Great place for some southern staples. We were a party of 6 and we couldn't resist ordering fried…read morechicken and catfish. Fried chicken was really tasty with a perfect crunch and juicy chicken. The fried catfish was breaded with cornmeal, perfectly crispy, also well seasoned and very moist and tender inside. The tartar sauce was homemade and very good but they also have a good peppered vinegar. Between us all we had an opportunity to try a lot of sides. Hush puppies which one of our hush puppy lovers said was the best she ever had (I'm not a fan of these overall so I can't really say). The potato salad was very good, creamy, with just a hint of onion and relish. Baked potatoes and sweet potatoes were enjoyed by all. Loved the crispy okra and green beans. Collard greens were also good. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the pies. Caramel apple walnut was a little too nutty for me but it was still good. They key lime was my personal fave -- the crust was a good crumbly graham cracker that was definitely home made. We also had a lemon meringue and the chocolate coconut cream pie, which was essentially a half and half with chocolate cream and the bottom and coconut cream on the top. Both had beautiful, moist meringues with nicely toasted tops. On top of good food, we had a great waitress who was super attentive and very patient and friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and looking for some nostalgic, good southern comfort food.

They make a nice variety of fresh churned ice creams and popsicles. I had the dulce de leche and it was full of creamy flavors. The others with me all had different flavored scoops and thoroughly enjoyed them all. The staff is friendly, servings were large and prices were very reasonable. They've won my dining trifecta. Now they're on the favorites of my ice cream list and should a favorite of yours too.

These cupcakes are absolutely to die for! The best hands down that I've had in Ocala! She is an at home business run based on the cottage law, I think it's called. Her cupcakes seem a reasonable price. I've seen other cupcakes in the area go for like $2.50 a piece. I think that's a lot. Although Cupcakeables doesn't sell individual cupcakes ( you can buy 1 dozen of the regular sized cupcakes or 2 dozen mini cupcakes) if you do the math they are about $1.75 a piece for the regular cupcakes and $.75 a piece for the little ones. The cupcakes are nice and moist (not dry like some others I've tried in the area), and the icing is more buttery than sugary. I tried her Jake's Cakes, Strawberry Margarita and Chai Latte. The Jake's Cake are a must for chocolate lovers!! A chocolate cake filled with a creamy chocolate filling and then a chocolate frosting! It's heaven! Strawberry Margarita was cool looking! Strawberry cake with a lime frosting. Loved the colors and tasted like a real Strawberry Margarita. I understand she will put the tequila in if you request it! Score! And the Chai Latte was just like eating a Chai Latte! The spices were nice and not overpowering. I am ordering her Peanut Butter cupcakes for next week!! Can't wait as I am a peanut butter lover!! She fills them with a peanut butter truffle filling!! O...M...G!! All of her cupcakes are made to order. She has lots of flavors to choose from and especially encourages you to request a flavor you like if she doesn't have it on her list! I am a big advocate of small businesses!! Will definitely go back again!!! Her Facebook page is much more active than the blog I found. https://www.facebook.com/Cupcakeables

My son ordered some dessert tonight from Jeremiah's and it was delicious…read more There is Italian ice, ice cream, Jelati, cakes and ice cream sandwiches. We each had ice cream with Jelati which was so refreshing and very different than what you'd find in most ice cream shops. The flavors are very unique and they have wonderful mix ins which I must try next time. Since my son ordered for me and this was spur of the moment I just had ordered pretty basic. Basic but I have to say still different than most other brands still. My Jelati was cheesecake and it was indeed fresh, tasty and fabulous! My ice cream was chocolate and the same as it was scrumptious! The two flavors swirled together were outstanding but if I would have known more about the place and looked at the menu I would have added some mix ins ! Honestly I may have tried one of their other flavors because they all seem so different and outrageous. We had it delivered and everything went splendid but I'd love to go and have a visit and the experience of seeing Jeremiah's for myself.

If it's during the day, tube floaters, paddle boarders, and small boats pass by making for some fun entertainment. However, the food and service are really lacking but has been for years. And it really doesn't matter...due to the atmosphere, people will continue to come here no matter what! It's literally that great! If you are at the bar ordering a drink due to the fact you will wait for a table, no matter the time of day...Do not get stung by the huge amount of bees that surround the soda station and the right side of the bar. I understand that the bartenders and servers are busy but service and attitudes are to the extreme! I think that businesses forget to tell their employees...people are PAYING to eat here. Most on vacation and don't want an attitude. But again, due to the atmosphere...most people will overlook the attitudes. Anyway, the food is severely lacking. We are locals and have eaten here many a time. Just remember the prices on the menu are not because the food and service are amazing...it's because of the atmosphere. P.s. please stop serving glass to people who are drinking and heading to the water.
