Lollygaggers in Crystal River - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great food and portions larger than expected. Very roomy

Food is so good, staff friendly and prompt. Love this place.

We go there weekly for Thursday night trivia. Food is decent, and there is always a new weekly special. Trivia night atmosphere makes it worthwhile.

Atmosphere not as cool as the previous location (which they opened as a breakfast and lunch joint and has great food also!) but the food and service are top notch! But much larger than it was so no long waits! At least once a week spot. Fair prices with good portions. Highly recommended!

Really good for wings and try the cowboy burger.

Food was good service was friendly and good.

Arrived at the restaurant at 7:45 PM , it was not even busy. Never received our food and at 8:55 told the waitress to cancel our order and just give us our bill for what we did have and we left...The manager on duty didn't even care that we were unsatisfied customers. I would not recommend this location at all. They just do not care about customers.

Great sports bar with excellent food.

Chill bar with some sporty shenanigans. Great service from the staff. I got the buffalo chicken wrap and it was delicious. My bf got the black n bleu burger and he cleaned his plate.

Went on wing Wednesday. Wings were $85 cents and they were good. There's a happy hour but not on drafts. $4.25 for a draft beer is high for the area. They also ding you for celery and dressing. $46 including tip for a dozen wings and beer is a steep price point.

A group of 14 of us went back in May, and had a crummy experience (mainly due to our server). I decided to take my kids there tonight (party of 4), and give it another shot. Let me tell you, I was blown away! The manager had remembered me from that night, and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was top notch! My son ordered the ribeye steak, and they were out. Chad, the manager, didn't even tell us. He went out and got my son a ribeye from canes! Was back in a jiffy, and my son had the best steak he had even eaten. We had Lauren as our server, and she was the most pleasant and prompt server I've ever had! I'm so impressed that Chad did what he did for us, even though we would have totally understood of they said they were out of ribeyes. Lauren came to the table with a smile every time, and we never went without anything we needed! ALSO, even though he had already ran out and personally got my son the steak, they gave him a free piece of cheese cake! This is an establishment I will gladly visit way more often, they truly care about their patrons! Thank you Chad and Lauren for the absolutely AMAZING experience!!!

Lollygaggers USE to be really good

Both the food and the service were good.

This place is great! My husband and I along with our kids are regulars! However on July 12 I came here with my family and my parents who traveled from Ocala to take me to dinner for my birthday. We got sat right away but we waited over an hour for our food! This place is great, but they really need to fix the mess they have going on in the kitchen! Kayla was fantastic and very apologetic. Chad apologized and took care of us and we took our food home. We will still continue to come here. We love the atmosphere! Tyler, Marina, Raven, Cassidy, Kayla, Cody are amazing! The entire floor staff is fantastic

Second time in and the food is getting worse.First time I had a steak sandwich and the steak was the size of an envelope.this time had French dip came out cold and stale bread .my friends fries were raw.wish they would of stayed were they were. Every table was waiting for food

Great staff. Very clean and the food was delicious. Can't wait to go back.

Great place!! Americana style food. Larger business, plenty of seating, U shaped bar, tons of TV's, clean, game room for kids, awesome food and service. We'll definitely be repeat customers.

Clean restaurant and restrooms. Lively waitress. Quick service. Water tasted like soap and the chicken fingers were over breaded, straight from a freezer bag and tasted slightly like fish. I assume they cooked everything in the same oil. Disappointing lunch.

We've been to this bar when it was in the smaller location at the other end of the strip mall... Really liked it. We came back several times. At the new location, service at the bar is painfully slow (Seriously) and the bartender has to walk way too far to execute their job functions. Also, bar tender doing too many job functions (hauling garbage, running food, mixing special dipping sauces for specific customers) with other customers sitting waiting/asking for service. Loved the old place. Feel the new location is like a Applebee's, not like a local pub any longer. Too bad, overall....

We had a 45 minute wait and in the middle of the wait they came out to say it would be another 45 minutes because the kitchen was backed up. There were 8 empty tables. We decided to get coffees and muffins while we waited. The waitress at bar was super rude and the muffins were inedible. They tasted like metallic.

Old place had a better atmosphere.

My husband and I make stopping here a MUST every time we’re in town. Food is phenomenal, my fav are the pork fingers w/gravy, they are like the most golden crisp home cooked pork chop you’ve ever had in finger food form with country gravy 😍! Everything we’ve had has been brag worthy. Our bartender TYLER is amazing and attentive, remembered our go-to drinks after just a night, and is always helpful with local recommendations on things to do! Really a great local spot with everything to make it a one stop lunch, family dinner, date night or a local favorite hangout!

Love the new location. Good luck with The breakfast place.

Very cool lowkey sports bar with amazing fresh seafood. I come here with my daughter once a month and she loves the fish fry platter. I try something new each time and it’s always good. The fried banana peppers are really tasty.

Ordered on line .Very easy very friendly. Food was hot and tasty.thanks

Love the new location, the food is the same great taste, the servers always take great care of you! I only get my wings from here and specifically love the curry’s dry rub!

Ordered a Panini, came in large slices of bread , however half the sandwich had NO meat, the half that did the meat was very sparse. The waiter appeared we were his first customers. I do not need to go back

Server was great, refilled drinks in timely manner: best fried pickles I’ve had in the area! My food was fresh & yummy!

10/10! Margie was our server and she’s the best! Always on top of everything! Food was amazing, we are loving the new location!

Marinna and Austin made our visit great. Wings, fried shrimp, peel and eat shrimp, grouper, and a Reuben ALL EXCELLENT! We will be back.

The worst service I believe I have ever had in a restaurant. No line, 20 minutes to be seated, by someone who very obviously wasn't a host. 30 minutes before I got my drink. Like seriously? I just paid my drink and left. The amount of servers to stare at me and walk away was actually infuriating. Used to eat here frequently, will probably try again at some point. But I'd suggest you stay away if pressed for time.

very good menu … Great Beer selection…. food was good right off the grill!!!We’ll B back here for sure!!!

We dined in. A nothing special experience. The service and tv's were ok, but the food was bland and nothing to remember with. My wife had the Belly Buster burger and it was anything but with small no taste fries. I had the meatloaf, I think that's what it was referred to on the menu. Very bland. Also the breaded mushrooms were chopped up fried pieces of your guess is as good as mine. I don't think we'll be back. Was a big disapointment.

The service here is excellent. Our server Kayla was attentive without being intrusive. We never had to ask for anything twice!” Thanks Kayla for the great hospitality!!

Wow, where do I start! 1- Food is always amazing (Best of the Best) 🏆 Whoever invented the fried banana peppers 👌👌 2- Bathrooms, clean and well placed decor ( aside from the Seminole decor) The bathroom mirror will be a landmark for the town . 3- The service ! I Was lucky to have Kayla as our server. If I could leave a 10 star review I would because she’s not like the other “great” servers who get 5 stars she’s better. If there’s a “lead” server position she should have it. 😉💪🤌🏆 4- I eat here often at least 2-3 times a week & it will forever be my favorite restaurant.

Nice place to eat. We had a delicious meal, including gator bites for the first time.

This place was absolutely fantastic. The service was great, the food was hot and fresh and didn't take a long time to get, and pretty affordable. The daily specials were varied and really good. We got apps, entrées, and a moonshine flight for less than $100 for 3 people.

Best wings in the area! Garage sauce rules! Only suggestion would be to offer a smoked it baked wing as well!

Love the new location. Bartender was quick, friendly and efficient.

LOVE THE WINGS ! go here every week atleast 1 time. best bar to eat at in citrus county

New location is amazing! The kids game room is spot on for a parents night out hahaha

Food was excellent. They were very busy. Definitely understaffed; however, the servers made it work

Very mediocre, if not bad, for a sports bar. Took ages to serve me, and even get my drink order placed, and it wasn't even 30% full. There were plenty of TVs and generic beer signs at least to distract me from the lack of attention. As for the food, i got the catfish dinner. For one, I didn't even get the hushpuppies advertised on the menu. Best thing was the coleslaw, although a bit sauce-heavy. The fries I should actually be thankful for. The staff were looking out for my health when they didn't put any salt on my fries! And the catfish kinda sorta tasted like catfish, but something was clearly off. I would strongly recommend going somewhere else and getting a far superior experience!

The service was really good and the server Kyle was very attentive to our needs. I had Gator Bites for the 1st time and they were amazing and so was the other food. We will definitely be back!

The food was great and server was great also enjoyed my meal

So if you sell Chicken Fried steak for 16 dollars. Hand bread and make your on gravy Sysco sucks. Nice staff, food sucks go to a convenient store.

BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD! If you ever come by I recommend The Hungry Man, I have quite literally never been absolutely flabbergasted over a burger and blown away by the burst of flavors. Mom got the Chef's Salad and she enjoyed it as well. Service was great, new location is spacious. 10/10 Will be coming back!

Unfortunately the mixture of wrongs was enough to off set the rights. Our server was Tyler R. He seemed an odd choice too be a person in the dining room as he didn’t have personality at all. He dropped our appetizer off as if it was a secret. Strangest way to drop food off at a table that I’ve ever seen. Don’t even know how to describe it. He dropped it on the edge of the corner while looking around as if no one should know we were getting it. My wife’s sandwich came out completely wrong. Ordered corned beef sandwich ended up with a Ruben, asked for a side of gravy and that never came with it . Not sure if the wrong sandwich was grabbed or it was ordered improperly but she ate it anyway because she’s not about to wait even longer than we had for food. Despite ordering and being seated before the tables surrounding us our food took quite a minute which i could dismiss if it weren’t for them all getting fed before we did. It all just put a terrible taste in my mouth from start to finish honestly. The food was ok but not enough to dine in again. I know they recently moved and probly have new employees front and back but this was just a terrible experience beyond new restaurant hiccups.

Take out pork chop like chewing dried over cooked leather. Won’t be back You guys suck

Lollygaggers was an awesome lunch spot after swimming with the manatees in Crystal River! Food was awesome, their sauces are out of this world and the service was great too! Thanks!

Lollygaggers have moved to a new location. The new place was amazing! There are plenty of tables for everyone. The atmosphere is awesome. The food is always great! I really enjoy eating here. Tonight I had the catfish. It was excellent! Service was great. All the waitress worked together very well. It definitely was a great experience!

Our waiter was a nice young man named Dalton. He was great , very attentive and very kind. GREAT service. Wings were great as always

Absolutely Amazing !!! We had dalton as our server and he was so friendly and attentive! Food: we got- buffalo mac, fried mushrooms and their special grouper finger basket. Everything was so GOOD, I don't think I've had mac and cheese from a restaurant that has been this good ever!

So the new spot is clean and fresh looking, very spacious. The food prices have gone up and the quality has gone down. Ordered a pastrami with no cheese, used to be able to order a half, not any more. The sandwich came and it was very thin and had melted cheese and cold fries (13.00) Sent it back, my BF had a french dip, he gave it a 5 out of a 10, very skimpy and his fries were cold. Got my sandwich after he had finished (awkward) and it had more meat but glad it wasnt a half, fries were hot this time. Waitress never asked if we wanted tea refills. I think with all the other choices in town, that will be it for us with this new place..... Not horrible but for 35.00 I would expect a really great dill pickle with a pastrami........not like back East LOL

The new location is great! Open, brighter and a true sports bar.

Lots of tvs but the young man who waited us was Awesome with a million people in there he made us feel like he was there for us hard to do with that many people on that busy a night also they just moved to the end of the block...be good to see that

Food was very good. Wife had the pork chops and I had the grouper sand. It was very good and the price was reasonable. The service was good except we had to ask for silverware.

Best wings ever. Everything was great. Service by tyler was the grestest. Hes an asset to lollygaggers.

Love this place one best places in Crystal River nvr had bad experience. Always good food and service

Great atmosphere service and food is on the local list for places to stop in for dinner and drinks. Chicken wings my favorite.

Our meals we decent, not great. Key Lime pie waa a real disappointment, I think they forgot to put the lime in it! Atmosphere was super loud, service was good.

Nice bar and grill food was good at a reasonable price. Service was quick and friendly. Sports on the walls

Great wings and even better key lime pie!!

Fun place for Taco Tuesday. Wings on Wednesday. Come early or you might have a short wait.

Great spot to stop for lunch on our way to Tampa. Service was quick and food was delicious. The restaurant was clean and our server was friendly. I ordered the tuna melt with fries and was expecting an open face sandwich but the tuna was piled high on two slices of bread. Delicious.

Tyler was a great server. The fried mushrooms were yummy. It was crowded, but we were seated quickly

Love the wing Wednesday. Almost all of the servers and bartenders are great! Sometimes you get that one sour waitress who doesn't refill your water and leaves you to walk up to the bar from your own table to order a mixed drink. Other than her, this place is amazing!

We were out of town & looking for a place to watch Purdue play-great pick!!! Super friendly - capable bartender served us. great menu selections! We were there on wing night so we ordered those!! The dry rub was excellent!! Great drinks & food and we came away with a purdue win!! Highly recommend!!

The food was outstanding and all four of us loved the food. We will go back soon to check out their new location that is coming soon.

I’m giving a total 5-star review because everything was amazing, but the fried green tomatoes stole the show. We consider ourselves to be “fried green tomato snobs” being from Eastern Kentucky. We grew up eating them! We have lived in Ocala for just over a year, and have tried the fried green tomatoes in countless restaurants in the area. Let me tell you, Lollygaggers has the best FGT in Central Florida! These are legit just like momma used to make!

We haven't eaten here in a year. Went last night for dinner. Had vodka and tonics that were pretty good and cheap since it was happy hour till 6pm. Then ordered dinner. My husband had French Dip which he said was good. Somewhat small for $13.99. I had a taco pizza which consisted of a crunchy thin taco about 10 " diameter covered with refried beans, lettuce and tomatoes and cheese. I asked for salsa. That's it. No onions jalapenos and no hamburger even though I asked if hamburger was in it they said yes. Never saw a speck of hamburger. Lots of refried beans though. That cost $14.99. More than roast beef on a roll. I realize inflation is in full swing but when is the line crossed and moves into rip off and taking advantage of. Wont go back. Too expensive for what you get.

Sport Bar with Nice atmosphere.

Amazing food. Wings were epic. Service was meh... Staff had a very casual, carefree, whatever kind of attitude.

Good sandwiches, good salads, good burgers ;-)

Been several times over the past week. Chicken tenders are delicious. Also really enjoyed the burger! Staff is super friendly. Loads of TV's to watch your favorite game.

Where the locals go well, I’ve been a local since 1981 and we come here quite a bit but tonight it wasn’t packed. We ordered two beers and a sweet tea and we were forgotten. Finally the waitress came took our order didn’t check on our drinks, so we went to the bar And a little blonde behind the bar looked at my wife with a snobby attitude. Finally we got our beers. Still waiting on our appetizer and enough enough we left and we will not be coming back again.

Lollygaggers catered our Company’s Christmas party this year and last year. The food is delicious, the service is excellent and they are so awesome to work with. Food was devoured before I had a chance to take some photos! Thank you guys!

A fabulous place to watch your favorite team on TV. Carry all the games. The service from Tiffany is outstanding. So happy friendly, & makes you feel welcome l. We had the wings of Currys famous dry rub. The seasoning is really good. They are an ample size too. There are specials during the games. Would definitely return.

I'm not watching football at your sports bar and getting charged 4.50 a beer for domestic. Too many other better deals.

We stopped in after a long day on the water. Based on the reviews, we had high expectations. We were extremely disappointed. I got a text shortly after placing our orders at 6:22pm. We got our 4 frozen burgers @7:02 and our "thick" (they were not thick) pork chops @7:10 and the 3 tacos we ordered came out after we were pretty much done with our burgers. The hungry man burger is a frozen burger patty with 2 chicken strips dipped on Buffalo sauce. My daughter said the apple sauce looks like the apple sauce at her school. (She's probably correct) We're in the area 2 or 3 weeks a year, and we're glad to know of at least one place where we will not be visiting again.

Great service, good food, big portions. We will definitely return

I was working in Crystal River as a part of a Red Cross feeding team in Crystal River in support of Hurricane Idalia. Brenda and her staff supplied outstanding support to our feeding mission. She was one of our vendors provided both lunch and dinner meals to local families affected by the storm. They provided different delicious meals every day for 7 or more days. Her staff did an outstanding job at prepping the meals and loading our feeding truck. When we were reassigned to a different location, the Lollygaggers team continued to help feed the local community. I ate there twice and ordered the " Ultimate Melt". It was like a Reuben with coleslaw. Our service and food was very good. I would eat here again and again.

Food was just average, service was excellent.. not on rush back to list.

Good food and great service! The staff was nice too me the whole time I was there and very helpful when I needed assistance. The food itself is pretty good there’s alot of choices and it doesn’t taste like just pre packaged garbage like many places do. The place had alot of people and just felt very active when I came through. Overall 4/5 star establishment definetly swing by if you’re in the area for sure

EDITED - Stopped in 8/4/23 - Half full and drinks took 15 minutes. My French dip was half the size it used to be. Prices are now terribly high. I won't be coming back. Great selection of beers, including local variety. Tasty wings and burgers. Definitely be back.

I got the special catfish sandwich, when I got it , french fries were COLD, sandwich was not HOT!! Terrible sandwich, not very good at ALL!! I was not very happy with the sandwich at all! Over priced and was a lousy lunch!!

Food was great Sarah the bartender is awesome

Don't let the outside of this restaurant scare you off. Inside is well worth the stop. Yes it's a little on the dark side but the service will brighten up your day. The food is made fresh to order. I recommend trying their grouper fingers they are amazing.

We took the entire softball team and they handled it amazing! Highly recommend! Local place food was better than I expected. Wings where really good beer cold what else you need.

We had a great time at this place and I have to say the Service and the Food was EXCELLENT!!!!

You couldn't ask much more from a local Sports Bar. I went on a "Wing it Wednesday" and was pleasantly surprised by the food quality. The bartender and wait staff were all personable. They all knew how to associate with guests and did a great job with food recommendations. My wings were cooked perfectly and their signature dry rub is definitely worth trying. Ranch and Bleu, made in house and both delicious.

Ordered two grilled chicken salads and there were no toppings very little chicken. No dressing in one of the two salads. This was the second time we had a terrible experience with takeout. Not worth a call to the restaurant because they act like they have no idea whats happened and just hang up.. Gave them a second chance they will deff not get a third. Bcareful ordering out. Will not visit this establishment again for anything.

I'm there with the lady I'm a caregiver for several times each week. Anytime I order a sandwich....a BLT or the club....I request no mayo. Not only do I detest it, but I'm also allergic to it. 9 out of 10 times I have to send it back because they put mayo on it. I truly wish they'd get it right. I can tell y'all that if it happens that I get sick because they ignored my request, I won't be so nice.

Omg the service was tragic trach. We sat for an hour and forty-five minutes watched other tables who were sat after us get there food. Couldn't pay me to eat there never going back.

Not busy, but still an hour wait for some wings and a cold quesadilla... 2nd time this place has disappointed... there won't be a 3rd from us.

Great service awesome bartender! Margie was attentive and on point. We drive 45 mins 1 way to get here, partly because of their pork fingers are amazing.

Our first time here, we drove from Ocala and our original plan was to go to Jimmy's seafood cellar but the wait time was ridiculous. The food was o.k. but could've been a lot better had our server Stephanie not taken 10 minutes to bring my special needs son tarter sauce for his fried grouper sandwich. When she did finally bring it she brought cocktail sauce instead. When I told her the first time took 10 minutes she got very nasty and argumentative. My husband asked for horseradish sauce and she never brought it, when I asked her about it a second time she said she was too busy accommodating me and that's why she forgot. We asked to speak to a manager and she told us she was busy doing something but would be over to talk to us after she was done. We waited about 30 minutes and the other party that was with us actually called the restaurant from the table and asked whoever answered to send a manager to our table. Marina came over to our table and was very sweet and very apologetic for the servers behavior. If we decide to give it another try I would definitely ask for Marina to wait on us.

Wings and cold beer what can you say. Good bar food and it is a good place to go if you just want a quick meal. Staff is friendly but sometimes thin so service can be slow. Still enjoy going.

Wait staff is great and the food is okay. We had the fish and chips, fish was breaded fingers and not beer battered fillets. Chips were crisp and hot. Had fried mushrooms as an appetizer big portion and hand breaded. I would return but order something different, they offer standard pub fair.

First timmers, we sat at the bar, it was super busy. I didn't get the name of the bartender, she was in the weeds, but handled it like a champ! She was amazing, we really enjoyed our meal, and they had my wine. Well be back.
