BlackWater Restaurant

I've now eaten at this place over a dozen times and can confirm it's a hidden gem. A lot of places have gone through this location. None of them as good as this one. Not everything on the menu is amazing, but the stuff that is good, is extremely good. Let's start with the best:

-The burger is literally the best burger you will find in Hattiesburg. It's so good it doesn't even need condiments. It's the quality of the ingredients that make the difference.

-The grilled fish - every thing here is very good and the sides are also excellent. Fresh grilled asparagus, grilled green beans, full loaded baked potatoes. They do it right here. No short cuts. Nothing out of a can or premade.

These are the two best categories on the menu in my opinion, but the rest of the menu is also solid. The Steak Tips with the creole sauce are great. The fried seafood is solid (but I with the tartar sauce was a bit better quality). The shrimp boil is great, even better now that they added flavored butter options. I've explored the menu pretty throughly and never had anything I'd consider bad. But trust me on the burgers. They are amazing. Best in the area, hands down.

This was the first time we had been here before and I can definitely say we will be back. Although they are a little pricey we definitely enjoyed our food and drinks. Our waitress was also very nice and made sure we where good every time she walked by. My one complaint would be with the seafood plater is was more French frys than anything and we didn't find out till after we got out food that they where out of stuffed crabs. But all in all we will definitely be back.
