Little Jack’s Tavern
A new old-school steakhouse that’s really all about the burger.
GO HERE: for a burger and a classic cocktail. The green-checkered tablecloths, wooden bar, and boxing photos at this clubby spot practically beg you to get a martini.
ORDER THE: Tavern Burger, in case we didn’t already make that clear. Ignore the alluring steaks section of the menu in favor of the thin four-ounce patty—griddled and served with American cheese and sunchoke relish on an airy sesame bun—which evokes a drive-through burger in the best possible way. (Big eater? They’re small enough that you might want two.)
THE VIBE IS: classic Low Country, with super-friendly Southern-accented waiters.
GETTING IN: is easier here than other casual restaurants in town, many of which don’t accept reservations.
THE DESSERT MENU: includes, no joke, the burger. If you didn’t heed our advice about getting it for dinner, consider this your last warning.
