    Pok Nacho
    William W.

    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!

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

    I have been wanting to come to District for a while now and based on the Yelp reviews, so glad I did make the choice to stop by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First off the restaurant has an amazing view being that it's a two story in the downtown Ocala area it definitely stands out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat on the first floor which was super casual and so nice with the breeze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter (don't remember her name) in addition to the waiter who took over, Pablo were very helpful. For starters, the cocktails. I ordered a spicy guava margarita which was super refreshing and delicious. It has a sweet but slight kick from the jalapeno and my rim was lined with Tajin. I really enjoyed this drink and would get again. For my late lunch, I went with the infamous District burger. This burger is huge! It comes with 2 quarter pound smashburgers, cheese, sweet heat pickles, garlic aioli, and caramelized onions. It was so good - I finally get to see what why it's a standout item. Every part of the burger compliments each other so well, from the juicy patties, the aioli, and sweet pickles. I ordered the chips as my side as I wanted to try them out and wow you can tell they are cooked in house. They're not greasy at all although I did have some burnt/darker chips in my batch. Overall, it was a great experience and service and I look forward to coming back to try out their brunch and other cocktails.

    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.

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Arrived around 8pm unfortunately they had the upstairs outdoor area closed. So we sat downstairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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.

    We went on a Saturday afternoon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was quaint and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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!

    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.

    Burger, homemade chips, and aioli.
    Tim G.

    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.

    Very cool place with great food and great people. Menu is American bar with quality ingredients. I ate the Mac and Cheese with chicken and truffle oil.

It was the best burger I've had in a long time! Here lately the last burgers we've had at different places were so salty that we couldn't finish them. Today this burger at Mooyah was fantastic and cooked just right! I also ordered a vanilla milkshake and it was very good. Everything was nice and clean. Everyone was nice and friendly. * The only negative; parking is terrible! Everything around the area is all paid parking so "may the odds for ever be in your favor" finding a free open spot. I can promise you this; the next time we are in Ocala and looking for a burger we will definitely be coming back to Mooyah.

Greeted very friendly by the co owner Yolanda. She took our order and explained everything to us as we were first timers. Everything is made fresh so it the time from ordering to receiving our burgers was about the time it would take you to make it at home. The Wife had the single with onion rings and I had the Double Frenzee. Both of us shared the fries and rings. This was our opinion on food: Burgers were well flavored and juicy. Each burger is 5 ounces and is a smash style. The toppings were fresh and were not skimped on. The buns were fresh, soft and big. They needed to be to cover the burgers. The fries and rings were not greasy and fried to a golden brown. The amount of batter on rings was just right. The amounts were just right. I'm a good eater so I destroyed everything including some of wife's rings. Wife only could finish half and brought some rings home for later. Definitely, will be coming back. Both Wife and I workout daily (Weights, Cardio, Circuits). This will definitely be a good cheat meal after a leg day. Craig

    We showed up tonight to celebrate my birthday (today), my hubby's (Monday) and our daughter in…read morelaw's (this past Thursday). Couldn't think of a better place to eat, drink and be merry at! 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!

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.

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.

I walk with a cane & I had brought my dog. I rather doubt I'll be back. I'd rather go any of the other WEC restaurants where the staff is gracious to the level of Disney gracious. Staff were not at all on par with the rest of WEC, well at least not the blond young woman that waited on me. She did smile upon arrival, but their tone was condescending and obviously an old, plump lady didn't fit her idea of who to be nice to. I ordered quickly, as I came to just try the place out and figured the Ralph's burger was the way to go. I felt all the staff sort of walked around her and gave her a wide berth and frankly all looked nervous. Is there a tyrant there? Layout: is odd! Condiments are on the far right end of the counter, yet the utensils and beverages are on the opposite wall. The girl who took my order said nothing about that. I was surprised to get a burger with no condiments on it. I ordered coffee and they give you a cup and it's self-service, which is perfectly fine, but the tea and coffee were not labeled or if they are, then it's up over 5 feet, I tipped 18%, not my usual 20%*, as it's counter service. I assume that's divided up, as the staff cleaning tables were quick & efficient, as well as pleasant. Maybe blond girl was having a bad day, but if that's the case - don't share it. I was there on June 4th, 2026. Since this is not a chain fast food restaurant and they apparently don't put condiments on the burgers, I think having them on the table would be better. Worst service in Ocala all due to one girl.

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.
