I've rated this 4-stars, keeping in mind that this is a Family-Style restaurant, not fine dining. We were in Crystal River for business and Charlie's was right down the street. The parking lot was packed, always a good sign! We tried the Fried Sea Scallops and Broiled Grouper, both main courses were quite wonderful. The side dishes were not as good as the seafood, but we were there for the seafood! They serve a fish-style creamy cole slaw (we would've preferred traditional), an ordinary head lettuce tossed salad and an average Clam Chowder. The ambiance is family-style and relaxing. Our server was extremely attentive, friendly and helpful. Prices were quite reasonable. If we had a similar restaurant near home we would both eat there regularly.
