Backwater Jacks

By the water. By the pool. Whatever your pleasure. Come by car, come by boat. Parking for all. **The parking lot is a tight fit. The closer you get the tighter it gets.** We even saw a vehicle back out and hit another while we were there. They were able to work it out, but its tight. We went for a late lunch, the place was busy! People in the pool, people at the docks, people eating. Lots of energy! No kids in the pool while we were there. Our waitress was busy, but was a table of 8 we kinda felt forgotten in the beginning. Our table had dietary needs. We had to get a separate gluten free menu. My table wanted to try a couple thing. We decided to try the "Colossal Crab Rangoon" - You get four of these with the sauce. They were good. Then I got a blackened fish sandwich with the fried potatoes salad. I had to take the fish off the bread cause it was a lot of food. I was head over heals for the fried potatoes salad. Everyone got what they wanted. Everyone said their food was good. We enjoyed what we had. The photos are red because were were under a red tent but got a couple decent non food photos. Its a fun summer spot. I can see that this place gets packed.

After spending the day on the lake with fam, decided to stop here for dinner. I was very pleasantly surprised. Jalapeño popper apps were inventive and delicious, and when I saw grouper on the menu in Missouri, I was intrigued. The grilled grouper was fantastic and plentiful, served over a bed of well seasoned rice. I was skeptical of the steamed broccoli the way it was plated, but it ended up being well steamed and perfectly seasoned. My one complaint is that the fries are not listed on the menu as battered fries and I was unable to eat them due to being gluten sensitive and would've ordered another side. Great service for a large group, would definitely visit again!
