What a great place. I ended up stopping here because it was the only place I could find that listed the small scallops that the Crystal River area is known for on their menu. It was exactly what you want out of a seafood dive: amazing seafood, at a great price (considering what you're getting). For the reviews that say it's pricey, of course it's pricey for a food truck... it's fresh seafood straight from the bay. It's better than some pretentious seafood restaurant that might also have fresh seafood but at four times the price. What more could anyone want then perfectly fresh seafood, cooked wonderfully, on a location where you're sitting on the water outside at picnic tables.
Excellent fried scallops! Really good French fries. 👌 Interesting vibe dining at picnic tables next to the river where the fishing boats were docked. Would go back again.
Overall food was pretty good. I would recommend the shrimp tacos and the grilled shrimp basket. The food came out pretty quick and it was nice to sit outside in the water. The chicken tender sandwich was okay but not my favorite. Overall, would recommend.
By far the best seafood we've ever had. It's been three weeks and hubby just said, "Aah, I can still taste it." Memorable is not enough to say. This shack with outdoor dining is a must-dine. We had shrimp, mussels, and scallops. We were not mussel fans, but now we are. We regret sharing our meal as we each loved it enough to easily polish it off. 💜
