    I dont know what happened or maybe this is the expected quality in the winter but it was the worst lobster roll I've ever had. Dry meat, over cooked. Fishy...so strange..and for $38 I would expect much bettee. I had to order chicken fingers because I couldn't eat the roll.

    Amazing food , but their ice cream is showstopper !! 78 flavors and let me tell you their sundaes can feed a family of 4 !! Love them

    I drive up to Hampton not for the beach, but to grab a giant lobster roll from The Beach Plum! The portion is huge and honestly reasonably priced compared to Boston. The ice cream is also very generous - I got a small and it was definitely more than enough for two people. You can't beat the views of the ocean and summer sunsets here. It's a little hard to find parking as it's apart of the beach, but definitely worth it when you can find a spot.

    We enjoyed the huge menu selection here! The portions are for ice cream and burger are massive. The lobster claws here are delicious, and the seasonings are less bland than most places you get food up here in New England. We eventually got their lobster rolls Connecticut style since they seem to be the only ones who do it with the warm butter but it does cost a pretty penny. Service is standard. You order, sit down, and someone will bring your food with your order number. Seating is spacious and clean.

    $18.99 side order of Haddock
    Brendan B.

    We ordered take out from here 6/3/2024. I got the Haddock pint side order for $18.99. When I got home and opened it, I was amazed and how much of a rip off this was. Our kids got the Haddock basket and that was so minuscule, I had to give the kids most of my Haddock nuggets side to fill their bellies. Mind you they're 3 and 6 years old. To say that I won't be going back to any of The Beach Plum locations is an understatement. I've been eating seafood in New England my entire life and have never been to a seafood restaurant that served up such a minuscule amount of main course, than this place. My wife ordered the lobster roll and it didn't even fill the regular sized hot dog bun. Do yourself a favor, keep driving down 101 and find the real seafood restaurants along the seacoast that will serve you what you're paying for.

    I was quite disappointed. Clams were ok. Prices were high and I was so uncomfortable in the seating that I couldn't wait to leave!

    How much ice cream is in a small cone? It's huge -- too huge!

    About two big scoops it's definitely big but always delicious! They do sell kiddies tho if you don't have a big appetite.

I had the caprese chicken sandwich, which had grilled pesto chicken, mozzarella, and roasted tomatoes served on a focaccia bun. I subbed a side salad, which was a bit overdressed, for the default French fries. The sandwich was huge! So huge that it was difficult to eat as a handheld item. It tasted pretty good, though. Our server was really nice and was attentive despite it being fairly busy!

    The best part of my visit was the seafood chowder, but every other dish was mediocre, and the…read moreservice was terribly slow. The seafood chowder was flavorful and full of chunks of seafood. The salmon bites were over saturated in sauce so much so that the panko was soggy, the pan seared scallops were decent but I found the bacon jam to be too sweet paired with the scallops. We could not flag down our waiter any of the times we needed her and every time we asked someone else for help they'd leave and not come back. When it started raining and we needed to move indoors she was gone for so long she was surprised when she returned and we had already had been helped inside by another staff member. We ended the meal when she said she'd come back with water only to disappear and we ended up asking another waitress for the check, and she redirected it back to our waitress, who finally came back with no water. The restaurant was by no means full so I'm not sure what the large gaps in service was, and at one point my friend noticed the waitresses chatting in the kitchen while we were craning our necks. I'd only come back to order the seafood chowder as the rest of the dishes weren't good enough to make up for this.

    If there were a Hall of Fame for small fried seafood joints that never miss, Al's Seafood would…read morealready have a plaque, a laminated menu, and a line out the door - they already have a chalk menu, and during the summer, a wait for a table so we're almost there! This place is absurdly consistent. The portions are always generous, the quality is never caught lacking, and the dining room is spotless in that reassuring someone actually cares way. The staff (and it's always the same people that are there, which is cool in itself that there's no noticeable turnover in the staff) is friendly without being fake about it... efficient, pleasant, and clearly proud of what they're serving from fryers behind the soda fountains. Let's talk food, because wow. That's why you're reading this. The fried shrimp are so good that my wife (who does not like seafood) actively loves them. That alone should be printed on the menu. I've only known her to eat fried shrimp when the breading weighs more than the shrimp itself (which is not the case here). The tartar sauce is the best in North America. It's my crack. If I drank it through a straw (a bit too thick), that straw would be called a crack pipe. I literally smile writing about this tartar sauce. I will not be taking questions at this time. The "regular" fries are exactly what fries should be: crisp, fluffy, salty perfection. And the onion rings? Peak "fried seafood place" onion rings... golden, crunchy, and unapologetically doing their job, not tempura style, but old school Weathervane "fried seafood style" onion rings that you can sub in instead of fries on plates/boats for a small upcharge. Even the bathrooms are clean, which sounds like a throwaway detail until you realize how rare that is and how much it says about the place. We love it so much that we'll happily drive 40 minutes each way to eat there - in winter - because that's what you do when a place never lets you down. And despite the sign saying Al's Seafood, we tell everyone it's called "Big Al's Seafood" Not because that's the name, but because that's the energy this place has... It's not trendy. It's not trying to reinvent anything. It's just awesome, every single time and honestly, that's harder to pull off than any gimmick. Signing off... keep it up, Big Al.

    Very, very surprised…read more I'm pretty particular when it comes to lobster because it's so easy to overcook, so I'm usually skeptical about ordering a lobster roll. My boyfriend and I shared the Connecticut-style lobster roll. While it wasn't overflowing with lobster especially for $29.99 it was cooked perfectly. That's not something I say often, so that's a huge compliment. I've had lobster rolls in Maine for about the same price that were much more generously filled, but the quality of the lobster here was excellent. My biggest critique would be the bun. I think this would be even better on a non-toasted bun or with a different style of roll altogether. The bun took away from what was otherwise a fantastic lobster roll. I also ordered the clam chowder. The flavor was really good, and it tasted homemade and fresh. My only complaint is that I hardly found any clams or if they were there, they were very small and blended into the soup. It also had a slight cheesy flavor that I wasn't expecting. I'd just recommend adding more clams because the base itself was delicious. The French fries were decent, and you could tell they were cooked in clean oil, which I always appreciate. The coleslaw, however, was watery and just wasn't for me. As for the atmosphere, it has a fun, old-school seafood shack vibe. You order outside, grab your food, then bring it inside to eat, and the staff clears your table afterward, which was a nice touch. The only downside was that the air conditioning appeared to be leaking in the middle of the dining room. Water dripped onto my boyfriend and even onto one of the waitresses. I'm sure it was just a maintenance issue, but it wasn't the most pleasant dining experience and did make me question how sanitary it was. Overall, I left pleasantly surprised. Despite a few areas that could be improved, the perfectly cooked Connecticut-style lobster roll is absolutely something I'd order again, and that's saying a lot coming from someone who's very picky about lobster.

They serve various size of lobsters as well as cook them for you. However they do not provide place to eat or utensils so they function more as a market than a restaurant. They have sort of a parking lot where you can park. There are few works on the back hanging around and 2 younger staff that take care of orders. Lobster has quite few size options and some explanations for terms they use. We weren't sure what to get but figure we wanted larger size lobsters. SLX which is the largest ones were $14 per pound. They can also let you pick them live as well but we chose 2 lb ones. They charge $1.5 to boil but it's a-lot of work to boil properly so it's worth it. We waited about 20-25minutes or so and they also chilled it so that we can take it home to eat. Luckily we had ice box with some ice packs so it kept the lobster fresh until getting home. Once we got home we opened the bag to eat the lobster. It's a huge lobster with large claws. We got a large bowl and separate plate to eat. It was a massive task to crack the claws as one of the claw was huge and very tough. We ended up using a hammer and dull knife to crack them open. The meat was tender and sweet. One of the best maine lobster we had. Overall the place provides fresh maine lobster for good price. Only issue is that they don't serve it so you will need to plan to take it home and have tools to crack them open. They also only take cash. If i were to come back i would give them a call a head of time to have the lobster prepared to go and pick them up which seems to be what other people were doing.
