Crackers Bar & Grill, Crystal River, Florida

I ordered a little scoop of chicken salad for dinner.  It was simply divine!  Best chicken salad I have had in Florida, no lie!  It was placed on a huge bed of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, celery, etc. with a slice of cantaloupe!  I could not eat it all and it was only $4.99.  A lovely view of King's Bay out back with loads of boats coming and going to watch.  Simple and not fancy decor at all, but really great food and location.  Right next to the Best Western on U.S. 19.

Cafe on the Avenue, Crystal River, Florida

OMG!  I felt like I was in heaven when I walked into this beautifully decorated, lovely oasis in a small, old town on the west coast of Florida.  I ordered the French Connection, which was a super tender roast beef and brie on a croissant.  It came with (gasp!) a spiced apple slice and a cute little scoop of potato salad.  I had not seen a garnish like this in Florida before and I was so happy to see it!  I had spent a week in this town, searching for decent food and did not find any until I went to this Cafe.  They also had a beautiful tray of desserts available, and alas, I did not have time to try one!  Next time, for sure!  Every detail of this cafe is lovely and amazing.  Located on Citrus Avenue in the historic section of Crystal River near the corner of U.S. 19, right next to a string of lovely shops.  Loved it!
