    After reading many mixed reviews we were hesitant to attend this restaurant. It was very crowded at 4pm on Saturday. Waited about 5 minutes. Food was excellent and the service was attentive. Grouper sandwich was the best I've had this trip in Florida. It's a Michigan bar but I won't hold that against them since I'm a Buckeye fan. I guess you don't always follow the reviews. I would definitely recommend.

    Was super happy to eat lunch at Crackers today. My family was excited to bring me and we had a great meal. The location is right near the water. Full disclosure, I live in the desert, so being by the water is pretty exciting for me. We were on the patio, during the afternoon and it was almost packed when we walked out. One thing I know, when I'm Rome, if the restaurant is packed and getting even busier, it's going to be great. Our waitress was amazing. The management checked in on us, and I saw patrons approaching staff member at will, so I am confident thinking they were able to answer questions on the fly with comfort. Again, I really can't express how wonderful of a location it is. Open air patio with decks leading directly to the water and the dock for boats that pull in from the river. The location is generally an outdoor location where we sat with wooden tables, floors, and chairs.

    Everything here was definitely basic but thats what happens at these restaurants * definitely wasn't anything over the top - but the views outside and the servers make this place extraordinary- thanks everyone you do a great job - thanks again

    Hubby and friends loved this food! We ordered Scallops entree and Blackened Mahi w/ Cole Slaw and the Zucchini Fries. Service was a little slow, but it's a cool spot to chill out and eat great seafood in Crystal River.

    Loaded potato skins!

    It was really good, reasonable prices and Friendly staff;) we arrived early and had a really nice waitress.

    Grilled canned oysters

    Way too many better places to eat than this place. Way understaffed, food wait time is outrageous. Peel & eat shrimp were fine. 60 years in florida eating seafood and never have i ever, the Oysters were the grossest thing I've ever had. They take canned oysters and grill them on a dirty grill. See picture. Who tf eats oysters like that!! The grouper sandwich which is #1 recommended was foul and smelled so fishy. 80 bucks down the drain. On the positive the outside seating and bar area on the water is very nice.

    Clam chowder was common and ehh

    Thankfully we went on a Sunday afternoon so it was kind of quiet inside. I can see where this place could be loud and obnoxious. Server was new, probably high, but good enough for the slow pace we were after. The food wasn't anything special. Both medium rare burgers we ordered were well done and dry. They also had a charcoal flavor which was nostalgic and indigestion inducing. The gator bites were tasty - the horseradish sauce they came with was the real spotlight.

    As you can tell the Wisconsin cheese curds were delicious!

The building nearby is currently under construction, but surely the location would be much more welcoming once the construction is complete. We ordered the smoked fish dip to share, and I had the fish and chips. The smoked fish dip came with round crackers. I liked that it had a hint of smoky flavor without being overpowering. I'm always a fan of fish and chips, and the portion was generous! The only downside was that the fries were placed under the fish, so by the time I got to them they were a bit greasy and soggy. The view is truly a great selling point -- we spotted birds, fish, and what we believe were dolphins!

We ordered, fried gator tail, my husband had a tuna poke bowl and I had the grouper bites with an order of french fries. Everything was very good. Service was quick friendly and from our table we saw the beautiful Kings Bay and it was so pretty.. we didn't realize we could sit at the tiki bar, which was right down the path and sit closer to the water, but we'll have to come back to this place and try that out. It's all the same food both places. Everything we ordered you had a choice of fried, blackened, or grilled Our server came back three times to see if everything was good was very attentive and everybody there seemed to work like a team, which makes it nice. .Our total bill came to $69. If we would've used cash, we would've saved three dollars. They also have a gift shop with a bunch of different shirts and Stuffed manatees. You also can book to take a cruise right there out on the bay or to go swimming with the manatees. There is also an attached hotel in boat docks. We will definitely be back there!!!

We arrived and immediately saw the large, well equipped deck and outdoor seating. The tables had umbrellas, and there were outdoor fans. We sat and we're greeted by our server promptly. The menu had all the classic sports bar grub, and a good selection. I chose the blackened grouper sandwich, and my boyfriend had the fish and chips. My sandwich was delicious! A nice bun toasted with blackened grouper, lettuce and tomato (and tartar sauce on the side) and it came with tater tots. My boyfriend said the fish had a nice crunch, and the cole slaw was delicious and sweet. The dog, Saint, loved all of the food, too. Although we don't drink, there was a full bar and drink specials. This restaurant was exactly what we were looking for today, and we are glad we happened up on it!
