Don't waste your money here, inflated prices for what you get. Food was marginal at best. Crab cakes were tasteless $13 for 2. Had better in Mid-Atlantic region. Go to Ray's Seafood in Rye, you'll pay same prices but far, far superior food. read more

A little too expensive for fried fish. Don't bother getting take out. It'll be garbage when you get home. Seems like a hangout for teenagers. read more

If this restaurant were a state it would be Iowa. Nothing terrible, nothing great, just kind of there. I went to the Epping location and really wanted to be wowed by this place, but went easy so ordered the Haddock basket and a soda-$17-ouch! But this has got be great, right? Quick delivery of food and fish was piping hot. Only concern was this was haddock nuggets, kinda strange, but alright....first bite was ok. Fries were ok, they had some black flakes on them I assume (and hope) was pepper, they were ok. The fish didn't have much flavor and the batter was uneventful but it was, you guessed it, ok. I so wanted there to be something great with this place, but it was just kind of boring and without any character. All in all clean, good service, decent food but pricey for the potions and flavor of what you get. read more

Their seafood is among the freshest around. Sounds cliché, but the service is fast, friendly, efficient.

Absolutely awesome fried Haddock and Scallops... Quite possibly the best fried seafood i've ever had, and i grew up in New England... the Haddock was easily 1 1/2 in thick, flakey, the scallops were huge, perfectly cooked, fries were ok, honestly i'm not there for the fries anyways. Highly recommend, can't wait to go back. read more

I went here about a week ago and I am finally getting to this. My girlfriend and I decided we wanted seafood for lunch and we had heard amazing things about The Beach Plum. When we went up to order, the girl behind the counter (I am not saying names) didn't seem like she was all that interested in taking our order and her attitude was very, f*** off. Then she said our total was over $100 for a small seafood restaurant. We had ordered in and went outside to sit down when we got our food they were in take out containers while everyone else got baskets and much larger portions while we got barely anything. The amount of French fries they gave us was to much for even 2 people to eat 2 heaping containers of French fries and a huge helping of onion rings that we ended up throwing out because there was so much, by the way we ordered smalls of those. All the food was absolutely tastless, the lobster was totally over cooked and dry, had no sauce, no lettuce, no coleslaw (a staple in Maine lobster rolls) no seasoning of any kind and the the only butter you got was on the roll and over toasted. Lets move to the clams, again no flavor the batter was falling off of the clams and I didn't really taste any clam just some soft disgusting booger like substance and again on a bed of cold fries. From the kitchen to outside is about 20 feet I am confused as to how fries and clams were so cold. We paid over $100 and it was a total waste of our money. I am amazed that it has such high reviews where the quality control of the food is lacking. They also neglected to give us our drinks so when I went to grab them I got dirty looks from the employees. We then decided to try the seafood chowder next, the soup was very watery and again it is a chowder. There was no seafood to be found in it it was just potato. I wouldn't say it was flavorless though, it did have good flavor but it had nothing that stood out about it. Next up, the ice cream I got 2 flavors, the cheesecake and blueberry pie. Both were just too busy, meaning the strawberry cheese cake ice cream was mostly strawberry syrup and there wasn't anything cheese cake about it. The blueberry pie was essentially blueberry ice cream, another restaurant in Manchester has a Maine blueberry ice-cream that tasted remarkably similar to it. I don't think the plum ripped off that flavor but, It was disappointing. I will not be returning, considering this place has a 4 star review I am amazed at the food being so mediocre for the price. The food was bland, flavorless, and the care and passion in the food was missing. I usually give every restaurant 2 chances but The Plum will not be getting that second chance. read more

Fish and chips are good. Fried shrimp not so much. A bit pricey for a paper plate restaurant. But consistent taste.

If your looking for a delicious quick food stop I definitely recommend The Beach Plum. Everything between amazing clam strips and French fry dinner to the crunch o Saurus blue ice cream cone and chocolate. I went here with my family on the way home from a day trip to (water county 2/5 DONT recommended) was such a delicious treat, had to make sure I brought some home for my fur babies. read more

Went here since it we were in the area and it's well known since they've been on phantom gourmet. The place is really nice and has picnic style tables and outdoor seating too. I got a foot-long hotdog, which was super cool and it comes with fries. They have 78 different flavors of ice cream and the portion sizes are huge for it. The only disappointment was that I ordered a large size with strawberry, cotton candy, and crunchasaurus, but didn't realize that it was actually the small size until I compared it with my friends as we were leaving. read more

It is what it is. It's OK if you're hungry and you're nearby but otherwise I'd pass. Kids love going (probably more for the ice cream) but there is much better seafood 15 mins east and better clam chowder on the other side of the parking lot at popovers. Enjoy read more

I have only had the lobster roll here and I can not understand how it gets such good ratings. First, the lobster is minced somehow so you have no idea what part of the lobster you are eating and maybe they do this to have a uniform consistency but who knows. Secondly, at the rate they sell lobster rolls, it is pretty obvious that this minced lobster meat concoction has to be prepared well in advance of you arriving to Beach Plum as I definitely could taste a lack of freshness even though it was not terrible. They use more mayonnaise than I prefer too but it was tolerable. I like the option of ordering almost any size lobster roll you want but the pricing is a little on the high side. You can do better without trying that hard. read more

I've been to the Beach Plum in Epping many times. I always order the fried clam basket whenever I am in the area. Looks like I'll have to find another place to get fried clams. If you my 90 pound girlfriend the Beach Plum is just fine. But if you're a full grown person you may want to look elsewhere. For $25 you basically get a pile of french fries with a couple of fried clams on top. What a waste of $25 I could've enjoyed a more satisfying meal for $5 at the McDonald's down the street. And then they offer you $5 off your next meal. Why would I want to come back and waste $20 the next time read more

Best chocolate shake I've ever had! The fried clams are always delicious same with the tuna wraps!! It's a bit pricey but the quality of food is worth the price read more

Ok went back hoping to have better experience than prior and absolutely NOT. The service is awful, food is overpriced and simply put there are MUCH better places. This is like the McDonald's of seafood in NH - if you want greasy overcooked rubber, have at it. But if you are looking for high quality mouth watering tastes with service you feel good about, don't even park here!!!!!! Peteys in Rye - MUCH better! Lobster roll at Tuckaway Tavern on Tuesdays sooooo damn good. Pops in Alton Bay- best seafood, hands down no competition. I won't return! We can leave this place for the tourists that don't know any better, cause no locals that i know go here, when I've brought it up they laugh and call it the Beach Puke hahahaha.... save your money, have a great experience! Go somewhere else!! Their service cares more about their phones, the gossip of their lives, and seem annoyed when you come to the counter - as if your presence is an inconvenience!!!!! read more

I have heard the food is good, and it looked delicious, but I was there today (5/27/20) and from the door- to seeing the people preparing the food in the kitchen, not one employee was wearing a mask, gloves, or any kind of clothing or head coverage. I assume they don't have to. There was little to no social distancing, and I was only one of three people total in the whole vicinity, wearing a mask. If you hate masks and social distancing, this is the place to eat. read more

Went in for ice cream. Ordered a Kiddie size each. It was over $10.00 for 2 Kiddie size ice creams! Now, the size of the serving is huge! Here's the scoop... we wanted something SMALL. I can't imagine what a large looks like, or what the cost is, but come-on folks. Charge a reasonable rate and give reasonable sizes. We ended up throwing out what amounted to one ice cream. What a horrible waste of food. Staff was friendly, ice cream was good, but we hated having to throw food out. read more

Fast good food. Great portions and pleasant atmosphere. Always get the fried fish and fried clams.

After seeing the Lobster Roll and Sea Food Plates on the Phantom Gourmet, my husband, brother in-law and I decided to have dinner at the Beach Plum in Epping. We were highly disappointed with the food. The lobster roll is sold in 5 sizes we purchased the mid-size for $21.99. Well let me tell you it was so small and looked nothing like it was displayed on TV and on the sign out front not even close. As we were eating another patron walked by our table and stated how disappointed he was in the size and the quality of the food. Wondering what the small lobster roll would look like/contain. I would have waiting in line to ask if they made a mistake, but the line was in the parking lot. They gave me so many French fries to mask the little amount of seafood in the platter. So disappointed never again. Very expense for food provided. read more

I'm never disappointed with the food at Beach Plum and my experience yesterday was really great! They're following COVID-19 regulations and have a good amount of outdoor seating. The manager at the Epping, NH location (Austin) was very friendly, helpful and was very involved in running the place. He took orders, brought us our food, washed the tables, talked to customers. It was great! read more

The Beach Plum is just OK ,I expected more than just the average food . The lobster roll was OK, The fish sandwich was OK.

Short and simple..... change your fryolator oil every now and then, and don't cook your fries and onion rings in the same oil as your seafood. Ugh. Frustrating. Fast service helps but the food is just so-so. Fried food should have a nice light non-greasy taste and crunch a bit. We've gotten takeout twice and eaten here once and all three times, same result.... fishy, oily taste to everything and soggy texture. Stick with the North Hampton location for ice cream and maybe the lobster roll.... read more

Usually quite good, tonight soggy seafood and my wifes salad was brown and poorly made. $25 for a seafood combo plate ... on a paper plate. Next time heading for a local full service place. read more

We 3 were there for ice cream! I thought this was a great find!! The staff was friendly and attentive! The ice cream was delish!! The only thing I didn't like was that our 3 orders came out at different times and some kid grabbed each one as it was put on the counter and headed away with it!! If I wasn't standing there, I'm sure he would've started eating it!! There should be a tray and # system!! Jus' Sayin'!! read more

Lobster roll is spot on with very light mayo and a toasted hotdog bun. Fish and chips delicious, burger was massive and peppermint ice cream is divine. Great kids meals. What's holding me back from giving this 5 stars is it was so crowded and not relaxing to wait in line and then try to get a table and then get back up to order ice cream all over again. read more

Went here because we were craving seafood and a lot of places aren't open yet for the spring. The only thing was- I had no idea this was a seafood place. My boyfriend and I would drive by it all the time when we were in the plaza, but didn't know what it was. By the appearance and the name, I mistook it for a tanning salon until I saw their creepy lobster mascot statue at the entrance. Despite the location, the food here is pretty good, and the portions are generous for the price. I recommend the fried clams and the scallops. I enjoyed the seasoned fries. Coleslaw was a little bland though. I did not try the ice cream, but we liked this place and would come back again. Staff was friendly, the place was clean, and there's a lot of space to sit and eat. For an area that's not really near a beach, and on days where you really want some seafood, Beach Plum does the trick. read more

Met friends here for dinner since I've been talking them up of how great of a lobster roll this place has. I've been to North Hampton shop but this was a in the middle spot to meet. I shared the mayo and butter lobster roll with one of the friends. Cut them both in half to see which was better. Very tough decision. Still as good as I remembered. The other friend had the tuna roll which she loved. The best part was the free pint of ice cream after if you spend 50.00. I got the almond joy which was amazing. Yes 8oz lobster roll is the way to go. Best lobster rolls ever still and will be back for more. My friends and I were there from 6:30 till close. Perfect meetup for dinner. Definitely coming back again. Maybe to Portsmouth next time. Thank you so much Beach Plum. You got me hooked. Hooked like a fish haha. read more

Very, Very Disappointing. People were so excited that Beach Plum was coming to town. We found the food to be low quality, didn't taste great and was extortionately priced for a QSR - Over $60 for mediocre fast food with a soda. I'd rather drive to Hampton area and have better seafood at lower cost at Petey's (QSR) or The Old Salt (Casual Dining). Will not be returning. read more

First time at the Beach Plum tonight had heard the lobster rolls were amazing!!! They did not disappoint one of the best lobster rolls I ever had full of fresh lobster meat not over dressed roll toasted perfectly also had clam chowder it was also very good. Highly recommend you won't be disappointed... read more

The seafood here is amazing! Staff is always friendly and very helpful. The seating is open to your choice and hey bring the food out to you after you order. This is a must stop for Seafood and a relaxed atmosphere. read more

We went to there Epping location Nice place, help with a smile, my wife had a clam roll she said it was excellent, i had the fried clams they where real good with the big belly, good amount of food, Food came out quick. 90 degree day There A/C working good We will be back there again. read more

Excellent food. One of us had lobster bisque. Filled with chunks of lobster. Enormous amount of fried clams for the money. Excellent French fries without heavy oily taste. Lobster roll tasty and plentiful. Had one mix up with an ordered item. Quickly fix without question. Sits are mostly picnic tables with benches. Difficult for elderly. But over all looking forward to going again. Went back for a second try. Lobster rolls still very good. Would like a bit of melted butter on it for flavor. Prices have gone up. Second time they forgot the fries with our order but quickly resolved. Ice cream desserts are yummy. Still dislike the wooden benches attached to tables. Not easy for senior citizens or little kids. Large wooden picnic tables take up lots of room smaller tables would seat more. read more

Staff is friendly and helpful and the restaurant is always spotless. Seafood is very good, but expensive. We got three 10 oz lobster rolls with onion rings, and a quart of clam chowder. We drove home about 20 minutes and the chowder was still hot. We heated the onion rings in the oven at 400 for about 5 minutes and they were perfectly crisp and not at all soggy. The lobster rolls were overflowing with perfectly cooked lobster, big chunks of meat, not all mashed up like you see at some restaurants. I could have used a little more mayo, but it was still delicious and the toasted New England style roll was perfect. The chowder was nice and thick, flavorful and delicious. Just what you want from a traditional New England clam chowder. This particular visit was on May 21, 2020 and I was a bit surprised to see that none of the staff were wearing masks, nor were the patrons social distancing in the line. They did however, direct people to wait outside at the tables for their meals, not allowing patrons to sit and eat indoors, which was good to see. I was paying in cash, so went inside to pay and pickup my order. They also offered curbside pickup, which we will do next time. We are repeat customers and find the Beach Plum to be consistently good and we also enjoy their ice cream and shakes. read more

Always look forward to the lobster rolls here.. I guess they have other stuff too, but its always the lobster rolls for me.. Nice big chunks of meat with just a little mayo makes for a great sandwich! read more

Having tried the other 2 Beach Plum locations in North Hampton and Portsmouth several times each, I decided to come try this new location before catching movie at Oneils. I had never tried the fried seafood at the any of the Beach Plums so I ordered the fried scallops. They were good...they didn't blow me away but they definitely satisfied my fried seafood craving. I'll probably stick to solely ordering lobster rolls from Beach Plum because they're AMAZING and they've never disappointed. My Mom wants one this weekend for Mom's Day so I will do another review if it is a better than 3 star visit. I'm hoping so! UPDATE 5/8/16- Mother's Day Much better than my previous visit! Totally sticking to lobster rolls only from now on. The 10 ounce lobster roll is piled high with delicious lobster meat. Some melted butter to drizzle over the top would definitely make it even better. Lobster rolls- 4 stars Fried seafood- 2.5 stars Service- 5 stars (Very very fast) read more

A casual restaurant where you order at the counter. Delicious lobster roles as well as great ice cream products. My wife had a frappe and we all had lobster rolls. Plenty of other sea food choices aimed strictly at the fresh ingredient. read more

Easily the best seafood restaurant around. Even the decor takes you to the beach, the only thing missing is the sand (and the ocean front view). Love this place. Great food at great prices (seafood isn't cheap, good seafood is no different). You get a lot of bang for your buck. The restaurant is charming and spotless. You could practically eat off the floor (but don't, that's gross). The staff is pleasant and really add to the overall experience. If you have room after dinner(I rarely do), they have ice cream, which is also very good. read more

Great for fast food and kiddies are welcome. Chicken fingers with Mustard Honey dip is pretty good. A quick beer and cheap wine option is available read more

Requested to go for my birthday as I posed a recommendation question on Facebook "best lobster roll" and the response for beach plum was too numerous to count. So I had to give it a try. Hands down this was the best lobster roll evah! Added bonus was the wine served with dinner. We were a party of 8 and everyone was very satisfied with what they ordered. read more

Disappointed while stopping in for an ice cream. It was very busy, not one employee behind the counter was wearing a mask. It seemed pretty disorganized. Ice cream was delicious though. Wish the pandemic was taken more seriously by the restaurant and customers as well. Anyone entering the building should be wearing a mask until they get outside. I'll stay home next time. This virus is not going away by the looks of people in public. read more

The food is soooo good. Really really good lobster roll and the best lobster bisque I ever had. But WOW is it expensive. Today had 3, 6 oz lobster rolls, one with upgrade to fries, mozzarella sticks and 4 sodas cost a hundred dollars with tip. That is a bit much. 20$ less and this would be a 5 star review. You can get whole lobster dinners in this area for this price read more
