The Gyro was HUGE and very flavorful. Heaps of the lamb and beef blended meat. There was enough for two meals, but I ate all of it. The fries were also great with another huge helping. I saved enough to heat up in the air fryer tomorrow. A little pricey, but I'd rather have that than smaller portions!! Tell 'em BaddBob sent ya!

One of the meals was made incorrectly, and quickly corrected by team lead, Melissa. She must have apologized eight times. All certainly not needed. These things happen.

Outstanding, I cannot say enough about this place. Love, love, love it. The food was amazing, great…read morespecials tremendous flavors in all the fusion dishes they serve. The kitchen is in full view, and immaculate. The staff were all super friendly and awesome. The many craft beers and unique flavors were amazing. They usually have a pineapple cider, that is really good. The peanut butter and jelly beer just has to be tasted to be appreciated it is so good. Today I had the watermelon beer, which was beyond refreshing, and crisp. The board at the bar is updated daily and you can sample any of the beers upon request. This is a must go for anyone living or visiting the Ocala downtown.

Big Hammock Brewery is NOT a BREWERY, nor is it a big hammock. What it is, is a brew pub with what…read morelooked like some scrumptious food. Unfortunately for me I was looking for a brewery experience and Big Hammock is not that. They do have a good amount of local craft beers on tap which is a definite plus. They just didn't have any of their own beer. Maybe they are brewing, but if they are not, they should change the brewery in their name to brew pub because the name is definitely misleading. It is really awkward making this review, because I really did not get the full experience. I walked in, looked around, checked out the beer menu, asked if they had any of their own beers. When that answer was "no" I left. The end.

First time trying this place and our experience was very good. Sat outside on a 94 degree day but…read moreit felt cooler due to the awning. On a Sunday afternoon a guy was playing guitar outside. I ordered Reuben and fries which was tasty, salty but I'm ok with that. We also ordered salmon salad with goat cheese, walnuts but the salmon was a little fishy.

Stella's continues to impress with fresh ingredients and absolutely incredible bread. I wasn't sure since it being 2 years since I was here if they would have the breakfast I had last time. I was surprised they did have it so I ordered the Spanish Egg Breakfast, which came with arugula, chorizo, heirloom tomatoes, ciabatta toast, and a preserve. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the chorizo added a great smoky-spicy kick, and the heirloom tomatoes were sweet and juicy. The arugula balanced everything out with a slight peppery bite, and the ciabatta toast was just amazing--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfect with the preserve. I also had the Jamón Serrano Sandwich & split it with my bf. It was just as good as it sounds. The jamón serrano, manchego, and basil pesto were a perfect combination--savory, nutty, and herby--all sandwiched between that same incredible ciabatta. Every bite was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service was friendly, though the wait was a little longer than expected. Still, the quality of the food made up for it. Definitely won't wait as long to return next time!

Another cute place that took us too long to check out. We were walking around for Art Walk and…read moredecided to stop in here for a glass of wine and to check what this place really is. It looks like a store from the outside but I did see someone sitting inside sipping wine so I was intrigued. As you walk in, there is a spacious seating area at the front of the store. Then it kind of transitions into a market store. There is a counter you order food at and pay for items. There is a small bar with seating next to that as well. We browsed the market items and picked up a couple of items. We went to the counter to pay and that is when I realized you can order food and drinks. If you order something that takes time to prepare, it is brought to you at a table. Since I ordered a glass of wine, I just waited there for it and went to sit. Hubs retrieved a beer from the fridge. The owner was the individual we interacted with and he was very pleasant. There was constant traffic the entire time we were there so I hope that means they will remain in business. The prices were not too crazy and it is a perfect place to have a drink and/ or gourmet snacks. I definitely want to return and try other items on the menu.

A great place to have great mediterranean/Greek style food in Ocala…read moreCava is a fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant chain. It is known for fresh, customizable bowls, salads, and pitas with Greek/Mediterranean-inspired flavors. It started in 2006 in Rockville, Maryland. As of 2026, Cava has roughly 440-460 locations across about 30 states and Washington, D.C..I had heard about it from some friends at work and as we were travelling we saw one of their locations in Ocala. I am glad that we did. It reminds me of a Mediterranean Chipotle. This particular location had a drive through and dine-in option. The parking was a little limited. The store is designed so that you start at one side of a line and work your way down the line to the cashier choosing you options of preset orders or build-your-own. I tried a steak and feta pita with a side of pita chips. Both were excellent and were reasonably priced for good food. The drinks are an assortment of serve-yourself unique flavors like cucumber mint lime and Tangerine Alepo. Both of which tasted very good. The staff was very pleasant. The restaurant had a limited number of seats inside. It was very busy so be patient as the the quantity and the quality of food are well worth the price and the wait.

Save your money. At least 4 of us out of large group didn't care for the food. I'll list what the…read moreverdict was. The roast beef for sandwiches is low quality lunch meat, weird texture. Nothing like pink or fresh like boars head. The soup is bland ( wild rice). The breakfast potatoes were not crispy enough at all. The steak hash had two pieces in it. ( the lady came out and explained it comes 3.oz you can ask for extra after he had it remade. ( rude) My nephew never complains dug in the entire hash but said well it was only 2 pieces lol. The strawberries were smush. And the omelette was not that great. I'm letting yall know from all the guests opinions. Unfortunately the place falls short. It's cute, its menu looks amazing but a hole in the wall would be better if the food hit ya know? Sorry guys, wasted 40$ for half a sandwich and crap soup I can make better at home and my kids meal.

My parents and i came in and it was busy (not packed, which was good bc another First Watch we went…read moreto was packed). I askef if we could get seated outdoors since it wad cold inside and we got sat immediately. Our server was somewhat attentive (asked if we're ready to order, waited a couple more minutes for us to finish deciding). One of the menu items she said something wrong which was fine, i'm glad she tried to ensure I don't get an ingredient that I didn't want on a separate item. The foodrunner was absolutely great! Her attentiveness and overall attitude were great! I wish i got her name so i could give her props on here! The server checked up on us right after the food got to our table and we told her of some things we asked the runner for, but after that did not check on if we got it, how the food was, or if we wanted anything else. She passed by later and dropped the receipt with no explanation or reassurance like a "does everything look good on the receipt?" Or a "if everything looks good you can head up to the front and pay" (we did not know we need to pay up front so we stayed at the table waiting for her to get the card which she didnt check on or point out after 10-15 minutes of us sitting doing nothing). The food was delicious in my opinion. I got the 2 for you with the monterey club and the chicken avocado chop with a pueple haze (i unfortunately did not get a picture of them) but they were good quantity and quality for the price. The price of both is almost the same as if you bought any of them individually (they serve half the portion of each for the 2 for you) but i personally like the variety and trying both items. The salad only had two slices of avocado though which was slightly disappointing but it all tasted delicious. I think it's the best food i had in first watch ever!
