Introducing a Fresh Seafood Experience!

Backwater Jacks is a quaint place with nautical décor and a very Jimmy Buffet feel to it, but the food is far from just a "cheeseburger in paradise". From exquisite Snowy Grouper to Mile high prime rib sandwich, it spans the gambit. We feel that Backwater Jacks is a hidden gem among the many jewels back in Bonita Bay! Shhhh! Don't tell everyone!

Hours:
Thursday to Saturday, 11:00 AM- 8:00 PM

Come see what you’ve been missing – you really don’t know the new Jack!!!

Please note - once you get to the Gate let them know you are heading to Backwater Jack's and they will let you through.

    Went for BBQ night. We love BBQ and were not disappointed. The pulled pork sandwich was hot, tender, and delicious!

    When coming to Backwater Jack's sitting on the water is always relaxing. I wish there were more breakfast-brunch options. And the portion sizes we're a little small. Offering English muffins or missions in general would be a nice touch. But all around a great experience.

    We have been to Backwater Jacks twice in the last week. The food is wonderful but the second time we were there the hostess was not very accommodating. Our reservation was at 6:00 p.m. and we were seated at the entrance to the kitchen and the swinging doors for people entering the restaurant. I asked to be moved because there were a number of open tables and I was told no. When we left those same table were open. While the food was very good, we were very irritated by the lack of customer service by the hostess. Our server was excellent.

    Our server never brought our wine or my partner’s soup. The meal was delivered instead. We told him to cancel the soup and our wine. The crab cake was good but my pulled chicken sandwich was supposed to have fried plaintain on it. It had a few slivers of overly cooked plaintain basically as a garnish. Won’t be back.
