After arriving at 11:30 for lunch we asked the hostess for a table for 6 outside. After she put her ice cream down she said it would be awhile but she could seat us inside right away. When we said we would prefer to be...outside, her response was, well okay, if that's what you want but it will be 20 minutes or more. She then took our name and said she would let us know. Her attitude was that of total indifference. After 45 minutes with several others being seated in front of us, we asked if we could split up and once again with indifference were told we'll let you know. After another 20 minutes and no response we went next door to Panini's where we were warmly greeted and all six seated within 5 minutes. If this restaurant wants to keep it's previously positive ratings, it needs to address the staff attitude and train in customer service. Might help them if their hostess communicated with the rest of the staff as well. We are unlikely to go back for a second try.More

Not many restaurants are open on Sundays in Beaufort, so we had lunch at Plums. Chicken salad was SPICY, flavorful and pretty good. My husband's burger was so-so. Overall, we were underwhelmed. Will avoid Beaufort on Sundays in the future.

We had amazing views on the patio. This was the second time we ate here. The food is delicious. They are now only open for lunch.

Service was excellent into this old restaurant sea front at Beaufort. We ate sandwiches and salads, all was ok. A good option if you are in the area.

Our group of 10 was seated for lunch with no problem and no waiting on a Thursday. The staff members were all very helpful and took care of every request. The view on the back patio is fantastic so you can watch the world go...by on the river. We had shrimp salad plate, fried shrimp, cheeseburgers, tuna salad sandwich, and Currie chicken salad and it was all great!!! Groups get gratuity’s added to checks. Highly recommendMore

Four of us had lunch outside Plums on a balmy afternoon. We had a variety of sandwiches, all of which were very nice. They came with a choice of sides. Service was efficient and polite. View across the waterfront park to Point Royal sound was...lovely.More

Right on the Beaufort river with a view of the Lady’s Island Bridge. Well staffed and friendly, super clean. Then there is the food…WOW!!…just amazing. Great menu, perfect service. Inside and outside dining. Highly recommend!

Great food and service in the beautiful downtown area. The shrimp salad was great! Beautiful setting! I recommend eating outdoors if it’s nice weather!

Recommended by a local, Plums was a nice place for lunch. Had the special of Shrimp and Grits which was excellent. We also had a side of Mac and Cheese which was delicious.

In town for visit and ended up at Plums. Had to wait for a table for lunch. Glad we waited. The lunch menu was large but going light. Had a bowl of chicken gumbo (offered that day). Got a bowl and after tasting wanted a...55-gallon drum. Outstanding in every way. Great location, view and service.More

I had a shrimp salad and my husband, chicken salad. They were loaded with meat and well seasoned. Mine was on a baguette and kept squishing out, but tasted great. The sandwich normally is served with chips, but we upgraded to fries--bad idea. The fries...were frozen and squishy in the middle--fairly typical. But the sandwiches were great.More

Our food was great and the view was even better. Our waitress was very kind and attentive also. Would visit again and highly recommend.
