We have eaten there many times, always for breakfast...Have never had a bad experience...the food is always good, plentiful, and the service staff is so friendly and helpful. Even if there is a wait, it is usually short, and they move fast to make room for their guests. The times we have been there, they are always busy, but there is never a long wait for your food order and it's just a friendly place to eat. It is y husband's and my go-to place to eat in Dunnellon. read more

We eat breakfast here almost every day when we visit Crystal River. The food is good and the wait staff is very friendly. I loved how all the waitresses helped each other noticing if someone needed something and helper all customers. The restaurant is very clean and tables are cleaned immediately for the next group to sit down. read more

It was ok. Not bad but not great. Service was ok. I would not go back. Just because it wasn't a wow. Just ok

Great food!!!! Fast friendly service. I would definitely go back to eat there for breakfast.

Amazing all around - best experience while in town! It quickly became our go to while we visited family that long weekend!

Have been a regular in Lecanto for a few years but this one is just as good (maybe better?) Was only in for breakfast so cannot comment on their Reuben. The Reuben in Lecanto leaves something to be desired. read more

Until now I have never been a fan but today the service was excellent. The service was great and the staff amazing

Solid but nothing spectacular here. Fairly standard breakfast options. A good option for when you're headed up for a day in Crystal River. We stopped in before the Manatee Festival - We had this & Grannie's on our list of options. Grannie's was packed, this was busy too but had a few tables so we went here. I ordered a pancake combo with bacon and scrambled eggs. The eggs were fine, bacon a little overcooked. I did love the cinnamon swirl pancakes. The portion was good and they were delicious. Service was slow, took us ages to get our food. And they have Pepsi products, so that's always disappointing. read more

We came by for a quick breakfast while in the area. We were seated right away and ordered water to drink. Our waitress was friendly and helpful with menu. We ordered the special Irish Benedict and potato cake and Garden omelet and potato cake. The omelette was good with sautéed veggies, the potato cake was extremely salty . I had a few bites and was done. The Irish Benedict was also good, he could eat the potato cake but also agreed it was very salty. The waitress never asked how our breakfast was so we did not share it with her. The cashier didn't ask us how our breakfast was either. So sadly we could not share these thoughts with them. The restaurant is clean along with the restrooms. We may be back when in the area to try the stuffed french toast. read more

This is where I go for my Reuben sandwich (extra crispy and in my opinion, one of the best around... but on this particular visit, I was also wowed by both my server Lynn and the manager Julie. Lynn made me feel like one of the family and was "spot on" with our orders. She was a joy as a server. Manager Julie checked on all the tables to make sure that everyone was happy (something I've only seen at posh establishments like Ruth Chris Steakhouse, Flemings, etc.). I even saw her take up the slack and clear some tables for her wait staff. I mean, WHAT manager does this nowadays?! A GREAT one like Julie does. I tell you, I've been flitting around different breakfast places here in town and my friend and I decided to make this one our ONLY place to go for breakfast OR lunch. Wow. GREAT job, Breakfast Station Crystal River. I've been to other locations throughout Florida but this one, by far, has given us the best personable service. A+ for you all...Thank for a job well done. read more

I find myself in Crystal River sometimes to help a friend after medical procedures and my payment is breakfast at the Breakfast Station! There you'll fine the hardest working crew of women who run this place like a well oiled machine. They hand bread their chicken fried steak, the biscuits are steaming and flaky, and the breakfast is made to order and delicious! Also the place is SO CLEAN, they obviously care about quality and your happiness. Just go! read more

Excellent food and the service was outstanding! Had the hand-breaded chicken fried steak and eggs. Our waitress,Bree, was super helpful on local tourist activities. Cozy diner atmosphere an overall excellent breakfast. Oh, reasonable prices too!! read more

The breakfasts served at this establishment are some of the best I've ever had - and by far he best in Crystal River! The staff are ALWAYS friendly and willing to help a girl out with my obsession with iced coffee and remember to bring a glass of ice to the table now without my even asking! Yes....we eat breakfast out almost every day...it starts my day out on a happy note!! The menu is very diverse with traditional breakfasts, omelettes, skillets and they even serve mimosas and Bloody Mary's so NOW you understand my true love of breakfast station! Now, the name may throw you off, but you need to come back for lunch! They have the best burgers in town, also! And club sandwiches, open-face plates, salads, etc! Same happy staff, too! I'll throw in my 2 cents about very clean bathrooms, huge parking lot, and the fact that they are fast to turn a table over without skimping on sanitizing protocol along with masks. BUT, now I'm a child for this...Every. Single. Day. they have a riddle posted as you walk in-gives you something to chew over while you eat and then they'll give you the answer up by the register when you check out! I LOVE IT!! By FAR the best of the best!! read more

We've tried several locations of the Breakfast Station and I have to say that this Crystal River location is our favorite. Customer service is excellent, we are always welcomed when we enter into the restaurant. Our waitress this time was Julie and she was prompt in greeting and getting our drink order, she had a very sweet demeanor. I noticed that the manager was very hands on - greeting and seating customers plus bussing tables to make room for customers to be seated. I ordered The Engineer which consists of a ham steak with scrambled eggs and a side of fresh fruit instead of potatoes or grits. The ham steak was cooked perfectly - a little char on the outside but tender and juicy inside. Not too salty like places have on their menu. My scrambled eggs were cooked just the way I love them. They were cooked all the way through but with no brown color on the outside. The size they offer is two eggs but if you prefer three eggs you certainly can have them with an small upcharge. Their fresh fruit cup is just that - fresh seasonal fruit cut up. Very good flavor and a healthy addition instead of the usual starchy sides. Our food came out in a timely manner, nice, hot and delicious. Great food and service! A wonderful breakfast stop that also serves brunch selections. They found loyal customers in us! read more

You can NEVER go wrong with the Breakfast Station! Hands down the best breakfast in Crystal River (and this is coming from a local). The best wait staff in Citrus Country, fantastic food, and a quiet atmosphere. You won't find better! read more

Took a long time to get the food, but it was really good. Nice people, good service, and a good old fashion Southern style restaurant. perfect way to finish a nice weekend of scalloping read more

Their scrambled eggs. They're likea chopped up omelette. Really? C'mon! Well, the scrambled eggs at the other BS in CR are the same. They need a little old lady to teach them about scrambled eggs 101. read more

Great local spot for breakfast with quick, very friendly and attentive service. The crunch toast and breakfast potatoes were our favorites!

If you get one thing here make sure it is the almost famous captain crunch French toast. In my opinion it should be famous. The mimosas were good for the price , we got a pitcher, but I would stick with the original flavor as the others are very syrupy and don't mix well. Other than that the quick service and home town diner feel left nothing to be desired. It is a great place to feel full and get on with your day. read more

We are frequent diners at this breakfast station and we love the energy and respect the staff have towards the diners and particularly towards each other. There have been times we have had to wait for a table and there have been times only a few booths were occupied but service is always at a high level This starts with manager Alex who cleans tables, refreshes drinks and makes sure staff is good The food is consistently good and we have never had a bad meal there. Consistency can be difficult but when staff is happy everything operates well Highly recommend breakfast station crystal river read more

Food & service was great! Reasonably priced and a really big selection. My husband and I both had omelets.

The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the ambiance was perfect for the early morning. Not too loud

1st time here. Was doing some early shopping and had to wait for a store to open, so I decided to try out the breakfast station. Asked for a table outside because inside was chilly but that's normal for me. First I like their outdoor sign because they list the servers names which gives you a chance of remembering them. Sandra was my server today and she did an excellent job. Came out right away to clean my table, set down the menu and ask for my drink order. Returned quickly with my water. Then I saw that they had mimosas and had to try the Tiffany blue Mimosa. Ordered that along with the garden omelet with crispy hashbrowns and English muffin. Mimosa came out quickly as well as my breakfast everything taste the Delish. I'll be back. read more

We stopped in, being on the road. Food was fine, not fabulous but they do serve mimosas so it's all a balance. The staff was hustling like crazy. It's a busy place and they seemed understaffed but were handling things with a smile. Hubby loves a greasy spoon so we would definitely stop back in if in the area. read more

Food is as good as the cook that's working. Service is perfect every time. Ambiance in this place is nice to look at. There are pictures to look at and it's clean. The trouble in paradise is their prices are high but who isn't these days. Most times when you go out to eat you'll pay a bit more these days everywhere. It's a sign that times are changing. read more

We picked this place because it seemed to be the only place in town to get a Bloody Mary before 11am. We honestly weren't expecting much of the breakfast. Wow was I surprised! Excellent food, excellent bloody Marys, and friendly service. I would happily suffer the hour-long drive from our home to eat/drink here again. Well done Breakfast Station Crystal River! read more

Just ate breakfast there today. The portions are big and the food is cooked well. I've never had a bad breakfast there.

Stopped here on the way home from a weekend in CR. Visited the Breakfast Station in Homassassa, dont quite remember the service and overall visit being as outstanding. Was greeted by the managing partner, Alex who took down our names fir booth seating. We were now on first name basis. From listening to them greet other customers. They make a point to remember names and say "welcome home". This restaurant is impeccably clean and following the CDC Covid19 restaurant rules. A touchless hand sanitizer as you walk in and every other booth seating and other tables spaced apart. Some cool train devices and pictures throughout the restaurant. Our waitress was nice and got the job done. She wasnt as exuberant and engaging with customers as the others appeared, grateful to be back working. . There is definitely teamwork displayed in this establishment as you can hear them all communicating to one another. We ordered traditional Eggs Benefict. Generous serving of hollandaise sauce over perfectly cooked eggs and thin sliced ham (not traditional Canadian bacon) was a nice twist to "tradition". They are reasonably priced and have daily specials. Will definitely eat here if ever in Crystal River again. read more

Our visit got off to a bad start when we had to ask a passing server where ours was after seeing other tables being tended to before we even spoke to anyone and got drinks. I ordered the specialty, captain crunch French toast but couldn't finish it. I only ate a piece and a half when the grease starting getting to me. I knew it was fried but it really was too saturated in oil to eat. I would not recommend it. I also ordered a peach Bellini but it came without peaches and just tasted like Champaign with a little simple syrup. The server did offer to replace it because they didn't have the peaches but I opted to keep it. Not sure why it was still listed as a special. My husband had a very different experience. He ordered the NY steak and eggs special and he thought it was very good. Our server was very nice and attentive once she noticed we were there. read more
