The newest restaurant at Kingston Resorts showcases the best local fare in a comfortable setting. All 40 beers on tap come from the states of North and South Carolina and the entire menu is Carolina born and brewed. Share small plates and appetizers, try fresh seafood, and house-smoked meats while enjoying ocean views. Order a craft beer at the outdoor beer garden and play favorite yard games such as cornhole in the new event space.

Above the restaurant, find a new event space with high ceilings, exposed wood beams, and floor to ceiling retractable windows with ocean views and an upper balcony for outdoor weddings, receptions, and events overlooking the new pool.

Walk-in guests are always welcome!

    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.

    The entrees are in the $25-45 range and ours were served on metal platters with PAPER as a base under your food. The restaurant has an impressive exterior but once you get inside you find many of the seating choices are Picnic tables. The food was subpar and heavily salted/seasoned. The service was friendly but consistently very slow. We were under the impression that it was an upscale establishment given the pricing, but unfortunately it is definitely not. We are not going to recommend to friends.

    When we first arrived we were very surprised of how inviting and beautiful the facility was. Upon entering we were welcomed very friendly and sat promptly. We did have a reservation. We were sat in an area that was close to the door and after a few short minutes we were very uncomfortable with the draft coming in from the front door. As soon as we brought it to our servers attention (Ashland) we were immediately relocated to another table in her section with no fuss. She happily made us comfortable. The food was a holiday menu and did not disappoint. Compliments to the chef. Drinks were amazing, deserts were amazing. Overall, a great experience. We will be returning in the very near future. Thank you Ashland and staff for an amazing night out. God bless! Gary Conklin

    Absolutely amazing Christmas experience. The food was terrific and the after dinner dessert reception upstairs overlooking the ocean was phenomenal. Just started a yearly Christmas tradition!
