Hi folks! Had to write about a fantastic meal we recently enjoyed at one of Cooper Young’s newest eateries, Sweet Grass. Have you not had a chance to go? Well this spot definitely needs to be on your radar…
Two of us checked it out, and we kicked off the meal with craft beers that were delicious (forgive me, I can’t remember the names… guess that’s a sign of a good night out??).
Side note: When we went, Sweet Grass didn’t have a liquor license that permitted the typical beers– Bud Light, Coors, etc. However, the beers we drank were allowed because they had a higher alcohol content (a plus!). It’s possible that’s changed by now. And don’t worry, there’s a wine list.
Anyway, once we were slightly inebriated, we placed our food order and out came an AWESOME bread basket: jalapeño cornbread, sourdough, and some sort of cheese (perhaps Asiago) and rosemary focaccia.
The bread was totally an indication of how the rest of the meal would play out… it was seamless and quite tasty. Our faves were the oyster stew (brings to mind New England clam chowder, but Carolina style) and the jambalaya that was actually a lot lighter than the typical kind.

Additionally, the deep dish sour cream apple pie is to die for, really, it could be our last meal with the caramel on top reminding us of a praline.

The service was spot-on. We had a terrific server who was prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous, and we happily tipped over 20%, see our thoughts on tipping here!
And quickly, the ambiance and decor had a calming effect with soft colors and sweet grass (what else?) tastefully decorating the interior.
This new Cooper Young spot is totally a HIT in our books. Make sure to visit asap. Oh, and check out the full menu here.
