Real Customer Service Is More Than Just a Web Form

Scratch Kitchen: Everything Made Fresh, Except the French Fries
One of the biggest things that sets The Waterfront Restaurant apart is our dedication to being a true scratch kitchen. That means we make nearly everything from scratch, ensuring the highest quality and best flavors.
Of course, we’ll be honest—our French fries are the one exception. But when you taste our house-made sauces, fresh seafood, and handcrafted entrées, you’ll quickly understand why we put so much care into everything else.
Yes, We Serve Real Gulf Shrimp
Unlike other places that claim to serve fresh seafood while sourcing shrimp from overseas, we serve actual Gulf shrimp. That means sweet, succulent shrimp caught right in the Gulf of Mexico, not farmed or imported. It’s a difference you can taste, and it’s one of the reasons why our seafood dishes stand out from the rest.
