    Stopped here for a quick bite which was good bar food. They had all the regulars items so there is something for everyone. We sat upstairs and outside which was a nice vibe plus they had music. Love the singer Miranda Madison. She had a smooth silky voice singing old school classics which was amazing. I will definitely be back especially if she is there adding to the ambience.

    When today for lunch. Originally want to be seated in the outside loft but decided to be seated indoors. Our waitress was so nice! Our cocktails came out timely and were awesome. I had their garlic parmigiana wings and were delicious, My wife had their Pok Nacho and so good. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Been here a couple of years and remembered the roof top bar, so we decided to give it another try. We walked in and requested to sit upstairs. The host said to walk right up the stairs. We got to the top and the host up there said, "ugh, you guys are coming up?" Took a deep breath and walked us to our table like we were interrupting her break. Thankfully, she wasn't our service. Javi, this place's saving grace was the opposite. He was very nice and friendly, and made sure our drinks were never empty. We got pints of the Guinness' and shared the Ruben sandwich. Food was excellent. Price was OK.

    We had a girls night! Arrived around 8pm unfortunately they had the upstairs outdoor area closed. So we sat downstairs. The hostess was super sweet and very helpful! Our waiter was patient and even got our checks correct! The food was sooo good! The pepperoni pizza was different than the last time but it still tasted good! The cheese curds were AMAZING! And the fries were crispy:) I ordered the rum drink in special it was $14, but it was yummy!

    Hostess and manager were very accommodating! We sat for 10 minutes without a server and they were dead; I subtracted a star for that alone. She also never really improved. BlackBerry margarita was great; cheese curds, fantastic!!! Burgers were juicy and chips and dip yummy. Server never checked on us and was hard to find. Thank God the food was good and the food runners helpful.

    Oh they never disappointmaybe I'm a hater but Ocala definitely does not have a vast selection of good food... this place is always great. Whenever I'm in Ocala I want to go here. Also, all the bartenders and servers I've interacted with are super friendly. The rooftop is such a vibe especially when they have live music. I wish there was a place like this near me.

    We went on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was quaint and welcoming. The staff was friendly and attentive. They recommended specific dishes and beverages. The food was delicious as everything tasted fresh. The melody of flavors was refreshing and we plan on going back soon. Highly recommended!

    Delicious food. Great atmosphere and environment. Our service wasn't the best this time. She seemed overwhelmed and we were charged for the birthday slice for my mom. Other than that, I think they have great chefs. This was my second visit, and the first visit was for a private event and it was all around great; therefore, I'd recommend.

    This is my second time here and this time it was for brunch on a Sunday. I was so hungry that I forgot to take photos. We sat on the rooftop. We split a burger and the hot honey chicken. Both were excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the manager who put a tennis match on one of the TVs for us. She had to troubleshoot how to get it on the TV and we so appreciated that she took the time to get the match on for us! Whenever I'm in Ocala I will always suggest this as a spot for food and or drinks!

    My brother- and sister-in-law raved about the burgers at District Bar and Kitchen, so we had to try them when we visited Ocala. The burgers were delicious and melt-in-your-mouth, and they were served with homemade chips and a very tasty aioli. We sat on the upper level of the restaurant with a nice view of the square below. The staff couldn't have been nicer. A great experience overall.

    Always searching for a roof top bar. There should always be a mandatory roof top restaurant in every downtown. It's only on the 2nd floor but I'll take it. It's September and it's beautiful outside. We set at the high top table along side the railing. There is a bar with TVs if that's what you prefer instead. The menu has a great selection. Nothing better than having them provide a Fall themed drink. I ordered the pumpkin espresso. My answer is always yes, in any way shape or form. 10/10. They also had a fall version of an old fashion that was so good that we had two. 10/10. Our food options.... Chicken wings dry rub-9/10 I do like how they have the option of dry rub or if you want it wet and then there's choices for that. The options are endless. Parmesan truffle fries with dipping sauce. 10/10 the fries are thinly sliced with the right amount of crunch. Cheesy grits-10/10. It was the perfect texture with the perfect amount of cheese. The best announcement yet... they have blueberry beer. Hard to find at any restaurant. This restaurant literally checks every box. This would be my number one recommendation in visiting Ocala.

Very nice lunch menu with 4 items for $12. PERSONAL PIZZA,SINGLE SMASH BURGER, WINGS, OR SHRIMP TACOS . All Lunches Come with Choice of District Chips w/ Malt Vinegar Aioli, Side Garden Salad, or Side Caesar Salad.

Here's how it went. I wanted to love my paleo burger .. but my burger was very dry. I had it lettuce wrapped which they were quite generous with- a ton of lettuce and two thin patties with blah blah blah , but it was dry and they put the mustard on the burger that I asked for on the side. Bacon was not flavorful.. Both types of French fries (sweet potato and regular) were good--just the right crisp on the outside and soft o the inside. (I always ask for extra crispy because I strongly abhor soggy fries. The other burger was a regular barbecue beef burger and the one patty was not a lot. It is hard to spend almost 40 bucks not including tip for two burgers and fries . When I do I want it to be delicious and not have to fill up on fries The place was clean... out of forks.. not very inviting or warm. So if you want to drop in an uninviting place to grab an expensive burger -dry and bland burger. This is your place. I'm a little grumpier than usual because raising the prices should not include lower standards . With top-- 15 percent because they hand you a cup and bring your burger out... and you bus your own table... it was over 40 with the tip. For two burgers and fries. Tired of overpaying for regular food.

Yolanda was waiting at the order desk with a smile, greeting and a back story of their journey to Florida. She also went over the menu and was very precise in explaining specials, popular items, etc. Our group of four ordered 2 single patty burgers and 2 double patty burgers; all with fries and a drink. Please note, this is a CASH ONLY facility. If you don't have cash on hand, they do have an ATM on the property. As we found a seat and waited for our fresh made burgers, there is a GIANT screen TV playing great white shark documentaries to pass the time...Remeber, it's real food being cooked to order Also, I would encourage you to check out all the shark paraphernalia that adorns the walls. Burgers hot, fries crisp and drinks ice cold...we all dug in. Let me tell you, the 2 patty burger is fork and knife worthy! Juicy meat, soft bun and toppings crisp. Our table was silent for a good 2-3 minutes before anyone came up for air ... excellent burger for sure! Please be aware; you will be fully satisfied upon leaving and I guarantee you'll be back! I know Jaws Jumbo Burger will be our mid Florida stop as we come and go in/out of the state.

They have a deal for $8.99 where it's a single burger, fries and maybe a drink. We both ordered a big burger, fries and at least one soda. It was probably around $35. Our fault we should have ordered one big burger and then get the $8.99 deal to keep costs down. We took some home bc there was 1/2 of the big burger home.

There are a few tables outside, right by the door. There are signs that make it clear they are non smoking tables. We decided to eat inside, were seated right away and our server came quickly. She told us what some of the popular burgers were and we made our selections based on that. I had the Jamaican burger cooked medium. This burger was cooked perfectly, had good flavor, was topped with a sweet and spicy jerk sauce. It was everything that I expected. My friend had the Brie burger and his daughter had the smash burger and they both said those burgers were very good as well. Our server was attentive to our needs throughout our meal. I would definitely go back again.

Tonight was "trivia night", which, while we didn't play, we did enjoy trying to guess the answers. Our grand daughter's face was a big "O" of amazement when realizing the upper tables were enjoying roasting their marshmallows at their table...when she was told they were making s'mores...she went nuts! She's so excited to get tableside s'mores! My wings were even better than they were last time since there was an addition of seasonings sprinkled on them along with the dill pickles, but unfortunately, our cheeseburger pizza suffered from not having enough mustard and ketchup base to it, the tomatoes were enormous chunks and so were red onions. It made it very difficult to eat without things falling all over your clothing since they were such huge chunks on top of the tiny pieces of pizza. My husband got the steak bomb sub, son got a pepperoni Stromboli, daughter in law got the Sharon's Brie burger, grand daughter the child's cheeseburger and fries. Our apps were the garlic knots, mild wings (10) and fried cheese curds with sriracha ranch dipping sauce. Everything was okay, except that it took forever for everything to come out, compared to our first visit. Even our s'mores seemed to take forever. The quickest part of the whole visit was the bill . The fella that waited on us the first time was on point. Not saying that the young lady waiting on us was rude or anything, but I think she was trying to do too many things at once and some things just fell by the wayside. Last visit we came in on a Saturday as well, but perhaps some people are just better at multitasking? I don't know. This time, our bill was over $200 with tip, but we still brought home food again. Not a lot compared to the last time, only 2 little pickle wings (I still can't get enough of those darn things!) and maybe 4 slices of pizza. My husband's loaded tots weren't to his liking, so there's something even for the dog tomorrow We may stay away for awhile and see if they manage to work out some kinks. If anything, the best rule is consistency. If the food preparation is not consistent every time you go to eat there, there's a problem. There should be NO deviation just because someone else is cooking it. All recipes should be the same. Twice we've ordered the same items and they've been different. I still recommend this place for great vibes, cocktails, food and the tableside s'mores. There's just nowhere else like it!

In addition to the Home and Garden show, there were horse jumping competitions and apparently some tour groups with their yellow lanyards hanging on their necks. Needless to say, we waited in line a while and had to hunt for tables and chairs. Fortunately, my wife and I "divided and conquered" as she secured a table (which we happily shared with another couple after my wife wiped it off with a wet wipe) and I stood in line to place our orders. I ordered the Southwest Burger ($17) and my wife ordered the Patty Melt ($14.75). Both came with fries. We just had water. The wait was longer than we thought (the place was truly packed). My burger had good flavor but thought the burger patty was a bit overdone for my tastes. My wife liked her patty melt and thought it was full of flavor as well but would've preferred the marble rye to be grilled instead of toasted. All in all, despite the crowd which we thought may have affected their execution a bit, we thought of our experience a positive one. We might consider trying out their breakfast when we decide to head back out to WEC for a Sunday service in their quaint chapel. NOTE: I neglected to take pictures since the long wait left us famished.

The Southwest Burger looked promising with its chipotle aioli and candied bacon, it was a gastro-enthusiast's masterpiece, but the service? Yikes. Many other interesting burgers, sandwiches, shakes, and cake concoctions were on the menu, but my decision was set in stone. The anticipation of that first bite of the burger was going to cure my animalistic hunger as we headed to the counter and met with the cashier, Denise. She literally sounded like a robot requesting the choice of hamburgers and toppings. Then rudely explained the credit card payment options. I thought to myself, am I on a hidden camera television show? Absolutely zero personality, which sadly just severely diminished my highly anticipated Ralph's Burgers experience. Wait there's more...Emotionally defeated, I made payment for the food and still left a $12.00 TIP for Denise to merely enter my order into the computer. We all self-serve at the fountain drink station and find comfortable refuge at a quaint table. About ten minutes later, Denise yells my name alerting me that our food order was ready and I instantly acknowledged. Oddly, she yells to me, "I Need Hands!!!", as she just stood motionless behind the counter holding two of our food trays. It felt like a walk of shame to take possession of our food. Took a few minutes to shake off our initial contact with Denise and finally dug into that beautiful long awaited burger. Holy smokes, the chipotle and candied bacon were integrated perfectly with the juicy cooked beef along with big golden onion rings as a perfect sidekick. The World Equestrian Center provides unparalleled service at their luxurious estate, which I have witnessed during my stay, thus, if aware, this type of unprofessionalism toward customers and guests would never be tolerated. This experience definitely makes for an interesting holiday memory! It's just a shame that something as simple as friendly service couldn't make it even more memorable.
