Restaurants in Ocala

“Excellent Korean food in a nice location. The food was prepared fresh and can be carried out. We sat at the small but adequate sitting area and had a nice lunch. You Order from the board and it is very good. Friendly family staff and great service. Reasonable prices.”

“First Time at a K-Pot, Ocala K-Pot was amazing… Fun experience and the food choices are abundant. Our server, Izzy, was amazing with our tutorial and making sure we had what we needed…”

“Brittney is a Great server. She care about her guest and she makes sure everything is perfect. She checks on her guest all the time. She needs to be recognized”

“The best we have ever had!!!! The gelato is equivalent or better than any gelato we have had in Italy, Switzerland, or Germany. We would share our favorite flavor, but that changes every time we go, as the owner only uses the freshest seasonal ingredients. Let's just say we can't find a flavor we don't like. Today a shout out for the grapefruit, amaretto, biscotti, cannoli, coffee, and chocolate gelato. My husband is the biggest coffee snob I know. He spends hours weekly ordering the best beans, roasting them, and pulling shots of espresso. It is rare that we go out for coffee and we can say the coffee is good. This owner knows how to pull a good shot of espresso!”

“Visited many times, the food is delicious and the restaurant decor is beautiful and my husband and I enjoy eating there. The restaurant is very clean and we enjoyed the Bollywood music. We were there last week again and our waiter Kiran was amazing, he checked to ensure that everything was ok. Will definitely try to have him serve us again.”

“I have visited Tropical Delight twice and each experience was essentially a “delight”. • Delightful customer service • Delightful ambiance • Delightful clean appearance • Delightful and tasty food – most important for me! My first experience was amazing! I had the incorrect closing time and although at closing the staff welcomed me in. I was able to order my food and received extra portions. Great first visit led to my second visit. Tropical Delight is worth the visit for both the food and ambiance! Looking forward to my third and subsequent visits. I plan to be a regular!”

“My husband and I went to Stirrups for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago and have been raving about it to anyone who will listen since then! It was hands down the best dining experience we've ever had (we've lived in multiple cities and I'm incredibly discerning about the quality of restaurants). Sanjeev (the general manager) and Ashley (our server) truly went above and beyond at every turn of the night; they could not have been more hospitable, kind, and generous. Their service was better than the best and they gifted us several complimentary surprises throughout our meal which made us feel so special! The food was incredible, I had the fresh catch of the day (snapper) and my husband had the steak. We both agreed that the macaroni and cheese and the biscuits we're the best we've ever had in our life (we love both so much we had them at our wedding) which is high praise for us. The dessert (Sanjeeve was gracious and had the dessert we picked out at Emma's Patisserie served to us at dinner) was phenomenal. The pastries are of the quality of the highest end bakery in Paris-delectable! We will be back here for every birthday, anniversary, and special occasion. I sincerely can't recommend Stirrups more, you have to go for yourself!”

Nancy is always quick to deliver a hot delicious meal no matter what! Her ingredients are always fresh, and prepared correctly. I’ve seen Nancy handle that kitchen with a full dining room with ease, always taking the time to check on her customers, and thanking them. Our favorites are the ham and cheese omelette, and her French toast! Please don’t hesitate to try her fresh desserts too!”

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: For sure”
