Backwater's on Sand Key

My mom , sister and I were looking for a restaurant in walking distance of our hotel. The Backwaters restaurant was a short walk and did not disappoint. My mom had the crab cakes and said they were out of this world. I had the chicken parm sandwich. It was massive and soo good. My sister had a cheeseburger and raved about it. Our waitress, Jenn, was such a joy. She was friendly, welcoming, attentive and super helpful when selecting our entrees. We dined outside overlooking the bay and the view was amazing. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic! A+ 1st visit and it was AWESOME! 5:30 pm on a Sat. Greeted and seated quickly. We chose outdoor seating. Janine was a wonderful server. Food was DELICIOUS! Side salad was delicious. Grouper sandwich was the best I’ve had. Wife chose ravioli special. It was amazing. Food was top notch quality. A+ all around. They do off complimentary valet parking which made it super simple arriving. Give it a try and leave a rating to help others.

Kayla rocked it tonight behind the bar. Michelle kept a watchful eye and was a great trainer. Always a pleasure to come here, enjoy the food and see all the friendly places. My only request.... bring the Mozzarella Sticks you serve at the tavern over to Backwater's. You need a few more "'game time" options like this!

Lwk overall it was a great seaside experience, the firecracker shrimp beats CPK by a mile and all other food was good, when chosen to have it “blackened” it was almost too strong of a flavor. The waterside seating was great and saw fish of some sort. Service was good and attentive. Great, highly recommend
