    Good time at Wednesday night trivia. We liked Black Drum because we were able to talk, listen to some music and still hear the trivia game. Much better ambiance than other options. Pizza was great

    This was our second time here. The Blueberry smoke wings are amazing! We also had the chargrilled oysters which is surprisingly hard to find in the low country. The Roni pizza and Caesar salad were the perfect addition to our meal. The service was great. The guy on guitar was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend to anyone staying near the Kingston Resort area. Heck, we would drive up from Charleston just for the oysters and wings alone.

    My family recently ate at the Black Drum restaurant in Myrtle Beach, SC. The food was excellent, and the wait staff was caring and attentive. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the live musician was outstanding. We are planning to return on our next trip to Myrtle Beach!
