Late this summer, Mount Pleasant will welcome Frank & Jack’s, a new restaurant and event space featuring ample outdoor space, a live music stage, a walk-up bar, and a standalone ice cream shack.
Sitting on two acres just off Highway 17 on Ira Road, this family-friendly destination will aim to blend Chef Jonathan Rohland’s nostalgic dishes, a building with a modern design, and a large indoor-outdoor dining space.
Frank & Jack’s is the first restaurant concept from High Tide Provisions, a local hospitality company. The goal? To create a space where people come together to make memories. As Stephanie Samuels, Project Leader at High Tide Provisions, shared in a press release, “Frank & Jack’s is more than just a restaurant — it’s a celebration of community.”
Stay tuned — once open, the spot will offer a daily service for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.
