“ Easy 5 stars We've been here many times; we are never disappointed with the food. Norton's burgers are outstanding. The chicken wings are excellent. 1 wings on Mondays. The Clam Chowder isn't made on site, but it's actually pretty good. Norton's offers a large selection of beers served up frosty cold. Service is always good from friendly, attentive staff. Outdoor seating is comfortable and has plenty of shade. Dog friendly. ”
“ Great local watering hole. Delicious food, efficient service and excellent atmosphere. Live music . ”
“ Look no further if you want a fun low-key night out in Crystal River. We were there on a Friday night and the live band was amazing. There is a large indoor sports bar, but we enjoyed the outdoor seating, which also has a few TVs with sports. The appetizers were really tasty and fairly priced, but the winner was the bubbly server (Justin) who made us feel sooo welcome and helped us pick the right drinks. Expect the place to be somewhat noisy ”
“ We sat outside and never went inside. There was live (& good) music. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu - she was ready to handle my food allergies! We visited with a "local" and we were told that there are nights that parking is an issue. We didn't have any trouble the day we visited. The parking that is available is free. We enjoyed our visit and would go back! ”
“ Great little sports bar. My husband and I even came back twice. Great drinks and food. Everything was tasty and very reasonably priced. Sherry behind the tiki bar outside was very nice and took great care of us. ”
