Always has great music! The views of the water is relaxing and beer is icey. But, if you are hungry, go somewhere else. Food is overpriced and small portions leave you still hungry. Breaded tenderloin had 4 times more breading and barely any meat. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich had a breaded tenderloin piece of meat not a full piece of... more

We ate here in July of 2007. We had a large group, probably 15+. Of course we had to wait, not a big deal, expect that just about anywhere, especially with that size of a crowd. They did accomodate us, and that can be hard to find. We all seemed to like what we had and towards the end of... more

We came upon this bar and grill by accident and were SO glad we did. Sit outside to eat when the weather is nice. A band was playing beyond and it was a very nice atmosphere over looking the docked boats and the water. The food was VERY good. For sure try the fried potato salad, it was simply great.... more

Took the advice of a "local" to go there....they said they have the best food and menu. The ONLY thing that was okay about the place was the band for the evening, "The Surge". The menu looked like very overpriced bar food! We couldn't decide if we wanted to pay that price for that kind of food, so we ordered... more

Backwater Jacks has gotten better lately, but the food is still the same old nasty stuff it has always been. I guess it would be okay if you are too drunk to notice that the place is not clean, and the food is simply expensive bar food. more

We found this place after doing a quick search for reviews. The couple that recommended this place hit it on the head. This was a GREAT restaurant. The Atmosphere was fun, overlooking the water. The Food was TERRIFIC. We had the cajun chicken and mexican pasta, fried potato salad and red beans and rice. They were all excellent. Our waiter,... more
