Visited on 5/3/2013 for dinner. A friend wanted a waterfront restaurant so we chose this place. Food is average, drinks are average, service is average. We did sit on the water with a great view! This is the same as all other waterfront places in Florida, average food at best. There is no reason for me to go here again,... More

We go to the Waterway often. Always outside in the tiki area. You have a great view, good cocktails and the $6 menu is awesome. At the weekend it's a great place to people watch, especially those on the boats that dock by the bar.

We had eaten here several times in the past and decided on Mothers Day brunch. Nothing was memorable-not the food, service or layout of the buffet. I must say that in all the years I have eaten brunch or buffets I have never had no choice of egg beaters, egg whites or whole eggs at any other establishment at the... More

The view is lovely and just the kind of restaurant you want to eat at on vacation -- for the view and atmosphere. Not so much the actual food. It's okay, just nothing special. Seems like quite a hit w/ the blue haired set at the early dinner hour, but you'd probably be hard pressed to find a place without... More

Food is Mediocre at best. Very generic. Fish dips, counch fritters (bread balls), shrimp. Usual touristy trap. Way too pricey for what you get.

IMO, one of the positive things about a restaurant is consistency - you can count on it. Have been visiting friends in Jupiter for several years and a stop here is mandatory. It has never disappointed. Honest, not "iced down martinis" and great food - all four of us were very happy with our selections. Even though they removed one... More

Had a late lunch, had a blackened Dolphin sandwich that was very good, service was so so, kind of pricey for just a lunch sandwich. $25 a piece for a sandwich and an unsweet tea, but the view was good.

Nice place to visit friends and bring the children for lunch. Nice view of the water, the kids got to watch the boats and fisherman while we adults could chat and eat. I had an amazing crab cake sandwich! Yummy! It was so good! There was a nice breeze and relaxed atmosphere....it has a "Florida feel" to it with memorabilia... More

This is a good restuarant with a great location in the North Palm Beach Area. It is not fancy, but a great place to stop and grab a bite and enjoy the intracostal waterway. Being right on PGA you have gret views of the bridge going up and down and there is usually a lot of boat traffic. The food... More
