I'd be lying if I said this place wasn't the best in Decatur.. The Jackpot sauce is to die for.. You won't ever want any other chicken wings in town.. I can't express my utter satisfaction in words.. u just gotta feel it

The very first time I went to waterfront Cafe it was because the community was speaking very highly of them, I'm a cook so I was curious, so I immediately went after work, was greeted with a smile, also had a brief conversation with the owner, anyway to make it short the chicken wings was some of the best I have had so I must say if you want good down south chicken and fish go to waterfront Cafe, they won't let you down!!!

The best wings I’ve had in a while. There is a bit of a wait for wings as they cook everything fresh, but the wait is worth it!! They are perfectly sauced with so much flavor! The cook even brought us two wings with jackpot sauce to try, the staff are friendly. We will be back for sure!

I've been eating here for 3 years. We like the menu, the food and the people. Walleye and wings are our favorites. A simple, rustic atmosphere, has always been clean and comfortable. The prices don't bust the budget either. Great spot to drop in with the whole family.

Stopped by today for my lunch break and got the catfish. Absolutely in love with freshness and crispness of the food!! I didn’t even need the hot sauce for my fish because the seasonings were on point. I definitely walked out of here impressed and wishing it was closer to Chicago so i could check it out again. Check them out!

This place is a GEM. I had the polish sausage which was incredible. Amazing flavor & snap. I also had 6 chicken wings. The flavors are UNREAL. The owner even let me try his new flavor Jackpot. Eating here will not disappoint you. Highly recommended!

Gary is awesome and the food is just as good! The BBQ sauce on the pulled pork is some of the best I’ve ever had and the Fried bologna was super too. He even brought out some lemon pepper catfish to try and it was great too and I hate fish! Awesome place to grab a bite before the show at the Devon.

I really do enjoy that fried Bologna. It really reminds me of back home in Arkansas. And today I have those fries, they will season well and taste so good.
