Amazing food overlooking, one of the many lakes in this beautiful development. The waitress who I would love to leave her name ( but won't because the interest is crazy) so everyone knew how great she was polite fun and welcoming like it was her home. Keep in mind this place is only open for lunch to non-members of the development! I bet dinner is even better but lunch was worthy of 6 stars.

Backwater Bill's is consistently excellent. It's impossible to make a bad decision, but my favorites are the crab soup, wedge salad, and prime burger or black and blue chicken sandwich. Chef Andy is one of Hampton Lake's many treasures. The special theme nights are always fantastic, and he is always out on the floor, just to make sure it is. Excellent food, service, and prices.

Backwater Bills is a little secret you all need to know about. Located in Hampton Lake, Backwater Bills is open to the public. The atmosphere is lake-like and dress is informal. Grab a seat at the window and enjoy a view of Hampton Lake while enjoying food and drinks from the best, and moderately priced menus in Bluffton/Hilton Head. The employee define service and friendliness, and drinks from the bar are perfect! A note to all, if you are not a resident, or member, there is an 18% up charge, but it is worth the experience and food at Backwater Bills.

Was lucky enough to be staying with someone who lives in the community. What a fun place. Staff was incredible, patrons were very friendly. Talk about a great community amenity. Wide variety of drinks and food. Try the Argy Bargy martini, you won't be disappointed.
