This is a nice place to meet with family and friends for good food. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable. I've never experienced a long wait time. The staff have always been friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The food and portions are pretty good.

We didn't even know this gem of a restaurant existed until friends told us about it. The prices are very reasonable, the service was excellent and the food was great! We definitely will be returning...highly recommend.

Our group of 12 visit a couple times a month. It's always excellent... Today went above expectations. Our server, Gary, was extraordinary! 12 of us and he got everything right! Food was excellent and very reasonably priced! Gary was attentive, personable and put up with our humor the salmon was perfectly prepared, shrimp and catfish as well as the Alfredo all wonderful! Try it you will not be disappointed

If you are looking for a great no-frills seafood restaurant for your craving; look no further! Cedar River Seafood Crystal River provides a warm, welcoming, and relaxed environment to enjoy your meal with family and friends. We enjoyed the crab legs and scallops, as well as the plentiful side dishes offered. My only feedback would be to use less salt on the crab legs.

We went on a Friday and at an early supper time. Seated immediately but filled up quickly after we were there. Great selection, decent prices, good service and food. We started with drinks, tried the Winter Margarita-sweet but good. Then we ordered an appetizer of Crab Stuffed Mushrooms and opted for the broiled with melted cheese, served with a side of ranch and they were very good. Ordered the Deviled Crab Dinner and it was three shells full and lightly breaded, for sides we added a Loaded Baked Potato with a 1.50 up charge and the okra. The crab stuffing was very good, potato-always good and the okra could have been browned a shade bit more but the taste was great. Ordered the Mahi Mahi broiled with Baked Potato and Coleslaw. The Mahi Mahi was cooked right, still moist and flavors were a 10. Potato great and coleslaw good and sweet. Lastly the Burger with Mac and Okra. Great sandwich for anyone who doesn’t want a seafood option. Cooked well, Mac was really cheesy and okra again, could have been in the fryer a touch longer but was still great. Every plate came with two hush puppies. Would eat here any day of the week, which-by the way-they are open 7 days a week. The server was busy, very busy. She was working the bar making the drinks and also serving the tables. Spent around 110 plus tip between three people, very reasonable considering what we had in quality and quantity. Three meals, one appetizer and three mixed drinks.

We gave this place a try and were pleasantly surprised. We did not dine-in, but the atmosphere was on par with other seafood restaurants, and included some nice personal touches. Everything we ordered tasted great and our experience with the staff was a good one. Pro-tip: Order the chowder and the flounder plate with mashed potatoes, then mix it all together and ask for some cheese on top, YUMMY Fisherman's Pie!
