We have been to Pecks 3 times now as my husband really loves the food. To me the food is average. The service is what I have such difficult time accepting, First time there, we had to wait at the bar which was fine as they were very crowded, But they never ever called us for a table. We waited... more

It's a bit of an adventure driving way out onto the Ozello Keys to find this spot, but when you get there, it is authentic Florida. They farm blue crabs on site. The garlic crabs are worth the extra wait (about 50 cloves in a bowl), and the grouper is also a house specialty. For those not interested in seafood,... more

Okay so the ten mile trip down a windy road in the dark isn't for everyone. But I will always remember this restaurant as the place where I took my husband to give him the REAL FLORIDA experience. We went on a weeknight, it was quiet-had a table that you could almost see the water from. Ordered drinks that were... more

OK I didn't eat here but considering the number of cars in the lot this is a popular place. The thing important to know is that the drive to get there is scarier than the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Pacific Coastal Hwy combined. Hairpin turns like you've rarely seen. Miss a little and you are in the water. I... more

The almond crusted grouper was perfectly cooked and wonderful. Service was also excellent! Best dinner we had while in Crystal River by far. more

Beautiful scenery and Great Food. What more could you ask for. HUGE portions. My wife and I shared a Fisherman's Platter and it was all we could eat. Also the Key Lime Pie was outstanding. more

I eat at Pecks at least once every 6 weeks or so. The food is always good, the service can be slow at times if they are very busy, but not that bad. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you plan on going on a Saturday or Sunday, especially in fine weather, be prepared for a crowd. Well worth... more

My husband and I were directed here by locals as the place for seafood in Crystal River. We enjoyed our meal of broiled grouper and shrimp scampi with a fried soft shell crab as appetizer. This restaurant did not have a Chicago five star decor or service. This is Crystal River. The food was good and the service friendly, plus... more

One way to describe dinner . . . Huge portions! I love the fried seafood platters, Clams, Grouper, Oysters, Shrimp and Scallops along with slaw. You'll be stuffed. more

Since this place was rated number one on trip advisor, I decided to try it out even through there was one bad review. This is the first time trip advisor has let me down. Pecks is 9.4 miles off of the main road in Crystal River. You drive out into the middle of nowhere. Some of the scenery is old... more
