We arrived in Edenton on our 6th day in NC. It surpassed all the superlatives we had heard, and our innkeeper, tour guide, and a local historian all separately recommended Waterman’s for dinner. So there was no doubt where we were going ! It was a Friday night, we had no reservations, but we arrived shortly after they opened at 4:30 and were seated right away at a great table. The service was great, the oysters superb. My crab cake was the best I’ve ever had, my wife enjoyed her broiled flounder immensely. The Gaelic Ale was great. I would recommend Waterman’s wholeheartedly if you’re in the area, we hope to return soon.
Always love coming here. Crab dip appetizer is awesome. Great fried flounder, Shrimp, and Sea Scallops. Rum Runners are good, and don't forget to get some Key Lime Pie.
Yum
This place was amazing. Incredible food for a really affordable price. I got a trough full of steamed crab, shrimp, and scallops while my wife got a crab cake the size of a Whopper. These came after a huge casserole dish of melty, cheesy, spinach and artichoke dip with great pita triangles. All for only $60.
Can't beat this place. We will definitely be back.
My husband and I celebrated his birthday here last night. We had great food and great service. This is our first time visiting Edenton and we were very happy that we chose this restaurant to celebrate. We will definitely come back.
Excellent place, location, and food. The waitperson is so helpful and kind. Flounder fish is fresh and tasty.
Wow...great place! We had the prime rib special and the fried shrimp. Everything was great including the sides (green beans, corn pudding, Cole slaw, and baked potatoes). Service was perfect.
We Heard good things about this place and we decided to give it a try. The experience was even better than expected! The portions were massive, I ordered the Flounder with baked potato and corn pudding and it could feed 2 people. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us frequently. Everything tasted great and the view of Main Street and the sunset from our window table was icing on the cake. Highly recommend and we will be returning next time we visit Edenton
Good service, good food! Lovely atmosphere. Steps away from attractions, only open for dinner. Happy to have found this spot!

As always, Waterman's didn't disappoint for tonight's dinner. Ordered fish tacos (delicious), my favorite fried oyster sandwich (cooked perfectly), fried shrimp (always a favorite), a huge burger (a big hit), and a bowl of crab and broccoli soup. If I had a complaint at all, it would be that Waterman's prices are way too high ($140).
The restaurant is quaint with a nautical flair, friendly and professional servers. We were surprised that at 7pm on a Friday night, we only had about a 15 minute wait.
A must for tourists and locals alike, definitely recommend.
First time at this restaurant and it was a good first impression. The atmosphere is great, our server was awesome. We had a big group and she kept up with no problem. I had the fish and chips and that was great. The fish and fries were nice and crispy. I also got the corn pudding and it's a must try kind of side. I wasn't sure what it was, but it didn't disappoint. My wife ordered the Waterman's trio with crab meat, shrimp, and scallops. All of the seafood was slightly overcooked and could have used more seasoning. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been better for the price. There is so many more options The prime rib special looked very good as well. I will go back and try some other items. It is a little pricey, so plan on spending $20-30 per person not including drinks. If you use a credit, you will be charged a 3.5% surcharge. Bring cash if you have it. It's worth giving it a try. Enjoy!

The ambiance was delightful, the food was amazing and cooked to perfection, and a bonus in my book is that I never saw the bottom of my glass. A HUGE thank you to our Server, Laura. She not only knew the menu and the specials, but has also eaten the food at Waterman's and knew what she liked as a suggestion. We will definitely be returning soon. The steamed super combo is amazing!
Staff was great the food was out of this world we ordered a bunch of things and it did not disappoint. Shrimp and grits great... Grouper special to die for seared tuna done perfect there wasnt a thing that wasnt enjoyable. The bartender makes great drinks and great conversation. Totally recommend.
This seemed to be a favorite for the locals (always a good sign). We were just passing through and wanted to stop somewhere for a good dinner. There was a line out the door before they even opened. We were greeted at the door with the waitresses gloating about how they were looking forward to tonight's specials and immediately seated. The staff was personable, the food was delicious, and the service was quick. Everything on the menu was reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend Waterman's Grill! The town is adorable too with local shops and museums. I will definitely return next time we are in the area.
Friendly staff, great drinks, good food portions, GREAT prime rib 💜
