Very friendly great music wonderful food ample parking lot Look forward to returning here again, just to get a snack

Chicken Fried Ribeye... Burned to oblivion
Alethea A.

Holy Hell. I went here tonight and placed an order to go. It was OVER AN HOUR before I got my food. I watched order after order after order come out of the kitchen, but my order was still back there. I FINALLY got my order and I was so happy... Until I got home. I ordered the Chicken Fried Ribeye and it was so overcooked that it was inedible. The meat actually cracked apart when I put my fork in it. I was still optimistic that it was only that one piece that was cooked into oblivion, but sadly, I was wrong. I guess if you're going here for nachos or a drink then this is a good place to go. This was my very first time here and it will definitely be my last.

Eating area drinks and us

The food was great! Drinks even better we ate a late lunch and then came back for karaoke that evening now that was a blast and the host of the karaoke was even better. That man could sing! Service was friendly and we met all kind of great people there was just a really good atmosphere and even when full the service was still really good! Highly recommend for a night out or a lunch!

Grilled shrimp

What a FUN place. Drink specials even on weekends. Staff super friendly and efficient. This can be a super busy place when packed out. The band was just fun too. Very into the audience. This a true casual place! Lots of TVs on the walls and clean pool tables. Can be very loud but still very chill. Food was excellent, was truly not expecting it to be so good. Drinks certainly not watered down. For a laid back fun time-this is it.

Catfish Thursday Special

Came here because saw the special on FB 2 thick pieces of catfish and they weren't thick it's like they split the filet. The special is 12.50 but for some reason they charged me an extra .50 cents for 2 sauces I only needed tartar. The fish was very good though and they give you a lot of fries. The hush puppies were just ok. The service was not good I sat at the bar and the bar tender this night never once checked up on me had to get a server for a refill and my check. All in all the place is fun, they have TVs to catch sports and different stuff going on during the week.

Can't really see bar lighting is terrible but food still stuck to my knife and fork.

See all

The place is absolutely disgusting. There's dust caked on the ceiling fans and insulation falling from the ceiling.

Marina Magic with Minor Flaws…read more The Good: Breakwater delivers where it counts. The marina-side bar seating offers stunning waterfront views and prime people-watching. The fried redfish is exceptional--perfectly golden and flaky. The hush puppies are revelatory, possibly the best you'll find on the planet. Swirly Fries hit that perfect crispy-fluffy balance, and the Buffalo chicken sandwich brings serious flavor. The Not-So-Good: Skip the chicken wings--they're overfried and disappointing. More problematically, the patio fly situation is relentless. Bring your swatting skills or dine indoors. The Verdict: Despite minor kitchen missteps and pest control issues, Breakwater captures that magical combination of great food, killer views, and buzzing atmosphere. The hits far outweigh the misses, making this a marina gem worth visiting. 4/5 Stars - Exceptional waterfront dining with room for improvement.

It was very exciting news to hear that the restaurant at Canyon Lake Marina was being resurrected…read moreunder new management with a new menu after Baja Ice House was closed for the whole Spring/Summer 2023 season. Everyone around the lake was acting like that lady in the old Black Friday commercial, faces desperately pressed against the window, chanting "Open! Open! Open!" This weekend, our family had the pleasure to finally have a sit down meal at Breakwater Grill, and we enjoyed the experience and food. Hooray! Yes, this is lakeside dining at one of the very few spots with a lake view in this area, so you'll pay a premium for that (hence the 4/5 star rating). That's nothing new for this location. If you're on a tight budget, Breakwater may not be the best option. You *do* get complimentary chips and salsa when you are seated to dine, cash payments get a 3%-ish discount, and there are a few Happy Hour deals (M, W-F 3:30p-6p - $1 off domestic bottled beers, $4 house 'ritas, $3 well drinks, and $4 chips & queso). Otherwise, prices range as follows: cocktails $10-$12, beer $4.50-$7, appetizers $8-$18, sides $5, entrees $14-$17, and desserts $8-$10. We loved our meal and the service was great from hosts to waiter to servers. This was a lazy Sunday with a light crowd of lunchtime diners, so things could be different when the team is under a bit more pressure. We ordered 2 Queso Burgers and 1 Fried Redfish & Shrimp Plate. All came with Breakwater's unique "home style fries" that look like steak fries and kettle chips had a tasty baby; the cut of the potato comes out in a semi-scoop shape, perfect for dipping. The burgers include grilled, fresh jalapenos, which give such awesome flavor. The fried fish and shrimp were cooked perfectly, and as an SETX / Gulf Coast girl, I'm not easy to please. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the decadent funnel cake fries, a massive serving of crispy donut sticks covered in chocolate sauce, likely enough for at least 6 people. We hardly made a dent in those, but we took the rest home to refresh in the air fryer for a midnight snack. Good to know: - Closed on Tuesdays - Tons of TVs available both indoors and outside for watching the big game - Follow on social media to learn about special events such as live music on the outdoor deck - 2 Tesla EV parking spots available, as well as front row parking for motorcycles, and hitching posts for those on horseback (southside of the bocce court) - They *will* charge you extra for any change to the menu item. For example, my son didn't want the grilled peppers on his $17 Queso burger, so we asked for them "on the side" - our server didn't tell us that would result in a $1.29 upcharge :-(
