Always a wonderful meal at Backwaters. It has been my favorite restaurant for years. The happy hour menu has great drink and food specials. Bill and his entire team all make you feel so welcomed.
Lobster Bisque was very good. Grouper tacos were also fantastic. Would also order the crabcake sandwich again. Seating was on the water which was great and we didnt have a wait at all arriving just before 8 p.m. Would recommend!
Very friendly people, felt like I could hang out and have fun. Food was excellent, grouper tacos, lobster bisque. Reasonable prices. Nice water views. Did not go for happy hour, but the deals look amazing. Will definitely try that next time.
Food was great and the service was also quite good. Grouper sandwich is a goto favorite. Outdoor seating on the water gave a very nice view but birds can be a little distracting. Id go back in a minute when visiting this area again.
One of my moms favorite places to eat... love all of your smiles!!! They are all so nice. Rick was our server and his smile was contagious... what a wonderful soul!!! The young lady held was training was showing her beautiful smile as well. ...
Incredible dining experience! Our server Kay was outstanding! Chips and salsa arent on the menu but were great. Loved the Buffalo Grouper Bites, Greek Salad very large and Butter Blackened Ribeyes.
Everything was high quality fresh seafood and the outside deck seating was the icing on the cake! I cant wait to try this place again.
