This has long been a favorite. I love their fresh peel shrimp, lobster bisque and views of the intercoastal from the patio. A relaxing environment for a meal.

There were a lot of mosquitoes that night, I think they should have warned you before you sat outside to eat because you are the one on the menu! The food and service were good, and staff friendly and kind, even gave mosquito spray to put on after being bitten alive.

There's a reason that so many people rate this eatery with 5 stars. The view is fantastic. The food delicious. The price unbelievably low. Super-friendly servers. I went a little overboard! An 8oz steak lunch with fries and cole slaw just $14.00....so I ordered (and ate) two orders! The steak was cooked to perfection and tasted GREAT! I will definitely be visiting Backwaters on future lunch dates!
