About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
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

Executive chef: Sean Bendig

From the OpenTable editors: In a historic bank building from 1848, Oak Steakhouse rises up three stories of leather booths, exposed brick, and cozy 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 the South, 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.

    Our server, Ryan, was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about wine list and walked us through the menu. The food was absolutely phenomenal - best steak I’ve had in Charleston by a long shot!

    This was a dining experience that can't be beat. The ambience was breathtaking. Our table was on the third floor and we were greeted by an amazing waitstaff, lead by Alex. He was quite knowledgeable about the wines and basically the entire menu with some personal recommendations. This was an Anniversary celebration and it was acknowledged from the minute we stepped through the door. The menu even said Happy Anniversary. We received not only a complimentary glass of bubbly but also a dessert. We started with one Caesar Salad which was big enough to divide in 2. Of course being a steakhouse we had to try the filet and it was melt in your mouth perfection, done exactly as we had requested. We were pleased with the sides that were sharable as they were not too big. Even though they had some great music, all oldies playing, it was not overpowering and did not interfere with our table conversation.

    Great place, the facility was as expected for a white tablecloth experience. Service was great, we were greeted and felt like we were old friends, on our first visit. Everything was served hot. The drinks were very good, and the wine selection was great. Excellent steak with a great selection.

    Food was really good but I’m not sure it was worth the price. The restaurant is beautiful and our service was great. It was an experience but I’m not sure I’ll go again.

    Everything was really salty and the filet wasn’t as tender as expected. Especially for the price. Good service. Nice atmosphere.

    There were certainly a couple of hiccups in our experience last night. First, my cocktail was served with a fly in it and our waiter quickly replaced. Appetizers and salads were delicious. When the entrées came out, one person in our party had ordered a boneless strip medium well. Unfortunately, his steak was cooked very well done.  He asked for it to be replaced, which they did without question. However, he was still eating his steak while we were enjoying our after-dinner coffees.
