We went for food and drinks because we were tired from traveling and just wanted to people watch. We ordered 2 drinks which were iced down to the point that we got the same amount as a shot and very expensive. Then we ordered the pulled pork egg rolls and fries. We were told they were out of the egg rolls so by this point we decided to just get fries. When we finally got our order the fries they were like Burger King fries only 3 times as expensive. Again, gave it 3 stars because we didn't bowl, maybe that's the ticket to a good time here.

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.

I arrived around 2:10 p.m. and was greeted warmly by Valerie, the bartender, who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Tired of the usual fried chicken and fish options that dominate Mississippi, I asked for a recommendation. She suggested the BLT with grilled chicken and fries, which I happily ordered. Though there was a small crowd, everyone was kind, and I never felt rushed. Valerie checked in on me during my meal, ensuring everything was to my liking. I paired the sandwich with a beer, and the chicken was tender and juicy, making the sandwich quite filling. I finished my meal a bit after 3 p.m., and no one made me feel uncomfortable about the time. I've heard their happy hour on Wednesdays is pretty good, so I plan to come back then while I'm still in town to check it out. I'll update my review afterward!

Open after hours, The Walk In serves up cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer with or without the booze, and light bites. We ordered a Pupu Platter and I got a mocktail. The Pupu platter came with eggrolls, shrimp over rice, wontons, bulgogi skewers w/ peanut sauce and sliced beef. Portion was perfect for two people. The platter has a fire pit in the middle in case you want your beef cooked a little longer. I love this - one because it looks cool, but also when people like their meat different temperatures. This did get a little smoky after a while though. Drinks were cool. I love that they have so many mocktail /non booze beer and wine options along with the regular menu. My drink was okay, a little vinegary, but not bad. Overall, I love the vibe of The Walk In and the Pupu Platter was a great choice!
