The Red Drum

Had a terrific dinner at the Red Drum. It has an interesting and varied menu. Everything is scratch made and the dishes we had, although mundane, were delicious! Our server, Katie H., was outstanding. Attentive, but not overly so, accommodating, pleasant, and efficient. We started with the chips and salsa. This comes with both a red and a green salsa. Both were so good we took whatever we had left home. They were tasty, tangy, and spicy. I had the wood grilled cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. I asked for it grilled medium well and it was perfect. It comes with lettuce, tomato, and onion. It was as good as the picture looks. My wife had the grilled chicken salad. I didn't have any, but she said it was excellent (and she's very trustworthy). Oh, and I had an Espresso Martini, also del

Great local spot, generous pours in the wine department, all plates were full loaded and massive portions and yet the flavors kept coming! Our server was great, I forgot her name but she did a bang up job. The place was a bit dark lighting design wise but that is my only critique! I highly recommend the pork chop and shashito peppers!

A little delayed in writing, but rolled out to The Red Drum at Christmas time. Cold night made the fire place not just an aesthetic feature but also a welcomed source of warmth in the dining room. Service was highly professional and seamless between waitress, expediter, and bus staff. Shrimp appetizer presented well, cooked through but not tough, and flavor was balanced between the shrimp and the batter, without a need to consider using the sauce which would have dominated. Fried chicken tacos, woodfired chicken breast and short ribs ragu all excellent choices - truly a matter of personal preferences. Having previously worked in F&B, including bartending, I'm not a fan of the cusstom cocktails craze, but my wife and son both ordered one - and one was enough, probably would not orde

We were here for the first time for dinner last night and every part of it was enjoyable. The working fireplace added to the already nice atmosphere, our server was professional and attentive and the food was excellent. The menu has very interesting items-and that is meant as a positive. Both my wife and I enjoyed our entrees (house enchilada, skirt steak). The chili cheddar grit dish was amazing! We will certainly be going back soon! Great job-

Do you ever go out for a meal expecting just fine only to be blown away. Hands down the best dinner we have had in Charleston...and weve been to top rated spots. The Red Drum is a hidden gem. Atmosphere, festive. Servers, amazing. Skirt steak, green beans, creamy mashed potatoes, sundried tomato salad dressing, garlic flatbread, flourless chocolate cake, and donuts, OMG..all fantastic.
