Charleston’s Oak Steakhouse Marks 20 Fabulous Years!

It’s a big milestone for Oak Steakhouse in the heart of Charleston! Since it opened its doors on January 15, 2005, this beloved eatery has been tantalizing taste buds with its delectable tender steaks, fresh local seafood, and crowd-pleasers like the pan-roasted chicken breast.

A Celebration to Remember

To commemorate two decades of culinary excellence, Oak Steakhouse is hosting a series of delightful events. The festivities kick off with Oak Classics Week from January 24 to January 28, where diners can indulge in nostalgic favorites straight from the early days, like the scrumptious seven-layer chocolate cake and the elegant lobster thermidor. It’s a menu designed to take you on a walk down memory lane while enjoying all the flavors that have made Oak a staple in the community.

A Special Culinary Event

As if that weren’t enough, renowned Chef Jeremiah Bacon, who first joined Oak in 2010, will make a special return on January 29. The event will showcase unique dishes he has expertly crafted, bringing excitement and creativity back to the menu. This is not just any dinner; it promises to be a true culinary adventure!

Leadership and Innovation

Joining Oak Steakhouse just five years after it opened, Steve Palmer stepped in as a partner when the restaurant faced fierce competition on the Charleston peninsula. His vision and leadership have taken Oak to new heights, transforming it into the flagship of the Indigo Road Hospitality Group, a thriving network that now includes other local gems like O-Ku and Indaco.

Menu Magic

Under Palmer’s guidance, the dining experience has dramatically evolved. Today, Oak Steakhouse proudly serves Certified Angus Beef steaks, baked-from-scratch Parker House rolls, luxurious foie gras, and exquisite scallops with truffle aioli. Each dish reflects a commitment to quality and culinary excellence that visitors have come to expect.

Revamped and Ready to Delight

This iconic steakhouse also recently completed an impressive renovation, investing roughly $800,000 to refresh its stunning physical space on Broad Street. The new look is modern yet retains the warm ambiance that has made it popular over the years.

Dedicated Team and Loyal Customers

The secret to Oak Steakhouse’s enduring success lies not just in its culinary fare but in its dedicated team. Long-time staff members, like server Dave Abernathy, contribute years of experience and foster strong connections with diners, making every visit feel special.

A Jewel in Charleston’s Dining Scene

In a city filled with fantastic eateries, Oak Steakhouse stands tall as one of the preeminent steakhouses alongside other local favorites such as Halls Chophouse and Marbled & Fin. Although the Oak concept has expanded to seven other cities, each restaurant maintains its unique flair, focusing on hiring talented chefs rather than simply kitchen managers.

A Commitment to Community

Oak Steakhouse is not just a dining destination; it plays an active role in the Charleston dining scene. The restaurant has adeptly navigated changing economic conditions while consistently prioritizing quality and service, ensuring that loyal customers continue to return.

So as Oak Steakhouse celebrates its 20-year anniversary, patrons can look forward to not just a great meal but a whole week of memorable experiences. Don’t miss out on these celebrations and make sure to taste what has made Oak a beloved part of Charleston for two decades!
