The Beach Plum

Went here on the way home from York Maine last Thursday, never been before. Good food, I liked the cheese dog and fries, and sweet potato fries. Service was good. Good workers too, usually at restaurants or businesses the workers look like they don't want to be there. They seemed to be positive and upbeat at their job.

Small place looks like fast food joint but had really fresh lobster rolls at a reasonable price. You order they bring to table. Outside eating very good food very little atmosphere. A definite go back to place.

Never been but really wanted to try it out. We were on our way home to Dover from Hampton. I had the daily special. It was fried haddock topped with crab meat and cheddar cheese. I was not happy at all with it and didn't eat it after trying a few small bites. I should have tried the award winning lobster roll.

Ho hum. 3.8. Finally, after much hype, I made it here. Now after multiple food review sources have sang the praises I can say I have context. Ordered the 3way combo. Fried haddock, fried clams,
Fried scallops, fried overcooked fried cooked fried fried fried fried fried, and of course french fries. Dam near perfect French fries, should be called Beach Plum fries and things. Fried haddock good, clams overcooked, scallops overcooked. All greasy. I'm not afraid of a little grease by any stretch and accept that you'll always get some on a fried platter of anything but this was a bit much. The grease and over cooking I'm sure were all a result of being busier than a seasonal crew is ready for but if ya ain't gonna do it right then.....! Cole slaw sucked but in all fairness it usually does at seafood places, and bbq places, and fried chicken places, secondary thought for most I guess. Plenty of love is given to a spot on classic tartar sauce though.Staff were nice. Place was clean. No calamari was weird and annoying, one of my faves. Overall definitely not the worst but definitely not up to the hype that preceded it.

Great seafood. Food is always excellent. We got fried shrimp and scallops dinners. Very good and large portions. Their homemade cocktail sauce is the best we ever had. Staff is very friendly and they bring your meal right to your table. Lots of seating inside and out. It is always very busy here and after you eat the food you will understand why. They also serve a wide variety of ice cream which is also very good.
