It’s hard not to talk about food when thinking about the best of Charleston. From dive bars to five stars, the Holy City is a mighty force in all things food. A city can’t have a nationally recognized food scene without phenomenal steakhouses. Thankfully, there is no shortage of melt-in-your-mouth steaks in Charleston and these five steakhouses will prove it.
Oak Steakhouse has it all. Sitting on historic Broad Street with four dining areas spanning three floors, the ambiance complements the food, making Oak the perfect dining experience worth every penny.
Even though it opened recently in 2015, 5Church has no shortage of good press. Gaining attention from big names like Conde Nast Traveler, USA Today, and Eater, 5Church has mastered its own unique 60-second steak. Searing the steak on one side to reach a perfect medium-rare temperature, 5Church serves you a steak you won’t forget.
Hall’s Chophouse has been loved by so many that it has now expanded into four locations across the state. Located on Upper King, the delicious steak is paired with hospitality that is unmatched by any other restaurant. As soon as the host or hostess greets you, you’ll know your steak is being prepared by people who want to serve you the best.
Attached to the Market Pavilion Hotel on East Bay Street is Grill 225, a steakhouse that exclusively serves prime steaks aged for a minimum of 42 days. The time they put into developing the perfect steak shows and will pair great with one of their many delicious sides.
Burwell’s Stonefire Grill calls themselves one of the most “forward-thinking” steakhouses in America and we agree! Getting to know the farmers that provide their food, Burwell’s assures quality ingredients and quality cuts of meat. Their signature hot rock appetizer with a 700-degree lava rock allows you to sizzle your steak to perfection right at your table!
