21 Best American Restaurants in Crystal River

“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!“

“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 ⭐️“

“Clara was fantastic. Breakfast was yummy!“

“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!“

“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.“

“In the area for a few days and almost ended up Nextdoor at Wendy’s because it seemed easy, decided to give this place a try.
The food quality and service is great, beverage selection is good. I wish I had a location closer to home. Had to come back two days in a row because it’s so good and fresh.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area, especially their lunch specials for $9.99“

“I got an excellent double cheeseburger there last night and took it up to my room and it was THE BEST burger I can recall having in a very long time. Great flavor and well put together with the standard toppings. I would've never gone in there except I was staying next door- highly recommend that double cheeseburger 🍔“

“I eat here often; I've had the pressed panini, the turkey club, the French dip, and the pork cordon bleu. Everything was great. I'll be back; Raven is amazing. The female hostess is always mad, never says anything. It seems like she always has an attitude.“

“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.“

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

“Joey is great! He is very attentive and made a positive dining experience for us. We walked out of Applebees after not being served in over 15 mins and came here instead, we were pleasantly greeted by Joey and he was a great server, definitely turned our day around!“

“Been eating here for decades and the only issue we've EVER had was an accidental forgotten sweet and sour sauce, ONCE.
Everything is ALWAYS hot, fresh and exactly as ordered. Taste is by far hands down the best in this and surrounding counties.
I always order sides that are not on the menu as well and they always have zero issue understanding what I want and giving it to me. (medium container of brown sauce, and same of steamed mushrooms) . Place is and has always been very clean, friendly and the food perfect and tasty. I have tried many other places and all garbage compared to this place. I hope this place is there forever because if not, no more Chinese for me.“

“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!!!“
