Homosassa Restaurants

[bob47]

We will be in the Homosassa area on Sunday. Are there any restaurants, any type, that TOTV members would recommend?

If you like shrimp check out The Freezer....hole in the wall but awesome shrimp

Taverna Manos in Crystal River. Only a few miles away and outstanding.

Peck's Old Port Cove, 139 N Ozello Trail, Crystal River, Florida 34429. You will think you are lost as you drive down Ozello Trail following your GPS but the food is good.

We just love going to The Freezer with our friends. Very busy/noisy, you have to find your own table, and order at a counter, but it's different, fun, and the food is great. They cook shrimp to perfection.

Get to the freezer, when stone crabs are in season--GREAT

The Plantation Inn on Chrystal River has an excellent restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Both The Freezer and Perks are great choices. The Freezer is more boisterous and has a fun atmosphere about it and the shrimp are great...menu is somewhat limited. People are there to drink as much as to eat. If you want something a tad more low key then try Perks. Much larger selection and it's on the water so you can sit outside and enjoy the view. Food is awesome too. There's another restaurant where you can sit and watch "Monkey Island", an actual little island inhabited by a handful of monkeys. They live there and someone brings them their food by boat everyday. It's entertaining to watch. If you google "Monkey Island" restaurant the name should pop up. It's near The Freezer.

"Perks"? You mean Pecks? That's in Crystal River.
The restaurant at Monkey Island is the Riverside and it's gone.

The Freezer for their crab legs....must bring your own lobster crackers.

I was provided with mallet for Stone Crab legs last week

Pecks is down Ozella trail and the trail reminds me of driving down the Keys, especially Card Sound road where the water is only about a foot lower than the 2 lane road.

We try to avoid the mallet approach, much neater using a lobster cracker......but maybe not as much fun....;)
