I've been here multiple times and this place never disappoints! Today they had wings and waffle fries which I think they only do on the weekend. They were both solid. read more

The Freezer Tiki Bar in Homosassa is one of those places that truly lives up to the hype. Cold beer, strong drinks, and the freshest seafood you can ask for. The stone crab claws are outstanding, perfectly chilled and cracked, and the shrimp are just as good. Simple, no frills, and done right. The atmosphere is pure old Florida charm. Laid back, waterfront vibes. It feels like a place locals have loved forever, and for good reason. Service is friendly and efficient, even when it is busy, and everything moves surprisingly smoothly. If you are looking for a polished or fancy experience, this is not it. If you want great seafood, cold drinks, and a fun authentic Florida stop, The Freezer is a must visit. I will absolutely be back. read more

What a funky cool spot! A must-visit quirky restaurant if you're in the area! It's located next to a dock and has some awesome peel and eat shrimp and cold beer! Very, Very flavorful! I was left craving more of this shrimp a few days later. (Be aware the servings are huge!! It's very easy to share.) read more

Came here with out of town family to have the special steak dinner on Wednesday evening. We arrived at 4:45PM and had to wait until 5PM to order our steak meal. So we ordered a half order of steamed shrimp to share with we four. It turned out to be a great appetizer. Cassandra, our waitress came by just aft5 and we ordered the 14 oz rib eye steak times two to split between two people each and it came wit potatoes and corn. The corn was not too good but everything else was great and cooked perfectly. The place was packed when we ate. The steaks took 36 minutes to arrive from ordering it was ok since we had our appetizers and beverages. It was all good read more

This is old Florida at its best. Service is fun and entertaining. The restaurant is an old freezer with a tiki bar area . You can sit inside or out. Cash only. Beer is cold and reasonable. We got the steamed shrimp that is amazing. I got the ribeye steak with potatoes and corn. The steak is cooked over a charcoal grill every Wednesday night. The cook is spot on medium rare. Don't forget the clam chowder. read more

They have a very limited menu, but what they have is absolutely delicious you should go!

This local tiki bar/restaurant is worth seeking out! It's a popular spot with locals and a friend shared this gem. First off bring cash bc it is cash only. OMG the freshest cheapest and most delicious peel and eat shrimp. We ordered 2.5 pounds and were in seafood heaven. Fresh off the boats and into our bellies! read more

The steamed shrimp was absolutely delicious! And, I enjoyed the clam chowder. Note, the shrimp has a rub on it. It's adds flavor, but it could be potentially spicy for some people. My sister and I split a full order of shrimp, and there were still some shrimp leftover. Each order comes with butter and cocktail sauce. I don't know what they put in their cocktail sauce, but it was DELICIOUS!! It was one of my favorite parts of the order. I also had the sangria. It was good, but it was nothing out of this world. The place has seating inside and outside. When we (a party of four) got there, it was packed. There was not many places to sit inside. You order at the counter, and then, they bring the food out to your table. We were a bit confused by the process at first because it looks like a wait service restaurant, but it is not. Since we couldn't find seats inside, we went outside, which was a nice setup. However, we kept getting bit by bugs, which ruined the experience but is not surprising for an outdoor space near water. Luckily, a spot ended up available inside, and we were able to eat in peace (no bugs). The staff was mixed. Some were alright, and then, a few were very helpful. There is free parking across the street. However, please note, the place is CASH ONLY. They have ATM on site, but it would've been nice for them to take card. read more

The Freezer Tiki Bar - Steamed Shrimp (Full Platter) - Seafood Near Me - Homosassa, Florida

My mom and I were out and about, exploring some of the coastal communities, and it was time for a bite to eat for lunch. We went around to a couple of the local seafood places in the area, but most of them were inundated with holiday crowds and silliness. However, we then stumbled across The Freezer, which is more of a locals kind of place that you sort of have to know about. It is well off the beaten path, doesn't exactly have the most inviting outwards appearance, and the ordering methods are a bit odd... just our kind of place! We walked in and found that a lot of the tables out by the water were open... everyone else wanted to be inside in the minimal air conditioning for some reason. It was so nice outside that it was an obvious choice for us. Mom ordered a beer, and I got a cider, and I ordered a full platter of the peel and eat shrimp. The beer went down really well, the cider was good, and when we received the shrimp we thought we had made a mistake with the sheer amount of shrimp... but it turned out to be a wonderful thing because we were able to take the left overs home... I turned mine into a wonderful pasta dish. We will very likely be returning... I know my sister would really like this place as well. read more

Decided to stop here for lunch today and we are sure happy we did! We really enjoyed the clam chowder while waiting for our seafood to arrive. We then ate every morsel of our snow crab claws and peel and eat shrimp! Topped this off with a soft pretzel and finished with a great piece of key lime dessert! Yummy!!! Get in here and have some fun and eat really good food. read more

I had a mixed experience. The shrimp was great, but the crabs were just okay. The smoked salmon dip was not the best, they could have used better crackers too. The presentation is very casual (to-go boxes), and the interior could use an update--starting with actual menus at the tables. The biggest issue, however, was the lack of accessible seating. We had to move a cushioned chair for my disabled grandmother, which led to a staff member harassing her and cursing in front of us and other guests. It was incredibly upsetting to see a customer treated that way for needing a basic accommodation. read more

From Chicago to Seafood Heaven (Bring Cash!) Visiting friends in Inverness who would not shut up about this place. Seriously, they raved. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it together, so we took the 30-minute drive on our own--and wow, are we glad we did. This spot is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall dive bar meets waterfront gem. You know, the kind of place where the food is so good, they don't need fancy décor--just fresh seafood and a killer view. I had no clue what to order, so I did what any confused, hungry person would do: I asked the regulars in line. They did not disappoint! My friends had already hyped up the shrimp, and the locals backed them up, also recommending the salmon and clam chowder. Plot twist: They were out of salmon (tragic), so I pivoted to steamed clams. Best decision ever--absolutely delicious. But let's talk about the real MVP here: the shrimp. Do yourself a favor and go double butter, double cocktail sauce. I'm telling you, this was some of the best shrimp I've ever eaten in my life. The clam chowder? Also fantastic. Perfectly balanced, loaded with clams, and just the right amount of potato--none of that watery nonsense. Service is casual and fun--you order at the bar, they yell your name when it's ready, and you yell back like you're in a seafood-themed roll call. Now, VERY IMPORTANT: BRING CASH. No cards, no Venmo, no IOUs--just good old-fashioned paper money. When my total came to $29, I actually did a double take. The server saw my face and asked, "Too expensive?" I laughed and said, "Nope, too low!" If you love great seafood and don't mind a little drive, this place is absolutely worth it. Get in the car. Now. And don't forget the cash! read more

We absolutely love this place. The food is fantastic! The best shrimp we've ever had. We've actually been 4 times this trip. Don't expect anything fancy. You get in line to order and they bring it to you in styrofoam. Expect to get your hands dirty. My only complaint is I ordered crab legs yesterday and they give you nothing to crack them open. When I asked they brought me 2 little wooden hammers which did nothing but shake the whole table. My husband went to out truck and got pliers and that worked. They were some of the best I've had but bring your own tools. read more

The atmosphere is very laid back and very local. The food is well priced and you get a lot of it. It is serviced in styrofoam and you order at the bar with cash only but do NOT let that stop you from checking it out. This place is wonderful. read more

Wow! We first saw this place on a instagram review. Yelp backed up what they said. So we had to come! It's a hole in the wall dive bar restaurant. Which we love! They were out of smoked mullet dip, which I really wanted, but the smoked salmon dip was amazing too! It came with a healthy portion of dip and a full sleeve of saltine crackers. The real star of the show here it's the shrimp go ahead and order double butter, double cocktail . It was some of if not the best shrimp I've ever eaten in my life, even my buddy who doesn't really care for shrimp tore his tray up! Service is great, you order at the bar for all food and they will bring it to your table . Absolutely phenomenal seafood right on the water. I highly recommend the drive to come here! read more

Very fresh food, perfectly cooked, and overall great vibes. Seasoning was lacking. Bring a bag, butter, and seasonings and make your own boil in-house. That would be a 10/10 read more

The shrimp is really good, the service was outstanding for as busy as they were, and we always enjoy dropping by whenever we are visiting that area of Florida. It brings back a lot of happy memories of times with my parents. I would definitely recommend a visit, even if you have to wait to be fine a seat. read more

Today, Sunday, we arrived at 11:40. Most of the indoor tables were taken (it was raining). Ordered our peel and eat shrimp and for the first time tried the smoked mullet appetizer. One negative was that it really took quite a while to receive our order, but that mullet was superb. A whole fish! What can I say about the shrimp? Fantastic, as usual. No pictures this time. Presentation is not the Freezer's strong suit, but the quality of the food is excellent. read more

Food here is amazing! Usually go for the steamed shrimp. So good, cooker perfectly every time. Tried the wings, also plump juicy and well cooked. This is order at the counter and we will deliver to your table kind of place. They only take cash but have an ATM. Nice outside picnic tables available. Staff is great. This place is always busy! Bring your patience, you will be rewarded! read more

The place was packed so we had high hopes. But the food was a real disappointment. The shrimp were overcooked and the pretzel was one of the frozen ones and tasted like it had freezer burn. They poured butter all over the pretzel which made it that much less appealing. Drinks were way watered-down. The only thing that was good was the can of Coca Cola. I definitely don't get the appeal of this place. read more

What a fun no-frills place! The peel & eat Shrimp is always perfect. Everyone is so friendly. I've met some interesting people who sit at the round bar tables or on the long bar shelf. I met a couple from Anchorage Ak, the husband is an Anchorage, Ak. policeman, where my son Rob lives, they are neighbors!! read more
