I came for itilian (with sweet peppers) and stayed for the unique steak and cheese. If you get there early enough there might be sausage lwft, thats a real treat of a sandwich.”

I drive to them 2-3 times a week now to have some of the amazing coffee that they make and roast in house. Pedro and Alejandro (owners) who I have come to known are amazing, friendly and professional and their love for coffee shows in every cup I drink. Nice environment and people go there, highly highly recommend!”

Milano is the real deal. I’ve never been treated better in any restaurant than we have been here, with amazing Italian food to back it up. Our two visits here, literally speechless. Everything from the soups, sauces, pastas, are made in house. Their meatballs are the best thing I ever ate. Not going anywhere else for Italian food. All of this is coming from an Italian from Philly….”
“When I say I’ll never eat a sub from anywhere else ever again, I mean this place is amazing!

Keep up the amazing work!”

“Katya is a special and amazing dining experience here in Ocala ! They treat you like family and pay special attention to every detail to make it memorable! We celebrated my birthday there, Chef Tony and his staff when above and beyond to celebrate it for me !”
“Awesome place for special occasion. Expensive, but worth it. $100 easy for 2. All you can eat. The sides are phenomenal and tons of meat options. From chicken, lamb, filet minion, ribeye, bacon wrapped...my wife's favorite is the roasted pineapple and cinnamon. Definitely will enjoy your time and not super loud. Looking forward to the next trip back. Hopefully it's not another year before that happens.”
“We had an amazing Thanksgiving Dinner here this year. The service & staff were amazing, made it feel very comfortable & like home. We have also enjoyed dinner here several times with same great service and delicious food!!”
“Went to La Cuisine in Ocala for the first time. Loved the food. Started with seared foie gras over gingerbread, along with a glass of Sauvignon blanc. Then had the duck magret over risotto, while my wife had cassoulet, along with a glass of red Cahors. Ended the meal with a floating island/ile flottante. Excellent meal, and we got to talk to the french chef and owner, Patrice, who grew up near Lyon, my hometown. Delicious evening, highly recommend the place. One of the best French restaurants I have been to in the US, for sure.”
“First time dining at this Bonefish Grill. Our waitress Nan (sorry not sure of spelling she was Asian) was very professional, friendly, and knows the food well. She suggested the Rock Cod delicious melt in your mouth. The atmosphere was wonderful and set up very nice. Would recommend our friends and family about this Bonefish Grill.”
“Had a great breakfast at lunch time. I would have rated it 5 stars except for the fact that the scrambled eggs weren't fluffy like I prefer and the bacon wasn't crispy. But these are just personal preferences. Everything else was delicious.”
“Kimberly was the best waitress I have had in a real long time. She pays attention to what the customer orders and makes sure your order is right before she brings it to your table.”
“Very friendly bar tender, sorry I can't remember her name. Despite the bar being full and busy, she still engaged with each person and was very attentive and I never saw anyone having to wait for a refill as she was spot on.The gator tail was amazing. The wings were pretty good as well. The food I saw from other patrons looked great as well.I will definitely go back to try other items. Well worth the trip. Plenty of beer options served in ice cold mugs.”
“My partner and I got the mango and strawberry milkshake, teriyaki steak rice bowl, and the calamari. The dining room was packed yet the server did such a great job to make sure everyone got what they needed. I never tried seafood so I was new to it but it was pretty good, especially the milkshakes. My partner loves the boba tea here too, I'm not the biggest fan of boba so I cannot rate it honestly. I suggest going here but watch the price it can be a bit much, it cost us $61.50 total but we did get a couple apparatizers too. The rice bowls range from $12.50-$14.50. great place though.Kid-friendliness: They seemed to be very kind and patient with children. When a party of five came in and one child needed a highchair they immediately grabbed one for them despite their businesses.”
“My lady and I came for lunch and had an amazing time. I’m mexican and grew up around the food here in the US and Mexico and have to say the enchiladas reminded me so much of the way my mom would make it. Everything was so flavorful from the sauces to the protein and tortillas. Tasted very authentic. Our server was Heather and she was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of (: Would definitely come back and recommend this place. The atmosphere is also gorgeous.”
“Had the Pad Prik and ventured out of my "BBQ" comfort zone. Lemme tell you, this food was phenomenal. She had Pad Thai as per her usual and was very pleased. We will return.”
“5 out of 5 every time! Shrimp tacos, Papas Locas, homemade queso, and always made-to-order! Reminds me of the tacos in San Diego and they are top notch! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️!!!!”
“We ate yesterday at the Pony and as loud and crowded as it was. They were so efficient. The best part for sure was our server! Jonathan was tremendous. He knew how to serve people even as crowded as it was. So kudos to him! He made our meal.”
“What a wonderful dining experience! Kevin did a phenomenal job taking care of us. So happy to have a truly wonderful restaurant in Ocala FINALLY! Scallops and lobster Mac were amazing along with everything else we tried. Can’t wait to return! GET THE BUTTER CAKE.”
“I'm sure we all can agree..it's hard to find good Chinese takeout. I'm new to Reddick and heard about China Taste and took a chance ... glad I did. Terrific service (polite, fast and friendly) along with great food .( I ordered sweet and sour chicken and beef lo mein...so my search for good Chinese takeout has come to an end. Thank you CHINA TASTE.”

“The best waffle house in Ocala. Come in on a Friday/Saturday past 12 and watch the fun unfold. Seating will be limited at those times but the entertainment? Endless. Any other time is just as good though. The best staff in Ocala, they take care of you like their own children.”
“YES ACTUALLY I'M JUST QUITE CURIOUS WHO IS SLEEPING WITH MY HUSBAND FROM THIS LOCATION?? HE'S MARRIED WITH CHILDREN HE HAS A WHOLE LIFE SURELY YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT! SO IF YOU DON'T MIND POPPING UP AND LETTING ME KNOW WHO IN THE HOME WRECKING TRASH YOU ARE I WILL MAKE IT A POINT TO EMBARRASS YOU ON THE SPOT. I'VE BECOME QUITE FAMILIAR WITH YOUR SCHEDULE.”
“This review is for Viktoryia, Some of the meanings of your name are victorious and winner.You are definitely that plus some ❤️?Be blessed beautiful lady ❤️”
“I was having a horrible day, no food and was trying to make a purchase before heading out of town. Repeatedly my card was declined. After multiple calls it turned out the bank had turned my card off. Frustrated to the point of exhaustion, Danielle who has a soul of gold paid for my meal and pretty much saved my life. She does not know this, but without her, I would've been in the hospital this evening and violated probation. I'm so thankful there are people like her in this world. Bring your money and shop here. The entire staff are awesome. If I ever decide to move back here, I'm getting a part time job just to thank her and she never has to take the trash out again. Thank you all for making my day, and the comments. I wasn't sleep. Mary Jane had me tired. Long night of celebrations. Lol. Heard all that.”
“Nice and clean establishment.. the staff is friendly and helpful.. There was a short wait due to a number of orders ahead of mine but the food prep process definitely puts some food out in a timely fashion. The food is hot and yummy.. I got the chicken bowl with the Mac & Cheese.. very good...”
“The sunday morning worker's was funny and fast. They were very friendly and helpful. Made sure food was good and hot. And served a good amount of food. Waffles were soft. ”
“Customer service goes a long way. I want to give a shout out to Ivy for her warm smile, and very polite manners. She is the epitome of excellent customer service and deserves a raise! She took advantage of every moment to show gratitude and kindness.On top of that, this location is spacious, allowing truckers ample room to take a break and even plug in a laptop to watch a movie and check emails while eating. And speaking of eating, thos location actually made the best fish sandwich I have yet ever had at an Arby's, in addition to perfect crinkle-cut fries - not too crisp, perfect amount of salt, and fresh!My only criticism is that the dining room needed a cleaning pretty badly - several tables had scraps of good on them, and many had trash underneath, with half the tables having their chairs out and ajar. It was not busy at all, and one or two of the other employees could have been out in the dining room cleaning, as it looked like it hadn't been touched since lunch time.Again, kudos should be given to Ivy for her customer service being on point, and even exceeding expectations!”
“This was by far the best McDonald's experience I've had in years. From the moment I walked thru the door, until I left, it was just fantastic. I travel a lot, and have had some terrible experiences elsewhere, but this was the best run store I've probably ever been to. The cashier greeted me with a smile, was very attentive and thankful. The manager was wonderful, and does a great job keeping her team going, and hiring the right people. Everyone has great attitudes, and does their job well. I highly recommend this location!”
“I would highly recommend this as a must try! Believe me you won’t regret it! Everything I come I always receive a friendly greeting,the food is on point,and I always leave happy.”
“Went here for coffee, it was busy but not over crowded. The owner/staff were nice and the coffee was great. I didn't get food this time but I think I'll come back to try it, everything smelt so good.”
“Bless was a very attentive, sweet, speedy, and accurate waitress! Made our experience wonderful and the food was some of the best we’ve had in a long time. Definitely would come back again!”

“Stopped in for a late afternoon pick me up and found this "gym" of a Cafe! One of us had a delicious housemade honey lavender and cinnamon latte and I enjoyed a chocolate peanut butter protein shake, while having pleasant conversation with the owner. Will definitely stop here again while in Ocala, and plan to drop in for a crossfit session next door!”
“The food used to be better here. The veggie patty had little flavor - tasted like canned/frozen veggies. The cabbage used to taste way better, now it's okay (bit bland). Plantains were good, and rice was alright.”
“This is one of the better markets that I have been to. The vegetable vendors have a huge variety of items on offer. And the craft sellers have some unique and high quality items also.”
“Come one, come all! What more can I say had an excellent time with wonderful service and pairings. Driven past a million times, first time dining in. I will definitely be back. 5 stars folks.”
“My wife and I tried Formaggios for the first time today and loved it. The pizza reminds me of my childhood in Queens New York. Delicious with a crust that snaps when you fold it. We can’t wait to try the other menu items. If they are as good as the pizza then I know we won’t be disappointed. Will be back soon and often.”
“My sister hosted her wedding reception at Marcelina’s and to say that everything was perfect would be an understatement. The atmosphere was as elegant from table settings, decor, even down to the Italian tunes playing in the background. Everything was beautiful. The service was incredible with friendly staff all more than accommodating and the food was incredibly good. I fully recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal, great service and atmosphere. All around amazing experience. Thank you to the amazing staff that made my sisters wedding wonderful and memorable.”
“This is a great place to take the family out for a treat. They have lots of choices to choose from and at a decent price. The only downside is the shop itself is small so if there is a big crowd it is congested. Also they don't take any cards or mobile pay, only cash.”
“Spring rolls were average... nothing unique. They were not large at all. $3 a roll they should be larger.The Pho I can confirm other reviews is very good. Not the best I've ever had but I've visited likely over 100 unique pho places around Canada and the USA. Meat was fresh and had a fair amount for the price. Broth was flavorful but lacked a certain PHO sweetness that should be there in my opinion. Noodle amount good, but slightly overcooked. Decent amount of onions.”
“We had pizza and eggplant rollatini which were both excellent. The cheesy garlic bread was delicious! The service was great. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for good Italian food. The guy next to us got the gyro and said it was also wonderful. We will be back.”
“Had lunch at outback steakhouse , silver Springs highway. Our waitress was Sue and she is one one wonderful waitress. Very attentive. Happy smiling make you feel like you're just right there at home and at your own dining room table. The steaks were great. I had such a great tasting tender steak it melted in my mouth. wonderful lunch today. We will be heading back to silver Springs highway to outback again to see Sue. Thank you Sue for your wonderful service”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I have to say this place is the best. They have the BEST ice cream and so many options to choose from. We love coming here. We get to eat ice cream, listen to fun music, and the kids get to play with bubbles, chalk and hula hoops. It's honestly my kids favorite thing to do. The staff is amazing and so friendly, especially the manager. If your looking for a delicious treat and a fun time I HIGHLY recommend.”
“The food was pretty good for my first time trying it out. Amazing service I got when I visited, props to Austen, I'd definitely go back again for the food and amazing hospitality I received from him!”
“This restaurant quickly became addicting. Never had a bad plate and it's always hot and fresh, worth the wait. I'm a fan of the oysters. Great menu, great food.Definitely a fan!”

“Always the best food! It is one of my favorite places to eat. The lemon basil is my favorite and when they were low on stock they accommodated for me so I can get the usual 10/10 experience I have here. The staff is always so kind and friendly and helpful. Love it here”
“The staff is fast efficient and accurate the price is fair it's always a bit messy but they have a very high volume at this location so overall I believe they do a good job The food is always hot the staff is always kind. The quality and cost are fair compared to others. I use this location on a regular basis because I think it's one of the better.”
“Surpising, It was very good. The staff is great. The building is old but clean inside. The outside needs attention. We've been a long-time lovers of LJS.”
“Best BBQ in town. The ribs are great. Salad bar was really good and the sweet tea was good also. The staff was friendly. And we came a hour before closing. High Five for the night shift ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Recently went to Arby’s after a long hiatus. The food was HOT, FRESH and the service was extraordinary friendly. Since COVID I have been going to Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and Burger King. After extremely long waits receiving cold food and messed up orders. Recently waited 45 minutes to receive no sauce for my nuggets and cold food. I will drive the extra couple of miles to go to ARBY’S from now on. THANKS for your spectacular service. Hats off to your employees!!!”
“Food was delicious and the girl who brought my order to me was quick and very sweet! I was able to order and receive my order (delivered to my car) in the same amount of time or faster than if I'd gone through the drive through. Less stress than waiting behind people. When you pull into one of the ordering spots you have time to look over the menu without feeling pressed for time, and then you just push the red button when you're ready to order. They answer right away. My food was brought to me in under 5 minutes.”
“My husband saw a post on media about Lee’s and we went to check it out. We ordered the three and two piece chicken strip meals. One with potato wedges and the other with baked beans. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken strips were fresh, tasty and moist. The potato wedges tasted amazing. They were crunchy on the outside and light me a. Baked potato on the inside. The seasoning was just perfect. I was not a fan of the baked beans…they were a little too weird looking for me. And I did not care for the taste at all. Did not taste like your regular baked beans. They had some red little pieces in them, just not what I expected. Next time I’ll order coleslaw or green beans. Their deserts were oh so good! We will definitely come back.”
“Being the only authentic Colombian food restaurant in the area, I think it needs to be relocated, since the place where it is does not help it, there are new places with a kitchen suitable for restaurants on Route 200 between 90th and 80th that for example would help much in its expansion. Taking as an example the restaurant chain “Noches de Colombia” in New Jersey that started with one in North Bergen NJ and now there are about 25 restaurants in the NY-NJ area, very successful among the Latin community.”
“I recommend them because they are very friendly and very helpful and the food is awesome!!!!! they've run daily specials which is awesome in my eyes!!!! and if you go through the drive-thru I learned the girls there are amazing they're very polite and very cheerful and always smiling”
“Awesome place for special occasion. Expensive, but worth it. $100 easy for 2. All you can eat. The sides are phenomenal and tons of meat options. From chicken, lamb, filet minion, ribeye, bacon wrapped...my wife's favorite is the roasted pineapple and cinnamon. Definitely will enjoy your time and not super loud. Looking forward to the next trip back. Hopefully it's not another year before that happens.”

“Great place to stop for protein foods! The donuts are so good and the teas are 10/10. the owners are always very welcoming and service is great. They have a monthly menu and are always coming up with new drinks.Vegetarian options: So GOOD!!!!”
“hands down BEST breakfast we've had in long time. I found them by looking for new breakfast places to check out. the location is in a tiny unassuming plaza, but it's the cutest hole in the wall gem you could ever wish for. the decor is perfect, think vintage coke cola type design. super clean. their pies are made fresh and they offer the coke from Mexico which has the sugar cane vs fructose. now our food. I had the smoked sausage. it's huge piece of that amazing favor kettle type with the best smashed and crispy potatoes and the absolute best flavor eggs ever. I opted for 2 small pancakes, also amazing flavor Instead of toast.

“We were immediately greeted by the delicious smell of fresh and aromatic garlic bread. We had a 20 minute wait for our calzone, which we spent seated outside, with a kitchen view. We watched our calzone being made to order, so we were definitely ready to eat when they brought it outside to our table. It was both huge and delicious, with tons of cheese. The 2 of us ate our fill and brought home enough leftovers to feed another adult dinner. I highly recommend you give this place a try.”

The menu has a lot of variety, dishes from different Latin countries. The price is very reasonable. Fast and quality service, very friendly employees. Our waiter was Jaime “El Mariachi”, he served us very well and was very aware that we were comfortable with our visit. I recommend this restaurant 100%.”

“Kathryn at mojos on 40 is amazing!!! my fiancé and i went to eat there and she did everything to make sure we were taken care of! i ended up not liking one of my drinks and totally didn’t expect her to take it off because it was on me that i didn’t like it and she took care of us. my fiancés boneless wings were a little burnt and we didn’t have to say anything and she picked them off the table and cleared it from our bill! Kathryn will be the reason we go back!”

“☆☆☆☆☆ amazing!!!!! The portions were plentiful and everything was seasoned perfectly. I had the jerk chicken with rice and cabbage, my son had the oxtail with Mac and cheese and cabbage. we can't wait to return. ocala definitely needed a great place like this!. The owner was so friendly and generous, allowing us samples of the ice cream. scotch bonnet ice cream is my new favorite. who knew?”
“My wife and I tried Formaggios for the first time today and loved it. The pizza reminds me of my childhood in Queens New York. Delicious with a crust that snaps when you fold it. We can’t wait to try the other menu items. If they are as good as the pizza then I know we won’t be disappointed. Will be back soon and often.”
“My sister hosted her wedding reception at Marcelina’s and to say that everything was perfect would be an understatement. The atmosphere was as elegant from table settings, decor, even down to the Italian tunes playing in the background. Everything was beautiful. The service was incredible with friendly staff all more than accommodating and the food was incredibly good. I fully recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal, great service and atmosphere. All around amazing experience.

“Enjoyed the food! Went last night after trick or treating and were greeted by friendly staff that had a bowl full of candy and a free slice of cheese pizza for my daughter. They brought it out right away so she didn’t have to wait for all of the other food. It was our waitress’s first shift there and she was great!”
“Spring rolls were average... nothing unique. They were not large at all. $3 a roll they should be larger.The Pho I can confirm other reviews is very good. Not the best I've ever had but I've visited likely over 100 unique pho places around Canada and the USA. Meat was fresh and had a fair amount for the price. Broth was flavorful but lacked a certain PHO sweetness that should be there in my opinion. Noodle amount good, but slightly overcooked. Decent amount of onions.”
“Went to La Cuisine in Ocala for the first time. Loved the food. Started with seared foie gras over gingerbread, along with a glass of Sauvignon blanc. Then had the duck magret over risotto, while my wife had cassoulet, along with a glass of red Cahors. Ended the meal with a floating island/ile flottante. Excellent meal, and we got to talk to the french chef and owner, Patrice, who grew up near Lyon, my hometown. Delicious evening, highly recommend the place. One of the best French restaurants I have been to in the US, for sure.”
“First time dining at this Bonefish Grill. Our waitress Nan (sorry not sure of spelling she was Asian) was very professional, friendly, and knows the food well. She suggested the Rock Cod delicious melt in your mouth. The atmosphere was wonderful and set up very nice. Would recommend our friends and family about this Bonefish Grill.”
“We had pizza and eggplant rollatini which were both excellent. The cheesy garlic bread was delicious! The service was great. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for good Italian food. The guy next to us got the gyro and said it was also wonderful. We will be back.”
“Had lunch at outback steakhouse , silver Springs highway. Our waitress was Sue and she is one one wonderful waitress. Very attentive. Happy smiling make you feel like you're just right there at home and at your own dining room table. The steaks were great. I had such a great tasting tender steak it melted in my mouth. wonderful lunch today. We will be heading back to silver Springs highway to outback again to see Sue. Thank you Sue for your wonderful service”
“hands down BEST breakfast we've had in long time. I found them by looking for new breakfast places to check out. the location is in a tiny unassuming plaza, but it's the cutest hole in the wall gem you could ever wish for. the decor is perfect, think vintage coke cola type design. super clean. their pies are made fresh and they offer the coke from Mexico which has the sugar cane vs fructose. now our food. I had the smoked sausage. it's huge piece of that amazing favor kettle type with the best smashed and crispy potatoes and the absolute best flavor eggs ever. I opted for 2 small pancakes, also amazing flavor Instead of toast. Long review short, we saved $6 as we usually eat at darrells and got the most amazing breakfast. they are 100% our new wkly go to for breakfast.i can't wait for my friends visiting to bring them here. oh and yes, you literally can see Nancy cooking all your food. excellent waitress and help and it came out very fast. well done Nancy, if owning a great resturant was your dream, congrats bc you more than exceeded. truly made my day.”

“Had a great breakfast at lunch time. I would have rated it 5 stars except for the fact that the scrambled eggs weren't fluffy like I prefer and the bacon wasn't crispy. But these are just personal preferences. Everything else was delicious.”

“Craft beer on tap, no food so to speak, chips, cheese, dips like the kind you pick up in grocery stores.This place is like a Cracker Barrel gift area.Had an "internet cafe" feel, not a general store.”

“Very friendly bar tender, sorry I can't remember her name. Despite the bar being full and busy, she still engaged with each person and was very attentive and I never saw anyone having to wait for a refill as she was spot on.The gator tail was amazing. The wings were pretty good as well. The food I saw from other patrons looked great as well.I will definitely go back to try other items. Well worth the trip. Plenty of beer options served in ice cold mugs.”

“I go every other day or so to enjoy reading my book and having a beer. Seeing the random dogs that come to the establishment brings me joy. The fact that this establishment is dog friendly sends me over the moon. And the staff is absolutely amazing. Trivia night on Tuesdays is the bomb and I go every week you should too, starts at 7pm. If you’re looking for a great chill time, that’s not like other bar settings where you can’t hear yourself talk or think, then this is the place for you!”
“Bobby was my wait staff with a wonderful personality. I liked him from the moment we met. He served my food bubbling hot. I was extremely impressed. He was very attractive and kind. I'll be sure to ask for him nextq time. Great experience. ?”
“Service was amazing! Very friendly and on top of making sure you are taken care of. Coffee was delicious. Very easy to understand menu with vegan and gluten free options. Bathroom was clean and decor was fun. Large portion of well cooked food.Thank you!”
“This was such a yummy, authentic Italian eatery...my husband had a Stromboli and it must gave weighed 5 lbs, I mean it was stuffed with meats and ricotta cheese,but you can change the cheese if you don't like they original way. I had a small salad,it was ok, and the fried calamari appetizer...my husband is not a seafood guy and he said it was the best he's tried and actually ate it with me... then i had a dish that was like a lasagna with ricotta and motz cheese layered with eggplant ? ?, oh they bring bread to the table with butter, so so good!!We each had 3 meals off of what we ordered! Sorry I forgot to get pics.After that go across the parking lot to the cousins Italian Gelato and pastry place for dessert. It was so good. They had make everything. And will let you try every flavor.”
“Dear Ralph's Burger Shop team,I wanted to extend my sincere gratitude for the outstanding experience I had at your establishment. The service was excellent, and the burgers, along with the onion rings, were truly delicious. Kudos to the kitchen team for the great job in cooking up those fantastic burgers. Thank you for making my visit memorable!Best regards,Tina & Steve Mervolion”
“punk at its core, it's a fantastic bar with incredible food. probably the best meatball hoagie I've ever had and some banging wieners to slip in your mouth too. staff was great.”
“Super good food. This was our first time trying them and didn't quite know if it would be good. We got 6 hard and 6 soft ground beef tacos along with two steak super nachos. On the side we got extra salsa, corn chips, and guacamole. All of it was very good. Not too salty in my opinion and not greasy. Fairly priced and good portions as well.”
“Food is so good, wish I had asked for some extra sauce on the side for my wings but still amazing! The Greek salad!!! Omg phenomenal! And the Cajun fries are fantastic. Highly recommend.”
“Great place. We showed up on trivia night and were told they didn’t have room. We went out to the car to plan where else to go. The bar tender came out and told us they had made room for us. Great customer service and great beer! Thank you Tyler!”
“Our server Allysa was absolutely amazing! She greeted us with such a heartfelt welcome then with an amazing talent gave us a remarkable and very impressive very detailed of just about everything on the menu! In complete detail! I can’t make this up! Her extreme up beat personality was enough to tell everyone how wonderful she made our experience so wonderful! She’s only been in Florida for 3 years and treated us like the favorite family members! Her talents went above and beyond! You must ask for her!!Our food came out on a very timely manner! The quality of the food was excellent! The specials was exactly how Allysa described! Extremely flavorful and most delicious!Overall I highly recommend this place! The manager was above and beyond wonderful with his introduction!Such a wonderful experience!We will definitely be back!Thank you to all the wonderful people in the back scene who we didn’t see who was preparing our meal! You guys absolutely rock!Thank you!-From Jen & Paul & Mike & Pam”
“Great new waitress Tracie, really great attitude and very helpful in choosing our meals, first time there and will be back ask for this waitress and you won't be disappointed. Great food to”
“I ordered takeout. I loved that there was a 15 min parking section out front – good for just picking up orders. The sushi was great and the prices were average. Looking like my new favorite in the area. I'll have to try their thai and noodle dishes next time.”
“Great little taco stand with reasonable prices. I had the Carne Asada and Pastor tacos. Everything is made to order so it's not the fastest but it's amazing so sit down at the picnic table and you won't regret it!”
“Went to dinner last night for the first time it was a great dining experience, Tyliea was an awesome server the food was great the manager checked on us as well as other tables around us. We will be back again. Thank you storming crab.”

“Brought home enough food for my two sons, 1is 6'5" teen, myself and my wife. This only cost 24.00, and it all was hot and delicious. The proteins were warmed on the flattop and vegetables were fresh. The verde and red sauce had great flavor as well. Definitely bring dinner home from here again! Its 50 for 4 of us to eat subs or equivalent meals. They take cash or credit, there is a surcharge for card....”
“I love eating at Cracker Barrel it is my comfort place now my granddaughter said Mimi are we going to your breakfast place today. She loves it too. she cannot drink cows milk it would be nice if you served almond milk. Thanks for everything”
“Really Great sloppy Joe & pulled sandwiches. Crinkle French fried were hot & tasty. I haven't been there in a while while traveling & it was as good as ever. Awesome waitress too. Quick service. Love the sweet bbq sauce.”
“Great service, staff is very friendly and warm welcoming. Family oriented staff members, this restaurant has been here for as long as I can remember. Definitely recommend.”
“This restaurant quickly became addicting. Never had a bad plate and it's always hot and fresh, worth the wait. I'm a fan of the oysters. Great menu, great food.Definitely a fan!”
“First time visiting and will definitely be back. I ordered the turkey, pepperoni, cappy and provolone.The bread was soft and fresh and all of the toppings and proteins were delicious! I ordered the sandwich exactly as was designed, without adding or subtracting anything and I will say it was absolutely perfect.”
“My partner and I got the mango and strawberry milkshake, teriyaki steak rice bowl, and the calamari. The dining room was packed yet the server did such a great job to make sure everyone got what they needed. I never tried seafood so I was new to it but it was pretty good, especially the milkshakes. My partner loves the boba tea here too, I'm not the biggest fan of boba so I cannot rate it honestly. I suggest going here but watch the price it can be a bit much, it cost us $61.50 total but we did get a couple apparatizers too. The rice bowls range from $12.50-$14.50. great place though.Kid-friendliness: They seemed to be very kind and patient with children. When a party of five came in and one child needed a highchair they immediately grabbed one for them despite their businesses.”
“We’ve been here a few times and we love it so much. Today our waitress was very sweet and attentive. She was on top of our drink order, making sure we had refills. The pizza here is great and is very flavorful. Can’t wait to go back.”
“Originally I was told this was not a good place to eat. I'm glad I didn't listen. It is like fast hibachi. The amount of food they give you is well worth it. I had the shrimp tempura roll. It was six pieces for $6.00. Each piece was a little bigger than a normal roll even only being four pieces. The chicken teriyaki and fried rice were very good. I will definitely stop here again. They have ginger sauce, yum yum sauce, eel sauce and I am sure many more. They have seaweed flakes at the table.Parking: There is plenty of parking and wheel chair accessible.”
“My lady and I came for lunch and had an amazing time. I’m mexican and grew up around the food here in the US and Mexico and have to say the enchiladas reminded me so much of the way my mom would make it. Everything was so flavorful from the sauces to the protein and tortillas. Tasted very authentic. Our server was Heather and she was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of (: Would definitely come back and recommend this place. The atmosphere is also gorgeous.”
“It was our first time there. The food was delicious. We even bought desserts to take home. We will definitely be going back.. We did not leave there hungry. We had to bring leftovers home.. They will be seeing us a lot more often.”
“Fun place to come and visit. Nice shade to sit in while waiting for food. Cash only. I ordered the Mahi Mahi Rice Bowl and split it with my wife. Plenty of food to go between her and I. Super tasty. A wide variety of hot sauces are available to use on the food. Quick to get food once ordered. I'll be back in the future. Service was a little odd at the window. Nothing to significantly decrease my review.”
“We stopped here for breakfast on our way to Georgia. The eggs were farm fresh and cooked perfectly. The home fries with peppers and onions were good as well. We had great service, too.”
“This was my 1st time here, the scallop appetizers were delicious, not overcooked and seemed fresh, the salad I had with chicken on top was ok...but, the salad could have used more veggies in it and the chicken portion was small.”
“Love this place. Great Caesar salad, great startup steak, great bread pudding & cookies! Great Brussel sprouts & fries & sweet potato mash too. Mac & cheese was also very good.”
“Had the Pad Prik and ventured out of my "BBQ" comfort zone. Lemme tell you, this food was phenomenal. She had Pad Thai as per her usual and was very pleased. We will return.”
“Saw this place while browsing Google Maps and figured I’d give it a try. The outside look of the building looks less inviting, but don’t let that fool you. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. Out of most of the places I’ve eaten at here in Ocala, their food tastes the most fresh and had a ton of flavor. They have a simpler menu with Al La Carte Taco’s, Burritos, Quesadillas and Bowls, but there wasn’t a thing we tried that didn’t pack a flavorful punch. From their chips and queso to their bowls and tacos, everything was delicious. Surprised they weren’t busier. There is also plenty of options when it comes to alcoholic beverages as well, which were just as tasteful.All around, this place just kept hitting the mark. There’s about a dozen tables inside and also a courtyard in the back that’s shaded from the sun during evening which should make for comfortable dining during months we aren’t seeing 90 degree nights or you’re just looking to hang out with a larger group of friends for some good tacos and drinks. Either way, this place has got you covered. Definitely worth a try.Parking: Depending on when you show up here, parking is free on the weekends but a fee may be imposed if you visit during the week.”
“We stopped by to check them out and were glad we did. The atmosphere was festive, the staff person was pleasant but seemed a bit stretched as he didn’t stop by to check on how our food was until we were almost done eating. The food came quickly and was good as we had the $2.50 taco Tuesday specials. We will stop by again and recommend giving them a try.”
“This place probably has the best takeout food and smoothie around here. I got the oxtail and the stew chicken platter which are both fantastic. Definitely will try again if I have a chance to come back!”
“Great place for ramen. My favorite is the chicken katsu ramen and tonkotsu ramen. My wife loves the chicken hibachi. Can't go wrong to visit this place if you like ramen highly recommend ?”

“From my experience of eating at many, a McDonald's. I find that by far yeah. East silver strings boulevard location in ocona is by far the most busiest location during the daylight hours. I have found at this location. There's a high volume new employees always. They've made a lot of mistakes and the only complaint I'd have is that it holds me up sometime as i'm busy and don't have time to pull over as they correct some mistake. And I must say that any problems I've ever had that. I've addressed and had time to address. Has always worked out to my benefit. The shift leader, bosses and managers of this location are very understanding. And if they make a mistake unsaid search hamburger data, you keep the mistake and the one you ordered will be right up fresh and ready. And for that I give them 4 stars as busy as they are. And having new employees training all the time, it has to be difficult For the kitchen to run smoothly. Due to the location, I have hopes that a grid crew. We'll stick with them workout the bugs. And add on if they have two, and if there even able to. This is my thoughts about the mcdonald's route forty ocala. Understanding The volume that they produce following all is worth buying lunch or dinner. Just don't count on them, not make an. Error and when they do, you will be compensated for your time.Wheelchair accessibility: I did notice that the facility does have access for mobile carts and wheelchairs”
“On 12-4-23 I called Pizza Hut and tried to order a Melt for pickup. Unfortunately, I was connected to your call center and reached someone I had great difficulty in understanding. I asked to be transferred to the store and then I got a dial tone. Either the person I was talking to didn't know how to transfer the call, or he hung up. I called again and was able to get through to the store. My order had not been received. I spoke with Sherry, 026523. She apologized for the other employee, made me feel I was a valued customer, and gave me the Melt at no charge.”

“What an amazing experience we just had at Darrell's Dog Gone Good Diner #11! We were just passing through the area and decided to stop for brunch. With only 2 servers in the building, we were sat fairly quickly, she brought us our menus and drinks quickly too even though I told her to take her time. I could see they were busy and it was only the two of them. I ordered 3 eggs basted with ham and a side of sausage links. The meal came with grits and a biscuit (got a side of sausage gravy with it) which I am bringing home. Most places don't know how to make basted eggs, well this was not like most places. I don't know where they get their eggs from but these were the best eggs I have ever eaten! I used every last piece of meat to scrape the egg up off the plate as to not leave a drop. Eggs were perfect, ham was cooked great and tasted amazing, and oh goodness the link sausage was thick, delicious, and cooked perfectly. My friend ordered the Waffle breakfast. She got her eggs over easy and also said they were cooked perfectly and delicious. Her bacon was on point and she said the waffle was one of the best she's ever had. We figured there would be a bit of a wait for the food to come out with how busy they were, and the kitchen staff even apologized if there was a wait on the food, but we thought it came out much quicker than we expected. I don't have one complaint! Everything was so amazing, I made sure to Thank the kitchen and wait staff for the entire experience. I love checking out new small restaurants, it is always where you get the best food and personal service. I will definitely be telling friends and family about this place and will 100% stop here again when driving across the state!!”

“We ate yesterday at the Pony and as loud and crowded as it was. They were so efficient. The best part for sure was our server! Jonathan was tremendous. He knew how to serve people even as crowded as it was. So kudos to him! He made our meal.”
“First time at Mellow Mushroom, and we both loved it! The pizza dough they use is really tasty. We got 2 small pizzas for a late lunch, the Pacific Rim, and a tomato/mushroom pie; delicious.”
“My boyfriend and I come here quite frequently. I’d say at least once a week. Every time we come in I prefer to have my bread with regular butter than with the cinnamon butter that’s given. Normally, our servers tend to forget to bring the regular butter when I ask which as someone who works in the service industry myself I understand not many people probably ask for regular butter with the bread and it’s easy to forget. So no biggy but I always take into account those who do bring me my butter without me having to ask twice and Raegan did just that. She was attentive, sweet, and on top of everything we had asked of her while we ate dinner. So a huge thank you to her. The only other server who’s done this for us when we’ve come in is named Megan. And she’s just as amazing. Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to these two lovely ladies. We love Texas <3”
“Salad bar was excellent with variety of items to make a great salad. Food bar was filled with assorted delicious choices. The dessert bar was ok. More fresh made items would improve it but it was still good.”
“This is the 4th time to Cheddar's in Ocala, Florida. The service has always been great until today...our server Juan is not cut out for this position, in my opinion. His demeanor was very unprofessional and extremely awkward.”
“El mezcal is one of our favorite places to go for dinner and margaritas . Steak tacos are my favorite with a frozen strawberry margarita. Our server Louie was awesome! He was very attentive and fast.”
“Cadence was our server who isn’t even a server! They had 2 servers on this night and she kept saying she was just a hostess and just wanted to help and that girl was all over that restaurant all night. Running drinks, running food bussing tables, taking orders, and seating folks. ALL while keeping a smile on her face and having a great attitude!”
“Caden was the best !!! She runs drive thru!! Our experience was awesome BECAUSE OF HER! Holding down that Chick fil a hospitality! Best employee ever, she deserves a raise, or an option to tip her using a card!”
“Our waitress Kenzi was very attentive and professional. The food was very good and arrived in a timely fashion as ordered. The place was packed but the kitchen kept up. Very good experience.”
“chelsea made our dining experience amazing.visited for mom’s birthday and she was on point and very attentive.the food runner and busser did an exceptional job as well .the food came out fast and taste was greatdefinitely coming back and asking for chelsea again. she made our day”
“I love the service and the atmosphere, it's fun and laid back. My one ding is that the prices have gone up recently and I can't seem to justify the price increase to what you're getting. Yes the food is good, I have yet to have a bad plate but some of the prices are steep for what you are getting. Even with that being said, I will continue coming back just not as frequently”
“We had a problem at first. But after a talk with manager Tyrone. A.K.A. "T". He handled it very well.I was enjoying my birthday meal and he made it special. I will continue being a fan. ”
“We had our son's graduation party there last night. We reserved the front room from 6-7:45 and unfortunately we ran 30 minutes behind. We called them to let them know we were running late and they said just come anyway and we will make it happen. They did just that, they made it happen! Our server Matthew was great! There were 24 of us and he was on top of everything. All of our food rolled out at the same time so we were all eating together. The food was excellent as always! We pushed it right to 7:45 and then we were able to move into the dining room area in a corner so we could finish celebrating with the cake that we brought. I can't say enough about Matthew and the rest of the staff, they all were fantastic!”
“We love to go here for our late lunches at the bar. The food and service are consistently wonderful. A treat to look forward to.Vegetarian options: Chili poblanos are a favorite.”
“My friend invited me to have lunch with him here. I would normally not patronize this place only because I usually don't like theme or chain restaurants. Anyway, we arrived at 11:30am sat in a comfortable booth and ordered. I had the eggplant Parmesan with spaghetti, he had the fettuccine alfredo,since we both wanted a side salad the server brought us a big bowl to share with plenty of bread sticks. I must say I was very pleased with the meal. It was good, taking all factors into consideration of "chain restaurants" I was pleasantly surprised. Also surprising was the total bill of $23.00. We left a $7. Tip because the young lady serving us was so nice.”
