Crystal River Smokehouse & Grill

Amazing food 😋😋 My favorite was the brisket and baby back ribs 🤤 So juicy and tender. The baked beans 🫘 were delicious. They give you fried pork rinds in a bread basket when you arrive to snack on while you wait. They are amazingly good 👍 our server was friendly and attentive.

I’m so sad writing this because I was really looking forward to this and had high hopes. Came in today at lunch time. Paid $60 for 2. I got the rib lunch and one of my stack of ribs was ice cold, literally felt refrigerated was so cold. They tasted good, just cold. Mac & cheese was extremely dry and old. Seemed like it was warmed up and honestly gross. Baked beans were very good though. Really disappointed with the cold ribs and dry mac & cheese. Husband got the chicken dinner and his green beans are literally hard/crunchy. He said flavor was there but they weren’t all the way cooked. Best part for him was the garlic bread. ☹️

Nice little local spot. Decent food for a good price, and friendly staff. Will happily come back next time I'm in the area

Definitely the best BBQ in Citrus County. It truly is worth the visit. My husband enjoys the smoked sliced pork loin, and turkey, but seriously the Mega Rack of Ribs is what he really goes for. You get about 14 good sized ribs that are so meaty and full of flavor. You have got to give them a try. His side of choice are green beans with bacon. I've enjoyed the Brisket & Turkey with the Collared Greens which are cooked with turkey, and they are the best. We can't fault anything, and have been on several occasions. Everything is always delicious. I also highly recommend the Prime Rib. Tender, juicy and full of flavor. We give them 10/10 for food, quality, service and the relaxing, friendly atmosphere. Give the restaurant a try, you won't regret it.

Update: Had lunch here with some family. The pork was amazing and we all really enjoyed our meals. Mac and cheese improved 100% too! Ordered through Grub Hub delivery since I've been there before in person and food was really good in the past. Don't waste your money on the mac and cheese though. It's some low budget boxed stuff made without cheese or love. Basically boiled noodles they charge you $11 for a big cup container. Plenty of other BBQ places in Citrus County that you pay the same price and get higher quality food.
