Stopped by District Bar and Kitchen for a late lunch/early dinner on a beautiful spring day…read more The temperature outside was pleasant and so my dining companion and I opted for lunch on their patio. We were on their bottom floor patio (which was lovely) but I did spy that they have a rooftop patio as well (what's not to love?!?). Everything from the food to the cocktails to the service was exemplary. For my cocktail I got their Old Colonel's Smoking Gun which was their twist on an old fashioned and was delightful. For my entree, I got their salmon entree. It's glazed and comes with a size of their crispy brussels and cheesy grits. The brussels were delish and their cheesy grits rank among some of the best I've had with sharp cheddar giving them the perfect flavor kick. The atmosphere was so pleasant. It's definitely the sort of spot you'll feel tempted to linger. Get to it!

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as we came here on a whim. The restaurant we were trying to visit was…read moreclosed so we headed down the street to check out District Bar and Kitchen. Server recommended the Double Smash Burger a favorite among the locals who frequent, so I went with that and added truffle fries as my side. My wife ordered the brunch special Super French Toast. Both dishes we good but I would say my Burger shined with 5 stars the Super French toast good but average nothing stood out 3 Service was good and we enjoyed ourselves we both recommend you trying this out for yourself as we will be back again to further delve into the depth of the District menu

My favorite place in Ocala. Cool interior, nice wait staff, relaxing atmosphere and TERRIFIC food…read more Save room for dessert or take it home. Been here a number of times, but I don't recall what I've had every time & I've not taken pictures every time. Their dessert menu is off the hook. I've order the peanut butter pie repeatedly and it's the best I've had in 50 years. Orders I do recall: * Tomato soup: the absolute best and a crave item * Peanut butter pie, has a layer of dark chocolate and the pb part has a nice stronger flavor than many. * Key Lime pie - best I've had since moving to Florida! Only bad thing is now do I order this or the pb pie - oh what a challenge & still so many more of their desserts to try * Meatloaf plate - very good. I'd have it again. * Fish fry - I didn't have it, but a friend did and said it was terrific! She shared a delicious hushpuppy with me. * Hawaiian Tuna Melt - has grilled pineapple on it and sort of a wild addition, but totally works & delicious * Chicken wrap with salad and soup, For salad, I picked the pasta salad - it's good, but could use a bit of red wine vinegar or more of it for my tastes, but I like it. For soup, it's been the summer Watermelon Gazpacho- and that's fantastic!

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.

Great burger, though greasy. Had the Ralph's with no changes to it…read more Before I go further, the one nice thing the girl at the counter did was say my order would be brought to me, and it was. 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.

My wife and I decided to try out Ralph's Burger during the Home and Garden show at the WEC. Boy…read morewere we surprised to see this placed packed! 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.
