    The seafood was delicious. The craft beers were tasty. The combo platter for two was more than enough. Flounder was cooked perfectly. I love shrimp !

    This was our second time here. The Blueberry smoke wings are amazing! We also had the chargrilled oysters which is surprisingly hard to find in the low country. The Roni pizza and Caesar salad were the perfect addition to our meal. The service was great. The guy on guitar was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend to anyone staying near the Kingston Resort area. Heck, we would drive up from Charleston just for the oysters and wings alone.

    Our waiter was very polite and patient. I had fish & Chips, and my wife had the bourbon glazed Salmon. Food was done to perfection. Atmosphere was nice, I believe in warmer months it would be nicer sitting out side which is open to ocean view. We plan on going back.

    I am so glad I found Black Drum Brewery and will be back! The food and service were amazing. They had a local performer Saturday evening who was very talented. Our server Josh was always checking in on our table seeing how everything was and if we needed anything else. The beer selections were awesome. We did a couple of flights, and all the beers were great. Can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer and can enjoy the outside.

    Great place to enjoy good BBQ and drinks with friends. Nice ocean side setting in Kingston Resort. Staff was friendly and helpful, our waiter was great. A bit expensive but not out of line with similar restaurants in Myrtle Beach. This was our 4th visit to Black Drum around, and it didn’t disappoint.
