Plums - Beaufort

Always great to visit when I am in town. I had my 2 y/o with me, and we had been shopping beforehand. I was distracted with her and got home and realized I left my shopping bag. I called and they were quick to let me know they had it. The waitress said she tried to catch us but we were too fast in leaving. Food was great and beautiful!

Got the peach pecan salad that was delicious, full of candied pecans. Nice fresh salad with cornbread croutons, creamy goat cheese and tasty peach vinaigrette. Got seated quickly and waited on right away. Sat on the back porch overlooking the water, beautiful setting. Being a vegetarian I do wish they had a veggie sandwich like fried tomatoes . But the salad was very good.

My rating is because we had elementary age children with us and it’s not a good restaurant for that. Restaurant is more for couples and families with older children. It was also loud and we could not have conversations without yelling. On a Thursday evening there was no wait and staff was friendly.

Always a good meal. Definitely a great place to grab lunch when in the area.

Our experience at Plums went downhill fairly quickly when the sweet tea we ordered, which our passive aggressive waitress brought to the table, contained a big bug happily floating at the top. Not a huge deal on it's own, but unfortunately the waitress immediately copped an attitude when we asked for a new one, acting like she was doing us a favor by replacing our tea. Her attitude only worsened as our stay wore on and it put a damper on our lunch visit. Overall the food was mediocre with several in our party satisfied with it and several thoroughly unhappy....the grilled cheese was hard as a brick and the chicken salad did not seem fresh at all, just to describe a couple of our food choices. Wish we chose somewhere else to dine where we could have had a more pleasant experience. If not for the horrible service this review would have been 3 stars.
