Note: This is a divey bar that serves Mediterranean food. This isn't a fancy restaurant where you would bring a date.
Easy 4 stars. We dropped by Crystal at 8 PM last Friday b/c we were on the search for Mediterranean food and I remember seeing Crystal on Diners Drive-ins & Dives.
The menu is scattered with basic bar food: burgers, chicken tenders, etc. The star of the menu though is the bottom corner called "Family Favorites". I ordered the "Lamb on the Rod"; it was the dish featured on triple D and I knew I had to try it out. The lamb was tender with just a small amount of char on the outside. It came with wilted onions and peppers, banana peppers, 8 wedges of a pita bread and a dash of sauce that tasted like sour cream. I would have liked a bit more char for some added smokiness, but the fact that it was grilled perfectly and not dried out was good enough for me.
I also munched on a lot of my friend's fries; they were greasy and super addicting. The greasiness was in a good way; the fries were crispy rather than wilted and soggy.
Other pluses:
The kitchen is open until 10 PM nightly and midnight on Fridays.
Everything on the menu is below 9 bucks.
