So glad we stumbled upon this delicious restaurant today. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast for dinner. The food was yummy, the staff friendly and the ambiance cute. Highly recommend checking them out. read more

Nobody does it like grannies. This egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was phenomenal. Staff was very friendly though a bit slow although the place was packed - so maybe it's just a testament of how good the food is. Perfect breakfast spot. Very authentic read more

First time in after 15 years. Bad experience back then. My God they have a cook! Not a microwave warmer. Wife had the chicken livers with potato pancake, fried zucchini and mashed potatoes. All good and tasting fresh. I had the beef liver with onions, okra, collard greens and mashed potato's . Once again all good ands fresh. Will visit soon again.. read more

The best coffee! Had chipped beef for breakfast one day, returned for lunch another. Staff is friendly and welcoming. BUSY diner but you get seated quickly. Had a large cinnamon bun that was really good. Returned another day for coffee and cinnamon bun to Go. read more

Wow! The food is excellent. All you can eat seafood on Fridays. Staff is on the button! They have my favorites, catfish, grits, and fried okra. Do not overlook the biscuits!!! Hubs had pancakes and they were huge! Was recommended by our Airbnb host and she was right! Ate breakfast there yesterday, today, and will again tomorrow before we fly out!!!! Yes! You can have fish for breakfast. Very popular location, but we did choose to sit at counter. They do a military discount for my fellow brothers and sisters. read more

Where many of the locals go. Good food. Good service. Reasonably priced. Great place for breakfast before kayaking with the manatees- I wasn't hungry for hours after eating there. read more

Conveniently located near our hotel. It was jammed when we got there for breakfast. Everyone was quick and efficient. Eggs and pancakes were very good, and the coffee was in a nice big cup. As crowded as it was, they took our order quickly and we got it in short order. We didn't linger because we wanted to free up a booth for the next people. That was at 10am. I left my coat there and went back to get it a couple of hours later and the line was almost out the door. Guess everybody knows where to go for good food and service! read more

Went for breakfast, had senior pancakes which fell apart trying to get them on the fork. Also, a waffle which could have been cooked longer. They over charged us which we figured out after we arrived home. Will not go back. The coffee was good. read more

Friendly staff, doesn't blow your socks off but perfect for a little diner. Would certainly go again

Well worth the money! We wanted to grab breakfast on our way out, so we stopped in shortly after they opened. We were seated immediately. By the time we left, the place was packed. I ordered a 2 egg breakfast with hash browns with cheese. They let you choose between bread, biscuit or pancake which is awesome. So obviously I got the pancake. My husband got the chicken fried steak, which is what he orders anytime we go to a country cooking style place. He was more than happy with his choice. I was amazed at the bill. $21! I can't remember the last time a bill at a restaurant was $21 for us. read more

It's always fun to find the spot where the locals eat - we made a decision to find a breakfast restaurant before heading back home to the east coast after looking at the spread at a local hotel, trust me sometimes you need to avoid the free complimentary breakfast bar. Of course being an active yelper I knew the options in the area and no I didn't close my eyes and pick one I actually read the reviews prior to making my decision. It's always nice to see that familiar Yelp friends have blazed the trail before you arrive or at least it is for me. We arrived on the early side and the parking lot that others have pointed out as challenging was only partially filled but the entrance was mostly underwater and of course I had just washed Roxy (the Jeep) go figure. We walk-in and I felt like a celebrity, it's seems it's definitely where the locals eat and nearly everyone in the restaurant turned their heads and I even got a shout out from a server and like she promised she was right with us. We were seated without a wait and my coffee arrived piping hot, strong and delicious and with real half & half. The menu and menu boards read like a novel, I not one who struggles with making a decision but with all the options available it requires some focus. It wasn't really that difficult since I'm a traditional breakfast person who rarely strays or is tempted by anything outside boring. Our server was efficient and outgoing and I could tell she was thinking "it's not that difficult" so after her stopping by for the 3rd time I was ready to pull the trigger which seem to thrill her. Two eggs over medium, grits, toast and country ham less the red-eye gravy which I highly recommend you don't follow my lead on that choice I love country ham but besides being extremely salty it was Mojave desert dry but still delicious. She decided on a veggie omelette of course which I think completes the food pyramid and it's only 7:00 AM and some home fries it looked delicious esthetically even if it didn't have meat on the plate. The service was friendly and the kitchen was freaky fast and the food was delicious and sometimes that's all you need... read more

Neighborhood spot is an understatement. These locals and workers were family!! Yes it's Grannies cookin' and kitchen talking- I heard so many yes ma'am, yes sirs from the patrons (young and old) and employees- real nice to hear!! I sat at the bar so I could get the whole feel. These workers are non stop so please don't get sensitive when they can't hold a super long conversation with you- they have food flying out the window. Their food is fast, hot, and yummy! The sweetest elder lady was my waitress- I feel she's been there awhile- everyone knew her and she knew everyone! Even with me being a new face she made her little funny remarks to make sure I was ok - just like at my Grannies!! I didn't catch her name as it was super busy, but you'll know who she is cause she wears a special shirt that's says- 'I'm not Grannie' LOL. Great old school country vibe I hope it never changes! Prices are great! Tip well to keep the workers happy and this gem to stay here! read more

Grannie's Country Cooking was true blue and amazing southern food. It makes me want to go back and change my 5 star ratings at other places to 4 stars, because the bar has been raised. This is truly a "where the locals eat" kind of place. We ordered a variety of different meals at our table and I tasted them all - smothered chicken, meatloaf, chicken tenders, and multiple different sides. Everything, I mean, EVERYTHING was beyond good and made from scratch - you could tell. The server was friendly and the service was lightning fast. The bathroom and seating were limited, but the experience is worth the wait. We don't live in Florida but will definitely be back when we are in the area! read more

Great food, great service, but can be very very busy. We ate here both for breakfast and Sunday lunch and the food was great. Sunday the place was slammed, but there special of the day was turkey and dressing along with two sides. Pricing is very good for the quality and the quantity of the food served. Located along Suncoast Highway, parking can be difficult when busy. Go early and be patient, this place is worth it. read more

We love Grannie's! It's not just the employees that are sweet, but the patrons too! Our kids loved meeting Miss Jonie! Sam our waitress was absolutely wonderful. Portions were very generous and the prices are just right. Thank you everyone at Grannie's-- this place will always hold a special place in our heart! read more

What a fun spot to find ... after packing the car to head home from FL we finally found a spot to stop for a bit to eat ... Granny's was perfect as I'm always having breakfast & hubby is wanting lunch! Yummy & double yummy ... service was friendly & perfect - although this place is small - they flip these table quickly & everyone is constantly smiling & keeping the place spotless! read more

Grannie's is everything you expect and want it to be: traditional diner with simple, home cooked style eats. They have an old school diner counter along with a fair amount of tables, but still on the smaller side for a restaurant. Grannie's has no problem filling the place, so don't be surprised if there's a bit of a wait. They serve breakfast all day, along with lunch. They've got everything from egg and omelette specials to pancakes to biscuits and gravy for breakfast and various diner lunch entrees, like sandwiches and fries. Unlike some other diners, they grind their coffee fresh and it tastes good. I loved my fresh biscuit sandwich with a side of grits. Service was prompt and friendly as well. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area! read more

I love real deal local places Stopped in on a Friday morning Place was packed Sat at the counter and soon added to the local holiday chatter like I've been coming there for years I'm guessing more than half the people here are local and have been coming here for years I got Country ham I've had better Eggs Grits not that good Pancake Hash browns Overall plenty of good food for $20 read more

Southern country cooking almost as good as my grandmothers, everything served with a side of friendly sass, Always crowded due to excellent food at reasonable prices Best place to eat in Crystal River. read more

Cute little diner with excellent prices! Standard diner fare made deliciously. It wasn't too busy when we first showed up for lunch but there was a huge line when we left. Might have been due to its proximity to the manatee festival, which we learned about while there haha. We had various omelets, chicken fried steak, breakfast sandwich, BLT, a little of everything and it was all good. Loved that pancake was an option for toast (or biscuit or toast). They were super good and we didn't have to decide between getting a sweet or savory. We also got harassed and called out by one of the waitresses who looked like grannie herself, me for wearing a puffy jacket in Florida and my dad for using a knife and fork to eat his BLT. It was all very charming and fun. Service was friendly and helpful. Loved the atmosphere and seemed like they had a lot of regulars. Just a great welcoming place to stop by! read more

We were recently in Crystal River visiting family and stopped by Grannie's for breakfast before leaving town. We lucked out and were able to get a table right away (I hear it's usually pretty busy). The service was friendly, the food was good and came out quickly. I ordered French Toast and it was tasty. Nothing fancy here but good, solid food at a local, friendly diner. read more

A must if you're in the area! Best breakfast I've had in a long time, and almost cried tears of joy after tasting their sausage gravy. We got their chicken friend chicken with fluffy biscuit and it was heavenly. Also had lunch options we just couldn't eat anymore so good! read more

Our server was amazing. This Hometown Café is really an awesome place to check out. Lots of locals and plenty of food on your plate. The actual quality of the food? 95 star, but definitely worth a visit and the price! read more

If you want a great breakfast where the locals hang out & are served huge portions for breakfast/lunch then Grannie's is a MUST! Our omelettes were loaded served with a health portion of fried potatoes, along with toast, biscuits or pancakes. Wait staff is wonderful but more than likely you'll need to take patience because there's almost always a wait (especially during peak season) you won't regret it! read more

Excellent breakfast and lunch. Great family business. Always happy to go. Thetmy are very accomodating

Lively place with a fun team of wait staff and cooks and great breakfast. Love the home fries, grab a booth or sit at the bar

The food is ok and it's a good breakfast place. Service is ok. The place is comfortable and nice to take a friend for breakfast or family.

Mane - This place has it all! It's the local diner that the whole neighborhood goes too. You have the waitresses greeting you as you walk in as if they been knowing you for years. It's like going to Grannies house for a meal, and she knows how you like it The food was delicious - service was below none, I love everything about Grannies, and you best believe I will be returning. read more

Crazy busy. The food was ok, but it took them 3 try's to get our order correct. Had a great waitress, was an ol' lady that had trouble standing up straight, thought her name was Fran, she never stopped moving, and kept my sweet tea full. Small indoors. It was ok, I mean, breakfast is hard to mess up. It just didn't live up to the local hype. Check it out for yourself. I was hoping for a great little local dive, like I said, it's OK. Weak coffee read more

I didn't get a picture but my food was amazing! The waffles are perfect with the strawberry topping and whip cream! The strawberries seemed fresh not frozen. The place was packed full and is similar to a Waffle House feel. The service was also similar to a Waffle House but would go through a lot of hassle to eat those waffles with the strawberry topping again! read more

Here for the first time as we were on our way to visiting family about 15 minutes from here. Dottie and I are from Naples. My sister Janet from St. Petersburg (posted our picture) The breakfast we three had was great tasting and a generous portion. Bottomless cup of coffee and we were very pleased as it was our first time there. I only had pictures of my one dish. But here is the BEST part. LORIN was our server and it started with something funny she did about giving me my wife's pancake that she declined. We were fortunate to get to speak with her about it, had more laughs throughout our time there. LORIN was very professional, personable, funny and a pleasure to have met her for our short time there. She was great. This was a memorable breakfast because of our interaction with LORIN. I posted the picture of us three LORIN and again want to thank you for your sense of humor, going along with everything and for the great table service of course. You are such an asset to the restaurant. Whenever we get back up here again, we'll stop by to say hello! All the best. Continued laughs; Dave, Dottie and Janet. (BTW, posted this review on TripAdvisor also) read more

Went there for breakfast... food was ok, Service was good. We prefer breakfast station in Homosassa.

They are so friendly here and service is SO fast!!! The food was pretty good, easy to get to, parking a little hard, but we seemed to come when folks were leaving. We only waited 15 minutes. My son ate more pancake than I've ever seen him eat! And our waitress Lorin was so nice! read more
