Blackwater Cafe is just off Market Street, the main route through downtown Pocomoke City. Unfortunately, this slightly off beat location means folks have to go looking for it a bit. They also lack a website. So for now at least, there are few crowds to worry about. This is unfortunate because they serve up some pretty good lunch fare.
My sandwich, the '38 Special, had excellent ham, bacon, apples, and other ingredients creating an interesting flavor combination. My sisters were with me and they also enjoyed their sandwiches. You could tell the ingredients used were quality.
The setting needs a little work. The main dining room is nicely appointed and seems light and airy but the adjoining, larger room is dark, dank, and strangely decorated (see the life-size Native American in the corner, staring you down).
Prices are about average for a nice lunch.
This is a great place and a nice addition to downtown Pocomoke City. It would be great to see this place succeed, but they need to make more efforts to market themselves better and make their interior a bit more welcoming. It's definitely worth a lunch to try it out. read more
