Review & FAQ:

Backwater is a charming breakfast and lunch restaurant owned by Florida natives who strive to bring traditional southern dishes to both locals and visitors of Brevard County. With their forward thinking mindset they aim to only utilize locally sourced ingredients from local farmers, fishermen, and ranchers. They make their own biscuits, pull their own pork, and squeeze their own fresh juices each day. You’ll enjoy relaxing in their rustically designed eatery while delighting in classics with a twist such as their Fried Green Tomato & Spinach Eggs Benedict served on an English muffin with black cherry grits. Favorite lunch entrees include items like their Grilled Mac & Cheese and signature Pork Rueben.
