This place was freaking amazing. The vibe is great and service is amazing - shout out David our British waiter super nice guy. We came back to this place two days in a row. I don't even like chicken and waffles but this was the best waffle I've had in my life like a gourmet waffle cabin. The ribs were delicious and I was blown away by everything. Pictures don't do it justice. read more

We came on an off-night, walking into some type of musical bingo. A good surprise! The restaurant was a short walk from our condo and is beautifully decorated. I have the Margarita pizza, and my picky NY taste buds highly approved. The crust was nicely charred but a a little soggy. The basil was appropriately the star of the show. The sugar daddy's fish sandwich was superb. Coleslaw was decent but Mac and Cheese unfortunately had some processed cheese notes. A white cheddar would have been delicious! Our server was excellent, especially considering he took a bit of time to discuss real estate with us. We will be back next time we are in the area! read more

Came in to grab some small plates to share with my sisters. The waiter was slammed and therefore he wasn't as attentive as he could have been. Although it took a while for him to take our order the kitchen staff worked quickly. We ordered the seafood dip, pretzel, and hush puppies. The hush puppies were AMAZING we should have doubled the order, the pretzel was good too, but the seafood dip was a little too fishy. The interior was clean and appealing. They offered table and partial booth options and they also offer outdoor seating. read more

We ordered food from here last night and it was absolutely terrible. This Cesear salad was nearly $30 with shrimp and it was swimming in dressing (see picture). We tried to make up for it by going back tonight and trying it again, but they couldn't seat us despite at least 10 open tables visible. Super disappointing. Needless to say, won't be back!!!! read more

Food was okay; not the best bbq and sides I've had; advertised 5 sauces but only 4 were on the table; when we asked about it there was an up charge; hostess stand disorganized -we were told it would be a 30-40 minute wait which was fine; after 50-55 minutes we checked in and they had forgotten about us. Others walked in, no reservation, and were seated. The older woman with blondish bob was rude - no acknowledgment of our wait or inconvenience although the other hostess pointed out we had been skipped. Service wasn't great- our server also had outside so this made getting things we needed challenging. Overall disappointing and we won't be back- will also not recommend. read more

Good service. The host and waitress were friendly and informative. Food had mixed reactions. Over several days staying in the property I was able to try a variety of items. Cobb salad with salmon. This was the best selection I had. Plentiful toppings. Very tasty. Would get again even though the salmon was dry. Burger. Pretty good. Good quality Brisket and wings. A bit dry and the sauces for the wings weren't great. Wouldn't try again. Drinks were really good. Great flavors and they don't skimp on the pour. Surprisingly, the passed apps and items for a dinner party we attended were great. They were so much better than the items ordered for seated meals during regular hours. I'd go for a party, but probably not for a regular meal. read more

Great ambiance, great service, the brisket is good and the ribs looked dry but were amazing look were deceiving! The sides were ok could use a bit more seasoning, for sides we got the hush puppies, Mac and cheese, backed beans and potato salad. But we went near the end of the day so take it with a gran of salt. Would go back! O read more

Started off not looking good, no hostess, line was building a when the hostess finally appeared, we got cut by two groups and the hostess just went along with it! There was then some confusion about if there was a wait time or not so we just asked if we could sit at the bar and order at the bar and they said fine, so that's what we did. We were just about to walk away but we had walked here from our resort and it was getting late so we stuck it out. Got some menus and went to order at the bar and one of the previous groups that cut us tried to cut in front of me again! This time I wasn't having it and called them out and thankfully the bartender responded to me and took my order. From there everything was uphill. First ordered a Beer Flight (4) for $14 I believe. - New South Dirty Myrtle (7/10) - Legal Remedy Peach on the Pier (6/10) And then asked for their two highest selling and they gave me; - Side Hustle Brewing Hustle Lite (4/10) - Tidal Creek Harmonic Hefeweizen (6/10) Then we ordered the BBQ Platter for 3/6ppl ($77) and it was delicious. We were accidentally given it in a To go Pizza box, but that turned out pretty cool actually. Dishwasher was also out of service so we got paper plates instead of glassware. No big deal. Overall, enjoyed the food, the place is really nice inside and out and fed a family of 4 for about $100 (not including tip). The staff was friendly as well, but they were definitely short handed (it's spring break) but we've been experiencing that all over MB for this week. If the operation was run a little tighter, less confusion in the front, probably closer to 4 stars. read more

I first ended up heading to Black Drum because I wanted to visit a brewery I had never been to. Man, am I glad I did!! When you head down to the brewery, you have to stop at a little guard house to get a placard for your car because they are in a gated area They have a wonderful inside seating area as well as a fully stocked bar. Their menu is wonderful, but the pizzas are what caught my eye. I ordered the honeysuckle pizza because of the truffle oil that is drizzled on top. It was so amazing that I went back the next day and ordered two to take home. The service was great, and the pricing was very fair. The outdoor seating area was very nice. They are connected to a resort, so the pool is directly behind the brewery. But you do have a nice meal of the ocean from the outdoor seating. I would highly recommend going here if you were in the north Myrtle Beach area and are a pizza or beer fan!! read more

The first meal of my vacation started with a perfect plate! The servers were happy to do what they loved. The restaurant was very..very.. clean despite the sheer amount of people there. The wait for our meal wasn't long at all. The staff and management moved with efficiency and enthusiasm. This created the perfect restaurant experience. 10 out of 10 for me! Please Try their Mac and Cheese and Brisket! You will thank me later read more

We went for the special all you can eat Easter Menu and couldn't eat it all! We chose to sit outside with a view over the hotel pool and of the ocean (weather was perfect). Service was great (Avery was our server), we were able to eat at our own pace. She checked in often to make sure we were okay but was not intrusive. We were stuffed and happy, but forgot to take photos of the mains and sides (see menu posted). One small issue, the mains and sides were not as warm as we would have liked, but our bad for not requesting they reheat. We will definitely go back and try the regular menu. read more

Everyone needs to come to this area and check this place out. Very nice area. I will put up a couple of pictures. read more

Good atmosphere and great service. The live entertainment was enjoyable. Our waiter, Josh, took great care of us and recommended the fries covered in brisket and cheese, along with an amazing sauce combo. Fantastic! My wife had the bourbon glazed salmon and I had the bourbon bacon shrimp skewers. Both were delicious and highly recommended. We topped it off with the banana pudding for a great meal. read more

Wow. The brisket here is fantastic. Knocked our socks off. We had both the burger and the sandwich and both were great. Modern restaurant and bar with good lighting and great ambiance. The service was top notch both friendly and professional. Davis was on top of it and did an excellent job. 50 beers on tap, wine, and bourbons. Can't go wrong. read more

Went to Black Drum's first Oktoberfest last evening and it was so much fun. The band was great not too loud not too quiet and played great music. Of course the beer choices are always amazing and the food was delicious. With it being the first one I'm sure there were a few speed bumps, however, all staff were pleasant smiling and I saw many upper level. Staff mingling through the crowd, making sure everything was just right, including the head chef tip and Cesar not sure if his title the bartenders smiled all evening and had great suggestions for the beers.! hope they plan doing more events like this and at least do another Oktoberfest next year. Great job. read more

Terrible service and food. We live in Myrtle Beach and have lot's of restaurant choices. We went there when they first opened but not happy with the food or service. Wanted to give it a second chance and it was actually worse. Over a hundred bucks for two mediocre dinners and a few drinks. We won't be back and will tell our friends not to bother with the Black Drum read more

We sat outside and for this weather it was perfect. Nice ambiance and a little breeze. Our server was great and took good care of us. Gave us plenty of time to enjoy our food. We started with the seafood dip. Served with pizza crust dippers. (Yum) Drinks were good. I had the blood orange old fashion and my forever date had the peach sweet tea. The brisket was very tender and the jalapeños on top gave it a nice bite. The potatoes were definitely a good choice as well. The Carolina gold chicken sandwich was also great. Served with coleslaw on top. Other recommendations are the green beans. They were all gone. The Mac and cheese was good. I'm not a Mac and cheese eater that's why I say good. Others may like it more than I. Follow me for more adventures and reviews. Thanks read more

Wow! Everything was soooo good. I've not ever been a fan of pork skin but their version served up fresh with a pimento cheese dip was definitely a game changer! I loved the convenience of the walk up window and the fact that I could choose a wider variety of food items to enjoy while we were enjoying the day at the water park. Great selection of adult beverages and the wings were meaty and well seasoned/sauced so were ordered them more than once. Service was pleasant even when they were incredibly busy, relatively quick and within the stated time frame. read more

Impromptu stop as we just arrived to N. Myrtle Beach, and it started to sprinkle. We sat outside under the umbrella tables and ordered pizza which was delicious! We opted to add pepperoni to one side for our kiddo. We had great service and the entire staff was very kind and personable. The only thing I would say that was slightly concerning was in the crossword puzzle in the children's menu one of the words was cocktail. All in all - great venue with a wonderful selection for food and beverages. read more

Black Drum - Honeysuckle Pizza with pepperoni added to it. - Bars Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

The food here wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. For those kind of prices, it should be at least good. Plus, it took a while for us to receive our food. I had the ribs, coleslaw and mac n cheese. They gave us 4 bottles of bbq sauce for the table. I've never seen bbq sauce so watery; it was very running with zero thickness. Odd. The outside is nice, but the inside of the place has a food court type vibe. They do have live music though. Also, the staff was friendly. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Black Drum - Bars Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Food was excellent, service was great. Everyone was very friendly. Ambiance was wonderful.

How does one prepare brisket that is both dry and sopping wet? Somehow the fine folks at Black Drum brewing have cracked the code. The brisket was lifeless, tasteless. It was like the cow cursed the meat which sat limply on the plate. Ok, but how was everything else? Also terrible. Shrimp and bacon skewers covered in a thick, sickeningly sweet gloppy mess. Green beans that tasted fresh from the can. Hush puppies that were the shape of little phalluses. The baked beans weren't bad. If you find yourself here, get the baked beans! Though the food was unpleasant, the drinks were quite good. They had a good variety of beers on tap and their cocktails were well prepared. The drinks are the reason I gave this place 2 stars. The servers were friendly and kind but they were severely understaffed. We opted to sit at the bar after waiting an interminable time waiting to be seated. I'm not sure what was happening there but tables were open while 6 groups crowded around the entrance waiting for someone to turn up and seat us. This place has potential, but it needs a major change in management and menu. read more

Oh boy, this food here is NOT GOOD at all. The restaurant is beautiful and is very upscale. It's a great location with a view of the swimming pool and the ocean. From the looks alone, I thought I was going to have a great meal. I was wrong. I ordered the Smokehouse Ribs with fries and mac & cheese. And I got some hush puppies to start with. The hush puppies were just barely OK. Very bland, blah. The ribs were so dry...even though it said it was a dry rub...it was literally like chewing sandpaper. The mac & cheese was the worst I've ever had in my life. Even the smell of it was revolting. I tried two bites and I couldn't have any more. The only thing that was decent was the french fries. Certainly not enough reason to come back here again. They only get a second star because the waitress was very nice and her service was great. If you're looking for good food, I'd skip this restaurant and take the hotel shuttle anywhere else but here. read more

The food was excellent and worth the wait. But there was def a long wait! Other than the wait the service was great & the atmosphere was nice. Outside patio is right next to a lovely pool (not busy or loud this time of year), and the beach just beyond. Loved that the special was fried oysters, not in the regular menu but a lovely surprise and exactly what I wanted. The sauces sure tasted house made, and the coleslaw was really good-sort of a smoky flavor-different and delicious. Several house made salad dressings (woohoo), and the salads were delicious. Another special, grilled cheese and brisket, whaaaaat. Jalapeño corn bread bread (yes bread bread, like a jalapeño corn flavored yeast ish bread), with pimiento cheese and brisket, grilled. Ridiculously rich but so fun. And...hummingbird cake! One of my faves I never can get up north. Very nicely done, with coconut, banana, nuts, and not too cream cheesy frosting. Ok, so how does a place with "brewing" in the name run out of the beer on the menu, that was disappointing. So in its entirety, not perfect but definitely worth it and I recommend. read more

I was staying next door at the embassy suites for a week and are here three different times. It was nice to be able to charge things to my room since it is "on-property". The first time was at an event on the second floor. The space was huge with a very nice setup, but didn't include access to the craft beer that Black Drum is known for. I am not sure if this was the event organizer or just a limitation of the space. They had a build your own salad station, build your own loaded mashed potato station and a brisket carving station. The stations were very clever and fun. The brisket was meh. The next night, I decided to tryout the actual restaurant. It was amazing. Huge beer selection but I had an old fashioned that was very good. I also had the smoked wings with buffalo sauce. My co-worker had the pulled pork sandwich that was ridiculously big. They also have fired pizza which I wanted to try so I stopped in again. It was also great. I wish I could have went a few more times to try their salads and the brisket in the restaurant. The bartenders are also great but it would be nice if they had a whiskey menu. Their selection is very good for a place known for beer (Blantons gold, Blantons, Weller, etc) but with no menu, you end up having to ask how much a pour of each is, or get hit with a surprisingly large bill (I did the latter :)) read more
