We ordered fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, and our server came out and said she had the kitchen redo them because they were over cooked.Amazing staff!Amazing food!Amazing atmosphere!If I could I would give 10 stars.”

“We attended Kelly’s Half Shell Pub on Sunday March 3rd 2024, the 4 of us had Guinness one of us was just introduced to it and love it. The pint were excellent! We had clams, Shepard pie, fish and chips along with lobster poutine, all served piping hot and delicious no complaints at all. The portions were big and left us full. We did split a key lime pie and it was also amazing. The best part of our night was our server Erica. H, she was on point all night checking in with us and quick wit and banter to boot! I will have to say in all my dinning experiences she rates number 1 in service and talent. Kelly’s is very lucky to have her around their tables. I hope she got her Strawberry cream donut! Thanks for a great evening.Dietary restrictions: Very diligent on making us feel comfortable with a guest with allergies.”

“The Biscuit Barn is my favorite place to go for breakfast. Their omelettes are amazing, and the biscuits are huge and the best ever. My friend had a burger and she said it was delicious. Service is fast and friendly.”

“Excellent food and service in an interesting and historic venue. Fresh fish, nicely prepared, delicious steak and a competent wine list. Definitely a must if you are looking for a great dinner!”

“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.”

“We found this gem while exploring the 1920s buildings and history in downtown Crystal River Florida. Located in a red brick building that was once a doctor’s office, there’s inside coziness with tables and a bar plus an outside back seating area with a waterfall. Catherine our server and Jeff the owner were warm and friendly. She mobilized the staff and a customer to sing Happy Birthday to my husband.”

“Just a great little ole place in Crystal River to grab yourself a hearty delicious breakfast!"Not Grannie" at the high top was an absolute blast to talk to and had a wonderful personality! She really made the breakfast experience memorable.”

“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.”

“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.”
