The Backfin first opened it's doors for business in April of 1985. The restaurant quickly became a favorite for locals and visitors.

Now located on Strawberry Plains Road the Backfin is still serving up some of the best seafood around. Not only is the seafood exceptional, they have some of the best North Carolina style BBQ in Williamsburg.

The restaurant is smoke free and family friendly. When the weather is right The Boathouse's outside dining is the perfect place to gather with friends. The fun, coastal setting is so great you'll forget your not on the water somewhere!
