"Gator Bite Cafe" (Crystal River)  352-795-1048
Located at 807 S.E. Hwy 19, (behind American Pro Dive)
This is the cutest little place with the most wonderful food! We had the lunch special of
a Chicken Salad Wrap & it was just wonderful!! I highly recommend this place.
They also have the decor in local artist pieces that you can enjoy looking at while
waiting on your meal.  Rating = 5
 
"Full Belly Deli" (Crystal River)  352-564-0211
Located at 9707 W. Fort Island Trail.  I have eaten at the
FBD several times, both breakfast and lunch.  I tried the Ultimate Belly for
breakfast.  It is a mixture of veggies, ham, sausage and eggs in a wrap.  Wow!
I have also tested several subs and everything is wonderful.  I rate the food a 5 and
if you are hungry, it may be a 10 because it is twice as much as you can eat.  They
also cater and have take out.   Rating = 5
 
"The Café on the Avenue" (Crystal River)  352-795-3656
Located at Citrus Ave. in Heritage Village. The restaurant is in the back of the flower shop,
 in the large gray building. You can eat inside or on their extensive porch.
The food is Gourmet - sandwiches, soups, quiches and, especially their homemake desserts
 almost too big to eat after a wonderful meal. They are open for lunch
every day and dinner on the weekends.  Rating = 5
 
"Bangkok Thai" (Beverly Hills)  352-746-0443
If you like Thai food, or have not tried it, you must.  This was some of the best Thai food
I have eaten.  The menu variety was splendid and the atmosphere was great.  The dress
is casual and the menu pricing is very reasonable.  Seven of us dined at the Bangkok Thai
last weekend and we all were pleased.  We give it a (5)  out of 5.    
 
"Crystal Paradise Restaurant" (Crystal River) 352-563-2620
Located at
508 N Citrus Ave, Crystal River

In the heart of downtown Crystal River on N. Citrus Avenue.  While visiting the quaint
little shops, stop in for an inexpensive lunch or dinner, with daily specials.  We love
their famous grouper dinner which includes salad or soup, potato or veggie & of course
one of their famous homemade deserts at an affordable price of $5.95. You won't leave
there hungry! They also serve breakfast. Open Tuesday thru Sunday.
A kind reminder, this restaurant only excepts cash. Rating = 5
 
"Island Outpost Cafe" (Ozello, Crystal River) 352-795-1880
Located at
14231 W Ozello Trail, (Ozello) Crystal River
For those of you that aren't familiar with the Island Outpost, other than a convenience
store, you need to try eating at the cafe for breakfast! John is probably one of the best
cooks I've ever met! He does a breakfast that beats all! We have enjoyed his food
for several years now, but my favorite breakfast is his "Island Omelet"! It is not to be
beaten anywhere! He also has other various things on his menu. From Homemade
Pizza, BBQ plates or try one of his Philly style chicken sandwiches, my favorite
for lunch. He will fix anything on his menu "to-go". And for you fishermen, he also
does delicious subs to go, so don't bother making your sandwiches, just call ahead
your to-go order & it will be waiting on you. Breakfast is only served from 7:00am
Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Open every day except Tuesday! So stop by & give
John a try! I'm sure you'll give him a 5, like I did!  Rating = 5

 

"ABC Pizza" (Crystal River) 352-795-1046
Located at 2010 SE Hwy 19, Crystal River
Just one of the many wonderful items available
is their ATKINS, LOW-CARB Pizza. It is wonderful! Occasionally you
can even find it on their Buffet! Or, you can order their "Family Meal Deal"
which is a large Pizza, 12 wings & a 2 ltr drink of your choice for $13.99.
 Hey, they have the best wings in town! (Add $1.00 more for the Low-Carb Pizza).
What a Deal! They open at 11:00am every day.

"The Manor Family Restaurant"  (Homosassa) 352-564-1116
Located at 1239 S. Suncoast Blvd. (Hwy.# 19) Homosassa     *In Nottingham Plaza
This family style restaurant features good ole country cookin',
with home-made desserts.
The current owner is the former owner of The Boathouse Restaurant - that was
across the highway....but burned down!
The restaurant is small...seating approx.40-50 people. Parking is limited ,
and there may be a line at the door. However , the food , prices ,  and service
are well worth the wait!  Both Fri. evening dinners and Sun. morning
breakfasts were sampled. The meals and overall service far exceeded our expectations!
The atmosphere is casual...all together making the place one of the best-kept
secrets of the local diners.......................not any more!

"The Highlander Café" (Crystal River)  352-795-1461
Located at 654A N Citrus Ave. If you like "atmosphere", Scottish music,
and something a little different, you will like the Highlander Café. They're
open Tues thru Sat, 7:30-4:00 and offer a small breakfast menu. Their lunches include: 
homemade soups and sandwiches served on Ciabatta bread with a large variety of coffees
and smoothies. Their specialties are their desserts:  including scones, and other delicacies.
And, the owners are authentic Scots, speaking with a delightful accent! The place is small,
seating about 25 inside, but there is also a lovely courtyard out front. The Highlander is located
just across the street from the Poe House - the large white house selling antiques and books.
