Within the stunning natural beauty of Brookgreen Gardens, Austin’s Harvest Restaurant serves as a respite from the world, serving soups, small plates, green plates (with or without added chicken or shrimp), as well as lunch plates including burgers, sandwiches, fish du jour, penne pasta with shrimp, French dip (Southern style), and much more. Committed to Farm-to-Table principles, Austin’s family of restaurants sources local ingredients whenever possible, including that which is grown in Brookgreen’s “Bertha’s Gardens.”

Keeping it local in Pawleys Island since 2020, inside an historic building, with centuries-old British brick walls, patrons enjoy a hip beach-meets-Colonial vibe with modern touches, including responsible sourcing. “We’re starting with great, locally-sourced food,” said co-owner, general manager and chef, John Dabrowski, “Every item on the menu is as local as possible, starting with grass-fed beef from North Carolina; Geechie Boy grains from Edisto Island; pasta from Charleston; and seafood from Seven Seas in Murrells Inlet. We only use local shrimp, oysters, crab and grouper,” he continued. “We also get some provisions from Lee’s Farmer’s Market.”
