Beer is not cold, even the glasses when requested are warm. Wait time is ridiculous. The inside bar was not even open on a Saturday.

Bad Experience!! This review is from 7/5/24. There were 4 adults and 2 kids with our party. We were seated approximately at 12 noon. The restaurant didn’t seem that busy at all.

The kid’s food came out first, after about 30 minutes, which was fine. After a total of a hour and 20 minutes, the adults asked for an eta on our food. The server, which was highly frustrated came back with no answer for us.

We understood this wasn’t the server’s fault at all. The restaurant was being poorly managed and the kitchen staff couldn’t handle the orders coming in. I noticed there were other patrons complaining to the manager as well. The manager never bothered to come and give an explanation.

We ended up having to leave after waiting at our table for a hour and a half without any food except for what the kids ate. We were all very disappointed we waited so long and still needed to go elsewhere to find food. I don’t believe we will be taking our chances here until management gets better.

Lame tourist trap. Expensive and unimpressive cocktails.

Love this place people are so

Wonderful afternoon at Rhum bar! Enjoyed some tasty appetizers and a cocktail! The porch is dog friendly! Staff is very gracious and kind! The people in the bar area outside were fun.

Staff are the best! Friendly, outgoing, and informative.Food - not so much. I ordered grouper bites - extremely greasy and the accompanying pepper mayonnaise was pretty gross.My friend ordered shrimp and grits. Bill Neal is rolling in his grave to see that this restaurant added green/red peppers to his signature recipe. The classic - with green onions, garlic, and lemon enhances the fresh shrimp flavor. The peppers masked the freshness and overwhelmed the dish.

Usually the best place for late lunch- drinks were great! But the hostess and service front of the house the worst service we have ever had there! Walked in told come back in 10 mins they are not taking a wait anymore. I asked so we can’t eat here? Response oh no you can we are just changing menu.-? thought why would you basically tell us to leave when the outside is great and we can sit and order a drink and wait- so we did and I asked do I need to go on the new menu wait for a table? She said no’ we will let you know-As my father 83 who has never been there sat at an outside table and was told he couldn’t so I explained she said she would let us know- sit down by the water-Mind you it was only three minutes till menu change- walk back to the hostess and it’s now 20 mins later and I ask how much longer?She says- oh’ at 2:30 you can just pick any table- my response- well why didn’t you tell us that I’m the beginning - as my father was told he could not sit at a table and I waited 20 mins to take them there and wait bc I was told you would let us know!At this time no tables now available at all!Sucks! Be a long time before I take anyone back there! Don’t recommend- hostess was rude and didn’t care! I spoke to the manager and she had nothing to say to me about the service! Said sorry for your experience- Didn’t even offer to get us a table! Been going there 20 years and bringing people there as they come to visit with my Airbnb’s, personal friends, or for fishing tournaments- we left and had much better service at local place called Finz!

Casual, friendly, delicious food, beautiful sunset from the decks outside it was great! The grouper bites are an appetizer but COULD be a main course for most people and they were delicious!! A local clued me in on this place and that dish in particular and I am so glad they did. I had the flounder as the main course - fresh and delicious!

Got a period of time 10 or 12 years ago we had family in the area and traveled here frequently. We frequented Beaufort and the Front Street Grill many times. Today we made a special trip from the New Bern area to enjoy lunch at the Front Street Grill again. There have been some changes in the town and the layout of the restaurant as could be expected. We read the menus posted outside and inquired about outside seating. Told it would be only a 30 minute wait we were glad to enjoy the beautiful day outside. 50 minutes later the pager summoned us back. We were shown to our “outside” seating, a table in the very noisy bar area, where we could look out the window of door at the outside seating….. We were handed a single sheet “Brunch” menu that had absolutely nothing on it that I was interested in. I asked about the Lunch menu and was told that on Sunday only the Brunch menu was served. On my way out the door I looked for, and did not see, any notice of a limited menu being served. Overall a big disappointment and a waste of an hours of our time. All change is not progress. I will not bother to return or recommend.

Fantastic atmosphere, stunning views, happy vibes, great food, and incredible drinks. The Rhum Bar has the best painkillers in Beaufort. Definitely order the level 2 to cut the sweetness…. You will leave with no pain as promised ?. The staff is super friendly. The grouper bites, burgers, and fish tacos are always a good choice. This is one of our favorite Beaufort places to hang out whether it is to go grab a bite to eat or have a cocktail to watch the sunset.

Hostess sat us at a sticky table and on top of that we were not asked what we wanted for drinks and it took the waitress 20min to even get us waters. We waited an 1hr just to get our food while three other tables we served right away after being seated after us. When the food finally got to us our plates were not even hot. Absolutely the worst service ever!

I've tried to stop by SEVERAL occasions and even on HOLIDAYS and they're still closed!! As a local, this is highly disappointing! Always closed! Get some regular
