It’s a lovely restaurant. The kind of place that gives you warm welcome when you walk in. My egg white omelette was fantastic. And they had great “kid menu” items. Lots of value for the price with great service. We’ll definitely come back next time we’re in town.

I went to Granny's restaurant with my wife for the first time and was very pleased with the entire experience. I ordered the catfish dinner and I must say it was the best catfish that I have eaten in Florida. It was fried with a perfect golden batter with just the right seasonings and the fish was not to overpowering. The flavor was spot on for my taste. The sides were also very good quality. I had greens and baked beans and they were both quite good. My wife got the chicken livers and agreed that they were the best that she had eaten since coming to Florida 6 years ago. All the food is very fresh and The fried foods are obviously fried in fresh oils. Light in color with no bitter scorched or burnt taste. Simply delicious! We would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes good homestyle cooking! The only downfall is that the food is so good that there is usually a bit of a wait to get in. We waited approximately 30 minutes but it was definitely worth the wait! The food is reasonably priced and the portions are quite large. Very nice experience all the way around!

Must have been the best burger I've had at a restaurant in years. I got the bacon cheeseburger with fried egg on top. It was wonderful. My plate was wiped clean. Wanted to go back for breakfast but we didn't make it this trip. There's usually a line for breakfast - for good reason. This place is a gem.

I finally got in to try Grannie's. This little gem has been in Crystal River for a very long time. Unfortunately, my schedule previously never met to with their open hours. Recently they changed it so they're open until 6pm on weekends and open 7 days a week (usually until 2pm). I went in because they didn't look to packed (if you've ever driven by, you know they're almost always packed), and today's special was listed as AUCE fried chicken. Sadly, when I cut there, they were out of chicken. They were very apologetic, and looking over the menu, I saw they offered AUCE pollock daily with 3 sides. I decided to go with fish. Their fish is served up fried, blackened, and I forget the third eat they prep it for you. I opted to start with the blackened. I had asked the server if they season it and then seat it on a flat to griddle. She said they did, and I was quite happy about this as I've been to one too many places that steam or bake it, then throw some seasoning on, trying to pass it off as blackened. I was very happy with my voice. Pollock is a flaky white fish that is very easy to over cook. Grannie's served it up right. It was hot, flaky, and moist with the right amount of seasoning seared on, and tasted quite delicious. I picked for my sides mashed potatoes, green beans, and cottage cheese. The mashed potatoes lacked a little bit of seasoning, and tasted like they were made from Idahoan spuds. The green beans were very hot and tasted great. Cottage cheese was.. well cottage cheese. I also tried their fried pollock, and I must say I was quite surprised. Again, it was lightly seasoned, and cooked perfectly. I was told the lightly battery it, and that's a wonderful way to get fish. Too many places put on too much batter or breading, but not here. The lady who served me was very friendly, attentive, and courteous. She answered all my questions about the food, displaying an excellent knowledge of their menu. From what I saw, all of the other servers were just as friendly and outgoing. It seemed like except for me, they knew just about everyone who came through the door. That's always a good sign the food will be fairly good. Menu has a good variety, and prices are reasonable. If you live in Crystal River, or nearby, you should check them out.
