Serving lunch only, the restaurant sources the freshest selections of seafood, vegetables and meats in the area and infuses the traditional flavors of the Lowcountry into each dish. Dishes include flounder ceviche, local crab and corn beignets, and of course, pimento cheese, a staple in the Carolinas.

A Family Connection

Timbers Resorts was founded on the idea of providing places for families to spend time together, so it is fitting that Timbers Kiawah is following suit. Founder David Burden and his son, Chris, who serves as Timber Resort’s Managing Director of Development, set out to create a special place on Kiawah Island that could be enjoyed by their family’s future generations as well as those of their owners. The younger Burden, a native South Carolinian and lead developer on the project, curated each of the property’s experiences to capture the spirit of the Lowcountry. Creating a lifestyle that is authentic to the area is a signature of the Timbers brand, but as a local himself, he was passionate about getting the mood and ambiance just right.

“Kiawah Island has always been a special family destination,” says Chris Burden. “From day one, I was personally invested in seeing that this property stays true to the lifestyle of the Lowcountry. Now that the property is open, I look forward to sharing this experience with owners.”
