I'm never disappointed in this local establishment. The Reubens are bomb, wings are great, and the burgers are out of this world. Great rotational beer selection, and the service is always incredible.

I've been to Black Water a many times. My husband and I decided to go for a fish fry. Upon ordering our waitress informed us that they were out of tartar sauce. We ordered the fish anyway. Who runs out of Tatar sauce on fish fry Friday. It was very discouraging considering that the restaurant could have sent someone to the store to get relish and make some. The waitress seemed very annoyed to have to explain to several customers they were out. It seems like everytime we go they out of something. Then to top the evening off when we left two waitresses were outside smoking. I personally don't care if people smoke but how disgusting to have to walk threw their smoke right outside the door. Management definitely needs to change that!!!

Sooo impressed. The service was awesome; our waitress Hailey was on point even with a table of 11 work friends -she kept up with everything, was very informative about the menu and didn't miss a beat. Kodus to the excellent customer service. Great beer menu to start. The food was also superb, I personally had the "Zenzi Burger" which was a unique & very delicious burger topped with bacon, jalapeno, peanut butter & cheddar -not to mention a portion of the proceeds go to local animal shelter (kudos to an awesome idea). For dessert I had the homemade peanut butter pie and that too was phenomenal. I highly recommend these two dishes if you like penut butter like me! Everyone else's food was excellent too...I hear all the burgers were awesome, chicken wings & the fish fry is also a must. We'll be back to sample more of the menu and give an update soon. Give this local establishment a try because you, your belly & your friends will all be happy you did. Support small business and keep it local!

Good food and great service here. It's close and convenient for us. We would go more often but the draft beers are never that cold :( Other than that it's a great place!

Food is good, but up charge for sweet potato fries and this is what is served? You rationing sweet potatoes now? Like half a dang potato? And with the fresh cut fries (which they forgot this time on the other entree) they give the same. Also did not give any salads with my wife’s fish.Consistency needs to be figured out. I feel like every time I order, I never know what to expect. It could be either best food, or gross. Customers pay money to get the proper quality product. If the product is not up to the high standards it should be, the product shouldn’t be served.

Ordered a 8 ounce steak it was as narrow as a mini A1 bottle and didn’t cook it the way I wanted then I sent it back and they cooked one rare. If you can’t cook a steak you shouldn’t be in a kitchen. For 17 dollars you might as well stay home and cook your own. im a vet and I’ll make sure to tell anyone and everyone to stay away but they can cook a burger so they have that.
