Norton's Riverside Sports Bar and Grill Happy Hour 11-7 Mon-Fri***, Crystal River FL

Stopped by for lunch, you have to place your order inside then a gentleman brings it out hollering your name, checks your ticket number with his slip, and plops your food down in front of you. Crab claws are well worth the trip, very tasty.

Been there twice now and enjoyed everything about it. Best sandwiches I've had around here and great atmosphere

Nice place to eat and relax. Been here a few times. No issues. Service was great as was the food and beer.

Always a lot of energy in the restaurant. Football games or live music is the current menu! Food is bar style items done very well.

Very nice atmosphere and the staff was exceptional great service and great prices. I'd give them a 10 if there were more stars.

Didn't have food, just drinks. Went back later in the day for food but they didn't have an tables available and we weren't up to waiting. Will go another day for food because everything looked so good.

First time for me personally. My sister and her beau love Norton's.

Enjoyed an evening here with my family Friday night. It's definitely a popular venue. Sat outside. Live band, "Echo Sixx, " was fun, high energy, great music selection, and damn good singers! Folks were dancing and singing along. Everyone seemed to really be enjoying themselves. We were front and center and moved our table over as much as we could to give those dancing more room in front of the band.

Our server, MEGAN, was freaking awesome! I don't know how many patrons she had in addition to us, but she checked on us often and was pretty much always somewhere close by. I can't say enough about her; great personality; attentive; high energy; great sense of humor; friendly; completely took care of us! Thank you, Megan! Stellar service! You absolutely made my first visit an awesome one!

Food: I ordered clam chowder, which was delicious! I only got a cup and then wished I'd ordered a bowl. I also chose the nachos with chicken. The plate was HUGE! Nachos were good, but if I get them again, I'll request 'no beef', just chicken. Disclaimer - **taste is subjective** >> for me, I didn't like the seasoned beef, but you might. We sampled each others food; wings, mozzarella sticks, and fries were all quite yummy.

Drinks: I had x2 Tequila Sunrises and x2 Screwdrivers; I enjoyed them very much. Good balance of alcohol to juice. We had a DD as my sister and I were definitely there for the libations. The bartender did not disappoint.

Overall, it was an excellent experience! Will definitely be back! Thank you again to Megan! Norton's: keep her happy! She's an asset!

They were very busy but the bartender made sure that I knew he knew I was there and he got my order out to be as quickly as possible. He even insisted on bringing it out to my car because the container was very hot. Their wings are awesome!

Inside and outside sitting area has a pool table. Order the chicken nacho big enough for 2 people and the pretzels bites.

Love going to this place and the staff is friendly, but sometimes the service is slow. We like to sit outside, and a couple of times we have gone to the bar inside to order our drinks. I'm not sure if the bartender takes longer to make drinks on server tickets or if it's the timing of the server, but there is a definite difference.

Didn't try much on the menu but the wings are good and had tvs with the sports channels on and outdoor dining for smoker & pets I believe not a bad place.im from mass/nh area will recommend

Patio seating, live music, great service, good food, reasonable prices, and happy hour until 7pm. What else does anyone need when in Florida? ! Totally recommend this place.

There was a young man working whos name is Matt. He was extremely rude. I’ve never in my life ever had a bartender as rude as this gentleman was with me and my girlfriend. He acted like he didn’t want to get our order, he also charged my friend and I double the price of what we ordered buttery nipple for 40$ and when we questioned him on the price he told us he that we could leave. We asked for the managers info and name he said jimmy and that we’d have more luck asking for Santa than we would him. I’ll never step foot in this establishment again!

Please seat yourself the waitress said… so we sat at a table… and waited, waited and waited. People coming in around us got waited on we did not. So we left and no one noticed. If you’re not a local that knows everyone you won’t get waited on you will get ignored.

They need to marinate they're Gator bites they were kind of rubbery longer marination would have fixed that the grouper was excellent

This place is where my heart belongs.

I love this place with every ounce of my soul.

The staff is amazing, the food is amazing.

We love the place but won't sit at the bar again. The bartender was very unhappy and depressing. Well grab a table next time.
