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.

What a perfect 4th of July evening at Backwaters! We started in the bar with a couple of drinks, watching the Braves game on their many sports screens. The bartender was attentive and friendly the whole time. We then moved out to the beautiful bayside dock seating. Our server was super friendly — she walked us through the menu and helped us pick our orders. The lightly blackened Captain’s Platter was absolutely delicious, and everything came out hot and fresh. We ended the night with over 30 minutes of watching dozens of fireworks shows lighting up Tampa Bay. The location is perfect — close enough to Coachmen Park to enjoy Clearwater’s show in full glory. Great food, excellent service, and an unbeatable waterfront atmosphere. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!"

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.

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
