This is the perfect honky tonk, Old Florida joint right on the water. The seafood is excellent and the atmosphere is great. The Mahi tacos were delicious. Service was friendly and prompt. There’s a bar, marina, shop, etc.

This is a funky but cool place on the waterfront. The menu is outstanding as is the food. I'd go back when in the area again. It was my birthday and I wanted to be on the water with a good view and I wanted a specific table that was open but the hostess fought me because the server was busy..but there were other servers. My friend and I went out to their Tiki and dined there instead of the main dining room and it was perfect!

We chose this establishment off the internet without ever having been there before. We were very happy with the choice. Our server was friendly and attentive. All five of us agreed that the food was great, it was served very hot, and it was plentiful. Whenever we meet in Chrystal River again, we will definitely choose Waterfront Social.

Always lovely to sit outside next to the Crystal River and enjoy excellent quality food. Many excellent choices to please every diner. I recommend the Tuna Poke Bowl with Tuna lightly seared. Good bar as well.

We were a party of 8. We sat outside because the weather was reasonable but there were at least 50 birds swooping down stealing food from any table that was left unattended for even a second -- we watched birds steal food off of plates being brought out to customers when the wait staff turned around for just a few seconds... Food: the appetizers were excellent -- we had Fried allegator bites and Fried Grouper bites and a pound of peel & eat shrimp. -- all excellent. 4 of the 8 of us ordered the blackened Grouper (including myself) and that was good (not excellent ... but still good) a bit dry; seasoned veggies overdone; good rice. 3 of the remaining 8 ordered crab stuffed chicken and the chicken and that had been pre- prepared ... the chicken was too dry to eat (none of the three ate more than one bite of the chicken) -- they said the crab stuffing was good... Desserts -- were store bought... Resses peanut butter pie and Salted caramel cheesecake. average at best. Service was ok. Wasn't bad - Wasn't great. It was a 3 star experience at best.

We had a very enjoyable dinner. Our server, Sabrina, was excellent. Everything she recommended was a great choice. My husband had the pork chop which he said was very good. My crab and spinach chicken was tasty. The specialty cocktails were a little pricey but otherwise not too bad. Enjoyed being able to look out at the water.
