About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Great for craft beers
Lively

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!

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Black Drum offers a vibrant atmosphere with "great food and service." Guests rave about the "amazing" live music and delicious BBQ dishes, especially the Smokehouse Butcher Brick Oven Pizza. While some found service inconsistent, the location's "beautiful" ocean views and inviting decor make it a "wonderful experience" worth revisiting.

We made reservations and arrived a few minutes prior to our time, we were seated right away then proceeded to wait for 20 minutes before anyone came to our table then told us it would be a 60 minute wait for service, never even offered us a water or drink. Very poor management

Your feedback has already been shared with our Leadership team and will be used as a training opportunity to ensure this does not happen again.

Overall the experience was good. Our reservations were “lost” but we were seated quickly. Service could have been better and more attentive. The food was OK, but seasonings could have been better. A lot of the food was bland.

Waiter was very nice but seemed he had too many tables. BBQ was tasty but I think the small platter really can only feed 2 people. Honey butter was excellent. My son said wings & pizza were okay.

Food was just fair. It's not a brewery so why call it a brewery?
