“I live in Raleigh but like to visit Little Washington a few times a year. The Hackney has been on my "to-eat" list, and I finally made it there. I am so glad that I did. It is an Autumn approved restaurant.The historic building is beautiful & was restored very nicely. The space has great energy. I loved the music that they were playing & the big windows.The food was delish! I had the fish & chips. The tartare hollandaise was amazing. I am still thinking about it days later. For dessert, I had vanilla creme brulee which is one of my favorites. It was very well done. I had the New Year, New Mule cocktail to go with it. The cocktail was so tasty. I didn't think that I was really a gin fan, but I would totally order that drink again.After my meal, Chef Davis came out to ask me how everything was & chatted with me for a few minutes. That was classy & made my day. He is good people.I will definitely be going back to The Hackney for a second visit. I love supporting local establishments that excel at what they do. I will encourage others to visit as well.Parking: There is street parking right out front, or there is a parking lot a few blocks away. Both are free.Kid-friendliness: I love kids but wouldn't bring them here. This is a grown up experience.“
“My Auntie and I went to "Little Washington" to visit our Aunt, who is in a nursing facility. While visiting were extremely hungry. We drive around looking for seafood. I finally pulled over and googled restaurants in the area. Lo and behold, we found Backwater Jacks & decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. Friendly employees, good service, food was on the table within 15 minutes. Shrimp basket with fries. Yummy to our tummies. Food was freshly cooked and piping hot, just like I like it. I/we will definitely revisit there again. Indoor & outdoor seating. Perfect view of the river across the street. Nice atmosphere. I definitely recommend!Parking: We parked in front of the restaurant very close to the entrance. Even if we did have to walk a little it would have been fine because it's on the waterfront“
“Pizza is either "well done on the verge of burnt and usually has way too much cheese on it. Makes it to heavy and soggy. Otherwise, it's a great little place with wonderful service and a big menu selection. ? Worth the trip, but just avoid the pizza unless you like it over done done with too much cheese.“
“I came in with my family and had an absolutely wonderful experience. It was my first time dining at this restaurant and I will most definitely be coming back again!! Our server Mary was fantastic! Attentive, helpful, and very polite. The location is very charming. If you come to eat here, which I highly recommend, request Mary as your server, she is wonderful!“
“Great experience great drinks good atmosphere great customer service food was fresh and hot my wife’s food was perfect mine wasn’t to my liking but that’s doesn’t mean it wasn’t correct I’m just use to more flavor and heat and it seemed little bland and oily I got quesabirra “
“This is my seafood market now! Great prices. Snow crab legs were huge and grouper was so delicious fried in their Atkinson’s Seafood seasoning I bought from there. I’d give more stars if was available. Don’t wipe out my supply from this Review. I’ll be going back shortly“
