Waterman's Grill

Finally got to check out waterman's in my second home city (edenton) and gotta say it was the first time something in edenton has let me down. The positives:- The service was super friendly- our waitress was nice and attentive and we were seated quickly- the restaurant appeared to be fairly clean and spacious -the food came out as ordered -the waitress corrected the mistake by taking my meal off the bill, which made a huge difference -everyone else enjoyed their food The negatives-my meal (crab cake sandwich) came out about 10-15 mins after everyone else's -when I did finally get it, it was dry, burned, bland, and devoid of flavor (I assume that forgot it and speed cooked it under a press. This may have been the worst crab cake sandwich I've ever eaten, and this is a seafood restaurant, if I had paid for it I would have been livid.Overall: The crab legs & fish had good reviews, super friendly staff, but avoid the crab cake. Staff saved this and upped this to a 3 star review from an otherwise 1. I'll be back to try something different

Stopped in here on our last night in Edenton and had a great time. The food is great, the service is even better, and the location is fantastic. Definitely check it out!

If this restaurant was located in Raleigh, it would not survive. And since it is located on the water in NC, please learn how to cook seafood, guys! I had the broiled flounder, came with the skin on (ugh!) and with bones. My companion had his flounder fried. The batter was very thick and heavy. The applesauce was very good. Service was good. But be aware, your credit card is not welcome here: 3.5% up charge for using a card. They would be better served to add that to the price of the meal....oh yes, they already did that. The place has not had a renovation since it opened, it seems.

Everything was good here. Corn pudding was wonderful, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy were yummy. Fried grouper fish tacos were on point. Will return again. However, the view from the restaurant overlooking the water sucked even in the second floor windows.

This place is ok, nothing special. It's first impressions wasn't great. Our hostess couldn't even stand up or put her phone away and pretty much had us seat ourselves and then kind of threw the menus at us. When our waitress arrives she was super sweet and took great care of us. We started with the crab dip and it didn't really have a strong crab flavor. It kind of tastes store bought. I had the scallops with a Caesar salad and mashed potatoes. My food was good, but like I said, nothing special. I will say that I got a large portion of scallops for the price. My husband got the burger and he said that it was fine. I probably wouldn't come back. However, the inside of the restaurant was cute and really cozy and like I said, our waitress was the saving grace.

It has been several years since I have been to Edenton, NC and was thrilled to see Waterman's still downtown. Dinner was great and the service was excellent! It was nice to revisit an old favorite and find it still wonderful.

I have eaten here twice now, both times at the bar. The fish is outstanding. Everything is larger portions. Service is excellent! 10/10 would

We stopped in Edenton overnight and if you've never been to this absolutely gorgeous Southern Town you must go. I love it there. The place is all about fishing. Fishing. Anyhow, I forgot to take pictures but their seafood choices were great. My spouse ordered the catch of the day and it was excellent. We had some shrimp and they were good. I had crab cakes yummy and crablegs were ordered. All very tasty. Over-all we enjoyed our stay in Edenton immensely. Such a dreamy little place.

You would be better served to remove credit card use fee and recover cost you are charged by credit card company by increasing the price of the food. By the way.... Your seafood is not up to par for being a coastal city. The crab cake was bland. The fried flounder was too breaded. I recommend making sure the handrails to your upstairs seating area are securely fastened to the wall. Potential for a fall risk exists in your building.

I don't get a chance to go often, but when I do, it never disappoints! Went a few nights ago and got the Ribeye dinner. It was very good...perfect actually. The wait staff was super nice and attentive. I can't wait to go back soon
