Waterway Cafe

Before arriving into the West Palm area, we research restaurants, and this came highly recommended and rated.

If driving, don’t be in a rush to get there like me as you’ll go right pass the driveway. 😂 They have adequate parking. We dined at 5pm, and even during their Happy Hours, we were able to park close. Didn’t see valet, but they do have a large pull up area.

Reservations - Since they have multiple choices of dining, indoor, partial roof, and outside, I recommend making reservations for your preferred dining setting. We sat outside and with reservations were taken to our table immediately upon arrival.

Our waiter (Jasmine) was very attentive to our needs and was checking in throughout our time. Whether refills, ensuring table was clean, to accommodating our 2 kids, the service was phenomenal.

Menu - There is something for everyone. We tried a few things on the dinner menu: Blasted Shrimp (Bang Bang), Buffalo Chicken Fingers, Chicken Caesar Salad, Rigatoni Pasta, Lobster and Shrimp Fried Rice.

*Check for Happy Hours and Specials.

Atmosphere- The restaurant sits on the inlet, as boats pass coming in and going out. Very peaceful and no speeding boats going pass. You can walk the dock. They do have a pull up dock for those arriving via boat/watercraft.

Overall, a definite yes 👍🏾 upon our return to the area. Great vibe just minutes away from beach, but with that on the water vibe.

Newly renovated! Love it here. Enjoy your drinks or meal while watching boats. Great service today! The Manager said hello and checked on us a few times. Nice music and ambience. Plenty of parking. Loved the new decor!

I came here for lunch with my husband and I’m glad we did. It was very spacious inside but we chose to sit outside under the covered area to enjoy the mild weather and the overall experience. The view was nice, the food was really good and the drinks were tasty. I will definitely be back.

Loving our time at the Waterway Cafe, Josh (out server) us amazing. Jim (manager) met us at the boat, greeted and assisted us with tying off, getting our table and being comfortable.
Brought our family out for an amazing day on the water, a phenomenal lunch and great time. Waterway Cafe made it happen.
We are thankful for the amazing experience and great meal

Pretty view of the water & delicious food! This was our first time here for date night but we will definitely be back. The blackened mahi was amazing, as well as the beet salad. Large portion sizes! Definitely recommend!

Just had my daughters bridal shower at Waterway Cafe. What a great experience. The wait staff was amazing. Best I have ever had. Everything came out perfectly timed, food was excellent. They served 35 people without a hitch. Angie the manager was so accommodating. I would certainly recommend anyone to have an event here.

This is a nice restaurant. They have a huge parking lot and it's right on the water with the windows open. You should probably call ahead no matter when you go, I bet it's always pretty busy. We went for mother's day. Got the Margherita pizza, calamari and shrimp for apps and around the table we had swordfish, gumbo, fish fry, salmon. It was really good. Service was fast considering. I felt bad for the waiter Seth he was really working it. Thanks!! It was nice.

Wow. Just wow! We got there 5 minutes before Happy Hour was over and we managed to order drinks and entrees and benefit from the great price. Great choice of wines and cocktails, mouth watering appetizers and entrees and the desserts! OMG! Nelson was our server and couldn't have been nicer and Bret, the owner, came by to check that everything was ok. Loved the whole experience: (Panko crusted salmon and chocolate and peanut butter cake for dessert - highly recommended).
Note: Thursday nights they have live music and dancing AND you don't need to have your car valet parked - just pass the valet line and go to the self-parking area.
I can't wait to go back. Enjoy!

Great place with water and bridge views. Amazing floating Tiki Bar as well where you can stop by for a drink 🍻 if you are boating 🛥.

The place was established in 1986 with an extensive menu that has something for each one. No bottomless drinks any day, but nice happy hours are on the weekdays.

We tried the fried shrimps appetizer and the grilled Mexican-style ones that were outstanding. Grilled steak salad and Seafood Gumbo where very good.

Service was attentive. We will be back..

So, this 60 year old Cards fan and her 80 year-old mother recommended this place to me today and... I wish there was a way to thank them. Don't go anywhere else of you haven't tried this place--it's awesome. Fast service, food is properly cooked and fresh. Our waitress made a few recommendations that we tried and loved--
Appetizer: Blasted Shrimp was just perfect mix if you like something hot or Their Crab Cake was great.
Entre: Seafood Rigatoni--I was skeptic because scallops have to be perfect to make this dish and I loved it. The sauce is sweet.
Also I tried the Blackened Bass, which they don't always have, but it was also good.
They have specials through the week and discounts, but it was great quality for the price value. Enjoy!

Wonderful service from walking in.
On my way to airport and needed a water view stop-off for a couple hours.
Ladies at the front desk were amazingly hospitable and took care of my luggage.
Abraham outside was awesome.
Ordered slightly off menu with some Buffalo shrimp and Abraham recommended the mahi wrap which was also very good.
Rum runner and beer sitting on the water before flying north.
Doesn’t get much better.
Thanks everyone.

The food here was extremely good. The view of the Intercoastal Waterway was ok, do to the construction on the other side. The waitress didn't tell me the desert I ordered was enough for four..but it was tasty!

Absolutely amazing! Super chill atmosphere. We went with friends and the waiter knew exactly what he was doing, had good recommendations on the menu and knew who had ordered what meal when bringing them out, he was very tentative to our drinks and continued to replace them when they were low. The food (I had some ribs, fries and blacked chicken sandwich) was delicious as were the desserts and they were HUGE and perfectly sized to share amongst 6 of us, still had left over cake too
Love that it's on the water, boats were passing by and some docked to eat in as well.

Great restaurant- excellent food.

Staff was great and very helpful.

I had the fish fry - delicious and my wife had the chicken.

Parking is easy.

This place is great! One of the coolest things about this place is that you can come on a boat and dock the boat there. It is a very large restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining. The food is also delicious! I recommend getting the lettuce wedge and adding shrimp. It was delicious! Check this place out!

This may be my favorite restaurant in the Palm Beach Gardens area. They have everything for a single diner all the way to large groups. You can enjoy the boats going by and the drawbridge raising when needed along with a delicious seafood dinner or just a hamburger if that is what you like. Most tables can see the water. The staff is very friendly and the bartenders are quick to get you a drink. I haven’t had a bad meal there yet. The cocktails are delicious. My only gripe would be the beer selection. It is not long and could be better. With that said, I won’t stop going there. Thanks for being awesome.

The food was excellent. I enjoyed everything I tasted and ate. Our party ordered 6 different adult drinks, all of which were delicious. We ordered apps, entrées, and desserts. The atmosphere is wonderful and something very special. Being out on the water made it all the better. Our server was super quick, friendly, and did a great job.

Love the dining experience there. Yesterday I ordered Chef's special Mango, habanero Salmon, it was delicious. Chocolate lava cake was delicious too. All the food that we ordered was delicious.

Amazing water front view. Had a Cuban Sandwich to share with my sweetheart and it was delicious. You have to try this place. Jessica was our server and she made sure everything was just right. This is a spot we like to visit when we're in the area. Will surely be back again. Make sure to sit outside because its so worth it. Enjoy the photos of some of the lovely boats that passed us by as we enjoyed our lunch.

Visited with a large group of friends and they made sure we could all sit together by putting together tables. The food was great and I recommend the shaved Brussels sprouts salad and add shrimp! Everyone enjoyed their meals and big thanks to our server Hardley for taking care of us.
