    I got the admirals platter with bay scallops and clams

    The food was excellent, great menu and super fresh seafood! Neat restaurant with live lobsters and outdoor seating

    We stopped at this place because it looked like a great spot to grab some seafood. It had the look of a beach shack and had a cute outdoor covered porch area, which is where we sat. They had a fair amount of GF foods and the server told me I could get most things GF! That was so awesome to me! The server was super friendly and really a sweet person! I don't remember her name, but she had a red flower in her hair! The food rocked, atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for and the service was great! Highly recommend this little "hole-in-the-wall" mom and pop place!!!

    Husband and I wanted seafood for dinner so we revisited Dan's in Crystal River. His seafood is so fresh and they give you such generous portions. No missing this place, love that Tiki Hut gazebo right smack in the front of the restaurant if you like outside dining. At night, it is all lit up with lights! What a great Florida vibe! When you enter, you see all kinds of Florida decor and a really cool fish tank. On one side of the restaurant, all wooden booths and a few tables, small bar with high top chairs for your consideration. Other side and in the back are tables and more wooden booths and a very large table for big groups. Got seated, our waitress was so pleasant and greeting. Placed our order, huge menu with great selections to choose from. Prices are much the going rate. Our food came to us in a timely fashion hot and made to order. I ordered the Colossal shrimp with dinner portion of onion rings. I love the red shrimp, I think they are sweeter. Delicious shrimp and cooked perfectly, batter excellent. The onion rings are the best bar non, sweet onions, great batter, melt in your mouth with great remoulade dipping sauce. I enjoyed my dinner very much. Husband ordered Cod fish and chips with coleslaw, generous portion and he enjoyed his dinner as well. I highly recommend Dan's Clam shack, he has a cult following and popular with the locals. A+ Debbie

    Haddock fish & chips

    I found myself in the mood for seafood and stop by Dan's clam stand for the first time. The staff promptly greeted me and, encouraged me to have a seat anywhere. Cady patiently answered a few questions and guided me to the haddock fish and chips. She explained that they hand bread their own onion rings for a nominal up charge. I substituted that instead of fries. It quickly arrived, and was piping hot. The huge portion of fish was perfectly battered and fried along with the onion rings. It also came with coleslaw and tartar sauce. Cady kindly brought me some more vinegar. The haddock was flaky and tender, and had great flavor, my only suggestion would be adding a little bit more salt to the batter. The onion rings were a definite upgrade and satisfied my craving. I was very surprised with a very tasty coleslaw. It was one of the best I've had lately. While Dan's lacks the waterfront views of its competitors in the area, it outshines them with a very extensive menu, great portions, and is budget friendly for the seafood lover.

    This place is the pits. Fast food, over priced and inexperienced food servers. Crap soup tastes like it came out of a can.

    I hope that they never change how they do their fried shrimp; it's the best place in the area for that, and there is stiff competition.

    We were on our way to a manatee sightseeing in the area and I found this on Yelp, the reviews…read morelooked good so we tried them out. We weren't disappointed at all it was a very nice patio (but might I say that the name of the place"riverside" gives you the impression that is actually on the water but it's in a very good area. Very close to town with easy parking. The service was fast and efficient the food was good and for the area I think it was one of the better choices. They have a band set up for the evenings, and lots of room for people to enjoy a cold beer on the summer night.

    My boyfriend and I were in Crystal River, and we're looking for a dog friendly place to have lunch…read more Using Yelp, we found Norton's Riverside Bar and Grill. 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!

She's like a yelp ninja that one. She pulls this place up and we plot our course. It's located in the crystal river plaza which looks like an abandoned strip mall . Windows are covered with graphics so you're not 100% sure of what you're walking into but.......open the doors and it's a cool looking Irish pub. This Sunny in Philadelphia type vibes. We sat at the bar and Marissa waited on us. She was a total delight. Lots of fun to chat with. The food was WOW! We had the lobster bisque, ponzu and chili oysters, tuna sushi and a lobster roll. All were stellar, like hands down amazeballs for real. The bread there is LIFE. Soooo good. The bisque was outstanding and the oysters were insane. I wish we lived closer but if we get a place in the water up there we will bug the crap out of Marissa. I don't give out 5 stars often but this place deserves it.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and seated. Our waitress was wonderful. She took our order and checked on us throughout our dinner.

The pub offers both high top tables and regular tables. The walls have Irish themed ads etc. It is located in a strip mall so you need to be looking for it. I definitely recommend this pub and look forward to visiting it again
