21 Best American Restaurants in Crystal River

“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 ⭐️“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food quality change? Not 100% sure but I can tell you the kids burgers are different than I used to be. They used to be hand patty and now they are premade. Brussels sprouts are good however they used to come with the sauce on them and now they do not.
$14 for kids burger with two dollar tip.“

“Best Breakfast I had in a long Time.. Food was good, service was GREAT. Will go back alot .....“

“First and foremost I have to say, Tyler (one of the staff members) always makes our stop a better experience. He is courteous and always thanking us for coming in. He is super respectful, responsive and ALWAYS makes things right if anything goes wrong. What a great asset to the company. My 26 yr old daughter absolutely loves the crawfish (absolutely the best around). My wife tears up the crab and shrimp in the Cajun Special (seafood boil). They are always better than any other restaurant around. We have always been pleased!!! And Tyler is the plus thank makes us come back in!!!!“

“My husband and I were passing through and seen “Oysters” which happens to be our favorite food. We stopped and were not disappointed. They had a tempting Valentines special but my heart was set on fried oysters. I will definitely be back next time I am passing through.“

“We had an Instacart delivery last night and one of our items was missing. I called the restaurant and they offered to make a fresh meal and we could come pick it up. While this is not want we wanted to do, we did. When we got there, the server helping me offered to pay for our food out of her own tips to make sure we were not upset with them. I would not take her money as it was not her fault. But the fact that she offered made this annoying situation so much better. Her kindness was greatly appreciated!!“

“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 went for dinner, our server was a girl named Katie. She was very polite and attentive, and although she stated she was knew to chilis, you could tell this wasn’t her first go around serving customers. The food was delicious, no complaints at all. The chicken bacon ranch nachos are fire !“

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

“I really love this place. I stop by all the time for lunch and dinner. The food is always hot and fresh and Amy always greets me with a smile and provides great service. This is my go-to chinese takeout place whenever I'm on this side of the county but have been finding myself driving the distance to get great food.“

“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!!!“
