“Hometown Jacksonville - Award winning, retired Exec. Chef - always on the lookout for that special restaurant where exceptional prepared food and ambiance and great service meet my expectations for that five star rating - I found it in Crystal River Fl. at the “ Vintage at Fifth” . From the salads the appetizers, the crispy Duck, the Rib Eye Steak even the Macaroni Chicken Cheese dish all were superb. My compliments to the Chef and management for their dedication to excellence!”

“We were looking for a lunch spot along N. Citrus and stopped in. Never know what you may experience. It was great! Liked the cozy atmosphere and attentive but not over the top service. The haddock was the best. It's small gem.”

“Today was my second visit to the Crystal River location. Service , environmental, and food were nothing less than phenomenal! Mr. Jimmy, the owner, makes your entire visit feeling like you’re with family. The hospitality and amazing service are second to none! Can’t wait for my next visit!”

“Excellent food and service. We tried clam chowder and crab bisque. Both were awesome and loaded with seafood. Grouper was awesome. Crab stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon a must. Kaitlin was attentive and informative. Lovely girl. This place is worth the drive to Ozello.”

“Everything about this place was excellent! Manager Julie seated us and was so great! Our server was Bree and let me just say, I wish she worked at every restaurant in town. We tried the jalapeño bacon, cinnamon swirl dollar pancakes, home fries, french toast and their eggs. Every bite was delicious! 10/10 ⭐️”

“Hadn't been there since new owners. Being from R.I. I had finally found a seafood place with fish and chips like home. Unfortunately what I got today was far from it.”

“Was a fan of this restraunt at least one day a week we ate there. Was not pleased when we last went. Waitress forgot our request with our order. My husbands order was half eaten by the time mine arrived. Ask for the male waiter he is not forgetful.. probably will not be back.”

“Great food and great service. I’m a chef from Miami and I was in the area for Labor Day weekend visiting the springs. I’m glad I chose this place. My children really enjoyed the food as well.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We accidentally stumbled upon Guyer's Doughnuts, and it turned out to be the highlight of our day! This charming doughnut and ice cream shop is not only spotlessly clean but also boasts some of the friendliest staff you'll ever meet. The owners themselves greeted us warmly, ensuring that everything was perfect, and even offered us a delightful sample! The apple pie sundae we tried was out of this world. The combination of fresh doughnuts and the creamiest, most delicious ice cream left us speechless. Normally, I'm not a fan of scooped ice cream, but this was softer and more flavorful than any soft serve I've had. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit Guyer's Doughnuts. You won't regret it! Five stars all the way!”

“Excellent ice cream and unique flavors.”

“Me and my husband just stopped by and didn’t realize they were closed. The lady was so nice and still let us get something and let me tell you their cold pressed juice is amazing! Truly blessed and felt so refreshed! We wanted to turn around and get more! 🙌”

“today me and a friend stopped in to check out the shop. the owners was working the counter and filled us in on all the great products aka super yummy stuff ...he let us sample some till we figured out what to decide on, because everything was too good we finally did and even got some to take home "couldn't resist lol",like to say it was a very clean environment and excellent service with no surprise from a veteran that served for are country as well ....so on an end note please stop by and support this small community business because you won't regret it 😁🍦🍧🍨”

The only thing I noticed is that the portion sizes seem smaller compared to other Thai restaurants I’ve been to. That said, the quality makes up for it, and it’s still a great place to enjoy a tasty meal”

“Nicole was an exceptional server! I didn't have to ask for anything, she just anticipated what I needed. A very pleasant experience. If I was in charge of training new servers Nicole would be my example.”

The highlight was when Joe came out with a tray of fresh cinnamon rolls straight from the oven… unreal. On top of the amazing food, the entire staff made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in. Friendly, cozy, and delicious — this place is a must go place!”

“Ashton was our group’s server and she handled about 23 of us by herself. She definitely is cut out for customer service as her interaction and communication was impressive. She was organized while remaining personable, professional and attentive to our needs. I’d return just because of her but need to share that the food was excellent. I had the Italian Grinder Salad and it was huge! Can’t wait to take hubby there as they have something for everyone’s taste.”

But mostly important you will experience Jesus more than you can imagine. Having Jesus in your life is an every day experience but our meeting will give you an individual special experience With Jesus. Aglow is men and women in unity with God’s Spirit.

I so appreciate what are Crystal River Aglow is doing in Citrus County.”

“Excellent food and service. Stopped at Chopstix Express to pick up takeout. Small dining area available to dine in. The lady at the front was very sweet and thorough repeating the order to make sure everything was correct. Food took about 10 to 15 min to make as expected. Food was delicious and the portions were large enough for plenty of leftovers. The prices were very cheap with most dinner combos averaging $12, about the same as one would pay at fast food places. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food including the kids”

“watched the lady making pizzas on and off her phone in her back pocket and directly to the toppings. bare hands. called from the parking lot and they laughed at me when I asked if it was common practice that they dont wear gloves and she said yes, it goes through a 500 degree oven. like that matters. . after the customer service I'll stick to chain pizza”

“Little Caesars I really like but they did not get the five-star rating because they have not had the bacon wrap pizza crust in so long That should be on their regular menu all year long That is excellent pizza”

“Good food, great service, but it feels like an old McDonald's building that was converted. Not dirty or unpleasant, but could be better and more comfortable to dine in. Anyhow, just go. It's well worth it 😁”

“Wings were excellent!Important - This is inside of the Applebee's. There are no signs, at least none that we saw, and we were a bit confused. Walked into Applebee's to ask if they knew where the place was.”

“Our group of 18 women went for lunch and the service and food were amazing! The weather was not great but they made sure we were out of the weather. The sun came out towards the end of our lunch and made our time perfect! Highly recommend!”

“We have been using this store for the past several years. We order pizza,monthly sometimes twice, ordering just a few to ordering 20plus at one time. We have NEVER been disappointed. The pizzas are always cooked perfectly, made correctly and delivered warm and with a smile. Marc, the manager, is always very attentive to the details, communicates with us along the way and goes above and beyond with special request made. Everyone we have spoken to have been helpful and patient. Very thankful this store and team is near by to assist with all of our pizza needs!!”

“Great food, absolutely the best hoagies around!!!!”

“There Sat. afternoon about 4 p.m. wonderful time, good food. Very busy but staff working hard to please.”

“In Ohio and the local Mexican restaurant was the same price but here at Chili’s we got trip. Excellent service and I would recommend to anyone passing by the Crystal River area.”

“Everything was good except the toaster needs to be either fixed or the temperature to the toaster needs to be raised. My bread wasn’t toasted enough and I’m not good at asking twice for the bread to be toasted again.”

“It is a small menu but I prefer that way. The snapper I order was very good and I ordered the sweet potato with cinnamon pumpkin butter and Brussels sprouts with bacon as sides. It was also served with pickled Peruvian tear drop pepper. Presentation and flavor were very good. The server Kyle was very friendly and attentive. The only thing that they should work on was the ventilation the restaurant. The cooking smell from the kitchen spilled out, so it was a bit smoky. Overall I would come back just for the food.”

“Jenna at the bar is the best...friendly...great service...always goes out of her way to give us special attention...we will be back every week...”

“Never eaten anything here that wasn’t delicious”

“Nice small restaurant, so everything is made fresh to order . Spent 60 bucks and feed my family of 4, and we all had a takeaway box for lunch tomorrow. I will be back when I come to the area. Newberry FL. up in here !!”

“We decided to bring Dad to Beef's for Father's day lunch today and I'm glad we did! Even though they were busy, we didn't want for anything. The waitresses took wonderful care of us. Friendly and quick!
Our food was awesome as well. The fish and chips were great and the crispy chicken bowl was also very good. And, without knowing it Dad got $14 off his meal, basically free, winner winner chicken dinner!
Thanks Beef's for a great lunch Dad!!!”

“Amaya is such a sweetheart. We come in here regularly and she has always been so patient and informative of all the products at both Dunkin and Baskin! We love the night shift here!!”
