“So I'm a bit of a corn dog connoisseur. I have over 30 yrs of corn dog consuming experience and Dixie Dogs have mastered the art of battered and fried hotdogs on a stick. All I can say is Bravo gentlemen.”

“We were in town for 48 hours and discovered the freezer messing around on our kayaks. We went a total of 3 times and had steamed shrimp, muscles, clams and some fish. A few margaritas and blue moons too. Nothing disappointed. Friendly staff, fun atmosphere, parking on the water is great… just watch out for the resident alligator.”

“Oh, my goodness! Such awesome food! Recommended by the folks at Sweet Citrus Acres RV Park! We are traveling to Tampa and spending the night in Crystal River. Just had Seller's Shrimp and my husband had the Catfish Louisiann! Both of us are very satisfied and have another meal to take home as leftovers! Wow! I don't like beer at all, but the writer assured me I wouldn't taste beer. He was right on. It was delicious! The catfish had a delicious crabcake and etoufe on top that was mouth watering! Highly recommend! Worth the wait! The Seller's Hurricane was also delicious!”

“Our Favorite local place to eat. Newly re- modeled. We had dinner & drinks at bar on Tuesday afternoon. Had great fresh raw gulf oysters and wagyu burger. Fresh seafood delivered that morning! Very pleasant dining experience.”

“This place is INCREDIBLE! I grew up in this area, but didn't discover it until we were visiting for a weekend. The doughnuts are to die for and the ice cream is next level. Do not sleep on this place!!!”

“We found this place online and were very happy we stopped for ice cream! They have a bunch of different flavors, and the scoop sizes are generous! The environment is fun and colorful, with music and art. It's a great place for kids. For adults who are interested, they even have "adult flavors." We got to talk to the owner, and he works hard to provide wonderful service to everyone who comes in. All the ice cream is made in store fresh, and it is evident because the ice cream is delicious. The prices are very good as well. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great treat.”

“We heard about The Biscuit Barn through a friend and had to come try it out! Our waitress was super sweet and very quick with our service. We are so glad we stopped in!!! I got "The Barn" specialty biscuit (because how do you go to the biscuit barn and not get a biscuit?). It had bacon, egg, and cheese and I got a side of sausage gravy and boy was it good! The biscuit was buttery and flaky and delicious! We will definitely be back!** Also pictured a Breakfast Scramble with bacon, tomato, spinach, and cheese.”

“Family owned restaurant husband and wife. The service was great. I had the Beef Lumpia for an appetizer and I had their special Walleye blacked with rice and vegetables. The food was out standing. The owner was behind the bar and his wife waited on us who were very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was very nice with brick walls and a tin ceiling. They had all kinds of bottles of wine on the walls and a full bar. There was outside sitting but we chose inside because it was a little too warm outside. We are in down only visiting but would make this a regular to eat at.”

“I come in for breakfast before my early day begins. Their breakfast croissants are amazing, and definitely not the tiny junk that you purchase at the gas stations. Their Cuban sandwich is also the best around! Come give them a try.”

“Wow! We found a true gem! Who says you can't find fine dining in Citrus County. It's right here. Absolutely top level kitchen! Can't wait to return. Here's a picture of the pork shank osso bucco w a demi glaze. Bravo!! Amazing !!”

“This is a wonderful brunch spot. The staff, especially our server Mel, were welcoming and friendly. The owner was so personable and interactive. The food was absolutely amazing.”

“We came into the Tavern for the first time today and was totally in love with the atmosphere. Food was great, drinks were great and staff was amazing. I had a house margarita with black salt which was so cool, I can’t wait to come back and try ”

“Kayla took our order with the help of Tiffany as they were very busy. Which is no surprise as the food is the best breakfast cuisine in the area. Thumbs up all the way around!!”

“Didn't know what to expect but since my Grandpa was a railroad man in his day we enjoyed ourselves with the atmosphere. The food was good and the service was excellent. Good place to eat.”

“The steamed shrimp was bathed in a garlic-butter sauce and was outstanding in flavor! The mahi mahi fish taco was topped with mango chunks and cheese creating a nice contrasting flavor. The seating is rustic adding to a great meal experience. Overall, we all agreed that the Wild Sassa food was a great find and the dishes cooked are out of this world. We give them 3 Michelin stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️”

“I wish I could give the food 10 stars!! I had the shrimp tacos and the shrimp were so fresh I’m surprised they did wiggle off the plate.Even better were the fried plantains— omg, served with a nice, slightly spicy sauce. Incredible.The atmosphere is perfect, like being in Puerto Rico, you can def lose yourself here.At another table they were exclaiming over the homemade ice cream, but I was too full. There must have been 15 or more shrimp on my tacos.Please excuse the picture of the plantains, as you can see, they disappeared. I don’t know what happened.”

“I'm from New York and whenever I come to Crystal River to visit family, I make at least one stop at cattle dog! It's great coffee with fun seasonal drinks, I've never had the same drink twice. Just got a fluffy bunny: toasted marshmallow and caramel. If you don't like the sweet stuff that's fine because again, it's great coffee and they have so many blends. If you enjoy it as much as I do, they have so many kinds of beans in bags to go. They'll grind the beans for you and everything.Food rocks too! The rotation of pastries has a mix of simple and funky options. Lots of yummy sandwiches. I got a sausage egg and cheese on a croissant today, which is cheaper than the one I got at Dunkin yesterday and like 10x better.The people are consistently lovely too, great service every time I've visited. And with my visits being spread out over the last 3 years, I think that says something about management.If you're visiting CR, make a stop at cattle dog and support these lovely people! Perfect place for a quick brunch before an adventure or to grab drinks to go and walk around town.”

“So I and my wife sat at the bar and we both enjoyed our meal and drinks but on 3/24/2024 once again once we got home we had a credit card alert and had to get new cards . This is the second time at this restaurant . Tried to alert the Manager Augustine but was always put off by theEmployees . We now drive to Crystal River Restaurant. Not sure of or if there are skimmers.”

“Fantastically fresh, affordable, and homemade food. Charming owner/chef and staff. Great small town atmosphere. Delightful drive getting there. Like stepping back in time to the authentic Old Florida.Vegetarian options: Salads, sides, accommodating chef.Parking: Plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Very family / kid friendly.”

“I have lived in Citrus County for most of my life, yet I have never been here. I was definitely missing out on something great! The experience was incredible and the service was top-notch. The staff was very welcoming and made us feel at home. I can't wait to try other things on the menu, as I heard that the dinner is amazing. Our next visit is definitely going to be for dinner! Thank you so much for providing us with such a great experience. I'll definitely recommend this place to everyone I know!”

“They have several options for seafood lovers. Four of us dined in And had combination dinners that included muscles, snow crab, lobster, corn on the cob and more!Kid-friendliness: I know it was very appropriate for teenagers and they have driven themselves and had 5 star treatment as well.”

“We stopped by for lunch today and since the weather was bad the parking lot was empty. We weren't sure if the place was open, so my wife went in to ask. The male waiter made a sparky comment to her because there were 2 people sitting at a table eating. Luckily, she didn't tell me when she came back out or we would have left. By luckily, I mean that the food was great. There were 3 of us, and we had the grouper sandwich, shrimp basket and a shrimp poorboy. The onion rings might have been the best we've ever had, and the remainder of the food wasn't far behind. Excuse me for not knowing the name of the waiter who was rude to my wife, but he waited on us and and did a good job. We are looking forward to coming back and I hope he reads this and thinks before making rude comments to a potential customer again.”

“Just moved up here and let me tell you I loved this place service was 10/10 along with the food and atmosphere I love the “honor wall(s)”. Stephanie was my bartender and she was fantastic. She recommended the smoked fish dip again 10/10 also got burgers and they were delicious also can’t wait to come back.”

“Service was great. Bathrooms were clean. $32 for a Biscuit Sandwich w Bacon and cold Meatloaf on Toast (2 fountain drinks) was a little high imo. Left still hungry and lighter in the pockets.”

“It was our first time ever at Grannie's. It was very popular. The atmosphere is that of a dinner. Nothing fancy. Our service was great with fast food and our young server was quick and pleasant. I didn't care for my French toast it was bland for my taste but my wife and granddaughter liked their breakfasts. If we get back that way again it will be on our radar to return to Grannie's.”

“We stopped here after visiting Homosassa Springs. Are we glad we did! Terrific food, and great service. Apparently they’ve been here for 20 years and that’s the mark of a really good restaurant.”

“Prices are crazy for ice cream here, but it is so good, and we usually take home half of our medium Twistee Twirls for later. The layout is simple but works for kids to be able to run around a little while they are waiting for their ice cream. Parking is pretty easy, so I recommend going up to order cause the drive-thru is usually a pretty long line.”

“This place really made you feel like you were at home! The service was amazing and everyone was very friendly and attentive.The food was great, our table had a little bit of everything - hummus, shrimp and grits, grilled ham and cheese with tomato soup, salads, peanut butter pie. It was nothing but SPECTACULAR! I would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxed lunch or dinner that does not disappoint.The other good part is the food is made there and healthy options, so you don't leave feeling bad about what you ate.I'm glad Citrus County has a place like this!”

“Love the new locations and food trucks on Thursday night! Ice cream was amazing as usual. We love stopping in to try all the new seasonal flavors. I also really appreciate that the green monster mash ice cream we ordered for my daughter was dye free!”

“I had the pleasure of finding this delicious sushi spot the other day and I was not disappointed!!! We got hibachi boxes and 2 different rolls!!!! 10 out of 10 recommend!!!”
