Surfside Smokehouse, the only waterfront dining in Plymouth, is ready to welcome you with the most diverse menu, phenomenal view and friendly atmosphere. From our smoker is traditional BBQ fare of KC Burnt Ends, Memphis Ribs and Carolina Pulled Pork, for our Surf lovers the freshest of local oysters, haddock, lobster rolls and our house favorite coconut shrimp. Steps away from Plymouth Rock pair your lobster quesadilla with one of our many specialty cocktails while you enjoy the view of boaters and beachgoers enjoying the harbor and Long Beach; take in a tune from one of our local musicians as the breeze sweeps through on our open aired deck. We pride ourselves on 5-star service that will make you feel like you are part of the family, like it or not!

Disappointing visit. Got there after making a reservation and specifying "low table" and was seated at a high table. Shot that down. Finally was seated at a low table, was handled the menus and, lo and behold, any and every dish that normally had lobster in it was crossed off the menu (but not crossed off on the web site menu). Okay, so make new selections, place orders (2 barbeque orders and 2 regular entrees). Waitress comes back to tell us "they are out of baked beans. Pick a different side". A restaurant that sells barbequed meats is OUT OF BAKED BEANS!!!! Really. Did no one check inventory prior to opening? Food more or less okay. Barbequed brisket way to much fat, not enough meat. Noise level very high for most of the visit. This was supposed to be a birthday dinner for one of our party of four. Sorry but you guys are off the "birthday dinner" list of restaurants in the Plymouth area.

Burnt ends are not burnt ends. Food was super greasy and upset our stomachs. Waitress and bartender whispering to each other and took forever to return to the table. We will not return.

Atmosphere great, service great. I've been going here practically weekly since hearing about it. And food has been 100% on point. Salivating, really. I usually get the usual (Surf and Turf burger, fries, and stuffies to start).But this time around, the fries were stale and burger was burnt. Neither came out hot. Stuffies rock, as always, though.

Great water views of the harbor and, in the distance, the Mayflower. Friendly, comfortable vibe. Good service. This was a lunch among friends who hadn’t been together since before COVID so we appreciated not feeling rushed or pressed to keep ordering drinks, etc. Food gets mixed reviews. The lobster roll and fried scallops were excellent, as was the kielbasa. Burnt ends were very dry and lacked flavor. Mac and cheese was meh. Baked beans were generic and watery; we assumed they were canned. Cornbread was light and fresh. I’d definitely return but will focus on seafood until they get their BBQ game back on track. Glad we had a reservation as it was quite busy and only the downstairs was open.

We went on a Thursday, after they had been closed for 2 days for a staff party/break. I made reservations and choose the regular table and we were seated at a high-top. That should have alerted me that this meal was going to have some issues: not deal breaking but room for improvement. After we ordered we were told that they had a bad batch of oysters (perhaps they had kept them since Monday?) and so they had no oysters. They were also out of clam chowder (we were there for lunch so clearly, none had been made). And they had no regular coffee, only decaf (we were told that they were a seasonal restaurant, but I believe that they are open for another month). The 5 shrimp for an appetizer were good but really expensive ($20!) and the fries with our fish & chips were served cold. We only had appetizers and fish & chips and the fish & chips took more than an hour to arrive. For lunch. The setting/view is fantastic and with some improvement on details and meal prep it could be a very good restaurant choice....

Only Restaurant in Plymouth on the water. The view of the boats is wonderful. All seating is outside, under canopy cover. The service was great - really good wait staff, attentive without being annoying. The cocktails were delicious. We both had stuffies to start with. The flavor was great, not all filler - unfortunately the very middle of both of them was stone cold. Mixing it in with the rest took care of it. My fish & chips were fabulous. The batter was light and the fish was fresh. The fries were nicely salted & the tartar sauce was very nice. My wifes Brisket had a great rub on it, but was dry. Here mac 'n cheese was lovely and the Asparagus was perfectly cooked.

Outstanding views. One of first ones there for lunch which quickly filled up. Waitress Carolyn was great. Ordered drinks, apps, never rushed. Ordered meals, both caprese sandwich and two meat selfie combo were great. Ordered another drink and just sat for awhile taking in the view. Extremely relaxing when they don’t rush you.

Like everyplace they seem understaffed. It took a long time to even get water. Another server bumped into our table hard enough to spill our drinks across the table and never stopped. I liked the food and ambiance. Service was just so-so.

It was very chilly and windy. That being said, I thought the plastic sides reached to the deck. Unfortunately they only reach the rails. That made for rather uncomfortable dining. Probably because of the wind and high 60’s temperature our food arrived almost cold. We could not linger for more drinks and dessert. We will definitely check the weather more carefully and will not dine unless the weather is perfect. Sigh. I really love the location and the food is usually pretty good.
