I read other reviews so I was intrigued by the grouper sandwich and I did not disappoint! My husband had a Philly cheesesteak that was also bomb. We happened to be the only ones in the restaurant today (off season) and it was super clean. Our server kept our drinks full and had a smile. I would definitely come back if I lived in the area. And the cook even came out to make sure we were happy! I wish I had taken a picture of my sandwich before I stuffed it in my face.

We ate here after playing a round of golf while on vacation. Very bright, open and appeared spotless. After quizzing the waitress and her checking with the chef, I was assured the Shrimp and Grits were gluten free. It was DELICIOUS! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and were numerous. It was very rich but soooo good. My husband got theb Pecan Crusted Grouper and said it was excellent as well. I would highly recommend this hidden gem. Look forward to returning next yr

Went to go have dinner with a friend of mine. Ended up having dinner with her and eight of her friends. It was Cinco de Mayo and they had a Mexican food buffet. The food was absolutely delicious especially the dessert. I cannot tell you one thing wrong with the place. It's beautiful, off the beaten path and everything about it excellent.

The food and atmosphere was awesome. The price is also very reasonable. The outdoor space has a very cozy golfing view.

We ate here a few years back and always wanted to come back because it was an unforgettable experience! We finally came back for Thanksgiving week and ate here just about every day, including the wonderful Thanksgiving buffett (Thank you guys for putting that together and working thru the holiday!) The ham and veggie medley were marvelous, along with everything else!!! We always have a warm welcome and friendly smile from Diana, our super kind hostess! Today we had Chef Mike’s pancakes, breakfast sandwich, accompanied by his signature blueberry compote over fruits and pancakes! It was amazing! The whole menu is world class! We highly recommend Crooked River Grill if you are looking for great food and a friendly environment! We’ll keep coming back for more!

I had the ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes & mixed vegs. My husband had the signature BLT & grilled vegs. Both delicious meals! We had cheesecake with strawberries for dessert- so yummy! Friendly staff, delicious food & beautiful scenery making our anniversary one to remember!

Wife and I had lunch here today after church and were quite pleased a buffet has been reinstated on Sundays. If they could only bring back the seafood like before. Service was great and we left very full and happy.
