Breakwater Grille

I really don’t like giving bad reviews but this is my 2 nd time trying this new management and menu and I was very underwhelmed! Amazing view!! Could be such a better experience. Patio was dirty from looking up at the covering to the same trash I saw on the concrete last week!? Maybe very young staff could be cleaning when there’s nothing to do? They were very nervous but pleasant and trying at least. The fish tacos were ok but this Philly cheesesteak?! Overcooked and I’ve never had one so lacking. And side salad.maybe add a few carrots strips or a tomato to dress it up or something! Not that hard or expensive to do. The Pina colada was yellow not white??And tasted like pineapple juice with a little rum poured on top. The DJ inside was so loud no one can talk to each other. Felt sorry for the older folks I saw eating in there. I really don’t like leaving negative reviews it sucks. It’s just very sad overall to see what potential it has and how it doesn’t make me want to ever go back. Would have gone to the restaurant upstairs but had tank top and flip flops on so didn’t think we would be welcomed. Sorry but had to be honest. Hope it improves for the communities sake

We were out from Freedom Boat Club docks at Waterpoint Marina. Kim and I docked inside Safe Harbor Marina near Breakwater Grille. Freedom Boat Club has boats and offices at the Marina. It was a great day ....Went fishing 🎣 at several spots and had fun on the Harris Tritoon You can also get to Breakwater Grille and the Waldon Community ClubHouse/Pool by using the land route at the end of Melville Drive Happy Hour is 2 to 4 pm... I am posting the revised Menu with some of the specials. They have lots going on weekly this fall 🍁 🍂

It’s a great atmosphere and beautiful view. We walked in at 6:50 and left at 7:45 without ever being acknowledged when the waitress walked by 4 times who ran the section. We were patient because we both have worked in the service industry so we understand so we went up to the bar and asked if we could order there the waiter was very helpful and told us he get someone to our table he let our waitress know and we waited another 15 minutes before we finally decided to leave. Very disappointed as in our first time in the area and it was for our anniversary

We were looking for food around 9 pm one night and options on the lake were pretty limited.We saw the menu online that said veggie burger. NOPE!! It's an outdated menu. There is no veggie burger. Service here was great, parking adequate. Melissa, is really nice as well as the other young lady. BUT the fish tacos were the most tasteless I've ever had. My husband, who eats anything said his salad was questionable, The blooming onion was only edible on the top. The best thing we had was the chips and salsa and fries. So if you're out late looking for a meal skip this place and find something in Conroe. I cannot recommend.

Stopped for lunch, nice dock to tie up your boat. Friendly, quick service. Never had onions on a club sandwich, but it was super yummy! And the homemade chips!! We will definitely be back!

I would however give a 5 star for the waiter he really tried and was very pleasant and polite... Alcoholic drinks lack the alcohol in them the margarita was terrible no flavor. Food was OK nothing memorable, onion rings were soggy, humus lacked the flavor and needed lemon... I did good by ordering a turkey sandwich.. even the water tasted funky.... not impressed... won't recommend it or come back

Bartender mark is amazing. But the staff outside is horrible. Sat down and 15-20 mins went by no one came and said hi or can I help you. Walked around with menu still no body helped or even said hi. Outside staff needs to be better waitress walked by me 3-4 times not even saying a word. Will not be back unless open seat at bar for mark to take care of us. Worst place for outside service.

Great location with beautiful views! Food options are good for bar food. Service was great. Will definitely return.

Great setting overlooking Lake Conroe. A wide variety of tables and benches and very dog and family friendly. They have been going through a renovation so the menu has been limited to grilled burgers and chicken. They should be fully operational again soon. Menu is still like an upscale snack bar. Our only issue is the service can be slow, but hey you are chilling on the lakefront.

Great and beautiful atmosphere with super attentive staff and delicious food. Daily specials and very reasonable prices on drinks and food, weekends they have live music and the outdoor is spacious. Gabby, Sam, Dana, Fabio and Dylan are superb and helpful with the menu and suggestions. This is a gem in the area of Lake Conroe/Montgomery for sure!

I wish I could rate it higher since I am a long time resident, but this place needs major renovations, update their food menu, and hire staff that is aware that you are a guest that wants to get some service.

Had lunch there today. Not many people were there but the service was really slow. I had the hotdog and tater tots it was lack luster, the LARGE hot dog was by all means not any larger than a normal hotdog from the grocery store. The tots were few the folks I went with had the same complaints. A bit overpriced for what we were served, at best the small hotdog should be less than 5$. Ridiculous, not sure what they have been working on but left us very unimpressed. Probably won't go back. Sad really.

I'm calling BS on your website listed hours. Our first time out with our boat this year. Docked at the designated spot on the water. Walked up to your place. Was told no food; just bar. Then change your website! And by the way, even when you are open for food, you just lost a customer!

bad service and bad food . Nice spot but that's it. Order came out wrong , drinks were wrong,

Stopped by the Breakwater Grill and had a great BloodyMary made by a really great young lady named Samantha. She really made the 11 am experience great. Thanks for the memory and best of everything to you, krj

You Cinco De Mayo was on point yesterday. Well done. We love this business for its location, fair prices and service (most of the time ).

New in the neighborhood. So we went there on a Thursday evening had a good crowd. Menu was small regular bar food. We ordered fried pickles to start then ordered street tocas and quesadillas the food portions were good. Food had really good flavoring and came out quick. Will definitely go back.

We came to Breakwater on a Sunday, they were not prepared for a large group and unfortunately were understaffed. The alcohol mix drinks weren't very good and it took forever to get food. Definitely would not recommend for large groups. Probably just a nice place for someone who just wants a beer in a can.

Brought the kids up on a Sunday night recently and they had a ball playing outside while my wife and I enjoyed the Sunset on the Lake! Food is good bar food and service was super friendly definitely will be going back! Fast, affordable and good spot for families! Beautiful Lake Views!

What a great casual place to have a drink and inexpensive meal! Views of the lake are amazing here. Service is friendly and fun. Lots of food and drink specials on different days of the week. Tuesday Birria tacos were pretty tasty.

The food here is mediocre at best. The prices are great, mostly because they subsidize all the losses with my neighborhood association dues. The service is absolutely terrible. The bartenders don't know how to make real drinks, the servers are all kids, and the attitudes are all poor. It is also falling apart inside... They have some sort of external air conditioning unit now hooked up that looks like it belongs in a disaster recovery zone.

Great location with nice people and inexpensive decent food! What else do you want these days?

Been hearing about this place & decided to drop by. Great service from "Corbett?" The atmosphere was relaxing and had a super chill vibe. I can't begin to tell you how great it was to go there after a long trying week! The burger & coconut shrimp were great, not at all greasy tasting! Cheese sticks also crisp and not -greasy- sadly we stuffed ourselves and went ahead and got the funnel cake fries & tres leche & again ...NONE of it disappointed! It began to downpour when we were seated outside, staff quickly accommodated us and helped us move inside. Lots of happy smiles from customers and bar was chill. The drinks are stiff and everything was reasonably priced. Only downside to this place was the loud, incessant cursing from the pre-teen, unsupervised boys next door in the pool (which this grill has no control over). Once they left, it was back to super chill! Love this place and definitely going back!

Breakwater is our go to on the weekends. Fabio is the most hospitable manager and always makes us feel welcome! The menu has plenty of choices to make everyone happy! I love the grilled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries and my husband's go to is the burger and fries. Last weekend I had the grilled chicken wrap and it was delicious! They always have the game on and cool AC! Weekends have live music and the best sunset view on the lake!

I was wary of trying this place out because of the messaging of bad service but nonetheless, it was a walk away from our condo. Upon arrival there was the only waitress cutting limes at the bar. We went outside and were promptly asked what we would like to drink. There were some $4 Labor Day cocktails that didn't taste like any liquor touched the cup and then some $3 beer cans. We stuck with the beer after the Lemon Drop punch and the Tequila Sunrise punch. I ordered Buffalo wings with celery and carrots as well as shoestring fries with Cajun seasoning. When the waitress brought out the Buffalo wings, she forgot the fries. When she came back with the fries, they were not seasoned. I understand we went when it opened and two other families strolled in but there's a lot to be done here...

So....let me start by saying we were here Thursday evening and had great service. Not so much tonight. Our waitress who encouraged both positive & negative feedback on FB was Felicia. Be noted that we were her only table. One table left shortly after we arrived and another didn't stay when they saw the scaled down weekend menu. Here's the feedback you requested. The issues we had were she was not knowledgeable about the BWG specific drinks , despite numerous attempts to understand her explanations and requests for clarification, she never asked someone to help her with the items I asked about and she was very inattentive. The first time I asked if she could explain the sangrias she told me to hold on and she walked off where she proceeded to socialize for a long time. I finally caught her eye and she came over and asked me if I had decided what I wanted to drink. I reminded her that I wanted to know about the sangrias. She seemed surprised then began, rather incoherently, rattling off various liquors in the punches. I, again, reminded her that I was asking for sangria and she responded, oh yea there's red and white. What I wanted to know was what fruits and ingredients were in the sangrias...specifically the BWG sangria. There's no way for me to know what's in that unless I'm told. After a long unclear explanation she brought 2 samples...neither one was the BWG sangria. I gave up and ordered the same happy hour punch I drank Thursday evening. We watched the bartender make my punch then watched Felicia socializing with a bunch of staff members again for a long time. When she got to our table she said in amazement, they haven't brought your drink out? She went and retrieved it, then claimed in had just finished being made. Uh, nope, we watched it sitting there. We asked for the check after that. When she brought the check she charged the regular prices versus the happy hour prices, as requested. Now, this is what really turned me off....she expressed surprise and made a comment along the lines of, oh well I'll change it the whatever to make you happy. Uh, well I'm just asking for the price listed on the happy hour board. She finally asked someone for help with the check and it was determined that she needed a manager to fix the error. She came to our table and told us she needed the manager to address the issue and to change the price for us. The tone she used seriously felt like we had done something wrong. We did not. The manager told us she rang it up wrong. Ringing it up wrong in itself is no big deal...the response to fix it was my concern. When we paid our check she reminded us that she was new...she started last week. I get it...bring new is tough, however, there are 4 punches & 4 sangrias on the happy hour menu. By putting them on the HH menu you are advertising them and want customers to choose them. That being said...it's the wait staffs responsibility to KNOW them. And if you forgot, no biggie...ask someone. This experience was rough. I'm glad we went Thursday because that helps us realize there can be good service there...just not from Felicia tonight.

The view is great! Holidays there can be fun. However, The service (or it's the kitchen) is hit or miss.

Typical frozen bar food but good. Friendly service and prices very reasonable. We visit weekly.

We go here often. Good food, good drinks, good atmosphere. Right on the lake with an open field for kids to run around.

Always feel welcomed when I come here. Good food, reasonable prices, and amazing service. Thankyou Felicia!

Lake view and seating, life music on weekends and delicious food. Highly recommended this place. Prices are great to.

Love going here, just moved to Walden and it's awesome! Good prices for food and drinks. A great place and atmosphere to go for a quick snack or meal, and right on the water :)

I don't care what anybody says about this little spot, the food is amazing. Service sometimes is sacrificed when a place is either short-staffed or just busy, but the food is fantastic. I don't do a lot of reviews, but I feel I have to, because they deserve much better ratings! LOVE THIS SPOT!! Best empanadas, best shrimp cocktail on the water! I recommend this place 100%.

Terrible service, great cheap food. This is the THIRD time I've walked up to the counter and have been blatantly ignored. Bartender sucks, the drinks are trash.

Awful service. Walked out after waiting 20mins for two drinks. They weren't even busy. The manager had to tell the employees standing around that they had a table. Then someone finally came over. Took our order of two drinks , bar took about ten mins before making them. Then they sat for another 7 mins before the waitress came out of kitchen eating, to then stand around and talk and ignore the only two drinks waiting to be taken to a table. At that point we decided to spend our money somewhere else. Looking at the other reviews I think we needed Javier as our server to have an enjoyable time.

Great place to eat good food good service. It's a little small but a very nice view with seating outside next to the lake

The worst service in Walden...who ever the owner is, I feel for. They are definitely losing money. The entire staff is either eating food in the back Kitchen or the waitress is busy talking to her friends. And the bartender was never seen. Great location but a waste of a restaurant.

Great casual spot right on the lake! Standard bar food fare and good prices on cold beer. I enjoy sitting outside by the water. Service has always been great even on busy nights. Carly was our server this time. She's nice, attentive, and helped us out with July 4th recommendations since we are new to the area.

A waited wearing a George Springer Astros jersey is an amazing runner, he was very attentive and helped with every need.

We were here a couple of weeks ago on a Friday night. There was live entertainment outside. Very good and entertaining! He really played for and with the crowd. The food was fine for an outdoor venue. Picnic tables were great for burgers and fries. You can't be disappointed by the fabulous view of the lake. Our service was good, prices were reasonable, but we were sold on the outdoor venue. It's a great place to take the kids and enjoy a family evening. Look forward to going again soon.

Great atmosphere Food and drinks are great! Can't beat the view. Always have music playing, fun for the family and to watch a game.

Came to have dinner and catch some lake views. Views were good. Service needs improvement, Band was good. Ordered philly cheese steak sandwich, it was blah. No flavor. Not worth the drive!
