, picnic tables and spending time with friends and family.

This Friendsgiving, Lowcountry, 1114 N. Water St., is making it easy for folks to gather together, share incredible food and create special holiday memories.

On Thursday, Nov. 21, they will be hosting the ultimate seafood boil featuring a special lobster combo, live music by Charles from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and a festive holiday atmosphere.

The Friendsgiving Lobster Combo will include one 4-ounce lobster tail, one snow crab cluster, a half-pound of shrimp, two pieces of corn, three pieces of potato and two pieces of cornbread ($38).

To encourage the spirit of giving this season, dining guests who bring a non-perishable food item for Hunger Task Force will receive complimentary beignets.
