Joyland, the burger concept from James Beard Award-winning chef Sean Brock, has closed its Charleston location at 145 Calhoun St. A note posted on the restaurant’s door said its locations in Birmingham, Alabama, and Nashville, Tennessee, remain open.
The restaurant, known for its “crustburger” (pictured), opened in Charleston on Feb. 14, 2025. The opening marked Brock’s return to the area seven years after he cut ties with the Neighborhood Dining Group, which at the time operated Husk, Minero, McCrady’s and McCrady's Tavern, to focus on his Nashville restaurants, including Audrey, Joyland and June.
No reason for the closure has been announced.
