Restaurants with Delivery

“I'm typically very skeptical about trying food from a gas station but this place came recommended by a friend and it was worth it! The dukbokki had a wonderful complexity and depth of flavor. It was a large serving with a side of rice. The kimchi was also really good. There are a few tables and chairs in the convenience store if you want to eat there. The gas station convenience store mostly has Asian food options and ingredients. The whole place is run by a family so it's a great option to support local businesses as well.

Parking: This is a small strip mall gas station so there is free parking.”

La Dolce Vita Gelato & Pastry 6146 SW State Rd 200, Ocala Ice Cream Shop • $

“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!”

Zuru Ramen Boba 4414 SW College Rd #1460, Ocala Asian Fusion • $

“I am literally blown away ! The food great and the staff are sweet as can be! I picked up an order tonight and noticed how nice the cups are for the Boba tea. (the tea was awesome too haha! ) As I was turning into my neighborhood, the bag with the Ramen tipped over :(. It was completely my fault, but at the time, I didn't know the some broth leaked out because the bag was so thick. That's a good thing bc I don't want broth all over the inside of the car! When I got inside the house and took the bowls out of the bag, I noticed how nice they were. they are designed at the bottom so that you don't burn your hand when you reheat the Ramen. they are thick black bowls with a lid and a separate tray for the noodles and whatever other fixings you order that sit on top. I love the fact that everything they have done is wonderfully designed, and again, this is literally one of the best places I have had Ramen. Not many places care enough about the customer to even worry about take out containers, presentation and have great food. I can't express how appreciative I am. I will ? be returning.”

My boys also spilled juice and made a huge mess; I felt so embarrassed and offered to clean it up, but the man refused and was so patient. This was my first time here and won’t be my last.

Pero en esta ocasión fue diferente, les recomiendo 100% estas pizzas, ordené un batido de Manney, una pizza y tamal, riquísimo todo, el tamal estaba llenito de carne, el batido en su punto y la pizza me llevó a recuerdos cuando estaba en Cuba, salí desde el 95 y era muy difícil aquí encontrar alguien q hiciera pizza como las de allá. Gracias infinitas. No se van a arrepentir cuando las prueben y precio lo vi super bien. Y lo más importante puedes ver cuanto cuesta todo, no te llevaras una sorpresa con el precio.

Depot on Magnolia 533 NE 1st Ave, Ocala American • $

“My wife and I are practically regulars at Depot on Magnolia. We've been there twice, and let me tell you, both times were like flavor explosions in our mouths. But this last experience? Forget fireworks, it was a five-course symphony of customer service! One night, my wife and I were on a nostalgia trip, reminiscing about this crazy dish we had years ago. It's called cheeseburger soup. Now, picture this: a hearty broth swirling with juicy ground beef, happy little vegetables, and enough melty cheese to make a cheesesteak jealous. It's a rare gem, this soup, only whispered about in hushed tones by a select few who've been lucky enough to experience it. But for those who have, let me tell you, it's like a warm hug for your taste buds. The problem? Most restaurants wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot spatula. Why? Because making cheeseburger soup right takes time, love, and the patience of a saint. There's no room for shortcuts here, folks. This soup is a labor of love, or at least it should be. So, on a quest to find this culinary unicorn, I started calling restaurants in Ocala. But no dice. No one had cheeseburger soup, most had never even heard of it. Some places even chuckled, like I was asking for deep-fried moon rocks. "We stick to our menu," they'd say, with all the enthusiasm of a wet sock. Feeling like a defeated knight on a cheeseburger soup crusade, I figured that was that. Then, a beacon of hope! I called Depot on Magnolia and got connected with a fantastic woman named Shayla. I poured my heart out about my cheeseburger soup obsession, explaining this mythical dish in all its cheesy glory. It's basically Americana in a bowl, I tell you! But finding a restaurant that could do it justice seemed impossible. Shayla, bless her heart, listened with genuine interest, even though they didn't have it on the menu. She then dropped this bombshell: their chef loves a good challenge (what a legend!), and she'd be happy to run it by him. Now, I'll admit, I was skeptical. Promises get lost easier than socks in a dryer, right? Well, color me surprised! I got a voicemail on July 23rd that had me grinning wider than a Cheshire cat who just found a cheese factory. Not only was the chef making my soup, but they were putting it on the menu for everyone to try starting July 25th! Now, I haven't tasted it yet, but customer service this good deserves a standing ovation (and maybe a food review or two). Shayla, wherever you are at Depot on Magnolia, you're a legend! You listened to my cheeseburger soup saga with the rapt attention of a kid hearing about buried treasure. Here's to hoping the chef's creation is as magical as my quest to find it. I'll be there on July 25th, ready to sing your praises (and maybe challenge you to a cheeseburger soup showdown, though let's be real, you'll probably crush me). See you then!”

Diane was the enthusiastic voice on the phone when making reservations for six for the Sunday brunch. She was the delightfully welcoming hostess when the party arrived. George, as other reviews have attested, was flawless: engaging, attentive, approaching his tasks as a performing art...terrific! Freddy Lopez, the manager, took great pride in the staff and offerings from the kitchen. He described changes soon to be made. The name will be something like "Marketplace Kitchen and Bar", an unfortunate image of an older shopper with shopping bags full of groceries sitting nursing a beer at the bar. Food was very good, although NOTHING except the salad dressings had labels. Individuals will allergies would need ask or simply avoid any item which was not entirely identifiable. Indeed a hotel pan of Creole fish could not be identified by two members on the line. It was Mr. Lopez who solved the mystery.”

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.
