I spent about two weeks in Ocala last December and it didn't exactly seem like a graffiti hotbed. Or a seafood hotbed now that I think about it. The outside has murals that don't even look that graffiti influenced or that are very memorable. The inside has some graffiti pieces and boring stretches of white walls and just very basic decor. I had a crawfish boil as I love me some crawfish. It was a nice big portion but largely potatoes, sausage , corn and eggs. There was a pile of crawfish, too, but they were some of the smallest crawfish I'd ever seen and not at all flavorful. It didn't taste fresh and was pretty greasy. It was a bit of a struggle to finish the whole thing. It really stayed with me how greasy it was. I wish I knew the story behind this place. It's so weird.

Very neat interior, and clean. Helpful server. Very nice music…read more The food was OK, served fresh and hot. BUT.... it was not very flavorful, kind of bland. I had onion soup which is supposed to be their specialty. The cheese was melted but not browned as I like to see and broth was light in flavor. We both decided we like the onion soup at a popular chain steakhouse better. I had the meatloaf... not a lot of flavor, kind of boring. My wife had liver and onions and said it had a lot of veins in the meat. We wanted to get he bread pudding which had a wonderful description, but they didn't have any. We'll go back , but will try other entrees, and no onion soup. it seems like most other restaurants these days have a more modern flare for flavor, with exciting flavor bursts in meals. This place seems stuck in history a number of years back. Again not bad (except for my wife's entree) but boring. We saw some other entrees that we have hope for so we will give it another shot in a while.

We were traveling from Southern Florida up to Charleston and decided to stop for a quick sandwich…read moreat Sam's St. John's Seafood. The reviews looked decent, so we figured: why not? It was clearly short-staffed -- I only saw one cashier handling things -- but the place wasn't empty. There was a big table (10 or so people) and others waiting to be seated, so I understood things might move a little slower. I ordered and was told it would be a 15-minute wait. It was raining, and our car was parked kind of far away, so I stayed inside. There were no seats available, so I sat in a vacant booth near the register in an unused area. The cashier immediately told me I couldn't sit there because it was a "clean area," which naturally raised the question... so is everything else not clean? I said, "No problem -- I'll stand outside in the rain," and she literally responded, "OK." For context on the wait time: I managed to write 97% of this review before the food showed up. The food situation didn't get better. After about 30 minutes, I told the server/cashier I couldn't wait much longer. She asked if I wanted the manager and I said that would probably be a good idea. I waited another five minutes... and instead of a manager, she came out with my food and handed me the bag. To her credit, she was very nice and apologized -- and she also told me something that explains a lot: she's trained to say "15 minutes" regardless of how long it actually takes. That's... not a great system. As for the food: the sandwich was fine for what it was, although there was a little too much bread. But the french fries and fried okra were lukewarm and soggy, which was disappointing after that wait. Bottom line: I can handle a busy place and I can handle staffing challenges -- but the attitude, the seating/rain situation, and the inaccurate wait time made this stop more frustrating than it needed to be. If you're looking for something quick, just know that "15 minutes" may not mean 15 minutes.
