A solid place to stop by!
We came during an extended weekend trip for lunch, drinks, and the pool. We were seated pretty quickly but this place DOES fill up fast (that includes the pool). The front has a place to order different t shirts from the wall then there’s a small indoor seating area and a lot of patio seating outside.
We ordered the jumbo crab rangoons, jalapeno poppers, and club sandwich. Although there was a bit of a wait the food was good and had good portion sizes which helps if you’re there day drinking. Our waitress was friendly and helpful although a bit on the slower side with checking in and bringing items we requested. We waited about 20 minutes to get boxes and our checks.
If you walk down the stairs from the restaurant there’s the gated pool area. As it was summer it was packed even on a weekday. There’s bars and bathrooms right next to the pool as well as a swim up bar. This was helpful since we had to get out to order drinks we at least didn’t have to go far. Although it was a nice vibe I didn’t enjoy that it felt like a hot tub especially in the summer and while drinking. In knowing a large amount of ppl come for the pool I would’ve hoped they cooled the water down & circulated the water better. Additionally a bit of added staff or security would be helpful to ensure ppl aren’t getting ridiculous. I saw someone passed out in a chair from drinking too much and someone else falling over into the chairs unable to walk because of how intoxicated they were. Ofc we’re all adults and should be able to control our drinking but ppl prove that theory wrong every time. It caused a bit of an issue with ppl & their stuff being trampled by ppl too drunk to walk and no staff around to help.
For those who don’t know the added another add on to the location off to the right side of the property. This includes a stage for performances which is cool! Although there isn’t a restaurant like there is at the main pool there are food trucks which is a cool concept to get different types of food. Overall will be back to check out the other side.

Food was excellent and waitress Sadie was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend the Cuban and the Club and the deep fried potato salad! Never had that before and definitely glad we chose it. Tables outside were sticky and drinks pretty weak but over all would visit again if in Missouri.

Love this place! Located right on the bay. Very lively w a large bar area and lots of indoor seating and even more outdoor seating. The food was excellent. I had the HUGE Crab rangoons and a Humongous Cobb Salad. Hubby had a BLT that had lots of bacon on it. Service was excellent for such a busy place. Our waiter, Dustin did a terrific job. Atmosphere was noisy and lively. No real dress code. There were ppl in swim suits and cover ups. The multiple outdoor areas have a stage for bands and tables w umbrellas, also a very large adult wading/swimming pool w swim up tables for the bar.

Fun place to stop during the day. Don’t make it a date night. Wanted to get dinner but after the app we decided to go elsewhere. Looked at the pasta but served on a plate . $15 shrimp cocktail was lacking. Don’t get me wrong, great place to stop by for pool and food but not for us. Everyone having a good time with love music, just wrong timing for us to think of a date night for 2.

We have been coming to Back Water Jacks for since our kids were young and now with our grandkids. With my parents, kids, grandkids and great grandson, we have been to the restaurant with all five generations! Although not all at the same time. We always go on Thursday for the wings, shrimp and crab Rangoon. We love the food, music and people watching. Our great grandson enjoys going so he can feed the fish, ducks, and turtles. We use to come by water, but now we go by land. Thank you for the delicious food, drinks, great service and memories Back Water Jacks!

Food was good and service was excellent, but they were out of Jalapeño Poppers due to a supplier issue. Fried Potato salad was good, different. Blackened Grouper was very good but we liked the Stuffed Mushrooms the most!!! I liked the Cucumber Lemonade too!! I would consider coming back again for the sunset view, if nothing else. Loved the patio/deck – perfect on a cool September night!

By the water. By the pool. Whatever your pleasure.
Come by car, come by boat. Parking for all.
**The parking lot is a tight fit. The closer you get the tighter it gets.**
We even saw a vehicle back out and hit another while we were there. They were able to work it out, but its tight.
We went for a late lunch, the place was busy!
People in the pool, people at the docks, people eating. Lots of energy!
No kids in the pool while we were there.
Our waitress was busy, but was a table of 8 we kinda felt forgotten in the beginning.
Our table had dietary needs. We had to get a separate gluten free menu.
My table wanted to try a couple thing. We decided to try the “Colossal Crab Rangoon” – You get four of these with the sauce.
They were good.
Then I got a blackened fish sandwich with the fried potatoes salad.
I had to take the fish off the bread cause it was a lot of food.
I was head over heals for the fried potatoes salad.
Everyone got what they wanted. Everyone said their food was good. We enjoyed what we had.
The photos are red because were were under a red tent but got a couple decent non food photos.
Its a fun summer spot. I can see that this place gets packed.
