About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Inspired by the energy of South by Southwest and the hospitality of the Deep South, Red Drum Restaurant & Bar blends bold Texas flavors with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Dine in our vaulted dining room, lively pub, spacious bar, or enjoy the patio—perfect for game day, casual evenings, or cooler nights by the heater.
Join us for Happy Hour, weekdays from 4–6 PM, featuring a selection of drinks and small bites.
Dinner highlights include local fried shrimp, hand-cut chips and salsa, chicken quesadillas, market fish of the day, wood-grilled chicken with garlic cream, and a thick-cut pork chop finished with a rustic pan sauce and grilled peach slaw.

2026

From the OpenTable editors: Red Drum from co-owner Charlie Chance has been doing something singular in Mount Pleasant for over a decade: marrying Lowcountry coastal cooking with chef Ben Berryhill's Texas roots. The wood grill does a lot of the heavy lifting here, turning out chicken breast and salmon that carry real smoke and char. The tequila sour-inspired Mourning Dove cocktail is a worthy companion, alongside a wine list that skews toward boutique growers. The space moves easily between a lively pub, a full dining room, and a patio that draws a crowd for game days and easy weeknight dinners alike.

Executive chef: Ben Berryhill

    I’ve been eating at Red Drum for nearly 20 years and it is always delicious and the staff always enhances the experience. NOTE: We sat on the patio as it does get quite loud inside.

    The food was very good. We ordered an appetizer and one glass of wine prior to our meal. The cost for the appetizer was as much as our meal. I would have to think about spending that much ($180) again for two people. Service and atmosphere were good.

    Between several children literally running around with little to no supervision, with terrible acoustics and tables jammed too closely together the noise level was not “energetic” per your survey, it was downright uncomfortable. The food was served too quickly with courses overlapping and a distinct sense of eat and leave so we can turn the table. The coup de grace was the undisclosed 3.5% surcharge mysteriously added to the check, not for using a credit card, but added to all checks to “help cover fluctuating costs”. Pardon me for being a stickler, but if you offer me an item for sale on a menu that says $10, don’t change the price when it comes time to pay.

    Food was great but pricey. We ate in the bar area which was crowded and loud, but that was our bad for not knowing what a popular spot this is.
