    The food and service was exemplary! Love having live music to help with the sound going on at the pool area and the views were stunning! I personally am not the biggest BBQ fan with all the sauce so having the pulled pork come out with a dry rub and smoke on it was spot on. We visited last year when they were still building and said we would be back to try the food and we did and it did not disappoint. Anyone that is in the are and looking for amazing food, service, and views needs to stop by Black Drum Brewing!!!

    Our waitress was inefficient. Slow start. Had to wait 10 minutes before she ever showed up at all. Had trouble with the beer menu. Dirty dishes sat for 10 to 15 minutes after we all were done eating. Came back to ask if we wanted anything else. Asked about the checks and seemed annoyed when we said two checks, one per couple. Said “we” never said that when we ordered! The dirty dishes sat all the while. When she finally came back with checks and we had organized and stacked the dirty dishes for her, she said “oh, can I get these out of your way?” Hello. Her name was Jo. Food was very good.

    Fourth time eating here and was really hoping for a better experience. We had the brisket which was a really lean, prime cut of meat. The problem was it was tough and barely warm. All the food was barely warm at best except the hushpuppies which were amazing. Service could have been better but they were really busy. Great beer selection.

    I had the grilled drum. Not a whole lot of flavor especially for the price. I was expecting delicious. Had previously eaten there and had Buffalo chicken pizza. It was awesome but not on the menu now, just a special for that week.

    We didn’t care for the food however we believe it’s more a matter of personal taste than quality on site. We loved the pretzel and mustard and Caesar salad but unfortunately nothing else. Too heavy for us but very nice establishment.

    Website is deceiving. It’s basically a low/mid level resort restaurant. I expected nicer based on the website. Very loud inside, but nicer outside. My brisket was the driest I’ve ever had, but the sides (fries and hush puppies) were very good.

    Our waitress was overwhelmed and there appeared to be no help from management. The drinks came very slowly as she apologized repeatedly. The food was good. We realize staffing is an issue everywhere but to wait 45 minutes for a beer to be delivered isn’t acceptable. We weren’t the only table with issues. We also waited at least 30 minutes for check. Too bad! A potentially a great spot that needs some help.

    Maybe the wrong night to come. They had a musician who was loud and overwhelming, if he played guitar and sang it would have been tolerable but he tried to play the flute and used voice distortion and it was an epic fail! I couldn’t wait to get out which is a shame because the food was good. We had the hot seafood dip it was delicious and my wife had fish and chips that were excellent and I had the prime rib and it was very tasty. Our server may have been new but she struggled keeping up wher tabloand didn’t know the menu well at all. Suggestion, move the live entertainment outside.

    Felt food was mediocre and overpriced. The fish was a nice portion and good but overwhelmed with a too salty sauce. Bbq ribs were dry as if had been overcooked or sitting too long.

    Our first trip to Black Drum Brewing was better than expected! The hostesses we very pleasant , I made a request that involved changing my reservation and they were more than happy to accommodate us! Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful with food descriptions and our dining questions. I did not get his name but he was very big with a beard! The dinner choices we made were delicious and the bbq pork rinds are out of this world!! There was live music Craig Veltri and he was entertaining and also he had a great library of songs for the entire crowd! Next time in Myrtle we will visit again!!!

    What a gem! It was fantastic to be able to sit outside under the umbrella tables. Heather our server was wonderful. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The food was delicious and plentiful. My girlfriend had the pulled pork platter with choices of sides and I had the cobb salad and added the pulled chicken.

    They really do have the perfect setting and views at this restaurant, but unfortunately, the food is really not good. In addition to our food coming out 45 minutes late because they had a chef that called out, the food is really not good. For the prices they are charging nobody should really ever go here. Again, the setting is absolutely spectacular so it’s fine for a drink or a slice of pizza or something like that.

    We had reservations and were greeted quickly and taken care of during the whole meal. Our waitress was very outgoing and did an excellent job. She helped with beer recommendations and was always there for us. One of the chefs walked by us and asked if everything was to our liking. Managers were on the floor and talking to staff and customers. The food was outstanding!!! We got a sampler plate (bbq sampler board) and it was more than we could eat. Brisket, Rubs, Pulled Pork and Chicken were just all perfectly cooked and we loved everything. 4 sauces were great to add on extra flavors. My wife said the Mac and Cheese was the best she's ever had. We were only half into the meal and already talking about what friends and family we can bring here. What a great find!

    After reading the mixed reviews, we tried it anyway. Made reservations for 5:45 and were immediately settled. They are, as everywhere is short staffed. Our waitress Jenna was nothing but a pleasure. She was attentive, asked if we needed refills and was just nice. Manager came by and asked if everything was ok and if we needed anything else. Food was good. Margarita Pizza was a good size and tasty, mussels had a nice portion and good flavor, good burger and the 1/2 chicken was a little small but tasted great and was cooked as read on the menu. Sides weren’t a huge portion, just enough to satisfy ya and also good. All and all was 4+ and I’d go back again.

    We were seated on the patio when a severe pop-up thunderstorm came through. The waitress refused to move us inside. I had to find the hostess who told me she would not move us out of the storm because she had people with reservations (so did I). When I told them I would not pay the check if they did not move us out of the severe thunderstorm, she reluctantly sat us inside.

    The service was very good and the location overlooking the pool and ocean was very pretty. Unfortunately, I found the food very average at best. The pretzel appetizer was the highlight of the dinner. The pretzel was huge, enough for a family of 4. The IPA mustard had little to no flavor and the cheese dip was a little better. I had the brisket sandwich, it was very dry, clearly overcooked and lacked flavor. Even the bun was way over toasted. I also did try a beer while there which was very good.

    Went over for lunch and the introduction of their "new house brew"as a Brew Club Member. Service was excellent with a very attentive waiter. Had the two variations of the chicken sandwich (BBQ & Fried). both were very good as well as the sides. They have a wide selection of local brews. Tried their new 'private brew".(Coastal Haze) Just a bit underwhelming, but everyone has their own perference.I in tastelike mine a bit more hoppy and distinct in taste. Price a bit high, but it is a resort setting with great views of the ocean.

    Four of us went for drinks and food, it was our first visit there. We shared the sampler for 2-4 and all of us felt like we could have stopped eating sooner, there was plenty of food and we enjoyed everything on the platter. Service was great, food served in an appropriate time, server kept our drinks coming and the table kept clean.
