Located on Charleston's historic Broad Street, Oak Steakhouse is a classic American steakhouse. A classic array of both wet and dry aged Certified Angus® Beef are featured on the menu. Ingredients are sourced locally and regionally from sustainable farmers and fisherman to accent the steakhouse menu. Items including local oysters on the half-shell, Clammer Dave's caper clams and a daily fresh fish selection depending on the season. Other popular dishes include the whole fried lobster, goat.sheep.cow artisanal cheese plate, wedge of Kurios Farms bibb lettuce salad, the house-made pasta and vegetarian plate. The expansive and impressive wine program at Oak Steakhouse emphasizes big California Cabernets and Old World reds from Italy and Bordeaux with more than 200 wines by the bottle and 20 wines by the glass. The bar attracts a loyal, local following from nearby businesses and neighborhoods with its great cocktails and happy hour. Inside a historic bank building that dates back to 1848, Oak's stately setting features three floors with five distinct dining areas. Arched windows, 20-foot ceilings, original metal work, fireplaces and 150-year-old heart pine floors, offers the perfect setting for enjoying a special evening.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: In a historic bank building from 1848, Oak Steakhouse rises up three storeys of leather booths, exposed brick, and cosy fireplaces. This is the place for seafood towers, Angus steaks, and bold Cabernets. It’s the heart of the Indigo Road group, helmed by James Beard semifinalist restaurateur Steve Palmer. There are now seven locations across southern USA, but none beat the original – Condé Nast Traveler calls it one of the best restaurants in Charleston, while others rank it among the best steakhouses in the country.

They printed a menu with him name on it! It was adorable. I requested a table on the third floor but that wasn’t available so we were sat on the second floor. David was our server. He was amazing. Very attentive, quick, and moved with anticipation. Our reservation was late so we were offered drinks from the bar, which was a really nice touch. The hostess was lovely and helpful as well and carried my drink to our table. We unfortunately ate a huge lunch so didn’t have much room for dinner. But had oysters on the half shell, they were really fresh tasting and very clean. He had a dry aged KC strip, I had a rib eye (not dry aged), and we shared the mashed potatoes. We tasted the steaks side by side and the dry aged really did have a better flavor to it. The only reason I didn’t get the dry aged rib eye is because of the size. I wanted something small. The potatoes were to die for. The steaks came cooked perfectly, which is usually difficult bc I order mine MR and he likes his a true medium but we usually order MW. We did not have dessert. I took over half of my steak home. We had a lovely meal and the service was great. Would definitely recommend and go back. With a larger appetite.
