We just moved to Wake Forest and this is our new go-to seafood restaurant. The owners and staff go out of their way to make... your experience pleasant and memorable. The food is fantastic! I love their steamed oysters, and their fried seafood isawesome as well. Haven?t tried the crabs or crab legs yet, as I don?t know how to eat them! But the owner told us to let himknow when we are coming in for them and he will make sure they have what we want and he said he will show us how to eat them. Just a very welcoming place with great seafood! Read more

Amazing food! The wait staff is all very sweet and although everything is listed as market price, three people were able to eat... there for $60. Great place and will absolutely go again Read more

First time there and it was awesome I loved the crab legs, steamed clams were great, large ones too. The scallops were cooked... perfectly, juicy and delicious! I enjoyed the atmosphere, laid back, but busy. A little pricy but worth it. Read more

Service was absolute top notch! Oysters on the half shell were awesome and the snow crab legs were all you want them to be. Kids... loved the hush puppies. Definitely odd that the prices are all marked out on the menu but you can view their online menu andmost prices are there. Read more

This place was recommended to me, thought I would give them a try this evening. I was seated outside, and given a menu. Another... lady was seated after me, immediately a server came out to get her drink order. The lady's mother came and sat down. Anotherserver immediately went to their table to get their food order. No one came to my table or acknowledged that I had not beenserved. Not even 2 minutes pass and a third server went to their table to get their order (that had already previously beengiven). Still, I did not receive any service so I left since my business was not wanted. Read more

Awesome!! Well seasoned steamed crab legs and shrimp. Seemed so much healthier than the seafood boil bags from other... restaurants. Didn't have all that heavy oil and still VERY tasty. Great job!!! Service was wonderful. They were about to closebut willing to add our orders for to go as well. Loved it!! Read more

2021 Review - Update to my last review from four years ago - happy to report, that Backfins still does not disappoint! The... current scarcity of some seafood has meant the menu is now market price (and the portion of scallops was smaller), but we stillenjoyed every bite - scallops, shrimp, oysters, crab cakes, hush puppies hand cut fries and potato salad. My husband and l alsoenjoyed the seasonal beer which had a hint of coconut. Definitely our go to place when we feel like seafood and don't feel likecooking it at home. 2017 Review - Our third visit and definitely not our last. We love the fresh, tasty seafood. This time weshared snow crab, calamari, crab cakes, shrimp and scallops (which were juicy and.pan seared to perfection), plus of course hushpuppies, slaw, potato salad and fries. Our 8 year old enjoyed his chicken tenders as usual - hopefully one day he will learn toenjoy seafood! Read more
