    The food was amazing and the service was even better. I was greeted as soon as I came in and sat down immediately. My waitress was super sweet and gave me great suggestions on what I should try. I would definitely come back and try something else.

    Fish sandwich with Mac n cheese and coleslaw

    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!

    BAVARIAN-STYLE PRETZEL, HUSH PUPPIES, BRICK OVEN SEAFOOD DIP

    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.

    The vibe of Black Drum is inviting from the moment you walk in the door. Our server Delaney was on point and helpful with recommendations and walking us through the menu Food come out in a very reasonable time frame and every bite was delicious 10/10!

    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.

    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.

    We were at Black Drum to enjoy live music and Oktoberfest. My sister and I shared the fish and chips. Clearly we were too excited to take a photo when the food arrived. It was delish!! All of the homemade dips were yummy. The patio was great with live music and an awesome vibe and great beer selection!! They were very busy but the staff were great. Highly recommend...

    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!!

    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!!!!

    The atmosphere and setup of this place is ideal. A great spot to spend a day hanging out, enjoying the pool, sunshine, and a lengthy beer list and ok BBQ. The food was just ok. Service was great and the facility is clean and beautiful.

    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

    Easter Menu.
    Anne G.

    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.

We ordered two plates, and tried both the fried livers and the fried gizzards, and both were very solid with good seasoning and good crisp. We also thought that the mashed potatoes, candied yams, and the rice & gravy were all very abundant and seasoned very well. The peach cobbler was also a hit with the right amount of consistency and sweentess. The beignets were a pleasant surprise because we had never tried them with honey and after trying it that way, we could be down with it. On the other hand, the shrimp with grits had extremely plain grits and extremely salty shrimp, and mixing them altogether definitely made the dish tasted more balanced but it didn't change the fact that the shrimp was still salty and the grits didn't catch too much of the salt on the shrimp. The fried okra had soggy outer shell. The gumbo was a bit watery and didn't have enough roux, and the rice included was soggy which seemed like it was out for a while and heated up. Aside from food, it was worth noting that we were initially placed on the list and were told that we'd receive a text upon a table ready, and unfortunately we never received one, despite seeing people that came in later getting tables. After we went back inside 30 minutes later to see what happened, they didn't give us an explanation, but managed to get us the next table. This anecdote made us confused when we first sat down, but we decided to no longer worry about what happened and was in a mood ready to dine.

When she was done I asked her if she could get me a chicken breast. My joint pain and back pain had been extreme this week. Using the walker was even painful. Carie said, "Absolutely !" She returned quickly and with a smile. The staff is so kind. The manager Tommy came by our table to see how we were enjoying our meal. I let him know the salad bar was perfect.

Chef Bo was not only personable (he came out to personally ask how I wanted my salmon cooked) but he was absolutely on point with the recommendation. Wings cooked to perfection. Pot pie seasoned like a pro. Salmon...let's just say I ate until I felt the top button on my jeans start giving me the side eye. Burgers were also delicious. ...then as if that hadn't been enough for the 5 stars, here comes Chef Bo co-signing the dern hummingbird cheesecake. We took 3 slices to go. Nuff said. Listen...if you thoroughly appreciate good food...just get there. TODAY.

It consisted of 2 deep fried soft shell crabs, 3 deep fried jumbo (and yes, they were actually jumbo) shrimp on top of a bed of various deep fried vegetables. Although the entire dish was deep-fried, it didn't feel heavy or greasy. And the batter chef Bo made mad it all sooooo flavorful! I ordered the granddaddy's grilled cheese. It was a very different take on grilled cheese, but also absolutely delightful!! I believe you can't go wrong with bacon and fig jam on sourdough bread. And for my side, I wanted something a little different so I ordered the sweet potato grits. Do yourself a favor and try them! They are rich and creamy and sweet but not too sweet... Perfect! As delicious as all that was, the showstopper was dessert. We had the lemon blueberry cake. There are not enough words to say how delicious this was! Dense, sweet, but also tar from the fresh lemon with fresh blueberries baked in with a perfect layer of cream cheese icing. I wanted to order another one just to take home. And if the food wasn't enough to keep us coming back. Our service was absolutely amazing. Rachel was our server and she was a rockstar!!! She knew the menu very well! She made amazing recommendations and was attentive and friendly and all-around wonderful! As an added bonus, we were seated in the perfect corner booth for date night. And they had one of their regular live music performers there which added just the right touch. We can't wait to go back!

She was pleasant and patient, considering we had three teenagers at the table with one of them ordering like 5-6 sodas (to my dismay and horror lmao). She joked she should get one of our kids a pitcher. We had the fried chicken, the fried pork chop, chicken dumplings, and the BBQ ribs. Our favorite were the ribs. The sides were a hit. We got the fried okra, the mashed potatoes, the mac and cheese, green beans and fries. For the additional side it is $2.99 a person. Honestly, I felt the sides were so tasty & better than some of the meat dishes. The fried pork chop and the chicken and dumplings were not a hit at our table, but we did devour the fried chicken and get an extra order of ribs. We had no idea that this was a bottomless refill, but I don't know how anyone orders more than one extra entree because the portions are huge and quite filling. We were lucky to get a table close to the window so we could have a nice view. All of the workers were courteous & kind. If you are super hungry & have a larger party, you have to come here at least once, while visiting Broadway at the Beach. They also brought out biscuits to our table while waiting for our food, and those are hefty and warm. Hooray for another good Southern eatery during our visit to Myrtle Beach.
