Smash burger and fries ! Yum!
Tami M.

I went for lunch with a few friends yesterday. I wish that I was able to get more pictures but we were on a time crunch and really wanted to eat something other than fast food and relax in a nice comfortable environment. The Crazy Cucumber has fast service and a friendly staff with a nice menu and fun vibe. They have live music, trivia and game nights, themed dinners and a pet friendly patio so you can go and relax while your pet is by your side no worries there! This place definitely has something going on everyday of the week and if you're in need you can book a "priority table" in advance to get special seating. There are weekday specials and events going on regularly so sign up for emails and you can keep up with what is happening at this awesome restaurant that has all the entertainment and fun things going on literally always. The menu has fun drinks, starters such as wings, ahi tuna, guacamole & chips, crispy fried shrimp in a sweet and spicy sauce. There are pinsa flatbreads a roasted veggie, a caprese chicken, a buffalo chicken and a Hawaiian with shredded mozzarella, diced ham, pineapple and drizzled pesto. There are crazy cucumber favorites such as fried pickles, fried cheese curds, fried calamari, and loaded tots. Of course there are salads and handheld bites that you'd expect Cobb salads, smash burgers, seared salmon salad, poke tuna bowl, Mac n cheese, fish n chips and more! You will find dessert such as banana foster bread pudding, key lime pie and fried Oreos! I had the smash burger and fries and I must say that it was a really good burger with crispy edges and the fries were good too! The burger had their signature sauce , American cheese, arugula, pickles on a really nice brioche bun!

Chicken Sandwich, Fresh Fruit, Caprese Flatbread, Table Side Guacamole and Chips

Crazy how low this restaurant is rated. Food was too Tier and service was nothing but attentive and friendly. Could not have asked for better flavors, not pictured was their holiday peppermint White Russian which was also delightful. Restaurant was clean with cute holiday decorations. Would recommend the place to anyone!

Loaded Loaded Tater Tots
Lana E.

The food was great- wings were a little salty, but still cooked perfectly crispy. We devoured the tots and my son enjoyed his sandwich. It's not five stars because although it wasn't busy...service was utterly slow. Like... almost unbearably slow. We almost left after we got our waters because we waited forever until our waitress came along. It took awhile to get our food and even longer to pay the bill. I do not recommend coming if you're in a time crunch.

Key Lime pie
Jim K.

The burger was excellent although I prefer that the cheese is melted on my patty. The restaurant is quite large and has a nice outdo seating area. The bar area is nice and roomy and they have space for catering events. The service was fast and my waiter was very polite. He didn't make me feel rushed and had some great suggestions when I asked him about a few of their menu items. The key lime pie was excellent with the exception of the chocolate syrup they put on the plate. It went well with the strawberry but not the pie. They should strongly consider a key lime sauce or a strawberry sauce. I'm not a chocolate hater at all. It's my favorite, but the two together were not good at all. Even with that, they still deserve 5 stars!

The worst mojito you will ever experience
Rebecca E.

2nd time here. First time the service wasn't that impressive. Second time, I have now experienced the worst mojito in existence. WORST. The nachos aren't good either. The mojito tastes like tonic water with cucumber and limes in it. It's miserable. The nachos lack flair. It's hard to screw up a nacho but they managed. Not much meat, Soooo many jalapeños and everything was slapped on top of a dry heap of chips. My first time here I did enjoy my pretzel bun burger. So if I ever am forced to return, I figure that's a safe bet.

French Onion Soup
Marisa C.

I went for the first time this past Tuesday for their trivia night which was super fun! During trivia night I tried their cheese curds appetizer, French onion soup and pork tenderloin meal. I also had a cranberry juicy and then a mocktails with sprite, strawberry purée and cranberry juice. It was really good. The prizes are not cheap for the juice and mocktail both were $5.50. The cheese curds were $10. But they gave you a decent portion and they were fries well and tasted fresh. The pork tenderloin meant for $17.00, came with a decent sized portion that I split and a soup or salad. I ordered the French onion soup with it which was standard and good as well. The pork tenderloin was cooked well and had a delicious bourbon glaze sauce paired with tasty creamy mashed potatoes and green beans. Given the increase in prices everywhere I'd say this place is good for a night out. The food is not amazing but it was solid.

Chicken, caprice, flatbread pizza, omg absolutely amazing! Enough for two people
Laura C.

What a wonderful restaurant, friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and great happy hour deals! What more could one ask for when dining out!? Highly recommend! Service was excellent, our server, Sara, went above and beyond as she was very attentive ensuring we had all that we needed.

Salmon
Jenna D.

Besides the service from the waiter, my fish tacos were so delicious. I wish I had gotten a picture but it was so good it was gone quick. My friend did get the salmon and I got a picture of hers. She recommends this place as well...just a needed a little bit better waiter.

The Sweet Jalapeno Burger
Anna B.

Decided to try this for late lunch. There was 20 minute wait even tho half the restaurant had available seating but i guess they only had limited staff. Drinks: Don't be a salty bitch and the spicy jackass were but just ok Food: Rosemary salmon, had no rosemary flavor at all and the side ,green beans tasted like it was microwaved. The mac and cheese was a joke rigatoni with some grated cheese melted on the sweet jalapeño burger is the saving grace this was very delicious maybe they're better for dinner

Nifty lighting
Adam S.

It was so dang good i forgot to take a picture! Literally just realized that when my food arrived it was so well prepared i just started eating. Our server is super cool. We chatted up movies and comics. My parents makes down there food as well. We had Guacamole which as I look around is gone as well. So that was wrapped up quickly. Mom had flat bread and that was eaten. Dad and I both had Cobb salads and those look super cleaned.

Enjoying the Crazy Cucumber outside patio

See all

The Tipsy Skipper - O'ahu Skies

The Tipsy Skipper

(39 reviews)

Had a nice visit to The Tipsy Skipper earlier this summer. I was first introduced to this place a…read morefew years ago when I visited Ocala for the first time. My fiancé has been coming here since the opening weekend, and takes me here each time we visit Florida and Ocala. The Tipsy Skipper is located near The Square in downtown Ocala. There is street parking nearby, and some various parking lots. The establishment does not have a designated parking area, but I had no trouble finding a spot nearby on this day. If you visit on a weekend or during a particularly busy time, you might have to spend a few more minutes finding a spot. We visited as a group of four on a Monday evening in July around 9 PM. Not a lot of places in this area are open on Mondays, but luckily this business is! There were a couple groups at the bar, but it was no way at all crowded. There is bar seating, as well as tables and chairs throughout the space. There is a more isolated front room, and then the main area where the bar is. The atmosphere is unique in this place. It is decorated like a beach/tiki bar, and the lighting is kept dim. The tables have candles, along with appropriate decor for the theme. They have several cocktails that go with the theme of the bar. This was my first time sitting at a non-bar seat in this place, and given that it was a Monday, I am not sure if this is typical or if at times they provide table service. However, we had to go up to the bar to order the drinks. Not a huge deal, but something to note regarding table service, especially on a slower weekday. There is no food here, it is strictly a bar. They have themed cocktails, as well as some beer, wine, non-alcoholic options, and various specials. I ordered directly from the menu this time, but I have visited before where the bartender can essentially make you a unique drink according to what you like. So, the possibilities for drinks here are really endless. I typically like to get a "fancier" drink when I come here, since it is such a fun experience to accompany the atmosphere of the place. This time, I enjoyed the O'ahu Skies, which was a cocktail of gin, lavender, and lemonade. Truthfully, I did not read the menu closely and did not realize the drink contained gin. I am not the biggest fan of gin, but I did enjoy this drink! It was perfect for a summer night. Another member of my party really enjoyed the Ciderboys Pineapple Hula Hard Cider. Everyone enjoyed their selections overall. I find the staff here to be consistently friendly and kind. This visit in particular, there was a female bartender who was sweet and courteous to both myself and our entire group. I have had other positive experiences with different bartenders on other visits. I would dare to say the staff here is top-notch and will take care of you! In terms of pricing, I believe it is fair for a speciality cocktail bar. The speciality drinks that come in the fun glasses cost, I would say $15 on average. There were specific $10 drinks, Happy Hours, and discounts if you bring the theater ticket from your show next door, so not every drink is that much. Additionally, beer and wine were priced as you would expect, so you could very well come here to enjoy the space and only spend a few dollars. I enjoyed this trip to The Tipsy Skipper, as I have enjoyed all my others previously. It is a spot I look forward to visiting each time we come to Ocala for an evening. I will most certainly return again on our next trip to the Sunshine State.

It was super busy when we went our first time and it was not during happy hour on several occasions we have visited. We live close and visited here a bunch the first 2 years we moved to Ocala and have visited less and less since then. There have been several occasions we have stood at the bar waiting not only to be greeted but also waited very long times to receive our drinks. In their defense, many times the bartenders were busy attending to patrons or making drinks. However, there were several times some bartenders were just talking to friends or messing around. The drinks here are super detailed so they take some time and TLC. I will say, most times our drinks taste delicious and the presentations are magnificent! The decor is so cozy and the ambiance is consistent. Hubs and I absolutely love Tiki themed bars and fell in love with Hawaii after our visit years ago so this place is perfect for us. We also like this place because they are open later than most places in town. We recently visited for a nightcap and it was definitely different. I recently had referred someone here because she was looking for Hawaii themed food (they used to serve food) and she informed me they did not serve food. That sucks because we always meant to try it but never did. Looked good. When we recently visited, they did not have physical menus and were referred to QR code cards on the bar. Our bartender was attentive and helpful with choosing a drink during our recent visit. He actually went out of his way to make the orange peel twist in a perfect manner. I appreciated that! I was going to suggest to hubs we have another drink and then a roach crawled across the bar. I discreetly informed the bartender of the dead roach I killed when we closed out and he took it away. Usually this place is clean and tidy so I was surprised to witness the roach. They do have seating outside as well but we usually sit inside to listen to the themed music.

I quite liked this place. I was visiting the area from out of town and someone recommended this…read moreplace, particularly the steaks, and since it was near my hotel, I decided to give it a go. I really liked that they have this big drop down screen that converts the bar area into a sort of covered patio area that lets the breeze in while the fans do their thing. It turns this sports vibe type place into a more at home type backyard bbq with friends type feel. I really liked that. It felt like a tgifridays at first but the patio-ish area makes it stand out from other chains like that. Maybe it was the fact that I had been traveling all day and had barely eaten, or that I had a killer blood-sugar dropping headache, but I thought the food was killer. I ordered the steak and dozen fried shrimp combo which came with 20 shrimp. Awesome! I ordered the broccoli and mashed potatoes with gravy and everything was awesome. I loved the butter on the steak, made everything just taste rich and delicious because you had better believe I do not cook with that much butter at my house. But for a special treat while traveling, it was delicious. The shrimp were perfectly fried and some of them were rubbing up against the butter so thy were delicious too. I ate them first so they didn't have time to get soggy. The mashed potatoes were red potatoes with just the perfect amount of skin still on and chunks still in it and I loved the gravy. And the broccoli was also delicious, also cooked with butter and not just boring and bland. Definitely not the healthiest of meals considering, but not the worst option either. Definitely couldn't eat here all the time without my waist complaining, but I was very happy and so was my belly and head. The service was pretty nice too, the people were all lovely. I will definitely be back when I have been really good and deserve a cheat day, there is a ton more stuff on the menu I want to try.
