Castaways Bar & Grill

Update - April '23
The last time I was here, I had an amazing cheeseburger & fries. Today, I tried the wings. They were absolutely THE BEST wings I've ever had! WOW! 😳The wings were large and cooked to perfection. 🤌 They were fresh, hot, juicy, and perfectly sauced. The fries were crazy good as well. What a great deal for $6.99. They have icy cold beer 🍺 too. 👌
The service was just as friendly and fast as our last visit. Thanks, Donna!
↪ If your crave is for wings, you won't do better anywhere in Citrus County.

I'm SO glad we stopped to check out Castaways! 😃 Inside, you'll find an updated, clean, friendly neighborhood pub with a welcoming atmosphere. The cheeseburger 🍔 was cooked exactly how I ordered, and it was topped with super fresh veggies. SO darn good! 🤌 The fries 🍟were hot, crispy, and delicious. 😋 My order arrived at the table in a flash. Dano, the barkeep, was attentive and kind.
If your crave is for a great bar burger alongside an icy cold draft in a frosted mug, look no further!
➡  Great service, outstanding food at a fair price, and dog friendly. No complaints whatsoever. Easy 5 stars here!👍⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Typical working man's bar, the usual bar food. Happy Hour is 3 to 7 M-F. Well behaved dogs are allowed inside and there is an adjacent field for them to exercise in. No smoking inside. Kids are welcome but are not common.

Always have a good time here. JoJo Jones plays here a lot with Jay on guitar and they are great together. Good vibe, friendly staff, good food.I got the jalapeno poppers fabulous and cheese sticks and a huge pretzel

I've been to many a bar, this one is great for a couple beers, a bite to eat and a pool game if you like. Karaoke starts a bit late at night, but when you want to go to a bar that's open late in Crystal River, FL Castaways is perfect.

Amazing crowd and Great Service!!! Food was phenomenal and fast & extremely friendly service!! Gotta stop in!! Had a blast with the locals!!!

Castaway’s is a great bar/restaurant… owners are awesome folks. We enjoyed this delicious trio last night while listening to JoJo Jones play! Love this place and their wonderful staff.

Best pattymelt I've ever had. Friendly Bartender made a very good Bloody Mary. Older nice crowd. Will go back for the cheese steak. Price was inexpensive also.

Definitely try the jalapeño poppers!!
Everything we had was Great the poppers where 1 of a kind

Amazing service, singers and staff! New menu with superb choices! Lorri and Kristen rock!!

Castaways style fish sandwich and the sushi are amazing. Can’t go wrong with the burger either. Ben is the BEST waiter, ask for him!

The new owners are doing a great job it's a great atmosphere fun place to go

Awesome place! The food… you would expect this kind of food from a very fancy restaurant. Not a bar. It is a slap your mama good with an outstanding presentation. Great drink and food specials all week. And DJ Valkyrie and her favorite barmaid are amazing!!! They make the vibe so chill and fun. We absolutely love this place. 🎶💪🏻🍻🍔🍤

Cool place to hang out. The entertainers never disappoint.

We love this place. Every time we stop here the food is good and the atmosphere fun. Love to play trivia with the locals. They are so much fun

One of the best bar experiences I’ve had in a few weeks. (We are frequent bar patrons) Most excellent dry rub chicken wings. The bar tender was super attentive and conversational. His wife who I think is also employed here was off duty but giving us some samples of her own orders. Great experience. Definitely will come back.

This a great place amazing bartenders and food is always great

Great spot! And now the outside Tiki Bar is open too!

Went for lunch last week. Lori cooked our food. She and the food were amazing.
We ordered the fried jalapeños and a burger. My husband said the burger was juicy not greasy. Just all around a great experience.

Good is amazing. All the portions are huge! Full bar. Car and bike show today. Huge crowd. Nice venue. . .

We came from out of town to visit friends. We had a blast here. It's small but perfect . The karaoke lady was very cool too!
