Depot on Magnolia is a great neighborhood American restaurant with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The food felt fresh and well-prepared, and the menu has a nice mix of comfort classics and lighter options. My meal came out hot, flavorful, and nicely portioned for the price. Service was friendly and attentive without being pushy, and the atmosphere made it easy to enjoy a casual lunch or dinner. Overall, a solid spot that feels consistently good and worth coming back to.

We weren't sure if we would make it there before they closed at 3pm but we did with plenty of time to spare. The burgers were delicious and the service was quick!

Super great food, a smaller sized place, so make sure to be ready for a wait on the weekends.... But it is well worth it!

All in all this was a super dining experience! Cool decor, very eclectic and fun. The food was ample and delicious. I had the fish and chips it was flavorful, hot and crispy. One draw back was the fries were just ok, maybe slightly over done but rhw 8verall meal was still fantastic. My wife had the soup and salad huge portions same goes for our friends who both had the pulled pork sandwich. Needless to say this is must try, you will not be disappointed!

A friend recommended this place and I'm glad I tried it. The food is amazing. Staff is attentive and friendly. I will definitely be coming back.
The atmosphere was fascinating, the service was great and the food was top notch. Check out the attached photos, I think you'll agree. The price was about average for this area. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone that likes a good meal with a great atmosphere.

I wanted so badly to like this place but unfortunately, I was left disappointed.
I thought I ordered the soup and sandwich lunch special for $12.99 but when I paid for my pick-up order, the total was $21 (I did get a coke). I would have been fine to pay that price for the food if I felt like it was worth it but I didn’t feel like it was.
The macaroni salad tasted like plain noodles with celery water and a hint of mayonnaise. The Marry Me Chicken soup was okay and the chicken salad wrap was dry. I didn’t even bother to eat the watermelon.
I do believe in second chances so I may return one day and hopefully my experience will be different.

You can see historic Ocala in its heyday at The Depot. This was a train stop where passengers used to get hot dogs and wait for trains. The decor is reminiscent of those days. Service and food is excellent.
