Give the grill master a day off. 🔥

We love a man who handles a pair of tongs like a lethal weapon, but let’s be honest: Dad doesn't actually want to sweat over hot coals on his special day.

Bring him to Backwaters instead. We’ve got the cold beer, the freshest seafood, and best of all....absolutely zero dishes for him to pretend he's going to do later.

See you Sunday! Snag your table before the rush. Reservations recommended, walk-ins welcome.....just get him here before he starts trying to fix the lawnmower again.
