    Haddock chowder
    Sarah C.

    I added everything via the app and cannot click "complete order" When I called, I was immediately placed on hold forever. I avoided the red flags and entered the store to put in my order anyways. The chowder was watery with overcooked fish bits. The hot dog was so sad - more like boiled and not grilled. The bun was hard. The crab roll looked like a tuna roll. The spiced was so strong and peppery, I was not able to taste the crab meat.

    Had the fried whole clam basket and it was nice that it came with fries (didn't see them mentioned on the menu). My wife had the fish and chips dinner (included a roll and Cole slaw). My clams were just OK, good that they weren't greasy but didn't seem to have much taste, the tartar sauce was pretty good though. My wife's fried fish was pretty good, she got the onion rings too which were ok but kind of plain. We got coffee which wasn't very hot and seemed like they added sugar even though we wanted it black, also they forgot to come around for refills so we had to go back up to the counter for more. Overall, their TV commercials make it seem much better than it actually was, it was OK but probably not going back.

    The hot dog had one grille mark on it, and it was RAW and COLD.....totally uncooked

    Wow.... This place has some serious problems in the kitchen, and with their very poorly trained management. I ordered clam chowder and a foot long hot dog with fries. First of all I ordered the hot dog with grilled onions. Meredith took my order on the phone and repeated my order and repeated grilled onions. Although the receipt just says onions. Not sure if Meredith forgot to key into register or if she didn't relay the info to the kitchen, or if the kitchen ignored her but either way I got raw onions not cooked. The hot dog had one grille mark on it, and it was RAW and COLD.....totally uncooked. I don't even know where to start with the French fries. Now usually a seafood establishment would have great fries. Lets face it...they should sell a lot of them. These had some kind of coating on them, tasted like freezer burn and were cold.....It's a scary thought that these are what they serve with their seafood. The clam chowder was a mix of haddock and clam chowder. I know this because I have tried their Haddock chowder and its minced fish and I didn't care for it. This clam chowder definitely had the minced haddock in it. Clams are not soft and mushy. And the chowder was barely warm. I called and asked to speak to the manager. I was on hold quite a while which was surprising because when I went to pick up the food there was barely anyone in there. I asked her name and she said Christina. She never said she was sorry and didn't seem to know what to do with the problem. I asked her if she was the manager and she would not answer me. She said she could make another for me to pick up. Well I had already wasted my lunch time getting the food and talking to her so she said she would issue a gift card and leave at the front counter. Horrible, horrible experience......What a dirty trick giving someone fish and clam chowder instead of all clam chowder which cost them more. I have had their clam chowder one other time and what I got today was NOT clam chowder. I've also tried their haddock chowder and it's a bowl of mush. Way, way too much money for crappy food. Honestly, if they can't even handle how to cook a hot dog what does that say for the rest of their food?....Never again. And change those really gross french fries. Bob L the owner on here should be more apologetic and address negative experiences instead of promoting his 78 flavors of ice cream. His comment on Mr T's review was strange......"Mr. T, we are sorry that we disappointed you. We hope you spoke to a manager while you were there so we could fix anything for you. Typically people are very happy with our food". Really??? The manager I spoke to Christina had no idea what to do and never said she was sorry. It would have been a waste of time to make a scene and get nowhere. Bob L stats that typically people are very happy??? 2 and a half stars doesn't say that at all. Apparently Bob's L standards are pretty low. I would never recommend eating at this place to anyone.

    8 ounce lobster roll
    Jennifer I.

    I went here to grab take out with my family for Mother's Day. We arrived just after 11:30 and it was already slammed! I can't say that I was surprised. I didn't have to wait since I placed my order via phone. Things ordered: Two 8 ounce lobster rolls One haddock sandwich One bowl of clam chowder One bowl of haddock chowder Kids hot dog and a kids Mac n cheese The lobster roll, while plentiful, lacked flavor. It had virtually no mayonnaise, no celery (not all rolls have celery), NOTHING. It was just cold lobster meat scooped into a griddled roll. There are WAY better places to get a lobster roll. The haddock sandwich I didn't sample but my brother just said it was just ok. Since we didn't eat it fresh from the fryer it understandably got a little soggy. The "bowls" of chowder were a JOKE!!! It was more like the size of a cup. I'd hate to see what the cup looks like, perhaps the size of a small can of cat food lol. NOT JOKING. At least they tasted decent. The kids Mac and cheese was f*cking pathetic. It was Kraft Mac and cheese for crying out loud. I would never suggest anyone order that unless it's fresh, and even then they can't make their own? Please. I wouldn't rush back.

    Fried whole clam basket with onion rings
    Thomas O.

    Visited on June 7th, 2021, mid-afternoon. Ordered the clam (bellies) basket with onion rings & a lemonade, to me that's a basic lunch order & it was 6 cents short of 30 bucks. The clams were good & about the amount you would expect in a basket. I didn't really like the onion rings, the coating was bland & falling off the very thick rings. Don't think I would go out of my way to order them again. Food was not greasy, oil was clean. Would like to have gotten a Lime Rickey but they use either sprite or ginger ale, pass. The restaurant was clean but it is an echo chamber, don't expect to have a quiet conversation when there's a crowd. Staff all very pleasant & helpful but they don't seem too happy when they are not interacting with customers.

    6oz on left, 8oz on right. Bisque, clam chowder and onion rings

    Food and ambiance were great! Best lobster roll and chunky lobster bisque around. Nice area and outdoor seating. Plenty of food options!

    Foot Long Hotdog with relish, mustard and onions washed down with a 16oz Sam Seasonal!

    We've never eaten at the Beach Plum but have frequented their Ice Cream Stand in N.Hampton quite a few times! We both had a craving for a Hotdog and when I saw that they had a foot long version on their menu we both decided to to give the Beach Plum in Salem, which is located in the relatively new Tuscan Village, a try! It was a Wednesday afternoon around 2p and the place wasn't very busy. You order your food at a counter and to the right are some beer taps. We didn't expect a room full of Picknick Tables and thought that it would be like a regular restaurant with booth's and tables. No biggie, we were there for the dog's! The foot long Hotdogs come with either fries or coleslaw, we opted for the fries and just got regular dogs with mustard and relish and a couple of Sam Seasonal beers which came in a good sized plastic cup which was at least 16 ounces! When the waitress brought us our food order, the Hotdogs were in the center of the plate surrounded by a generous portion of fries and also on the tray was some plasticware, they must go through a ton of plastic waste because we didn't even see a recycling bin for the plastic cups! Ok, now to the food review! 1 through 5 Stars. Fries....4 Stars...a little salty but they were plentiful and tasty and enough for a Doggy Bag. Sam Seasonal 16oz.....5 Stars. Can't go wrong with a Sam Seasonal! Foot Long Hotdogs.....2 Stars....If you like "Skinny" this is the dog for you! Kinda reminded me of the Wendy's "Where's the Beef" catchphrase. :) Even though the dogs were grilled they came to the table just lukewarm and didn't taste like much, boring and flavorless ! Was hoping that they'd be close in taste to the Quarter Pound plus Hotdogs at Costco maybe they should buy their Hotdogs from Costco instead! :) Staff.....5 Stars, everyone was friendly! Oh BTW....The Beach Plum has quite and extensive Menu, so if we decide to go there again, we won't be getting the very "Skinny" boring and flavor lacking Foot long Hotdog!

    Went for lunch ordered. Both of us ordered a clam basket. 2 beverages, $58. The clams did not even taste like seafood. They were so over cooked , they could have been friend Cheerios and they wouldn't have tasted different. They over cooked the clams and instead of many clams there were a lot of little fried pieces. we both agreed we would not return here again. Not the same caliber that we had last time we ate at I believe it was the Hampton Rte 1 location. Attaching pics to show what the clams looked I went to tell a woman of our experience and she said he daughter had been and also said they were not impressed and would not be back. Food was not worth the price. Said the lobster roll was tasteless.

    Our favorites....Clam straps, fries, froyo and clam chowder.
    Jennifer G.

    So very happy a new location closer to home is finally open Salem NH. A little pricey, but worth every bite and the portions of food are large. We ended our craving adventure with a shake and a frozen yogurt. Honestly, absolutely delicious and recommend this location. *So much so... we ordered more food to go!

    Haddock dinner and lobster roll .

    I predicted that you would close in my last and only review of this establishment. Bad food, service and no ambiance.
