Incredibly good food and huge portions. The most tender country fried steak I've ever had. Bring all of our outta town friends to eat here and they rave about it. read more

Food literally was at the table within minutes of placing order. Good greasy spoon type place. Friendly waitstaff.

Love the pork chops and friendly fast service! They must have great kitchen staff and friendly servers!

This place was awesome. Starting out our server Lauren was attentive with a great personally. The rep-or with their regular customers as so funny. The food was great. I have never had catfish that I liked. Theirs was delicious. The food came out so fast on both days we were there. Please go and see them you won't be disappointed! read more

We had breakfast at Grannie's. The service was prompt and the servers were downhome friendly. The disappointment was the biscuits. Not like any homemade biscuit I'm familiar with. I'd say the place is just ok, but we only had breakfast. read more

Local place with basic and cheap food, staff is friendly and efficient food is cheap and rather poor tasting. Selected this place based on yelp reviews and was so disappointed. It is greasy spoon food. read more

Fast friendly service. Food is always delivered quick and hot. Family owned and operated. Everything on the menu is good

Tracy is the best! Their breakfast always comes up very fast and they have great coffee

A crystal river staple! Go hungry!! Grannies is busy for a reason....large portions w/ low prices. This place operates like a well oiled machine! Staff is super friendly and the fried bacon....you HAVE to try!! read more

I've driven past this place for years, finally decided to stop in. Got the fish and chips, nothing was good except the hush puppies. The coleslaw and fish were tasteless. The French fries were warmed up, I will committing to drive by from now on! Very disappointed! read more

We couldn't eat there because they cook catfish on the same grill and my son is allergic. Not recommended if you have seafood allergies. Too bad because it had good reviews. Used to eat there when I was a kid and I was looking forward to a trip down memory lane. I am sure the food would have been very good. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean. read more

The place is just down the street but we never have been there. Ordered hash and eggs etc wIfe had eggs and potatoes. Mine was fair. Hash tasted like canned my eggs were almost cooked and the biscuit was ok. I would much prefer to eat at the biscuit barn. My wife's was not quite hot and the potatoes cold. Odd for it seems that they thrive on the micro wave. Both the coffees were bitter like they had been sitting in the pot for a while. Looking at others reviews I think we were the outlier. Needless to say the food compounded by early morning crabby wait staff that didn't even thank us for eatthing there we will not return . A shame because we live a mile away. read more

Food was average. Typical breakfast menu. Nota single employ was wearing masks and no social distancing measures were attempted. Did not feel safe! read more

The food was your homemade breakfast. The service was great. Would definitely recommend.

Unassuming, but very reasonably priced. Staff was pleasant and food quite good. Even included Seniors on the Kid's menu.

My wife and I visited this restaurant for breakfast on Friday, October 26, 2018 - her birthday. We were promptly seated and discovered items that we desired from the menu - she wanted a ham and cheese omelet with home fries and I opted for Grannie's omelet with grits and wheat toast. Add in the coffee - decaf for my bride and regular for me. All were delivered in a reasonable amount of time and our waitress was very good at returning at regular intervals to ensure that all was okay. Overall the food was good, the service was excellent, and the experience was fine. The restaurant was nothing to RAVE about, but, still, very good for a diner. I would recommend it to all who are not expecting a fine dining experience. read more

My friend and I went to go swim with manatees down in Crystal River and stopped by Grannie's afterwards. Just the name Grannie's makes it sound like a homey, little diner and that's exactly what it was. The servers and staff members were very kind. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted and seated. They explained the menu thoroughly and the service was quick. The food was all-around delicious. I would highly recommend getting the fried okra, probably the best side dish next to the mac and cheese. The portion sizes are quite large so sharing is caring in this place. Overall, a great experience! tl;dr - If you go down and swim with the manatees, you'll probably look like one walking out of Grannie's. Hands down, delicious food! read more

Nothing special here. Waitstaff is laxidazical. Food is not yummy, prepared and pre frozen and thawed when ordered. Burger might have been a better choice. Won't return. read more

Excellent service and amazing breakfast. I love how they let you add spicy peppers and onions to the potatoes. We will definitely return!

One word AMAZING you must try the 2 porkchop platter one grilled one fried and the service better than a five star restaurant I feel like I went back in time and I'm at Grandmas house. Our server Joe even cut the pancake for my 4 year old . Talk about the twilight zone I'm sure this is an episode. I am in love with this place and would drive here every weekend if I could. Hands down best breakfast place EVER. When you are there check out the smooth operation the lead like cook/owner runs its INCREDIBLE. read more

Fabulous home cooking, extremely friendly, and great service! Biscuits and gravy are marvelous, loved the grannies supreme omelette filled with goodies. Crispy hash browns and excellent corn beef hash. read more

Great for breakfast or brunch food with very informal setting. Always crowded, So I get my Omelet and bacon to go. Fast friendly service.

Stopped in here with my friend and my boyfriend while taking a break from a car shopping adventure. My boyfriend said he'd heard of it, and was sort of excited to go. And I've gotta say I was sorta excited for a down home Grannie's Diner lunch. Was sorta disappointed Grannie's is clearly pretty old fashioned. The restaurant itself is pretty much your basic breakfast diner set-up. Everything looks like it's been there since the 80's or so. There's no real decor to speak of. Just simple, but clean and very casual. Service was pretty quick. We each got a main dish but the waitress came back like 5 times asking us if we knew what we wanted (I swear we weren't taking that long). Eventually I decided on the stuffed pepper special. My boyfriend got a patty melt. The food was... meh. My stuffed pepper was pretty much flavorless, and about 95% rice with very little meat. My special came with a biscuit which was actually pretty good, especially with a little jam and butter. My boyfriend's patty melt was fine, but nothing special. The fries were good but I'm pretty sure they were just frozen. The price was fine, I'm pretty sure everyone's meal cost less than $8 per person. The amount of food was reasonable, but again, the quality was meh. All in all, I don't think I'll choose Grannie's the next time I'm in Crystal River. I think this is just one of those small town Diner's that's survived because it's a tradition and there aren't very many other options. It's not horrible, it's just meh. read more

Words cannot express how delicious the food is here. We came in from out of town in search of manatees, and, after finding them, found this gem of a spot, too! They served us fairly quickly, seating us at the counter. Boy, were we hungry. And boy, did Grannie's deliver! I ordered the double fried pork chop (Huge!), the biscuits (soft and fluffy), baked beans (best of my Life), the potato cake (a novel, yummy take on mashed potatoes), and the bread pudding (sweet, and served hot with real whipped cream). Missy is a friendly, attentive server who gave us some great recommendations. Hazel, who is kind, funny and sweet, gets in at 3 am to make a bunch of the dishes, including the bakes beans and bread pudding. Frankly, the whole wait staff provided a great eating environment. Out of towners: Grannie's is a great place to stop before or after your manatee adventures! read more

Awesome little spot! Great prices, friendly and fast service, amazing breakfast! I had the French toast and sausage links, my bf had the country fried steak, eggs over easy, hash browns and a pancake. It was all very, very good. We sat at the counter. It was 9:00ish on a Friday morning and all of the booth/table seats were taken. This was our last meal in Crystal River and we definitely left with a good taste in our mouths. read more

This is one of our local best breakfast and lunch restaurants a lot of food for your money. There AUCE fish fry with all the fixings is a great price with good fish. Why your there check all the business ads on the ceiling tiles ;) read more

Not the most stunning ambience but really friendly service and good food. The women working there are really sweet and if you want a pretty standard greasy spoon breakfast, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great breakfast. Had to wait awhile but not as long as they said (plus it was a holiday weekend, so, expected). Love the diner atmosphere. Excellent, very efficient, very friendly service. I forgot to get the strawberry dessert, so have to come back soon. read more

Great greasy spoon. It was incredibly busy on a Sunday morning when we visited. We were told there was a 25 minute weight but got in after 15 minutes. Large menu with standard breakfast items for pretty cheap. The home fries were amazing. The staff was friendly and all looked like they could be Grannie. read more

The bacon egg and cheese biscuit was out of this world. If that doesn't fill your appetite the biscuits and gravy sure will. read more

There is something very satisfying about a restaurant that delivers exactly what it should, no frills, no pretension. On a recent trip to Crystal River, my S.O. and I stopped in to Grannie's for a quick, filling breakfast. We both ordered bacon and eggs, home fries, grits, and bacon. We also received biscuits. Absolutely solid breakfast with great service and low cost. Doesn't get a whole lot better. read more

Grannies is great for breakfast or lunch. They are open 5 AM to 3 PM daily. They have a good breakfast at a reasonable price. They have a lot of lunch specials but I always go for the burger. It is a fresh made to order burger with great flavor. They have been packed every time I have been in there but move table quickly. read more

Great breakfasts here! Order the ham steak and you will be very surprised. Very different spot, they offer a pancake instead of the usual toast or English muffin. read more

Excellent food and the service was outstanding! Would eat here again in a heart beat.

Good bang for your buck. Basic American food- a bit greasy, but huge portions. The cheeseburger was kind of dry, and fries were soaked in oil. I looked around, locals seemed to be enjoying their food. read more

Very friendly staff and clientele. Got there about 730 am right before a rush. Got seated right away. People that got there a bit later had to wait. Sat in a side room where everyone acted like family. Talking and joking between tables. Had the eggs hash and grits. Grits were buttery smooth. Hash had a nice crisp crust. Eggs were perfect. Price was reasonable. Would definitely return when in the area. read more

Grannie's Restaurant - Hash eggs grits. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

A good experience of country comfort food with empathized quantity for a great price. Lunch was prepared timely...minimal wait, but with average taste. Most were fried fast to include the "grilled" pork chops. The service was very timely and friendly. Highly recommended for a plentiful, quick, cheap lunch. If you're looking for the one-time quality experience...I would try breakfast or explore more. read more
