So we found ourselves visiting family for Christmas this week in Melbourne, Florida former stomping…read moregrounds of Jim Morrison for you Doors fans. We got up early on Christmas Eve and opted to find a cool breakfast place. After a few minutes in Yelp, we found Backwater which is nestled in Historic Downtown Melbourne. Parking should not be a problem but if you can't find some on your he street their is a public parking garage not to far away. Upon arrival we were seated pretty quickly and all the staff were very friendly. Our server Amy was awesome and recommended a few breakfast items that were awesome. We opted for the Greek breakfast and the Cuban Benedict which were both fresh and excellent. We also split their seasonal Cinammon pancake as well which was great as well. Pancakes are huge so make sure you leave some room if you plan on having one. All portions were healthy as well, no skimping at Backwater and everyone was in the Christmas spirit as well which was awesome! The atmosphere is friendly, laid back and welcoming which is great if you are from out of Town. So if you are in the area, make sure you check them out for breakfast or lunch. I am sure you will not be disappointed! So in fact he spirit of the holiday I will adjust my customary ending to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a prosperous and blessed Happy New Year to all of you! Enjoy and Bon Appétit mes amis!

After ordering, I sat down and saw that you could get $5 an order of $20 if you ordered via their app. I had put my phone number in for points, but it seemed to be a different system than the app, because nothing showed up on the app. The food came out in spurts: first was the kimchi fried rice. It was pretty tasty with pork belly bites and crispy rice. We got the curry pork katsu, a chicken sandwich, ttekkboki, and chicken tender fries. The curry pork katsu seemed to be the best deal, nice and crispy. The chicken sandwich was just okay and disappointing that it doesn't come with fries. The chicken tenders and fries were pretty bland, but it was good when dipped in the ttekkboki sauce. The rice cakes and fish cakes in the ttekkboki were decent, but the sauce overall could've had a little more kick. Bathroom were nice and clean and the staff was very friendly.

Today we tried the smashburgers and hush puppies. Very good. good flavor and the bun was very soft and delicious.

While waiting for our made to order food we were offered samples of hand packed ice cream and were given a little sampler of the fried catfish, potato wedges and fried mushrooms.

Been wanting to try this place but tend to forget to come by. Facility: this is a small place located in a strip mall. There is booth seating and tables and chairs. There's even a little bar corner that has 3 tall bar seats. Ordering is a little confusing as the counter is not the place you go to... that's only if you are paying. Instead it's over by the buffet serving section. Then you go back to that counter to pay. Service: The lady was polite. She seemed overworked as she is the one taking orders, making food, helping tables, and checking people out. It took about 15 minutes to get my food. Be warned they are only open Wed through Sunday and their hours change most days, but it's like 12-5pm. Food: I ordered two lunch specials ... Chicken leg with Cole slaw and beans for my grandma.... I didn't try the sides, but the chicken looked amazing and a little sauce got on my finger and it was very good. I got the catfish 4.5/5, potato salad 3/5, and some extra sides to check them out... cabbage 4/5, fried okra 5/5 and mac and cheese 3.5/5. We also got mini sweet potato pie 4.5/5 and some peach cobbler (my grandma is saving this for tonight). Overall: This place is good. I will be back to try more things.

Had the bone in and honey bbq sauce. Then it hit me. Whew a bit spicy for honey bbq. Made it through four of the six. Turns out if you want bone in you have to have the ghost pepper wings. Oh man. Not good for me. Read the fine print on the menu.
