Crystal Restaurant

Great place, like stepping back in time. Great food, great prices. Can't be beat.

The food was amazing and came out so fast. My boys loved it! The price can't be beat either!

We were first attracted to the history of this restaurant and were looking for something other than typical bar & grill fare. We weren't disappointed...I had a tasty turkey dinner; my husband, delicious fish and our two kids, yummy burgers. The food, moderate prices, excellent service from our charming waiter, and the old world historic atmosphere made us happy we’d stopped in.

Crystal is always a favorite. Going to be the oldest restaurant in Watertown.nothing fancy but carries the ambiance of years past. If you like a turkey sandwich there turkey in their own restaurant. I call it real turkey not processed.

How do they turn a profit!? Roast leg of lamb, homemade mashed potatoes, homemade gravy and homemade pickled beets for $7.95. I was a cook for 18 years so I know the real deal when I taste it, and everything is from scratch. Well balanced mashed potatoes, pan dripping gravy, mint jelly.. the lamb was a tad bland but the mint jelly perked it right up. They must not have heat lamps, which is a blessing since many chains send out food with nuclear hot platters. The place is worn, but there's a rustic charm about the small booths and mirrored walls. Function over form is the name of the game here, something that's lost on modern conglomerates that dot the interstates nationwide. This is a hidden gem, a local secret right out in the open.
