Very good lobster roll right on the beach! Gets busy in the summer season for sure, but the line moves pretty quick. The lobster rolls are a little on the pricey side. Warning: there are lots of little gnats and mosquitos which can be a bother! Recommend taking it to go if you're bothered by that. read more

Save yourself some grief and stand in line for the ice cream but don't go for the food. It was a huge disappointment. They were out of meatball subs, pecan strawberry feta salad, and soft pretzel. Ended up with 2 BLTs that were so much worse than what you could make at home. Pulled pork sandwich was barely passable. No French fries at this location. For the price of the sandwiches should have included fries not a bag of Wachusett chips. Will not go to any Beach Plum in the future. read more

The Beach Plum has been our ice cream stop for years. Last night we stopped by for our fix, and the Plum didn't disappoint! The service was great. And while the place was super busy we had our order in a very short time. Prices have come up a bit but the portions are still very generous. With my "small" I got two different flavors and two generous scoops. My wife's kiddie would be a small elsewhere. Lobster rolls are still a bit more expensive for me but it's looking like the price might actually have come down a bit. Maybe next time but we'll be back for sure for more ice cream' read more

Food is great, especially the lobster - my fave being the lobster on a salad. Dressings could be upgraded from basic pouches (with chemicals) but I made due ;) My one complaint - the ice cream servings are grossly, irresponsibly oversized. No one person needs a "small" that will easily serve 3 people. I don't see the point. It's wasteful and unhealthy to serve portions this big. Stop the madness. Taking off a star for this. read more

Wow. We stopped here when attending a wedding nearby and had a fantastic time. The lobster is a bit pricy (but when isn't lobster pricy?), but it's wonderfully fresh and light. We got the max amount of lobster on a roll for about 36 dollars and the mix was light on the mayo but big on lobster flavor. I did wish that for that amount of lobster they'd used a slightly bigger bun to get more of the balance, but I can understand the appeal of the piled on lobster roll! I also tasted the chowder and it was good, but a little thin. Made up for it with giant hunks of lobster and, again, I can understand the appeal for someone who wants to really feel like they're getting their money's worth in lobster. Also has a great little set of picnic tables that provide a beautiful view and tons of flavors of ice cream (my one regret was not getting a cone!) read more

This review is based solely on ice cream. I stopped by today to get ice cream, and since it's the off season there was no line. The people working the counter were nice and friendly. I ordered Main Black Bear, but should have asked questions about it, as it was different than other Maine Black Bear flavors I've had. There were chocolate raspberry truffles, and chocolate chunks, but no swirls of raspberry. The ice cream was good, but not great. However the portion was giant. I would definitely go back, but try more samples before ordering. read more

Dropped by here at night almost near closing time due to returning from an event nearby. Overall the place is great, situated right by the water---it seems like a good place to get food and a view. Around 7pm it got dark quite early so I couldn't really enjoy it, maybe next time! Onto food, we got some lobster rolls. crab roll, ft long kraut dog, and ice cream (coffee kahlua brownie). Everything was delicious, prefer the lobster roll over the crab roll, the crab roll did have a few small pieces of shell but hey, that means legit crab is being used right?! Anyways the ice cream was a definite hit with the family, the brownie pieces gave good texture and bite, overall was quite filling. I must admit, their ice cream selection is HUGE. Some flavors I wished had a description online or on the menu board (ie the cookie monster?). Would definitely visit here again if I'm in the area~ read more

Casual spot in North Hampton across the street from the beach. The beach isn't really visible from the tables. Very good selection of rolls, wraps and ice cream. Our friends highly recommended this for the lobster rolls which looked kind of small for the high prices. My tuna roll was too dry and I wish I had tried something else. The ice cream was fine and the and include generous portions of both regular and soft serve ice cream. Limited seating with some but not all tables offering an umbrella for shade. I was pleased with the speed of food preparation. Good but not great. read more

DANGGG DAMN. What is not to love about the beach plum?! Totally groovy. Friendly staff. FRESH lobstah. I'm a lobster roll girl and these are so underrated. You get FRESH lobster with just the right amount of mayo. AND a bag of chips. OKAY beach plum I see you. I love how they give you the option to choose the amount of lobster meat you want in your roll. Note: This location has no fryers but so what it's still awesome. We opted for the 6oz rolls but next time I'm getting a bigger one because I'm worth it and so are you. Snapped a photo for the insta earlier, doesn't do this place the justice is deserves. Thank you plum for being open and doing curb side pickup so we can get our lobster fix. To the review saying shame on staying open, from what we witnessed everyone was practicing social distancing and doing the best that people can do considering the current circumstances. GO. SUPPORT LOCAL. Let yourself live and get the roll. Bravo! read more

I have to admit. The Beach Plum is one of those places we've passed by many times but never actually stopped, until this year, and I'm really glad we did! We were in the middle of a long bike (bicycle) ride along the coast recently, and we stopped here for sustenance along the way. This location is especially nice because it's right across the street from beach parking / bathrooms, so we really only had to stop once for everything! They had a good amount of picnic tables and a few benches for in-site eating, which was also nice. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future rides. Good food, nice location. A solid 4-star in our book! read more

Stopped by to try the local lobster roll. The Beach Plum offers different sizes in oz for their lobster roll. I chose 5 oz one which came with a bag of chips. Fresh lobster, toasty and buttered bun! Not the best lobster roll I have ever had, but a decent quality for the price point ($20+). As for my overall experience, I had a difficult time finding a parking space during lunch time. There were four order windows, so the line and the wait time for my order weren't too long. While waiting, I noticed many people ordered ice cream, so I'll definitely come back for their ice cream next time! read more

So I took my wife out for a lobstah roll. Way too pricey. We spent $25. On one 5oz lobster roll each, then they give you a bag of chips. REALLY! At fries instead of for that price, and Sweet potato fries for the 8oz or 10oz rolls. They are very priced out!! The setting inside was clean, service was great, the fountain drinks were good. Just the lobstah prices are just outrageous. Lobstah everywhere is very expensive! The question is it really worth it. Maybe price gouging could be going on. read more

I know everyone experiences sticker shock when buying anything, but when you get a good return on your investment, it eases the pain. The ice cream dishes are all delicious and more than generous.

If I could give them 10 stars I would! We discovered this stop a couple of years ago while visiting from out of town. We now stop EVERY TIME in town! The lobster rolls are the best I have ever had and they never disappoint! I do always have to ask for a side of lemon to squeeze on top. The chips that come with the lobster roll are a great compliment with just enough saltiness. And the ice cream here is delicious! My favorite is the mint chocolate chip. It has flat chocolate pieces but also bigger chocolate pieces as well. So creamy and delicious! Parking is a challenge here sometimes but, worth the struggle! On this last trip we pulled right up to plenty of parking and walked right up to window! SCORE! read more

We went with the Haddock sandwich (seriously so good and was exactly what I wanted) we also went with their 10oz lobster roll which is honestly the perfect size !!! No frills here and both served with chips and for good measure we had to snag 2 chowders (delicious and hearty) if you're in the area I highly recommend it!!!!!

I wanted to grab a quick cold sandwich and an ice cream but clearly they wanted to get out of there. And I didn't really want their bleach hands making me a sandwich. The scent from the bucket was overwhelming and I was standing outside. I mean, I get it. I want to get out of work too. Just sucked and Yelp asked for my input so here we are. read more

So the price of lobstah has spiked and so a 10 oz lobster roll probably shouldn't cost you $32, but given that, the Beach Plum does it right. So much Lobstah on that beautiful sandwich. Then you get this low class bag of chips, it is perfect. Finally you can walk across the street, sit on the ledge and eat your sandwich while watching the waves come in from the Atlantic Ocean. Can you get a better tourist / NorthEast experience than that? I think not. So don't worry about the price. Just enjoy the food and the wonderful service you will get. Enjoy the ocean and the beautiful Hampton beach. This is a must visit place. read more

History

Established in 1992.

The Beach Plum opened in 1992 at North Hampton state beach as a breakfast and lunch restaurant. The next year it moved just down the street (at it's current location) and became a take out food and ice cream stand. This original location continues to operate seasonally April - October. A second Beach Plum location opened at 2800 Lafayette Road (Route 1) in Portsmouth on St Patrick's Day 2011. The Portsmouth Beach Plum was featured on TV Diner in 2012 and Phantom Gourmet in 2011 which named it as a Great 8 restaurant for both it's famous lobster rolls AND fried clams. The Beach Plum is believed to be the only restaurant in New England to be so honored as 1 of the 8 best for BOTH seafood specialties. In December 2015, another Beach Plum location opened at the Brickyard Square shopping plaza on Route 125 (exit 7 off Rt101) in Epping, NH. This new larger location, built from the ground up, shares the same menu as the Portsmouth Beach Plum and is open daily year round like Portsmouth.

Ice cream was great. Service missed the mark big time…read more We got 4 in total: wild Maine blueberry, Albanian baklava, cow pie, and monkey mess. It was about $17 in total. I left a $20 - still super cheap considering four scoops! Just note, they don't allow samples. 1 of the people in my group did not like monkey mess - she took one bite and asked our hostess if she can get something else immediately. The hostess said she would need to buy another flavor again. That response was surprising, given the fact that this place has been around for 4 generations, shrugs. You'd think it would be more friendly service!

That is a large. Sadly had to throw away half of the first scoop so I could taste the second flavor without bursting. Delicious.

They offer cups, cones, waffle cones, sundaes, banana splits, frappes, floats, ice cream flights, pup cups, and bottled drinks. Order & pickup from the outside window and there are picnic tables with umbrellas in the front and out in the back with a short trail down to the river bank. I finally stopped by Sundaes By The River recently. They were closed over through the 4th holiday, so I came back over the past weekend. There was a steady stream of customers here. I took my time to choose the ice cream flavors (writing it down) for an ice cream flight before walking up and placing my order. I ordered the 5 flavor Ice Cream Flight ($10) with Waffle Chips ($1), including Peanut Butter Caramel Cookie Dough, Coffee Oreo, Key Lime Pie, Kahlua Brownie Crunch, and Playdough. My treat was scooped to order and presented nicely with the abundant waffle chips layed out around the ice cream flight. I enjoyed my ice cream flight and waffle chips out in the back with my black iced coffee I picked up nearby. Other than a few mosquitoes flying around, I was able to enjoy and finish off the entire ice cream flight on a warm, but not too muggy evening.

The staff are always pleasant and serve up your order quickly. At some times they will make a window service line available as well. The shop has a great variety of flavors, and rotates a few seasonal options through. My favorite is Coconut during the summer. In the past it has been a bit of a unicorn flavor here, but this summer I've found it on my past 3 visits! My second choice is the Peanut Butter Fantasy. Prices seem to be on par for premium ice cream. They do accept credit cards as well. There are a few tables inside the shop if you care to sit and enjoy your ice cream inside.

Lots of ice cream options to choose from but I liked that they also have seasonal flavors and so I chose one from that list which was the Graham Central Station and of course the NH Pure Maple Nut. Both were delicious! Inside was a bit old fashioned and dark though so I appreciate the few outdoor seats that they have - Especially since my ice cream started dripping. Location wise, it was a bit busy in Ceres street that day especially since it's close to Moran Towing, restaurants and shops, etc so sometimes it could get a bit crowded and well..not the cleanest looking. Not their fault of course.
