What a charming little bistro in Crystal River! We stopped in for lunch and were pleasantly…read moresurprised by both the food and the atmosphere. The potato soup was absolutely delicious--rich, flavorful, and comforting. I also had a BLT on a croissant, which was fresh and very tasty. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert. The pumpkin crunch cake was excellent, and the hummingbird cake was pretty good as well. Their coffee was smooth and paired perfectly with our desserts. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. As a bonus, they also have a cute gift shop that's worth browsing while you're there. If you're looking for a cozy spot with good food, desserts, and great service, this little bistro is definitely worth a visit!

I actually found out about Queen of Cakes from an ad on Facebook. What intrigued me the most was…read morethat she offers Keto baked goods. Great for those people like my husband and I watching their carbohydrate intake. My husband who loves sweets had to give them up when he became a severe diabetic and misses them so much. With Queen of Cakes keto baked items he can have an occassional treat without raising his blood sugar significantly. Queen of Cakes also offers delicious regular baked items plus beautifully decorated cakes for special occasions. She also bakes savory items such as biscuits, rolls, mini pizzas, take and bake pizza dough plus pepperoni pizza rolls. Queen of Cakes is a small business but the owner/ baker bakes an impressive amount and variety of baked goods. Beautifully baked and decorated there's something for everybody in her bakery cases. I love the fact that she sells pieces of cake along with her numerous cupcakes. Whenever I go my husband warns me don't overspend because quite frankly everything in her bakery just calls out to me! I do hope you will try our hidden gem of a bakery here in Crystal River and support a small business whose owner is wonderful and will do anything to make her customers happy!

We came to Grannie's Restaurant in Crystal River as first-timers... and accidentally got adopted…read more First -- the food: legit comfort food. The kind that makes you immediately question every life decision that didn't involve ordering biscuits earlier. You don't eat here... you enter into a long-term relationship with blueberry butter. I'm fairly certain I would now spread it on drywall if given the opportunity. But the real star of the experience was our server, Tracy. Tracy did not "serve" us. Tracy managed us. She roasted us, corrected our menu decisions, judged our drink choices, and somehow kept our coffee cups filled the entire time. At one point I'm pretty sure she made eye contact from across the room and my water refilled out of pure fear and respect. We tried to act like mature adults ordering breakfast -- Tracy immediately saw through it.She kept us laughing the entire meal and somehow ran the table like a combination of a stand-up comedian, a kindergarten teacher, and a cruise director. I'm convinced:Grannie's doesn't run on electricity.It runs on biscuits, blueberry butter, and Tracy's personality. We showed up as customers and left feeling like we just got fed at a relative's house... except the relative is hilarious and will absolutely call you out for not finishing your pancakes. 5 stars for the food. 5 stars for the atmosphere. 10 stars for Tracy. If you go to Grannie's and Tracy is your server -- don't worry... she'll take very good care of you whether you deserve it or not. We will 100% be back. Probably partially because of the food... but mostly because Tracy would be disappointed if we didn't.

Went here during a Girl's Trip and someone suggested this restaurant. I'm so glad they did!! It…read moredoesn't look like much from the road, but it's very cute inside. The main wall is covered in a variety of doors, which is so different. They had plenty of tables, and they were all full. Rightfully so, since the food was amazing! Their menu was very extensive with a lot of nice options. When our server Sarah came to the table, she read off the daily specials. They had so many specials!! Appetizer specials, drink specials, and the list of dinner specials was pretty long. Must've been at least 5 or 6 of them. I kinda felt sorry for her since it took her a full 5 minutes to go over the specials. They did sound amazing though!! We split an order of the Ahi Tuna Tostones appetizer. Wow was that good. They served 3 tostones with a lot of ahi tuna cubes and they were very flavorful. For dinner, I ordered the Grilled Mahi with fries. Two good size pieces of fish and the fries were very crispy. The Mahi was very moist and had roasted garlic cloves which were so yummy. It also had a small side salad with Brussels sprouts that was tasty. My girlfriends both ordered the Shrimp and Mahi Pasta and said it was very good. The place was packed so make sure you make reservations well in advance. I know for a fact that I will be going back there next time I'm in Crystal River!!
