Overstuffed Pulled Pork Sandwich
Deana B.

5 Stars! DRIVE HERE IMMEDIATELY! Not only will you be welcomed with the biggest smile in Florida, but you will also enjoy THE best BBQ (and potato salad!) ANYWHERE! Not a BBQ fan? Cool! GET THE GROUPER! Honestly, can't say enough great things about this man and his Food Truck!

After reading so many great reviews on our vacation, I drove a couple of towns over to give it a try. It has the food truck set up, which was okay with me since some of the tastiest food I've had has been from food trucks. I ordered my husband the rib plate, which came with 2 sides for $12. You really can't beat the price and the food smelled so good. I don't eat ribs but the smoky smell had me tempted. I ordered the blue crabs, which are sold by the dozen for $24. There were several people ordering the crabs so I knew then that they would have some decent weight to them or I wouldn't have seen so many customers during my short visit. The food was everything we expected and more. Not only was the food great but the service was outstanding!

JABOS'S Barbecue excellent pulled pork sandwiches.

Stopped by this place by chance have been looking for some good barbecue since I moved to springhill. I ordered the pulled pork sandwiches and they did not disappoint. It was moist and full of flavor and a very generous serving. Also ordered a pound of the prime rib unfortunately for us we found it to be dry and not very flavorful. But will give it another shot will definitely go back they have gumbo and a selection of seafood. We will be going back to try a lot of the other items on their menu. So if you're in the area stop by and try something.

Philly Cheesesteak and fries

Normally I get the philly, however, I was in the mood for some good BBQ chicken. I had the BBQ chicken dinner which came with 2 sides and was only $8.95. It was super delicious!!

Just had the best food of my entire life! Today I had the grouper nuggets, potato salad, and corn! It was to DIE for!

The owner is Willy, he is the sweetest man you will ever meet! He's the owner and chef and his food is the best I've ever had in the universe! The ribs are fall off the bone, insane perfection! The Philly cheese steaks are to DIE for, seriously! And all of the seafood is amazing and you will not regret anything you order!

Grass Fed Beef Burger...the bun was soooooo good!

Fried Shrimp and scallops and nothing tasted greasy. Hubby had Broiled Mermaid and all was good there also. Outside live music and it was hopping. Prices were reasonable.

Updated Review I've waited years to finally try Baylor Inn…read more I'm only in town occasionally, and between hurricane damage and timing, I could never get in. This trip, I brought a friend and we finally made it. The food was a mix of excellent and not‑so‑great. The peel‑and‑eat shrimp were absolutely delicious, the mussels were great, and the fish sides were wonderful. Chicken strips were solid. The mushrooms, however, were not enjoyable at all in my opinion. The building has a lot of old Florida charm, but it's definitely due for a thorough update. One thing that concerned me was the warm ketchup sitting on the table -- sauces that can spoil should really be brought out fresh with the meal. The staff I interacted with were fantastic -- very kind, well‑mannered, and quick with service. I've read some concerning things about how the manager treats people, so I'm grateful I didn't have any encounter with him during my visit. The band outside was extremely loud, so we chose to sit indoors, but at least there are options. Watching the alligators in the swamp below was definitely entertaining. The place is huge, but the entrance is confusing, and I had to ask where to go. Overall, I can see where improvements are needed, but I can also appreciate the charm and history of the place.

I got the Seafood Alfredo (from the dinner menu) and it was FABULOUS!!! Chock-full of seafood. Perfectly cooked fettuccine. And great Alfredo sauce. Im a bit of an Alfredo sauce skeptic because I make a great one at one, but this was even better than mine! My garden salad had a house-made ranch dressing which I love that they didnt skimp on. AND they bring their fabulous onion straws out to nibble on beforehand! Kudos Peck's! Exceeded my expectations. P.S. As I was leaving a pod of 5 dolphins were feeding in the inlet among the mangroves. So great atmosphere too! P.S.S. The drive down Ozello Rd to get here in very old Florida scenic and lush vegetation too!

My wife and I make it out to Crystal River for her orthodontist visits. For this visit, we resolved…read moreto seek out Peck's Old Port Cove for lunch. First of all, the drive out there can take some time, especially if you get stuck behind a driver who seemed to almost stop at every hairpin turn...not just slow down but crawl to almost a stop. There aren't a lot of spots where you can legally pass so we just had to hope they get off the road or take a turn before we get to our destination. As luck would have it, they turned right into Peck's Old Port Cove. Doh! Upon entering, we requested outdoor seating and the hostess gave us a couple of menus and two sets of silverware and instructed to head out and find a table we liked. We secured a table right by the water. After reading reviews and checking out the menu, my wife and I both ordered the almond crusted fish with lobster cream sauce and with fries, cole slaw and hush puppies. Service was a bit slow but we weren't in a hurry and the views and refreshing breeze more than made up for it. While waiting for our food, we were served some complimentary fried string onions to munch on. The fish was prepared well. Flaky white fish (which we were told was farm-raised swai, aka basa which Google indicated is related to catfish but didn't taste like it) in a nice almond breading and a sauce that perfectly complemented the fish. The cole slow and hush puppies were also good. My wife and I thought the portions were generous and we wouldn't be able to finish it...but we ended up part of the clean plate club as we ate all of it. We're so glad we made it out here...good food and good ambience. Lunch for 2 with tip came out to just over $46. NOTE: We drove out to Ozello Community Park after reading that it's a worthwhile visit. Nope! Save yourself the time...nothing to see there.

This place is such a gem! My family thoroughly enjoyed a Father's Day dinner here and though they…read moredon't take reservations, we were able to be seated quickly. They were steadily busy throughout the evening so a wait is possible if you were to arrive at peak time. The setting is casual and in an old house- hence the name. If you ask to be seated in the back room, you'll have a view of the lake. The servers were very friendly and efficient. Food and drinks were prompt! We shared the onion loaf to start and had a variety of dishes around the table from steak, lobster tails, grouper, scallops, and the multitude of accompaniments. Everything was cooked beautifully! Especially the scallops. That was probably my favorite since they melted like butter in the mouth. I also enjoyed the hush puppies that were served with every main dish. Bonus points for the fact that many of the dressings and sauces are made in house. Since it was an occasion, we had some chocolate cake for dessert which didn't disappoint. The cake was rich and fudgy. My dad is a regular so I am definitely sold. The man is a critic and if he is impressed, I know something must be good! I was also impressed and can't wait to come again.
