"Un bon petit restaurant dejeuner"

- Luc T.

"Grannies has become a staple for people in the area for breakfast and one of my mother's favorite places to go. I was passing through the area and decided to stop for breakfast. I ordered two eggs over medium, bacon well done, home fries and grits. Boy was it delicious! There are two ladies in the restaurant that have become friends of my mom, Patty and Traci and and they are super sweet individuals. This is definitely a spot to have breakfast and they also offer many great lunch options. Check them out, you will not be disappointed!"

"First time here. Came for breakfast. We are from Kentucky, visiting to swim with manatees. We will be back. The biscuits and gravy were the best I've ever tasted. My daughter loved her eggs! The wait staff was so friendly and nice. Thanks for a wonderful experience!!!"

- Sharon H.

"We had a excellent experience at Grannie's. The food was delicious and well presented. My husband's grilled pork chops, juicy and tender, as were my chicken tenders. The sides perfect. Both Trisha & Jamie (hope I got your names correct) were wonderful. Very friendly and provided excellent service. Thanks to the kitchen staff also. They cooked us two beautiful meals. The restaurant was comfortable and welcoming. We will definitely be back soon, and recommend that people support this wonderful locally owned restaurant."

"Really enjoyed our breakfast and Patty took care of us. I had a delicious Granny Supreme omelette and my wife had a half order of biscuits and gravy and eggs. She enjoyed them but said they were a bit salty for her liking. Hopping location that was extremely busy, but they were moving people in and out pretty quick. Sat At the counter because it was first available but gives you a chance to see the operation in full swing. Sorry about the pics we were hungry before I realized I hadn't snapped a shot."

- Mark M.

"Great Food and Great Service. This diner has, by far, the best country Fried Steak I've ever eaten. Service by Trisha was excellent and the wizards in the kitchen were lightening fast! I was simply astonished with the speed that such high quality food came out, max 10 mins, probably less, I didnt time it, but it was crazy fast. I ordered country fried steak and eggs with hasbrowns and a biscuit with sausage gravy, and my wife ordered a loaded omelet with home fries and a biscuit. Both orders were correct, delicious and priced fairly. If you are in the crystal river, three sisters spring area, I highly recommend stopping here for some food."

- Rob S.

"Also authentischer fruhstucken geht glaube ich dort in der Gegend nicht. Man fuhlt sich in eine amerikanische Serie versetzt. Eine wunderbare warmherzige Atmosphare und sehr zuvorkommende und freundliche Bediungen. Ein doppelt Ei Gericht hat mich locker fur den halben Tag satt gemacht und ich musste an diesem Tag lediglich noch zu Abend essen. Wer hier vorbei kommt muss mindestens einmal bei Grannys fruhstucken!!! Wir versuchen auf dem Ruvkweg wieder vorbeizukommen."
