Reviews for Backwater Fins in Crystal River, FL
Great food, great service, very friendly. It was a comfortable small town, local restaurant. Fish tacos with dirty rice, fried... green tomatoes with an amazing cajun sauce, and bacon wrapped shrimp with the blue crab bisque as a dipping sauce. So yummy!Definitely recommend! Read more
My family & I ate at Backwater Fins on July 7th with some friends & we really enjoyed it. We enjoyed it so much that we went... back the next night for dinner & it was just as good. The food tasted fresh & was delicious! You can't go wrong with the grouperbites, grilled shrimp wrapped in bacon, gator bites, clam strips, hush puppies, etc. The waitresses were really helpful &friendly. They are well versed in customer service & their menu items. The main dining room has a nice view of the water & itwas cool & not too loud. We were staying just around the corner & we were happy to have found this little gem of a restaurant.We will definitely be back on our next visit. Read more
I really loved this place! We went for the seafood boils and we were not disappointed. We ordered the swamp boil with crab,... mussels, clams, oysters, shrimp, crawdads, potato, corn, and sausage. It was more then enough for 2 ppl and everything wasdelicious. I ordered a piña colada and it was freshly made, not from a mix, and one of the best I've ever had. The service wasalso amazing. Super friendly and personable. Gave us some great recommendations for kayaking and other places to eat. Could nothave been happier Read more
A hidden Gem!!! We were riding the bike and decided to stop here for a drink well after seeing the menu I decided I wanted... soup. It was a toss up between the Blue Crab Bisque or the Clam Chowder I picked the Clam Chowder. First off I have had clamchowders from the east coast to all over Florida and this soup was THE BEST CLAM CHOWDER I HAVE EVER HAD!!! It had plenty offresh clams and potatoes the creamy flavor was SPECTACULAR it truly was the best and before I head back home I am going back toget some to take home so BRAVO TO THE CHEF THIS SOUP WAS THE MOST DELICIOUS SOUP I HAVE EVER TASTED!!!!

The food was absolutely delicious. We had a very varied selection among four of us and we all had great meals. Prices were... extremely reasonable. It's not a dressy place but the vibe is nice and there are huge windows so even if sitting inside it feelslight and airy. Read more
