Had nothing but good things to say about Crystal Restaurant. The food was amazing! My turkey meal hit the spot when I randomly started craving turkey so bad. My kids loved their food too and anytime a restaurant offers grilled cheese on the menu for a very picky kid, that’s already a win in my book lol. Will definitely be back again for that turkey.

I love this place for its rustic feel. When you walk in, you're transported back to the 1960s. I really like the design and the lamps, and the best part is that they've kept that style. As for the food, it's delicious. The best thing is that they have fresh turkey every day. I highly recommend them. They also have excellent table service.

As someone new to the North Country, I can instantly tell this is one of those local spots you go to for the vibes. There’s a genuine community feeling inside…. warm, lively, a little nostalgic. The atmosphere was especially charming when I visited during the holiday season, and it felt like stepping into a classic hometown Christmas movie. We went specifically for the Tom and Jerry’s, and they did not disappoint. Frothy, festive, and perfectly balanced… they were honestly delicious and exactly what you want from a holiday cocktail. The food was hit or miss for me. I ordered the hot turkey sandwich, and while it was comforting in that diner-classic way, it definitely needed some salt and reminded me a bit of old-school cafeteria lunches. Not bad, just simple and a little under-seasoned. But even with the food being just okay, I would absolutely come back. The charm, the energy, and that unmistakable North Country nostalgia make it worth the visit, especially if you’re craving good company and a cheerful, small-town vibe.

The meals here are very good. So are you hungry are you traveling from another State? Looking for a good restaurant for breakfast? This is the only best restaurants on Public Square you'll fine. I have been eating breakfast here every single week for the past 3 weeks plus and it's excellent every time.

You I had such a great experience at Crystal Restaurant! The burgers are absolutely amazing—everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. Every bite was perfectly cooked and consistently delicious, which is something I really appreciate. To top it off, I ordered the brownie sundae, and it was hands-down one of the best desserts I’ve had. The brownies were clearly homemade—rich, soft, and full of flavor—and paired perfectly with the ice cream. Overall, everything was spot on. Great food, great quality, and definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!
