Stopped by Norton's Riverside Bar & Grill in Crystal River for lunch, and unfortunately it just…read morewasn't a good experience. The service was the highlight of the visit--the bartenders were genuinely friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome. That's the main reason I'm giving this place two stars. The food, however, was disappointing. I ordered my burger medium, but it arrived raw in the center. The onion rings were overly greasy with a heavy, unimpressive batter. After reading other reviews, I noticed someone else had a similar experience with the patty melt, so my meal may not have been an isolated issue. The atmosphere wasn't for me either. It feels much more like a neighborhood dive bar than a restaurant, with multiple TVs, loud music, constant chatter, and live entertainment outside all competing at once. If you're looking for a lively sports bar where you can watch a game, have a drink, and socialize, this may be exactly what you're after. I prefer a quieter, more relaxed dining experience, so it simply wasn't a good fit. The restaurant also has a dog-friendly patio, which many people enjoy, though it's not something I personally look for when dining out. Overall, I think Norton's has a loyal local following, and I can understand why some people enjoy the casual bar atmosphere. For me, though, the combination of the underwhelming food and the very loud environment means I won't be returning. The staff deserved better than the meal they were serving, because their friendliness and service were the best part of the visit.

Can't go wrong with their daily 10 under $10! Pit stopped here between Ocala and heading home. The…read more10 for $10 means you get to choose between 10 entrees (with two sides) under $10. We both got the 4oz grilled pork chop with coleslaw and house salad. The food was nothing too special, but we were full. We also ordered a couple of beers and shots, which was on happy hour. Overall - it's a cheap place to eat and you definitely get money for your buck. They have pool tables upstairs and two arcade games. You need quarters for which we didn't have. Our server was nice enough to make change for us, but we had to head out.

Service was quite good, but the food was very basic. Nothing special. Not worth coming back.read more

Our waitress was very friendly and explained the menu since we hadn't been there before and pointed out specials available during the week. My husband got the clam chowder soup, my son got wings with sauce on the side. I chose the nachos that came out in a big charcoal can and the waitress lets them dump out on the plate from the bottom of the cab. Neat presentation but felt all the good stuff then ended up at the bottom and you had to dig through. The food was average. I also got the house margarita which was a great price but it watered down fairly quick. Overall, I'd try it again.

Once we ordered our beverages it took a while before we could put in our order. Maybe an extra server may have helped a bit. Our food finally came out and was pretty good. I had ordered a trio meal of the chicken wings which were boneless. I received an extra one. All the food was pretty good and hot. The tangy buffalo sauce didn't have much if any heat. Overall not a bad experience given the time of day. It seemed pretty average for service and good quality/taste.

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 .

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.
