Big Man’s Cafe is a really great local spot to enjoy. The staff are very friendly and actually fun to chat with. My friend and I got burgers and they were very good! If you haven’t given them a chance yet, what are you waiting for? Go on and get something from there….Enjoy!!!

I didn't get a chance to eat there, just sat at the booth for a minute. My daughter had her heart set on going to a dinner close to home where her friends work. But from what I saw, their food looked amazing!!! 😍😋

I’ve heard about this place from a few people. Happen to be on this side of town today, so decided to check it out and very happy we did. Corn nuggets were delicious. The big man’s wings are outstanding some of the best wings I’ve ever eaten. They’re so juicy & full of flavor. Another cool thing is they make a Cajun Ranch and it’s super yummy. If you haven’t checked this place out please do. Support local businesses. Excellent service too.

Took my son to eat here after his FIRST Tball practice and it was great! Service was great…literally felt like we were all family! Everyone came out to talk to us including the owners and it truly gave the “home” vibe”
Food was amazing (idk what is in The Mans Chicken but MANNN! Amazing!)
We will definitely make this a Tball Saturday tradition!
Thank you making us feel like family and giving us good nap after a great meal!

If you haven't tried Big Man's Cafe you're missing out. The best southern/soul food I've had in a long time. Server was fun and fast, food came out hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. Don't sleep on the sweet tea. 5 stars
Stopped in from our travel of I-10 as the name intrigued us! lol! Great food and nice people running it!
Oh and we left STUFFED (btw we had onion rings for an app, a bacon cheese burger w/fries, and a fried fish platter). The name was correct for portions! Thanks again y’all!

There is NOTHING as good as the fried chicken at this place! Family atmosphere, delicious fresh soul food, and pleasant friendly staff. A must if you are in the Ocala area.

Based on my first visit today, I would not be a repeat customer. At the door there was a couple in front of us waiting for seating. When we entered we weren't greeted only later to find out we could have been seated sooner but the hostess assumed we were with the first party. The poor waitress was running around like she was bouncing off the walls. She would bring the drinks but had to return for sugar and creamer. Then she forgot the creamer and had to come back for that. Then we didn't have any silverware so she had to return for that. All the while, she was doing the same thing for other tables, forgetting what she was doing all around. As if that wasn't enough, the owner kept coming in asking her to clean off tables, move chairs, seat guests, etc. which did nothing but prevent her from serving the customers she already had. Now, to the food. Prices were reasonable. Portions were too. The food was ok. Grits were very good. There was no salt and pepper on the table and pancakes were served with no syrup on the table. Of course, we had to stop the server and wait for her to find the items between her other customers and owner requests. We were out of drinks but felt too sorry for the server to ask for refills. The owner did come around to guests and seemed very personable and friendly. He just needed to take a step back and observe what was really happening- he couldn't see the forest for the trees.
It's wonderful!!
