A couple folks had eaten here previous, but for the rest of us this was our first time. You're primarily looking at a seafood centric restaurant. I guess that's pretty obvious by the name. We kicked off the meal with.fried crab claws. Not wanting fried we went with broiled. We did end up getting fried in one of the meals and having tried both definitely go with the broiled. A few slices of toasted bread also joined this appetizer. Perfect dip the Orleans sauce into. Tasty, meaty fairly good size, and soaking in their famous Orleans sauce was an absolute appetizer kickoff. This is gulf blue crab and gulf shrimp residing in their Orleans sauce. I think you could eat just these and be perfectly fine. A little bit of a kick of spice but not overpowering just flat out spot on. One entrée that came highly recommended was the red fish Orleans. Outstanding! Blackened red fish topped with Orleans sauce and shrimp. Only got four shrimp but collectively the meal was outstandingly fresh and filling. The Orleans sauce once again was the perfect topper. Add a topping of Parmesan cheese. My entrée came with a choice of sides. It was suggested I tried the gumbo so I did. Again, fantastic!

While home during the holiday, my brother said that we should go to Monte's. With me being a…read morepescatarian, this was a good option. We ordered our dishes and ate family style. We started with shrimp stuffed with crab and mushrooms stuffed with crab. I remember the Byram location being heavy-handed with lemon in the hollandaise sauce. It was not heavy here. For the main dishes, we ordered stuffed catfish and redfish Diane. Both came with pasta, which was a nice accompaniment. I must say that I was shocked at how few patrons were in the restaurant. There was a total of three tables the entire time my brother and I were there. Service was outstanding, and the food was good. My brother remarked that the Byram location is also empty. Nevertheless, I appreciated the recommendation, and so did my appetite.

This is my 2nd review of Backwater Grill because...well, frankly...I think they deserve it…read more Here is the thing about Mississippi: You buy your days on credit. You get these magical 73º days in March and April (and maybe even May), fully understanding you are going to have to pay the piper come June, July, and August. But while you have them, you treasure them. The sun shines bright, but with warm welcome, not a glaring intensity. The cool breeze carries the scent of red maples, azaleas, dogwood, redbud, Yoshino Cherry trees, and, sweetest of them all, honeysuckle. The sky is a tropical blue, like you might see sitting on some tropical island with a name you struggle to pronounce. So why would you spend a Saturday afternoon like this inside, when you can sit outside, looking at the backwaters, and enjoying a delicious meal? This is my 4th trip to Backwater. Lunch, brunch, dinner, and now lunch again. So far, they never disappoint. It is early in the crawfish season, so my expectations are not high, but Backwater delivered just the same. Their weight scales are generous and their seasoning is excellent. The shrimp? Well, they are normally my 2nd choice behind crawfish, but these reds are big and succulent and juicy. Some of the best I have had. The beer selection is excellent and served icy cold, which is a good thing, because the potatoes and corn will burn your lips (if you aren't "from here", that is a good thing). But if you don't indulge, no worries...the sweet tea would make your Mama proud. And the ambience? Well, what can I say? Perfect. I can't believe it has taken this long for somebody to make use of the beautiful backwaters of the Reservoir. It is prime "Mississippi" and the owners are genius and clearly willing to put in a massive amount of work and effort to make eating at Backwater Grill a true Mississippi experience. If you are in the area, or even if you have to drive to get here, do yourself a favor: visit Backwater Grill. Next visit, I'm trying trying a burger for sure.

We visited on a Saturday night with a large group and there was a wait as would be expected. We got…read moredrinks at the bar which took awhile - again, it's a busy Saturday night so not a problem. We waited outside and the setup is great - an open lawn and boardwalk overlooking the swamp. We enjoyed watching the wildlife and chatting. Once seated, we waited over 10 minutes for a server to stop by and finally went inside to ask for someone to help our table. A manager came out to take our drink orders. The kids' sodas came out quickly, but we waited and waited for bar drinks and two Shirley Temples. Food came quickly once ordered, and the aforementioned drinks didn't come out until after the food was served. The drinks and food themselves were quite good. If the service had hit the same level, it would have been a better experience.
