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.

“The crab plant had the best clam chowder.I've ever tasted and their claim strips are awesome”

“The best home style cooking around! If you want good local food, check them out! There's a reason they are Citrus County's favorite spot!”

“Literally the BEST Mexican food in the county (and I think I’ve tried them all) I now drive past at least 3 Mexican restaurants including one that’s walking distance from my house just to come here. Salsa and cheesecake tacos are top tier. 10/10”

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

“Alexis was my waitress and she was great! Informed us of all the specials, gave us the happy hour menu, and even moved our seats when we asked to sit outside. Super pleasant and would come back!”

“Best service, awesome bar”

“Head waitress Tina took personal offense to me not accepting her as a waitress on a visit because the first and last time I had her she was rude when I ordered a Greek salad and sent it back to the kitchen, the salad came out with nothing but a small amount of lettuce in a big salad bowl no veggies or toppings nothing. After that I have brought my family there plenty of times since this and had good food and ok service until our last visit about a month ago. We ordered our usual wings ...the waitress we got had an attitude I saw her talking to Tina the day I refused her as a server and she was like maybe she's jealous. Firstly let's clear the air I would never be jealous of another woman I'm the type that likes to love and support others but anyways ego is an ugly monster. I just didn't like the fact she calls herself a manger and #1 would bring me such a sub par salad and #2 get mad at me for not accepting it.... So the wings we got on our last visit were greasy and soggy nothing like the wings we always have gotten so I said something to our waitress Tina's follow along that suggested I was jealous of her (she was our waitress) and her response .. she said well you have to order them crispy what !!! I have never done this before after 2 years of patronage. I didn't leave a tip and left a polite note saying that I hoped next visit would be better. Now fast forward to this afternoon hubby and I went in for our usual hoping for better food and service and got kicked out for leaving an honest review about our experience. I hope they know I'm a seasoned consumer protection attorney and will be proceeding legally as I have the whole interaction on video, and this is not the first time you kicked someone out for writing a review about their experience.”

“COPP Brewery & Winery absolutely rocked it last night!! The entire process from the planning to the wedding day itself; they accommodated every request and truly made our night one to remember! The staff was absolutely phenomenal; my guests had nothing but positive comments to say and they checked in with me and my new groom throughout the entire night. They made sure we were well taken care of. The chef also killed it last night! Everything was so completely perfect and it couldn’t have been that way without the support we received from COPP. For anyone needing a venue you should definitely start your search with COPP!! Besides being an excellent venue it is also an exercise dinner spot, they always have tons of activities going on and you are always served cold drinks and hot food!! Thank yall so much!!”

“Typhoon Thai has delicious food with fresh ingredients and great flavors! The owners are very friendly and welcoming, which adds to the nice atmosphere. 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”

“great bartender's, good drinks and they had a great karaoke.”

“pumpkin pie was the best that I ever had 😋 great friendly service 😀”

“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”

“In a small shopping plaza in Crystal River, you will find this sports bar and grill called Lollygaggers. We have seen this restaurant a few times, and from the outside, it doesn't look like much, but don't let that deter you. The restaurant is bigger than it looks, and if you like sports, there are enough tvs throughout the restaurant to watch anything you enjoy. Our waitress was friendly and greeted as soon as we sat down. If you like fried pickles, then you have got to try theirs. They are awesome. Hubby got a cup of their chili it wasn't bad, but it was too tomatoey for us. I had the pork cordon bleu it was tender and juicy, and their house made coleslaw is terrific. Hubby had the Italian grinder, he ate the whole thing, and was scrapping up the droppings. Lol. Our overall experience was wonderful, and we will be back when we are down that way. They also have daily specials.”

“We are from North Carolina and chose Brother's Pizza or our last night in Crystal River. My 9 year old loved his small cheese pizza and bread sticks! The dough tastes fantastic and is freshly made. We ordered the steak and mushroom salad and the portions were huge! Our server Ryan was very personable and helpful. If we come to Crystal River again we'll definitely be back!”

“Literally the best in the area. We missed them while they were on their summer vacation but are so glad they’re back! The food is always delicious and they’re always willing to accompany my picky self. Very kind and fast service.”

“This is the best Mexican restaurant!! Everything on menu is good and the margaritas are too. Nice place, friendly staff.”

“Delicious food. Wonderful tea variety. Nice outdoor seating. Perfect place for an afternoon brunch. Will be back! Roobius Vanilla Chai Latte was great.”

“Ordered pizza from Little Caesars, it’s only 9 miles from our house, convenient. It’s been quite awhile since we ate their pizza so we ordered an Old World Fanceroni Pepperoni pizza, comes in large, we ordered it well done for 14.65. Located at the end of a strip mall, plenty of parking and the place was very clean! Husband got there a few minutes early and they were very busy, employees seemed very organized and pleasant. 5 min later the pizza was done and ready to go at the promised time. Pizza was piping hot when we got home and opened the box and it was full of cheese and a huge amount of pepperoni, wow!! It was just delicious and cooked perfectly, we were very pleased. Great pizza at a GREAT price!! Will order again very soon, check them out, I am glad I did!! Debbie 🍕”

“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...”

“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.”

“being new to the area I wasn't sure where to go for Chinese food. I just got takeout at Mr. King and ordered beef lo mein, a spring roll and chicken wings.
The place doesn't look like much from the outside, it's very small and out of the way. but the food is delicious! The beef lo mein is the best I've ever had, and I'm an avid Chinese food eater. there was plenty of beef and it was very fresh and seasoned perfectly. coming from the north I was spoiled with a lot of good food around... I have now found my Chinese food spot in Crystal River! I highly recommend!”

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

“People like Shift Manager Joshua are the kind of people that we need to make us great again! - Politicians are worthless towards this effort.

The drive-thru was packed with customers, and I absolutely needed a #7! So I had no problem parking and heading inside to place an order. Once inside, I honestly was taken a back at how pleasant the overall environment was. Taking orders took much longer than I had anticipated, but as I waited I grew impressed at how effective Joshua was, running this place like a friendly homestyle cafè. Additionally, he was advising two courteous self motivated trainees Karen & John. Assisting the drive-thru employee. All while cooking the orders and ASSURING all customers he had their backs.

And he did! He made my breakfast sandwich customed to exactly how I wanted it, in no time flat!! Despite my order tasted like is was prepared in a homestyle cafè, and all customers in the lobby were enjoying the great vibes.”

“Never eaten anything here that wasn’t delicious”

“Food and service was great, second time there we are from Ocala ,. And will definitely be back, great service from Melissa”

“The only reason I give it a 1 is because the Lasagna was good. Otherwise, it would get a 0 because of the way this arrogant owner treats his customers. Aside from being made to wait at the entrance while he clearly noticed us before finally coming over and saying “Whadda ya want?”, it would take too long to describe his confrontational attitude in response to simply asking about the Lasagna for takeout for four people. You also have to know that you will likely be overcharged. The menu says for $1.99, you can get a salad as a side with an entree. We ordered four salads with the Lasagnas and were charged $5.99 for each…a $16.00 overcharge. I don’t know how he stays in business being so rude and dishonest. We will never go back.”

“Everything about our experience was delightful! Daniel was a delight and absolutely gave us some wonderful memories and laughs! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
