    Dust on ledge
    David J.

    After an early doctors appointment, we decided to eat at Scrambles Cafe off of Mericamp on Ocala's southeast side (where we rarely dine). Shortly after 9 am, we were seated right away. I won't lie, first thing I saw was a fine layer of dust right at my eye level on the ledge along side the wall partition. Not what I expected to see, but... Our server, Brandie, was pretty busy, but she touched base a couple times letting us know she would be with us soon. She got our drinks quickly and circled back to get our orders shortly after. My partner got the fruit crepes (they ran out and waiting for more was part of the delay) and a blueberry muffin. She enjoyed the crepes and really loved the muffin, that our server said were made in-house. I had the scramble piled high: two eggs and sausage on an open faced biscuit, buried in sausage gravy. My side were the fried potatoes - hands down the BEST fried potatoes I've had in a very long time. Overall, a delicious breakfast.

    The special was lacking full size toast pieces.

    Place was great. service was on point and pretty good. Food tasted good and tasted a little like home. Bacon was great. I had the blueberry french toast special and I was not happy with only getting 2 pieces of small toast sticks. When I hear french toast I assume 2 full size pieces. Not 1/3 of a piece of toast. so I got 2/3 a single piece of toast. The flavor was great and different. Wife approved pancakes. and she is a pancake snob as her mother is as well. I could not believe how busy it was at 9am on a weekday. Wednesday. It might have been the church event next door. But I will go back since I cant get to the breakfast station that is 35-40 mins of driving each way. Keke's is a little better but the price her was better. Keke's gives you larger portions. It is family owned and a great small location. Was kind of loud as well.

    Nice little Diner. Came here for breakfast, we were seated right away upon entering however it did take awhile for our server to great us and take our drink order. Ordered the Breakfast Sampler and Set a Good "Eggsample" , once we placed our order food came out quickly and hot. Our orders were exactly what we ordered with nothing missing and nothing wrong. Food is good and what you expect from Diners serving Breakfast and Lunch. Would definitely return!!

    This diner looks like the old diners from the movies. Plenty of tables with mismatched coffee mugs. I was seated in a back area against the wall and noticed they were setting up for a big party to come on. My waitress was very friendly and attentive. She made sure to get my order in before the large group. I ordered the skillet with ham, bacon, mushrooms and bell peppers. My food came out quickly and was hot. I was happy about the fast service because I had to head to a meeting. Honestly, I couldn't taste any of the toppings. The potatoes were well seasoned but the veggies and meat were non existent. The English muffin was a bit burned too. I wouldn't order the skillet again but I may stop in for breakfast the next time I'm in the area because it is located so close to my meeting.

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!

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.

Because we got to watch the food prep, we ended up ordering several dishes to split. I'd call it Asian fusion. We had a ramen bowl, some bao buns. It's a nice vibe. Murals on the wall, and doors that roll up for inside/outside service when the weather is nice. They do offer food takeout, so if you can't find a seat, have a beer while they put your food together to eat at home.
