Maybe they were outside but we didn't look. We were a little undecided about staying but the bartender/waitress said their food was really good so we stayed. We had cheeseburgers and cheese steaks and they were very good. Fries were also excellent. This is a bar that serves good food not a restaurant that serves alcohol so keep that in mind. Atmosphere is a typical bar. I think there were only high top tables with backless stools so not real comfortable for older folks. That being said, my 4 to 5 stars is really just for the food. It won't be part of our regular rotation of restaurants but we'll go back.

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.

My boyfriend and I were in Crystal River, and we're looking for a dog friendly place to have lunch…read more Using Yelp, we found Norton's Riverside Bar and Grill. We arrived and immediately saw the large, well equipped deck and outdoor seating. The tables had umbrellas, and there were outdoor fans. We sat and we're greeted by our server promptly. The menu had all the classic sports bar grub, and a good selection. I chose the blackened grouper sandwich, and my boyfriend had the fish and chips. My sandwich was delicious! A nice bun toasted with blackened grouper, lettuce and tomato (and tartar sauce on the side) and it came with tater tots. My boyfriend said the fish had a nice crunch, and the cole slaw was delicious and sweet. The dog, Saint, loved all of the food, too. Although we don't drink, there was a full bar and drink specials. This restaurant was exactly what we were looking for today, and we are glad we happened up on it!

It is a cool place lots of great local people that are nice and friendly. Just don't think your walking into a newly remodeled modern bar with the rustic theme. This place has its own theme and it is ingrained and spawned from years past. The staff was very friendly and welcomed these (us) outsiders with no hesitation. Some of the off duty staff came in as the night got later and tried starting crap with the bartender. Which she struggled to keep them out from behind the bar. It was not her fault and she did apologize. I would and have stopped in for the classic draft brew passing threw.

He was pretty good. We had fast and friendly service, and placed our orders for thr grouper platter, Fried and the Filet mignon, Medium. We got sides of salad, fries and beans and rice, Nawlins style. The food was delicious! My steak was perfect and rhe grouper was delicate and tender.

Not sure how to write this review without sounding critical but I wasn't thrilled with this place…read more I ordered the catfish dinner with slaw and it wasn't like any I've had before. The catfish was thick chunks of fish with no breading or flavor. The Cole slaw was a creole slaw made from raw Brussels sprouts, shredded carrots and kale. I couldn't eat either.
