Hardwood Smokehouse Crystal River

The food was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Despite the bustling atmosphere, this restaurant truly is a hidden gem.

This is, without a doubt, the best local BBQ spot! Don’t bother going anywhere else. I was so impressed that I came back two days in a row just to try the entire menu. The burnt ends and the ribs are fantastic, and the corn cakes are absolutely delicious. Everything here is incredible! We love this place!! It’s family-owned and operated, which gives it a wholesome, home-cooked feel.

I went for the brisket!!! When Texas transplantation I was not disappointed, even the sauces were great! The Koleslawe was also delicious. I didn't eat, but they have cabins and the atmosphere is like a casual bar and barbecue. The staff was very nice.

Super service. Excellent food. A great addition to Citrus County. Delicious BBQ and you have to try the legend, it's the bomb! Thanks for coming back

Visiting the area after first meal , went back again. One of those best kept secrets tucked in the mall beside Rural King. Great food both times! A special homemade peach cobbler. Service I experienced was exceptional both times. I highly recommend you try this place.
