Muddy Waters Cafe Palmyra Reviews
I had a cookie here... that's all, but it was great! It's a neat little hole in the wall, and I was glad to serendipitously find on a rainy bike ride! Cute, cozy and yummy!
Love the sandwiches and freshly baked cookies! Beautiful setting and inviting, homey cafe. The owner is very nice and goes out of her way to ensure everything is perfectly prepared! Highly recommended! 🥰
I love this local spot serving up sandwiches, salads, drinks, and cookies. In a town filled with mostly heavy food options, this is a welcome change and feels like you’re having a meal at a friend’s home. The portions are perfect and the location, especially in the warmer months, can’t be beat.
Our food was so fresh and hot,hubby had to let his egg and bagel cool. The BLT is the best I've had in a long time, tasty tomato fresh lettuce and the right amount of mayo.
Have heard good things about this place for several years so, when a friend and I were looking for a place to meet up near Palmyra, we thought we'd give Muddy Waters a try. Small cozy dining room overlooking the Canal was perfect atmosphere for conversation. We both ordered a breakfast sandwich on a ciabatta roll. It was as good as any I've had ever.
Stopped in here the morning after Halloween. It was sooooo charming! The owner was the cook and cashier. No table side service. We split a delicious turkey, basil and Swiss cheese panini. It was delicious! Feel like $3 for a cup of coffee was steep but the sandwich was reasonably priced at $9.50, I think. There is outside seating in warmer months as well. Decor is very charming... Donna, the owner isn't very warm or chatty but she's got a nice place. Definitely would recommend this place and plan to return.
It was my second time here, last time was about a year ago probably. Food was amazing. When I cashed out the owner said I was good luck because last time I came in it was busy too. I couldn't believe she remembered me. (I did order the same thing, sat in the same spot and put my headphones in and watched YouTube again, so, that might be why) excellent food, excellent people.

Imagine your mom and your favorite aunt owned a restaurant. The sandwiches and salads are delicious. The portions are not huge, so we ordered an extra full salad to share between us in addition to our sandwiches. Excellent food and also a fantastic setting. Make sure to get there early before it closes at two.
This place has a restaurant upstairs and a rental room downstairs. The restaurant has very nice people. Both staff and regular customers were all very friendly. Very good food. Very nice location. Very nice view of the canal. It has been recently renovated and is very clean and cozy. The owner also has a room she rents downstairs. We rented the room for a few nights and it was very well appointed. It has a small kitchen and roomy bathroom attached to an aircondioned bedroom with sitting area and private patio on the water. We will be recommending it to friends.
Nice little place.... really good sandwiches. Very friendly service. I would certainly recommend the Muddy Waters Cafe. When asked if we'd been in before, we had not, so she recommended her #2 and the #4 paninis.... they were the very best paninis that I've ever had.... juicy and chewy.... the bread was wonderful and the sauce was off the charts good. If I'm ever in the area again, I would not hesitate to go back and take friends.
This is a very cool little place. It has a vast sandwich menu, prices were reasonable. Lots of drink options. The nautical and canal theme was very unique. The view from the deck was great. I would have given this place 4 1/2 stars if that was an option. The only negatives... The server was mixing up orders and the business hours are odd.
Outside is beautiful! This genuinely looked like a wonderful place to eat. However, our family of 14 was too overwhelming for the staff and they were frustrated at the children who were asking questions to decide what to order. I think it must’ve been on off day for the staff because we have never received service so unkind:( We ended up eating elsewhere, but I’m sure it would have been a great place if they hadn’t been so stressed about the order.
Rude staff (the old lady). The young one at the register was nice even though she didn’t told me about the “included-optional” ingredients (I’ll come to that). I asked for a sandwich called “navi”. It was a ham, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo sandwich. I waited a good 20 minutes (no sorry about the wait for me like she told everyone else) and noticed that the lettuce and the tomatoes were missing when she dropped it on my table. I politely asked her why my sandwich did not come with the lettuce and the tomatoes and the old lady responded to me that I was supposed to “ask for them”. Ask for ingredients that were supposed to be in the sandwich in the first place. It does make sense, right? I dropped the sandwich at the counter like she told me to so she could add the missing ingredients and she rushed back to my table after 2 minutes and almost threw the whole thing on my table like I was a dog or something. I took a picture of how half of my sandwich looked like when she put it on my table. Really? Do another job if you can’t handle rush hour. Service jobs are not for you. You don’t even deserve one star. Nasty people don’t. I don’t care whether you had a bad day or not. You should never take your misery on your customers. Or maybe that was due to my French accent and my afro hair. I guess I’ll never know.
