    Breakfast menu
    Debbie H.

    Wow! This super clean gem is the traditional diner experience! And, did I say clean! Talking about taking pride on what you do! Their motto, " Good food, done right," is exactly what you get in a good ol' diner-style menu. Nothing fancy, with all of the traditional favorites. Food came out hot and the wait staff came by several times to check on us and fill our coffee. Great prices

    Corned Beef Hash & Eggs

    A must stop in Ocala for breakfast! Coffee was delicious and hot! We had a wedding the night before so some hangover food was 100% necessary and the Silver Springs Diner fit that bill perfectly! Their hash isn't like any other I have had in diners before, thick cut corned beef with potatoes. It was fantastic. The eggs were cooked to perfection also. My girlfriend had the avocado toast and said it was one of the best she has had. Service was spectacular, and the place felt like an old time diner in the movies. Don't miss out on a great breakfast while in Ocala.

    We love this place! Huge breakfast and lunch menu with something for everyone. The service is always good & the atmosphere is always friendly. So much food at an affordable price :)

    Gotta tell you. It's made fresh every day. Great wholesome food. Well run. Staff seems pleasant. Great for families or couples. Atmosphere is 50s but don't let that bother you. The food is great. Had fried steak and eggs. Eggs were perfection and the country fried steak was a real steak hand breaded and fried. Not a prefab frozen one. Fresh everything! What a surprise! Been here several times . I haven't had anything I didn't like!

    Wait time took more than I expected for breakfast. Place was packed though. Corn beef hash was 7/10. Not bad, I'd good again in a pinch.

    After an early church service, my wife and I were looking for breakfast options and Diner on the…read moreSquare popped up with good reviews. We figured, why not try it and enjoy the town square as well. Well...this place is not really located on the square...not even square adjacent. More like two blocks away from the square. I suppose Diner Two Blocks from the Square would be a mouthful. In any case, we were surprised to see how roomy the place was and quite busy on a Sunday morning. We were seated promptly and perused the menu. We ordered some coffee before placing our breakfast orders. We both ordered an omelet with my wife opting for the Tennessee Pride Sausage and cheese with fried potatoes and a biscuit. I ordered the Hickory Smoked Bacon and Cheese omelet with fried potatoes and wheat toast. Coffee was good and our friendly server, who told us this placed used to be Richard's Place that opened in 1984 before becoming Diner on the Square 6 years ago, was on it with refills. We both liked omelets...my wife liked the sausage and I liked the crispy bacon. Our server who has been working here for 36 years told my wife the biscuits are freshly made and my wife liked their biscuits. We both thought the potatoes were just OK and benefited from added salt and pepper...and some pieces were a bit underdone. All in all, a good breakfast place that regular diners seem to patronize as some of them knew and were known by our server. Breakfast for 2 came out to just under $36 with tip.

Northgate wasn't on her list of restaurants to try out but we were intrigued by the positive reviews. From the outside, Northgate was showing its age. The menu indicated they opened in 2002 and it probably needs some updating...including the prices on the menu. The parking lot was quite full...a great sign! Our first impressions were that service was friendly and there seemed to be quite a lot of regulars who dine here as we heard a lot of conversations indicating familiarity. We were told to sit anywhere and we chose a booth. My wife and I ordered coffee and water to start out...their coffee mugs are quite big and they are attentive with refills. I ordered the Western Omelet with home fries and wheat toast and my wife ordered the Farmer's Omelet with tater tots and wheat toast. Breakfast was good with generous portions...both of us took home leftovers which was still good the next morning. All in all, a very good breakfast place (they also serve lunch) that we would likely return to. We thought the value was there. Lunch for 2 less tip was just over $30. They have a surcharge for credit card payments.

We meant to try this place out before after a recommendation from a couple at church. However, they told us we should go to the Train Station (thought he was referring to the train station in Yellowstone). Of course we looked for the Train Station on Yelp but didn't find one...so we gave up that search. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly and promptly got seated and presented the menu. This place seems more spacious and more updated than the other one we've been to. We both had coffee and water and my wife proceeded to order the Sunrise Skillet with home fries and wheat toast and I tried their CFS Railway. Service was quick and our breakfast was served in no time. My wife liked her breakfast, commenting how it was fresh, flavorful and good portions...she took home some leftovers since she couldn't finish it. My breakfast was equally good, with fluffy eggs and well prepared breaded cubed steak (not ground meat like I've tried at other places). I would've preferred the potatoes to be crispier. All in all, a good breakfast place we'd likely come back to. Fast and friendly service with clean and fresh ambience as well as decent value. Breakfast for 2 with tip came out to just under $39.

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.

    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!

The salad came out with fresh ingredients and the dressing was delicious. The rest of the food was not good. The pow pow chicken was mostly breading and no chicken. The few small pieces of chicken we did have were way over cooked. The fish and chips had the same problem - mostly breading and no fish. Also, they don't have tartar sauce. I've never been to a place that sells fish n chips that doesn't have tartar sauce. The dining area is an open concept. There were some plants spread around the place is clean. Over all, the server was nice but the food wasn't very good. I wouldn't recommend eating there. We will try someplace else next time we are in town.
