South Carolina is home to an endless stream of amazing restaurants, but sometimes it's the lesser-known establishments that can provide an unforgettable dining experience. Steakhouses are already a great place to treat yourself or to celebrate a special occasion, but one that gets commendations through local praise and customer ratings rather than by simply being a popular chain may be worth experiencing.

Cheapism searched the country for the best steakhouses you may not have heard about, excluding chain restaurants to compile a list of the best specialized eatery in each state that has flown under the radar, such as "hole-in-the-wall operations" and "romantic places with dazzling views."

According to the site, the best under-the-radar steakhouse in all of South Carolina is Oak Steakhouse, a Charleston restaurant serving up quality cuts in a gorgeous setting. Oak Steakhouse is located at 17 Broad Street.

Here's what Cheapism had to say about the best under-the-radar restaurant to order a steak in the state:

"Chef Jeremiah Bacon, a Lowcountry native, sources locally from sustainable farms for the menu at Oak Steakhouse, housed in a building that dates back to 1848. Try a carpaccio of beef or pan-seared scallops before the main dish: prime-certified Angus beef, like the aged New York strip and bone-in and boneless rib-eyes. There are more than 200 wines by the bottle. Inside are three floors with five dining areas boasting arched windows, 20-foot ceilings, fireplaces, and 150-year-old heart-pine floors."
