My New Favorite Restaurant After a day of fishing my friend suggested that we stop at Backfin Blues Creole De Graw and I'm so glad he did. I had popcorn shrimp and a bowl of gumbo and my goodness it was excellent. Took some food home and the family liked it too. Next we had a family outing, visiting the Havre De Grace marina... so you know I took the family to lunch at the same place... they loved it! I had the boom boom shrimp along with shrimp & grits, they had a salad, the gumbo with everything and a shrimp po-boy. The food was delicious the service was great. We enjoyed Backfin Blues Creole De Graw and look forward to when we come back for more that good food.

Visited for the first time and wow is the first thing that comes to mind! The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Our server (a guy, sorry forgot his name) was super friendly and attentive! The food was absolutely delicious! Such a great variety! We loved the crawfish fries! The decor is so cool to look at! Highly recommend checking them out! And we will definitely be back! (Visited Saturday May 28th)

Started out with alligator bites, which had a great coating and dipping sauce, a cup of gumbo which was excellent, then for dinner blackened catfish and the short rib special. Both were very tasty, though a little pricey. Dessert included an excellent key lime pie and pecan pie. Overall a really nice dinner.

My son and I stopped by on Father's Day, and despite how crowded they were, they managed to find a spot for us. It was an awesome time, and the food was amazing!!! Our server, Bre, was fantastic, and her selection guidance was spot on. Katelin, the manager, was absolutely wonderful and welcoming. We started with Duck Fat Fries and Steamed Shrimp before moving on to the Etouffee with Shrimp and Chicken. Completely delicious and complimented perfectly by the beer recommended by Bre. I can’t say enough about the day we had and the welcome we received from these fine folks!

Had the crab cake dinner - so delicious. My family also ordered jambalaya and the blackened catfish dinner. The Cheese dip app was so delicious. Great vibes. Friendly staff. Decent live music. Will definitely visit again!!!

Excellent food, friendly staff and fun atmosphere! We had a private party of 30 in their upstairs room and it was the perfect setting. My table fought over the shrimp appetizers, they were soon good!

So good!! Hubby and I are big fans of cajun/creole food and this was delicious! We started with the DeGraw Dip which is like a creole version of Maryland crab dip. The fried bow tie pasta that comes with the dip was yummy and cute. Hubby got the jambalaya (the more red of the two dishes) and I got the etouffee. Both were great. I also got a side of collard greens which were seasoned well. We will be back!!

We’ve lived in Havre de Grace for years and had never tried this restaurant until last night. From the moment we walked in, we knew we would like it. Our server Maddy was so sweet. I could eat 6 more plates of the cornbread. We talked about the bow tie noodles that came with the dip several times after we left. The jambalaya was authentic & well made. My blackened salmon was amazing. The asparagus spears & corn sides were phenomenal as well. All of it was amazing. The apple cider beer was by far my favorite. My boyfriend said it was the best key lime pie he has ever had, and he is quite a pie connoisseur. All around wonderful experience. Will probably go back tonight :)

Absolutely brilliant! The whole package is here. Food was amazing service was friendly and of high standards and the ambiance of the place breathes a chill vibe all around.

Authentic Creole dishes and homey feels. My coworkers and I arrived at 6pm midweek and were greeted and seated right away. Our starters were excellent - the gooey goodness of the DeGraw Dip full of crab and crawfish, Asiago, and onions and meaty Creole Crabcakes totally satisfied. Then my Etouffle was just right with plenty of andouille sausage, crawfish, and more with perfect spiciness and a serving size enough for another meal. While the Keylime Pie tasted pretty good, I wish it was slighly more tart and lighter in texture with more crust. It's easy to let it slide for their solid apps and entrees. NOTES/TIPS: **Easy parking right across the street in their labeled lot or street parking. **1 block walk from the Susquehanna River. You can actually walk right up to its banks.

We come here often and we ALWAYS have a great time. The food is always great and the staff is always friendly

Food was delicious the voodoo shrimp appetizer was amazing I got the breaded shrimp po'boy sandwich everything was delicious nice and clean great prices nice place to eat

Amazing!! Jadie our server was so good, so attentive and gave great recommendations! Best service we've had a very long time. Special thank you to her and Brittney the manager for running top notch operation. We will 100% go back here each and every time we're in town!!

Amazing creole food! First time here and did not disappoint. Great variety of beers on tap and wine selection is killer. Shrimp gumbo and degraw dip are a MUST try! Will be back!

We visited Backfin Blues De Graw for Sunday brunch. We placed a reservation for 1pm at about noon just in case but there was not a wait to be seated for our party of four. This is what we ordered. There was an order of the crab omelet with sweet potato tots and an english muffin. The omelet was cooked well with a decent amount of crab in almost every bite. The tots were crispy and the english muffin came toasted well and pre-buttered. This was accompanied by an apple cider mimosa which tasted more or less just like apple cider. Another order was for the creole omelet with a side of cheesy grits and corn muffins. Additionally, an appetizer with the creole crab cakes was ordered. Everything tasted great. The third order was creole french toast with a side of bacon. The fourth order was also creole french toast. This order was asked to have a side of meat splitting bacon and andouille sausage. I specifically and explicitly asked if this could be done. I wanted to split one side order, not order two sides (more on this later). Oddly, the two sides of bacon were brought out on the same dish and we were basically told we can separate them ourselves. The french toast was extremely interesting. It came out like a donut or beignet deep fried with a crunchy and flaky outershell. The service is when things started to take a dip. We were informed that there was a large party on the other side of restaurant so things might be a little slow. The space between in the center part of the restaurant was basically empty. So when our waiter all but disappeared after delivering the food to the point of us having to ask another if his shift ended, we were surprised at how long it took to check out and leave. Because of this long wait, I didn’t bother explaining that we were charged double for the side meat order. They charged twice and the base price of meat sides was $4 when the menu said $3. Because it was ultimately under $10 in question, I just let it go since we had been sitting for too long at that point. Let down after an otherwise good tasting brunch.

This place is just amazing the jambalaya is awsome and the shrimp and grits are amazing. The po boys are very dry and just not good at all. The the entres are great. 10/10! Also the gumbo is very salty but do-able.

Everything tasted so wonderful and fresh, I also had the gumbo that made me feel like I was eating back in New Orleans. I liked the way they had specials that could be ordered for that night like these caramelized onion mashed potatoes the waitress put me on to. Fantastic service as well.
