The food was cold, the server asked us to go somewhere else because their kitchen was a mess. They put shrimp in my brother’s Alfredo, he’s allergic. We got there at 6:40 only 2 out of 6 got our food. I do not recommend. The music was good tho.

The service was nice. The atmosphere was nice, clean, and comfortable. The food portions were very good, but my food was all burned. The fish was burned, sweet potato fries burned, onion strips extra greasy, and the food had no seasoning...just not tasty at all. Because of the portion s the price was fair, but because of the taste, it was a waste of money.

Great local restaurant and bar. First time visiting and we definitely enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and engaging. We enjoyed some good karaoke while sampling a few appetizers and a very good main course. We enjoyed the blackwater bites and cajun chips with seafood dip appetizers. The main course was blackened red fish and boiled shrimped platter and both were outstanding in both taste and quantity. I’ve seen a lot of reviews about the price being high but it is absolutely not overpriced and the prices we paid were very fair. We definitely will be back again to sample more great food and enjoy some good karaoke.

Accidentally found this place, hidden behind lake serene grocery but it’s like finding a treasure chest! It’s a fun atmosphere, excellent service, food is good just a little pricey! Karaoke was entertaining but they just need to play something besides country music. I will definitely be coming
A friend and myself dined at Black Waters restaurant and enjoyed every two and a half hours of our experience. We went on a Thursday around 7pm and there was live music. The chef came to our table and asked how things were. How welcoming! Plan on dining there soon for the redfish. Thanks!

The worst service I have ever experienced. We had a party of 12, 7 of us are servers and 2 work in the restaurant business. Of the bat the sever was the rudest server. Inconvenienced by our presence. We called ahead to let them know we were coming and if we were such an inconvenience they should have told us they cannot accommodate us. This explains the reason they have no business. The list can go on and on about all the bad things that happened and about this place. No wonder they have to put 20% gratuity on there or they would make no money. That server doesn’t deserve a cent. On top of that they tried to make us pay for food that we had to send back due to a hair being in the food, which we didn’t want replaced. Also tried to charge us of pickles that we never received. If you choose to go here good luck you’ll get terrible service and leave highly unhappy.

Went here for raw oysters only. They came out on a plate for hot food with ice melted almost completely. Our oysters were room temp at best. And they had some kinda green stuff sprinkled all over them. Raw oysters literally has to be the easiest dish to fix. Open them and sit them in plenty of ice. Optional toppings on the side. Very simple. We told the waitress they were warm. She says she'll tell guy in back. He pokes his head from the kitchen...That's all. We paid and left. Never again...warm raw oysters ?
Very impressed with the grilled red fish awesome flavor.

Love this restaurant because of the AMAZING bartender MJ! She’s such a delight every time we go in! Karaoke is fun on Thursday, but we come back for the awesome service!

I've now eaten at this place over a dozen times and can confirm it's a hidden gem. A lot of places have gone through this location. None of them as good as this one. Not everything on the menu is amazing, but the stuff that is good, is extremely good. Let's start with the best:-The burger is literally the best burger you will find in Hattiesburg. It's so good it doesn't even need condiments. It's the quality of the ingredients that make the difference.-The grilled fish - every thing here is very good and the sides are also excellent. Fresh grilled asparagus, grilled green beans, full loaded baked potatoes. They do it right here. No short cuts. Nothing out of a can or premade.These are the two best categories on the menu in my opinion, but the rest of the menu is also solid. The Steak Tips with the creole sauce are great. The fried seafood is solid (but I with the tartar sauce was a bit better quality). The shrimp boil is great, even better now that they added flavored butter options. I've explored the menu pretty throughly and never had anything I'd consider bad. But trust me on the burgers. They are amazing. Best in the area, hands down.-
