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

I'd never been and I know why. It was meh. Staff was abrupt and lifeless. I work with the public too and I certainly don't get to look at the ocean all day. Nice and clean outdoor seating area. Sandwiches were wet and messy. Just sloppy. I know it's a walk up but just a few tweaks could make all the difference. 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

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!!!!! They also have a wide array of ice creams and shakes !!!!!!! 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 you're thinking 'I'm not too hungry, I'll just get the small size', think again and go for the kiddie portion.

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

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.

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.

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.

This was a nice changeup with casual comfort food. Think pizza, burgers and the like. The dining room is nice, open air out front with outside tables, a big bar and a fun surfer/beach theme. The hostess first tried to bring us to the far back corner of the restaurant and I knew we would not like feeling so isolated from the rest of the diners, so we asked if we could sit elsewhere, and she was quite agreeable. I had my eye on their Mai Tai with a honey foam top, which brought me right back to Hawaii where MonkeyPod restaurant does a similar rendition with a lilikoi foam topping. Point Break served a tasty and potent version. We didn't order apps, but my Mac & Cheese was very good. Seemed that everybody was very happy with their food as well. Fried haddock, pulled pork and a nice salad. Our server was great, and quickly handled one mistake (a full dinner was served instead of a sandwich, and so he brought out the fries which came with the sandwich). Perhaps the only real negative is parking, which is tricky at the south end of Hampton Beach. There is plenty of resident parking nearby, but otherwise you might have to walk a bit to get to a paid parking spot or lot. Give them a try! We don't visit this part of the beach often and rarely for dinner, but we might make an exception to try this spot again.

The Parker House rolls were savory warm perfection and a great way to start the meal. My entree, the gnocchi with duck confit was one of the best things I've ever tasted (though very rich--I had to bring half home). And I tasted my dining companion's duck breast an it was also delicious (which they concurred in thinking). The dessert special was a sticky toffee pudding with bananas foster ice cream and peanut butter magic shell and I wish I could eat it every day. The only downsides were that (1) I didn't love the dessert cocktail (which was also absent a garnish), but it could also very well be personal preference and it was only $7, (2) it was freaking freezing in the restaurant. We were seated in a corner that didn't seem to have any baseboard heaters, and even though we weren't far from the fireplace, there was so little insulation on the windows we were all egregiously uncomfortable. The service was great, with the waitress very helpfully answering all our questions and brining each course with perfect timing. The food itself is on the expensive side, though I thought the drinks were normal for a nice restaurant (my other drink, which I enjoyed, was $13). But for the quality of the food, it's hard to complain.

Roy Moore Lobster is a very popular seafood spot in Bearskin Neck, Rockport!…read more It's finally lobsta season & I'm glad we got to stop by. The line is a little long but does move quick. They have tables in the back & to get there, you have to walk through this tiny alley way. Note: not many tables available. Be prepared to possibly share a table with others! Here's what we ordered from our visit: - boiled lobsters 1 1/4 lb (2)-- $18/ea - clam chowder (4)-- $7/ea - smoked salmon --$8 - hot lobster roll-- $32 - stuffed clam (2)--$3/ea - Coca Cola We decided to get the 1lb1/4 boiled lobsters. It was $18/each and we got two of them. Looking back, we probably should've just gotten the 3/$50 deal but it's okay. This comes with melted butter on the side. Lobsters were fresh & easy to eat. No complaints here. My favorite was the clam chowder! It had the perfect consistency, not runny & not too thick. It was also pretty flavorful! The only thing I would've liked to add is a little salt but other than that, very good. I'm a lover of New England Clam Chowder & this was exactly what I was looking for! Now, as for the smoked salmon, I would not order this again. I don't really know how to feel about this to be honest but it just was not my cup of tea. I like baked salmon, broiled salmon, and fried salmon, but I did not like this. Very dry & bland. I personally had the hot lobster roll, which was sautéed in butter. Not bad overall. It was not the best hot lobster roll I've had but it was serviceable. I didn't expect it to be so tiny haha. Seems like lobster rolls in general have shrunk. For the price & the size, it's not bad. I've had $50 lobster rolls that were the same size and less enjoyable, so I guess I can consider this one a win! I think next time, I will opt for a boiled lobster instead. Lastly, the stuffed clams were all right. They were okay; more stuffing than clams. The food also wasn't very hot, just warm cold. Overall, not a bad spot to hit up for some fresh seafood. Prices aren't too bad & the food is definitely fresh!
