James Beard chef's acclaimed tavern, finessed pub fare, chic historic home
"Before chef Jason Stanhope exited the kitchen at Lowland, he gave us one of the ultimate gourmet burgers. The Tavern Burger patty is made from Brasstown beef and is about one and a half inches thick. The 80/20 meat mix is topped with a substantial slice of white onion, cheese, and a fancy cognac sauce. Stanhope says he was inspired by the greats — Minetta Tavern, Red Hook, and Peter Luger. Best for: A stunning burger in a stunning historic space." - Erin Perkins
"An acclaimed tavern from the developer that continues to anchor the company’s Charleston F&B offerings; after the nearby oyster bar closed, that space has been repurposed to serve this tavern’s menu." - Erin Perkins
"An ode to Lowcountry cooking housed within a boutique-hotel context and neighboring a historic 19th-century home, featuring dreamy interiors of warm brick, fireplaces, patterned wallpaper, and a mossy mural. Expect refined Southern comforts such as local oysters, farmer cheese biscuits, and a substantial tavern burger, with an emphasis on local ingredients and elevated regional dishes." - Becky Duffett
"Formerly a separate dining room and part of the Pinch hotel on George Street, Lowland is known for its Southern American tavern fare with global influences. Jason Stanhope gained acclaim here, especially for his unique take on dishes like cheeseburgers, celery salad, and crispy quail." - Erin Perkins
"The food at Lowland is meant to be approachable. There’s a burger and biscuits on the menu, but they’re finessed by James Beard Award-winning chef Jason Stanhope. It’s Southern American, but with inspiration from international taverns and izakayas. For example, brandade fritters are meant to be dipped in a comeback sauce, and chicken skewers are sprinkled with popped sorghum furikake. The dining room feels like a fancy British pub with cozy corners for candlelit date nights." - Erin Perkins
