“ Family run. HUGE portions. I fed 5 adults with apps and drinks, 107 not counting tip. You need to try this place! It's the old Oar House building but it is NEW inside and used gorgeous live edge everywhere. Cleaning and inviting. ”

“ I usually come during lunch hours, because I'm trying to lose weight and I don't want to buy new jeans, so I like the smaller portions. I usually get the beef brisket with beans and macaroni. It's good enough to develop predictability, my usual waitress doesn't have to ask what I want other than to verify. Oh, and they offer a discount to veterans. It's not that I need it, but I like business that recognize my service. ”

“ 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. ”

“ I was craving some BBQ while I was marching and came across this spot. Sooooo delicious . My belly is so very happy. Thank y'all so much and God Bless y'all. Look at this sandwich . U know u wanna stop by and grab one. ”

“ The complimentary pork skins are fresh and cooked in-house...the bomb! Coming from a Florida-native and Southern girl, we know about these things. I had the half chicken with collard greens and coleslaw. Mama had the pulled pork with loaded baked potato and southern green beans. Mama said her food was very good and her sweet tea was as well. Now mama knows about sweet tea (Alabama sweet tea is super sweet). The smokiness was light and not overwhelming. I could still taste the chicken and seasonings. Moist and delish! Pulled pork was tender and flavorful! The collards were pretty good, a little on the salty side for my taste. Green beans were fresh, definitely not out of a can. I was a little iffy on the coleslaw, it was different. There were 6 different bbq sauces on the table, 4 homemade and 2 well known brands. I liked the Smokehouse Jack and the Carolina. Also got an order to go of baby back ribs for my son. Plenty of food trust me. If you leave hungry it’s your own fault! Server was very friendly and helpful. Not a soul when we walked in at 4, but very busy by the time we left. We will be back! They got some soul food going on up in here!! ”

“ My girlfriend and I are here visiting in Florida for a week. We are from Pennsylvania and i will say this is up on the list of top smoked food i have eaten!We decided to try this place and let me tell you they did not disappoint! The food was amazing and the staff is very attentive and super friendly! I had the smoked beef brisket hoagie and my girlfriend had the smoked pulled pork. All the sauces are house made and very flavorful. Great job guys! Just might be back again before we leave! ”

“ We were driving through town on the hunt for a BBQ joint and stumbled upon the Crystal River Smokehouse. Took a quick look at other Google Review stars and comments and decided to stop. Super conveniently located right off the main road, just on the outskirts of the main streets in town. The Smokehouse was super welcoming, we could smell the smoke as soon as we opened the car door. We parked easily and entered a super cute, clean and simply decorated foyer. We were immediately greeted and seated at our choice of the 4 top tables. The kids received cute fall kids menus and new crayons so they were busy while we watched the latest news on the Hurricane that just passed through in the South on the big screen TV. The staff was pleasant and attentive. Our eyes were very big, the menu had the old standbys, a lunch menu and some fun additions that make the Smokehouse unique. Quesadillas with any meat, zucchini straws, giant sweet potato fries and dishes with waffles. I wish I took a snap of the menu buy I did not! I hit up the bathroom and this is when I noted this is actually a new place. Everything was new and clean, new wood siding, tile still shiny, toilet all clean bit needing a new seat as it takes you for a ride. When I returned to the table we were served complimentary house made Pork Rinds, so good! Immediately following were the Zucchini straws and Sweet Potato fries which were technically wedges. Zucchini was amazingly thin, crunchy and delicious, the wedges were good but I do wish they were crispier and seasoned. I looked around as we waited for our meal and scared down the appetizers. The place really is new, cute, simple and clean for a BBQ joint, it really appealed to me without losing the homeyness you expect. Our food arrived and everything was amazing looking and just huge! Sorry about the pictures, we had already tucked into lunch by the time I remembered to snap them. I had a salad that was really nice, no skimping on the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, dressing etc. It was super reasonable in cost to add a meat, I got pork, added my BBQ sauce of the 8 or so homemade varieties and was happy. Hubby got his typical pulled pork sandwich, fries and beans. I swear it looked like he did not eat any of the beans or fries there were so many! The fries were hot, crispy and delicious with a simple seasoning. Beans were also good and slightly spiced. Sandwich looked divine on the garlic bread, he was really happy. The kids meals were just wow. One kid ordered a pork quesadilla that was man sized, it came with a smokey make and cheese which he suprisingly ate. The other kiddo got a full size cheeseburger and beans. Each of us have leftovers! We will absolutely be back when in town next! ”

“ Took my mom for lunch. Just looking for a place nothing too special. But we are both WOWby how good this was. We are going to put this on the list to visit again. Thank you. Your smoked meat was so delicious. ”
