Blackwater's is a nice place with a different slant to breakfast. They have tables with griddles in the center to allow you to fry your own pancakes. For a very reasonable $7, you get a 12 oz squeeze container with batter, which will make three 12 in plate sized pancakes. There are 4 different varieties to choose from: buttermilk, vegan, gluten free, and seasonal, which today was apple cinnamon. You can get other toppings and add-ins, like blueberries or chocolate chips for an additional price. There is also a full breakfast menu with the Backwater spin, like waffles and fried gator bites or chicken, and a lunch menu. The only downfall to the restaurant seemed to be their pricing of the add-ons for pancakes. Look at the menu and you see a side of bacon, sausage, or two eggs are $6 each. Home fries are $3.50 and toast $2. You get 2 slices of bacon for that $6. Yes, it's thick sliced and tasty, but a pound of thick sliced bacon gets you 10 pieces at a minimum, in some packs 12 to 14. That puts the bacon, somewhere in the $25 range a pound. I doubt the restaurant's paying that much for it. Then to boot, if you order the Southern Breakfast, you get your two eggs, bacon or sausage, home fries, and toast all for $13. That's a savings of $3 from a la carte. It's prices like this, that make us leary about going out to eat these days. Although, $13 is the typical price this morning for breakfast, I think if everybody took a hard look at how much it costs for their supplies that they buy in bulk, they could shave a couple dollars off the price, and they'd bring a few more customers in. Because words gets out that it's worthwhile venture. This would give them the funds to meet all their overhead requirements. So, shop wisely. Otherwise the experience and especially the wait staff are very nice.

We've been going to this location for over a decade. Dinners, HH, early dinner, brunch you babe it. Just now getting to leaving a review. I have Celiac Disease and wanted to share how accommodating this restaurant is. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure safety. My last server shared pictures of ingredients from their Worcestershire sauce and even googled to ensure my safety. Some restaurants make me feel like a burden. Chart House leaves me feeling cared for and welcomed. Plus their food is great! Thank you!

I love the burgers here but the customer service is seriously lacking and the manger is extremely rude. Over my past 5 orders they have forgotten toppings, sides, and condiments. I’m a celiac and can’t eat gluten and this is one of the rare places who offer gluten free buns at an extra price. It’s already crappy I have to already pay more for a allergy but on top of that they never give me ketchup, or mayonnaise even when I ask multiple times to please put it in the bag. since my gluten free bun comes in a plastic wrapping they don’t put the condiments on the burger even tho I’ve asked them too they said they can put it in the bag and then never do! I’ve gotten a couple deluxe burgers missing onions, missing lettuce, missing ordered and paid for bacon on the burger. I’ve gone back through the drive thru because let’s be honest no one wants to eat a dry burger. Tonight I went through the drive thru after driving 20 minutes to get it and asked the girl three times for ketchup and even asked her if she put some in my bag and paid extra for two ranches and then I get home to no ketchup no mayonnaise and a burger with no lettuce or onion. I called the manager and was very respectful and said hi I was just there 25 minutes ago and ordered food, I ordered a deluxe gluten free burger and they gave me no ketchup or the ranch I paid for and my burger was missing lettuce and onion. And if I could come back tomorrow and get a remake cause this is like the 6th time it’s happened. He then told me I could come back right now when they close in 25 minutes and I’m 20 minutes away. He said he didn’t care there was no one above him to talk to and hung up on me. He was very rude, very disrespectful and I’m sick of them forgetting my items. Sucks cause food is good. Management is horrible and it seems like there’s multiple people having this issue. I work across the parking lot from them and eat there on my lunch sucks they’re gonna lose a almost daily customer over remaking a single burger. Do better
