Charlies Fish House - Crystal River

We were recommended to try Charlie? Seafood from our house manager. I was happy surprised when we went into the door, I could see that we were on the water. Very picturesque location. The staff was attentive food was delicious. All in the group enjoyed their lunch. I'm glad we stopped and I hope to go back sometime.

The food was delicious and the presentation was very nice. The portions were good and the prices were affordable and okay. The waitress was nice but took too much time between tables, we had to wait a while to get the drinks or the water. Try the fish stuffed with crab meat and shrimp, is must.

Nice fish camp type of atmosphere. Food was delicious. Shrimp was cooked just right not overly battered or deep fried. Try the local cream ale. Excellent on a hot day. Service was very good. We highly recommend sitting out back at the railing. You can watch multitude of fish swimming in the clear water. The Tarpen are 4 to 6 ft long.

The price for a crab cake sandwich was listed on the menu for $12.95. We bought two and were charged $32.95. I asked the waitress who was very nice but she said the price went up. I guess that?s the new math. The food is okay there. I don?t think I?ll be watching them on Diners,Drive-ins and Dives.

Timing is everything , a very wise man taught me. The steamed shrimp, hush puppies, and cheese grits (excellent cheese grits! were all fine. But. They came on the heels of spectacular the day before. Husband had the Scallops Rockefeller . Very good. But. More Alfredo sauce was needed. Just a tad too dry for his taste. The waitress, Tammy, was more than helpful in remedying the more sauce situation. Bottom line...well worth the trip...and a 15 minute max wait.
