The Beach Plum

The Beach Plum Has been a delightful treat of fried seafood. It's a pleasure to go treat ourselves to the best seafood platter. One of our favorite places is closed enough to be a pleasant night out for dinner. I can say enough about the clean place and great food. So, much food enough for two days. Of course a ton of fries. But look at the size of the of the clams, scallops, and shrimp and a big piece of haddock. The tartar sauce is full of flavor.

This place used to be my second go to place!! But my last meal There was not impressive at all.!! this picture is the so-called fisherman‘s platter!! so just another heads up they put salt and pepper all over the french fries

This salad with strawberry and pecans and a scoop of lobster on top was amazing. My spouse was so mad it made his lobster roll look tiny.

Super fast service, clean and organized, good portion size. Food was awesome. I got lobster bisque, my sister got the lobster fish chowder, both were delicious. Fried haddock nugget wrap, fried clams strips, lobster roll, all cooked well. Ice cream sundae, s'mores frappe we're good, the reason for only 4 stars is because of the frappe. They were a bit watery, I've had better.

Stopped in for a late lunch. Ordered the big catch haddock sandwich with fries. It sure lives up to its name!! The fish was hanging out of the bun. There were enough fries for two people!! Large hand cut crispy and pillowy inside and very hot. The haddock was perfectly cooked with a nice crunchy batter tender flaky and moist fish. The picnic tables just don’t seem quite right at this location. Prices seem kind of high but then everything is!! Enjoy! Cheers.

Bad, bad, the Beach Plum was not “on” today! It was awful! I blame this type of thing on the Management. We ordered fried shrimp and scallops. When the plate came, I said to the server “this isn’t our food. We ordered shrimp and scallops”. He argued with me and said it was. I said “no, this is clams and scallops”. He disagreed. So I opened up a clam and its giant black belly, and then he said “oh ya” and took our plate and table number and left us…for a LONG time. Long enough that I went up to the desk to let someone know. You’d think they’d try and do something on the fly to get your order right out to you. NOPE. We watched order after order going out. Everyone except ours. So finally it came and the server apologized. Cool, I thought we were set. Then another girl came over and said “Either the cashier heard you incorrectly or you told her the wrong order”. Nope! I would never order clams with their bellies…EVER! That felt a little condescending, but I’m not a Karen, so I let it slide. Then we tasted our food. Damn! The shrimp were the only good thing on the plate. We believe they had served us back the same fries and scallops from the first plate, now cold, with the oil having congealed and also soaked into the fries, also now cold. Only the shrimp were fresh(ish). The rest had been sitting on the plate for the 25 mins we waited for our corrected order. The Cole slaw was pretty good, but really sugary. Too sweet. The fries also had tons of black spots and rotten areas. They seem to have no quality control. By this point, we were tired and had already been there way longer than expected. We ate some of our mostly crappy food and left. When it first opened, I thought the Beach Plum was great. Now I think they’re spreading themselves too thin and cutting corners on quality and service. The last time before this, we ordered lobster rolls. The 8 oz size. They were all lobster claw meat, including all the skinny, dry, red bits of the claw. They were not good. When Beach Plum was new, they used the knuckle meat as well and seemed the snip off the dry claw bits. We never saw them. But now, no more knuckle, just claw, my least favorite part of the lobster. Just one more way I notice the quality slipping. :( We don’t plan to return any time soon. There are many other places that are so much better. You let us down Beach Plum. (Epping location) Brickyard Shopping Center. Let me know if you decide to step up your game again.

Very friendly service and does not skimp on the fries. It’s a step up from fast food but not very far. It’s delicious for what it is. We got takeout and was ready when I arrived. If you order online, it makes you select a tip or that you are bringing cash for a tip. The inside was very clean and has tables outside with umbrellas to shield from the sun. My wife said the clam chowder was delicious. A great place for a quick, convenient seafood meal.

Every time I come to Epping New Hampshire I come to the Beach Plum! Best lobster rolls in the area by far. Service is very fast and the food is always fresh. Lines get pretty long during the busy lunch and dinners time. Kitchen is very clean and so is the dining room. I find the best ratio to bread and lobster is the 8oz roll option.
