My group of 4 ate lunch here on Saturday. We had flounder, cooked to perfection, delicious red snapper, and Pink Velvet Lunch (watermelon, tiny chicken salad sandwiches, and frozen cherry fluff, and the shrimp salad. It was all great food. Then we had the meringue pie...chocolate and coconut. Heaven on a plate! If you go, go hungry!!!

I can not begin to tell you how good the food is at this place! Worth a drive from far away! Whole flounder-delicious. Pie-delicious! Everything is mouth-watering good. And the prices are excellent (we checked our ticket twice thinking something had been left off--that means prices were lower than we though) Go!!

I had not been to this restaurant in 40 years, but my husband and I, and two of his longtime friends, had a delightful meal . So good to be back in the Delta!

Nothing in the South is open on Sundays so this was only option. Our server was very nice and efficient. The restaurant is big and does a booming business. No one wore masks nor was social distancing practiced. Spouse ordered liver. It was over cooked and the grease was terribly old. I had shrimp which was ok. Baked potato was also fine. Pie was icky— warm and bland; Carmel cake dry ( the buy it). Price was expensive for quality of food. We would never eat there again or recommend it to anyone.

While the decor is dated, the food was overall very good and the staff was friendly. Despite what the menu says, the fried chicken tenders are not the best you will ever eat; however everything else we ate was delicious. (Hamburger, cheesecake, etc.) if you’re passing through, this restaurant is a safe choice.

I never thought I would say this, but The Crystal Grill is on its way out. I have been eating there for forty-plus years and never had a bad meal, or a complaint, until now. The breaded veal cutlets were superb for years. It was my favorite, but now it is just plain gross. It has been changed to pork, which has a bad taste regardless of how you cook it, while the gravy is now just plain brown gravy with a lot of salt in it. It tastes nothing as it did even a year ago. My family and I made a special trip to Greenwood on Friday, May 21, 2021 just to go to The Crystal Grill. We were all highly disappointed, to say the least. I did bring it to the attention of the girl when I went to pay but she just a bad attitude about it. In addition, in the back room where we sat, another customer was vaping. I brought it to the attention of the waitress but she just mumbled something and walked off. My family should have the right not to breathe somebody else's cancer-causing addiction. Also, the wait staff has no respect for other people. When cleaning tables, they simply throw the dishes and silverware into the tub without regard to how loud and ear-piercing it is. So much for having a quiet comfortable meal. Who is running this place? They are doing a horrible job at it and need to just quit the business! Needless to say, this is the last visit we will ever make to The Crystal Grill. It has definitely lost all of its quality and appeal. There are better places to go to!

While visiting Greenwood for an antiquing trip, we visited Crystal Grill upon local recommendations of their famous homemade pies. Upon arrival it was pleasant to have a doorman greet us and open door for cleanliness. We were directed by front staff to choose a room for open seating about 6:00p. We were directed to the back room and greeted by our pleasant but hurried server Kim B fairly quickly. Shortly after, a group came in that were on first name basis with Kim B. All attention was turned to them at that point by our waitress including her stating that” they were almost out of pies”, which we came for.. as she left their table with all of their orders, one of our party stopped her and said that we were also there for the pies. She replied she was sorry, but that she took their order first because “they were regulars “. Really? Only regulars get the world famous homemade pies that took us there? After a while KimB returned for our orders, we bought entrees and asked her to please reserve pie. The food was generous but nothing spectacular. One member had a filet that they said was quite good. Gumbo was fair. Finally dessert time, 2 members were able to get a slice of homemade pie for an additional fee. The other got Boston cream that was still frozen. Coffee was so weak we didn’t drink it. We honestly don’t see what all of the chatter was about. Perhaps had we been “regulars” it would have all been upgraded. We will not be back

Went to the Crystal Grill for the 1st time. I was very happy to see an older restaurant which had maintained its operations and was obviously doing well. The menu was extensive, but expensive. Being in Greenwood, I chose the fried Seafood platter which featured catfish along with shrimp, crab cake, oysters, and scallops. The food and service were good, but not as good as the price. Overall a good experience and would go again.
Excellent food. Had the roast beef au jus, Perfect Started out with a tamale (must have) And of course you can’t leave without pie. I have a to go box with enough food to feed 2 people. Our waitress was very nice Ill be back

We found this place on the recommendation of a store clerk, we wanted something other than chain style food. Man what a great place, food was awesome, customer service was perfect. Great prices. I wish I had reason to go back to that area.

All we can say is Wow! What a delightful experience. The exquisite food,atmosphere and Southern Hospitality all wrapped up with a bow around it! Don't miss out on this one folks,you will be missing out on a "Mississippi Delta" experience!

Another delicious, affordable meal with friends at Crystal Grill. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and just oozes with character. I recommend the tamale bites for appetizer. My entree was the Cutlet Parmigiana. It was good but could have used more sauce. Chocolate pie for dessert, because they were out of coconut. It too was quite good. Wine, liquor and beer available. The place is a honeycomb of small rooms and this time we were seated in one which smelled a bit musty...perhaps due to weeks of closure due to Corbid. I’ll always return to this quaint eatery for good food and to take a step back in time.

We were traveling through Greenwood and looked up restaurants. The picture of the pie definitely got our attention! We called in and picked up our order. The food was really good—you get a lot for your money—and the staff were quite friendly!
