What a nice southern sandwich shop with a relaxed vibe. They offer chicken salad and shrimp salad sandwiches or plates, Po Boys (both shrimp and Friend Flounder versions), salads and several other dishes. I highly recommend their shrimp salad plate as well as their pork dumpling appetizer served with bacon jam. They have both indoor seating as well as outdoor patio seating overlooking the water and marina. Highly recommended!

My dining experience at Plum in Beaufort was disappointing, with the food falling below expectations and a billing issue that left a negative impression. The hamburger was a standout, well-prepared and flavorful, making it a bright spot in the meal. However the shrimp po’ boy, which I was eager to try, was a major letdown. The bread was a stark white instead of the golden, crispy texture you’d expect from a well-made po’ boy, and it lacked any notable flavor, making the dish feel flat. The shrimp and grits were equally unimpressive, missing the rich, soulful taste that defines this Southern staple. Overall, the food quality didn’t live up to the charm of Beaufort’s dining scene. Additionally, we were charged an automatic tip without clear notification, leading us to tip again unknowingly. This lack of transparency was frustrating and felt deceptive. Plum has potential given its location, but the kitchen needs to focus on improving dish execution—starting with properly baked, flavorful bread—and the staff should be upfront about billing practices. I hope they address these issues to elevate the experience for future guests.

We had the most amazing server we’ve ever had in our 31 years on this planet. Christie was the most kindest, genuine sweetest server. She was attentive she was engaging. She was charismatic. I want to come back here over and over again just to have Christie as our server will definitely come back. The food was great. The service was fantastic. Exactly what you’re expecting when you come to a restaurant!

Great to sit outside and our waitress was very nice. We came because the reviews were good so we were surprised how disappointed we were! The shrimp and grits came with the shrimp shells on, which was strange. My husband gets this dish frequently in SC and never seen that before. And my Gorgonzola/apple salad was not good and an awful dressing. We won’t be back.
This place had amazing shrimp and grits with huge portions, I couldn’t finish it all. We also tried the shrimp burger as well as the gumbo and it did not disappoint. I asked a local seafood dealer about who served local shrimp around Beaufort and Plums was on their list. Such a good spot! Highly recommend.

We ate outdoors and enjoyed our meals. I chose the low country gumbo and the tomato pie special. Both choices were delicious and flavorful. Our server was attentive and efficient. Plums is a great choice for lunch in Beaufort.

Loved the gumbo and the back porch. Added to a wonderful day for us visiting from Charleston

Nice atmosphere if you eat outside.
Service is not good no matter what time of day or the number in your party.
I've gone with different people, and we've always tried different menu items. The fried items seem to be breaded and prepped poorly as they fall apart easily. Salads come with limp greens and questionable veggies.
The bartender is good. Mixed drinks are fun, but expensive for this place, given the service.
If you are downtown, keep walking.

Good food, good drinks. But, not enough staff. Waited 10 minutes to be seated, 15 minutes to get a waitress, and 30 minutes for food. Semi friendly waitress. Can be seated on back porch, inside or at bar area. Pay Parking on street. Other restaurants in proximity. Plums is open for Lunch only.
Pretty spot along the water. Sat on the patio
