We chose to sit outside on a beautiful day, and it was the perfect choice. Our table had a great view, and the patio setup was really nice, especially the umbrella for some much-needed shade. Inside was empty, but it was clean, and honestly it made sense because everyone wanted to be outside enjoying the weather. I ordered the shrimp po' boy and it was delicious. The lettuce was fresh and crispy, and the shrimp were not heavily battered, they were hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The sauce was really good too. I'd definitely order it again. Our waiter was very nice. You could tell she was busy and a bit overworked, but she still provided good service and was pleasant throughout. No one at our table had any complaints about their food either. Overall, it was a great experience and a lovely place to enjoy a meal on a nice day. read more

We've been here before but it's been a long time. The menu is bursting with many delicious options and of course we enjoyed some adult beverages to start. Our server was nice but overly busy. The he place was hopping. read more

Plums - Nice way to start our afternoon - Seafood Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

I just had to have their legendary shrimp salad and it fit the bill! It was a generous portion. We sat at the bar and our server had a friendly smile and gave great service. My husband had the delicious Rueben. He had a local IPA and I drank an unoaked Chardonnay (which I was pleased to see on the menu). The setting could not been any prettier on the water. It was too cold for us to sit outside but the view from the bar was nice. read more

We stopped here for a drink on the patio and sandwiches to go. Our food came out quick and they were very generous portions too. We got the BLT (has lots of crispy bacon) and the Turkey and Avocado sandwich. We also ordered a plate of fruit to go. Everything was delicious. Great little place on the water. Our server was attentive and kind. read more

Everything on the adult menu was delicious. I had a kid who ordered PBJ off the kids menu and it was soggy and not good, but if you order REAL food, it'll be good! Suggest a burger off the kids menu.

The soft shell crab was the best I've had in a very long time. Well done. I pair the soft shell crab with a peach vinaigrette salad. Again this was well presented and had great taste. It was a topically busy Friday lunch crowd. Hat off to my server and all the others serving today. read more

Cute little restaurant in the middle of a charming downtown. Was told by friends who used to live here locals love the place. Sat outside with a water/marina view. Service was great and so was quality for the money. And the Banana Cheesecake was one of the best desserts I've ever had. I'm already looking forward to future visits here! read more

Plums - Cheeseburger - Seafood Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

Nice restaurant with five star views of the water. The staff was attentive. The restaurant provides both indoor and outdoor seating. We had a large group and it was tight fitting us all, but they made it work. I ordered a red sangria to drink which was tasty and the blue cheese carmelized onion burger. The burger was cooked exactly how I liked and the fries were nice and crispy. Overall it was a great lunch spot, but I definitely recommend sitting outside! read more

Great venue right at the waterfront park. Service was excellent by Mel. Velvet had the egg salad sandwich. OK. She said it was great. SIL said salad was just OK. Supposed to have peaches which are in season here, but alas no peaches. Jimbob had a shrimp poorboy her said just good. I had the fried shrimp. Fresh but not cleaned properly. Gritty. read more

Plums Restaurant, Downtown Beaufort, SC Warren's Margarita took forever my food was delivered first. Thank god for the food server (didn't catch her name she had short black hair)as she was able to get my margarita. The waitress Hailey was very friendly but not attentive at all. Service was not good it was the first I left a 10% tip. Tried to give the food server money but she wouldn't accept. Fried Shrimp was not good and the batter tasted like bisquick no seasoning at all. The blackened shrimp was better still not seasoned up to par. The salad we requested the peach buttermilk balsamic we didn't get that until the very end of our salad. Also never got the tartare sauce. The fried chicken in the Cobb salad was probably the best we had here. Overall I would say overpriced drinks, horrible service and mediocre food go to another restaurant. @plums.restaurant #beaufortsc #lowcountry #southcarolina #luvbft #lowcountrylife #sc #impossibletraveler #savannahgeorgia #savannahga #downtownbeaufort #usaroadtrip #visitusa #donjulio #tequila #downtownbeaufort #margarita #shrimp #lowcountry read more

Today we stopped by for a late lunch. We checked in with the hostess who was super nice. She told us that the tables outside were on a longer wait than inside but we did not mind so we put our name on the waitlist. Shortly after checking in, our table was ready and we were seated outside. Our server arrived at our table shortly after being seated to take our drink orders. All of us ordered our meals and they arrived at the table very quickly which was awesome. No complaints with the food either. The quality and quantity of the plates were perfect! All of the items we ordered were fresh and delicious. We would definitely come back! read more

Are here three times. Super nice service staff. Food was inconsistent. Example: the way the Cobb salads are presented differs based on who's cooking in back! But the blt was full of bacon and quite tasty. It's a good spot for lunch. read more

This was the best shrimp salad we've had in this area, and their chicken salad is delicious as well. They also have a rosemary gin cocktail that is so refreshing. The view on the back patio is beautiful, and despite some of the reviews, we've always had good service. Maybe they're providing better training lately? read more

This place is a disaster. I never leave yelp reviews bit felt compelled today. We waited an hour for an outside table after being told it was 30 minutes. The host stand uses a paper wait list!!! And after ordering our appetizer took 30 minutes to arrive. read more

Plums is perfectly situated with a waterfront view. The place was packed for Saturday afternoon lunch. We opted for the outdoor seating area, which required a 15-20 minute wait. I ordered the Curried Chicken Salad Plate and my husband got the Shrimp Po-Boy. I thought the Chicken Salad was very flavorful and tasty, the husband was lukewarm on his Po Boy. Our server was wonderful. She was very pleasant and friendly. Overall, Plums is a nice scenic spot for lunch or dinner in Beaufort. read more

Food and service was great! Kim our bartender was fabulous! Love this place! We bring our friends when they come to visit for lunch here!

Such a great spot for lunch in downtown Beaufort. We've been enough times that we've tried a good bit of the menu. We love that they have indoor and outdoor seating! My favorite app is the fried shrimp. Delicious! Favorite lunch item: the Biarritz sandwich. They also have great specials! The bar isn't huge but has everything you could want. The vibe is low key and relaxed. Our service has always been wonderful. Overall Plum's is reliable for a delicious meal. Don't forget to visit their sister restaurants: Hearth (pizza) and Saltus (upscale). read more

I had the opportunity to visit Plums during the lunch hour. The buildings was packed with more locals than tourists. The restaurant is full of dark wood and comfortable seating. They have a great back patio, but because was so hot we stayed inside. Our server was also the bartender and she did a great job of taking care of us. I've traveled to New Orleans and Baton Rouge many times and I've always enjoyed a good shrimp Poboy. I ordered a Poboy and was very impressed. Shrimp was breaded and fried perfectly and the remoulade was fantastic. I'll definitely come here when I'm back in town and vacation I get next year. read more

Unfortunate that it wasn't the best experience. The good ....The view out the back is beautiful. Fried flounder was good and good iced tea The bad ....Service was slow. Tuna salad runny. Didn't feel clean. My salad wasn't fresh and had several bites that tasted of fabuloso cleaner. Sad for the owner. The things that are wrong could be easily fixed. read more

We had been to Plums last year, and it was so good we wanted to go again. Of note was the gumbo - and it was soooo good. We tasted a great rose, some local beer and shrimp salad with dill. Our server was Christie - she was a hoot and made the meal with her comments, we truly appreciated her insights. We ate outside, and it was a bit chilly but all good! read more

Always a great choice for lunch whether sitting outside or inside. Food is always excellent with friendly and prompt service.

DONT EVEN BOTHER HERE. Im never someone to leave a review but this was depressing. Went because it was the only close spot open. Service was super slow. Didn't check on us once. Empty drinks the ENTIRE meal. Had to go to the bar and grab our own condiments because server hadn't checked up. Cramped outdoor seating, can literally feel the heat off the lady next to me. read more

My girlfriends & I had a great time at Plums. We ordered: crispy pork wontons, lamb stroganoff, low country gumbo, I think someone got the dumplings too, and a short rib special to go, for my husband. Everything was fantastic! We arrived right at 5 o'clock when dinner service began, the waitress was fantastic, the view is beautiful on the balcony, and again the food was just so good! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

My family and I are regular customers (almost every Sunday!) My son loves the gumbo! However, on this last Sunday the gumbo was not the usual and though my son digested it, I could not! The gumbo looked as if it was 'mush!' Amy and all the staff watched me when it was brought to my table (unbeknownst to me) because they know that is a regular dish for me! My wife had the shrimp bo boy and had to get another made due to the shrimp only be cooked moderately. Normally, the food is impeccable but this past Sunday, fell from grace! The servers always treat us with love and care; even in spite of the food we still love our servers at Plums. Normally the kitchen has it going on but this time it was an off day....

Had the pleasure of having lunch here recently. Plums has a large menu with many options, and what has to be one of the best outdoor dining spots on the waterfront. The staff is prompt and friendly, and this place overall is quite reliable for a business lunch. read more

We have been there twice visiting Beaufort and enjoyed the food. My wife wants to go there for the peel and eat shrimp and a friend loves the fried shrimp. I have tried a couple of things. This time I tried the gumbo which was excellent. My only wish is that they had a few sides you can order - it made for a lighter lunch and maybe a roll or something would have finished the meal off well. I also did not see any desserts. Service was very good and atmosphere is nice. read more

I was disappointed with my experience at Plums. They did have a sign stating that they were understaffed but they didn't appear to be understaffed. I do not think they were utilizing the employees correctly and giving each a section rather than having them working all over the restaurant. The restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating. I chose indoor but would have had a different waitress had I chosen outdoor. Mine was forgetful and disorganized not just with me but the other tables too. She'd forget to bring the drink orders. I have a feeling she forgot to put my order in as two other tables that arrived much later got their food before me. She also kept disappearing for long stretches of time. I never got a refill after asking for one 30 minutes before I got the check as I could tell she was not attentive enough to know to bring around refills like the other staff were doing for their tables. I didn't think she was ever going to come and take care of the check so luckily I had cash on me. I ordered the shrimp salad BLT sandwich and substituted fries for the chips. The fries were great as was the BLT part but the shrimp salad wasn't as good as I had hoped. Plums wouldn't get a return visit from me. read more

We enjoyed lunch with friends outside on a sunny day overlooking the water. The servers are young and super sweet and checked on us regularly with their enthusiastic and warm personalities. The food was delicious. I had a cob salad, others had turkey/bacon wrap, gumbo, and chicken salad sandwich. Enjoy! It's a great spot. read more
