Backwater - Melbourne (FL)

5 /5 Jennifer McNew: Oh, hands down, you want to go here. The service was EXCELLENT. The food exceeded my expectations. The environment was fun, cozy, and welcoming. Also.. cook your own pancakes? What a fun thing to do if you have kids. I do not, but I can tell you the table that did was having a great time. I am so glad that my travels led me to this wonderful place for breakfast. My only disappointment is that I am not from this area, so I wont be able to come back as often as Id like. 10/10.

5 /5 Mia DuPuis: Fun experience! The food was good, a little too greasy, but yummy. I felt I had a sugar crash. They give you a menu for their food, and then a menu to circle pancake options for the make your own. Each additional add (chocolate chips, nutella, etc is about $2 per add, strawberries are extra). You circle whatever you want, even add eggs, bacon, sausage. What we ordered (1): -Make Your Own (split it between 2 people and it was more than enough food) ♡ Strawberries ♡ Nutella ♡ Chocolate Chips ♡ Eggs (comes with 2) ♡ Sausage (comes with 2) -Make Your Own ♡ Cream Cheese Frosting ♡ Coconut ♡

5 /5 Lillian Cheng: Rustic vibes and a great place to dine! I got their lemon poppy seed pancakes and my boyfriend got their grits. Looks amazing and tasted even better, wow, I like to describe the pancakes like they taste like “cake”. Soft, fluffy, and sweet! The grits were amazing as well, had a nice savory kick and lots of protein. I also had their grapefruit juice that was very nice. We also tried gator for the first time here, the fried gator appetizer, and it was so good! It kind of tasted like a combo of fish and chicken. We were baffled (in a good way). Definitely will visit again! It gets full quick so I recommend going earlier if possible. We went around 11am!

4 /5 Keene M: Nice atmosphere with good service. Unfortunately, all of the food was just lukewarm. The flavors were good and portions appropriate. I got the Chicken and Waffle with candied orange rinds. The waffle was fine, but there were about six halves of chicken nuggets. I wish I had been told to eat the orange slices with it. They add a nice tartness. My wife got the Fried Green Tomatoes Benedict. Again, nice flavors but not hot. Our friend had the Greek Omelette. Same story. Not a terrible experience, but there are other places to spend my money.
