While Crystal Lake Junction offers traditional American fare, I’m partial to the Portuguese and Mediterranean influenced offerings on the menu. The Beer Can Chicken options and assorted “bowls” offer up savory and unique options in Crystal Lake.

Every aspect of our dining experience at Crystal Lake Junction was wonderful! From the hostess, who greeted us with a smile, to the gal who took our drink order, to our awesome waiter (who doubled as the bartender!) the service was outstanding and our food was delicious. We will definitely return the next time we find ourselves in Crystal Lake!

Food wasn’t bad. The buffalo chicken dip was really watery. But the grilled cheese and burger were delicious! Drinks good too

Food was just okay. Service was slow but our server was very nice. Outdoor area was nice. Not a place we will go back to.

This place is just meh. Our food came out 1 minute after our appetizer. Speaking of appetizers, I do not recommend the buffalo chicken dip- it was like soup and the chicken tasted old. I won’t be in a rush to come back. The place was almost empty on a Saturday night- the other places around were hopping.

Seemed as if they didn’t acknowledge our reservation. There wasn’t a table specifically for us and we were a bit crowded and sat in the back. Even after I called to confirm our reservation a few days prior and indicate we were celebration a special occasion they didn’t seem to care I made a reservation or care we were there.
