50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Ocala

“People don’t understand why I like LJS so much and they laugh when I tell them I get the chicken. You just can’t get hand battered chicken like the one at LJS. I love eating the fries with the coleslaw, and the hush puppies are great too. I stopped at this location on my way through and the staff was very nice and the location was clean! Unlike some older LJS locations, you can tell the owners take pride in this one because the benches look new like they have replaced the old ones. Makes me happy that this location seems to be doing well and I wish there was a LJS where I live.“

“I had the vegi burger in a lettuce wrap, faaaaabulous!“

“Military first Monday of the month half off. Great deal.“

“Great customer service and the food was great also. 10 out of 10 I recommend!“

“Always a great experience at Tijuana Flats Ocala.
the Churros were Amazing. Love the New Sauces. Yes Dip the Churro in the Sauces..... And the queso... thank You for my Birthday Churros....Choco Sauce is almost Perfuc+.... Little thicker.🫶🏿💚💗🖤🩵💙🩵💙🖤💚💯💯💕💕💮🪷“

“Chick-fil-A never disappoints! Every visit feels welcoming from the moment you walk in or pull up to the drive-thru. The staff are consistently polite, professional, and genuinely kind — it’s clear they take pride in great customer service.

The food is always fresh and hot, no matter how busy they are. The chicken sandwiches are perfectly crispy, the waffle fries are addicting, and you can’t go wrong with the sauces (Chick-fil-A sauce is elite!). I also love that the restaurant is always clean and well-organized — even during the rush, everything runs smoothly.

It’s refreshing to visit a place where quality and customer care never slip. Chick-fil-A sets the standard for what fast food should be — fast, friendly, and fantastic every time.“

“we had a great experience today. Employees were very friendly and polite. They went out of their way for us. We love Arby's. Thanks for the great service.“

“The Best Fried Shrimp in The Shores!“

“Love the roast beef sliders, especially between 2-5 when theyre only $1! 14 grams of protein each. I get em with a side of au jus :) :) :)“

“Our visit to Culver's restaurant on SR-200 was delightful. As usual the restaurant was busy and after placing our order it took nearly 15-minutes to get our food delivered to the table.
We ordered two sandwiches, a double butter burger and a grilled chicken sandwich, also a cup of chicken noodle soup. Both sandwiches included fries and were delicious! And the soup was good.
The server was nice and the restaurant appeared clean and neat. It was a very good lunch experience, a place that I would highly recommend.“

“We tried the food yesterday and wow, it was amazing! We had the cracked conch and fries and the conch salad. This Bahamian 100% recommends!“

“Taco Bell in SW Ocala rocks! They are the best, most accurate, friendly, fast, and reasonably priced fast food restaurant in our area. This Taco Bell sets the standard for every other fast food restaurant in this area to attain. There are so many that are "closed to us" because of their service, but this Taco Bell has never let us down. Keep up the EXCEPTIONAL Service! We appreciate it! Sincerely written . . .“

“Always the best in fast food and service. We go there often. Other restaurants should require their staffs to get Chic fil a training. Nothing compares to it. I would go there for the service even if the food wasn't good. The attitude of the servers is just outstanding.“

“The double whopper was tasty“

“most of the time we have a really good experience but today our food was cold, I didn't receive any of my ranch for my chicken or marinara for the cheese sticks. The cheese wasn't even melted. It wasn't very busy at all, maybe its just an off day 😞 This was my first not so good experience at this location.“

“great burgers. Good service with a friendly staff. We enjoy sitting at the tables.“

“Absolutely phenomenal!!

We did an online order that was honestly far too huge. If you can drop $40 on 2 ppl at Taco Bell you about to get fat xD

We pulled up about 30 mins later, could have come whenever, and it turned out. . . There were only 2 employees on staff xD

Felt super bad for the ginormous order lol

They were very very kind while we waited and it didn't take that long at all.

What really set the experience apart though, we get home and crack into our haul and. . . It's DELICIOUS!!!

A lot of people might have been tempted to be mad about the big order or at the least be in a rush and make stuff small or sloppy.

But NO!

Everything was Super scrumptious and yummy. Some of the best taco bell we've ever had.

My only regret was not getting their names thinking it'd be on the receipt but ofc, online order.

So to these two employees who were alone at dinner on a Sunday at this store location on Sept. 21, 2025

You are my literal taco bell heroins!! Thank you so much for treating us kind and making a truly delicious meal for us!

We 💙💙💙 you!!“

“Delicious food but very disappointed in the price increase. I Order the same thing every time, a beef poke bowl with an extra side of meat (for my husband). It always comes to $14. Went over the weekend and ordered the same exact thing and it came to $24 😳. I commented on how the price increased by $10? And the cashier just stood there looking at me and said nothing. I had my receipt texted to me as always, and took screen shots of my receipts, however this page won’t allow me to post them, or I’d show them for proof. $24 for a food court meal? That’s a shame. Do better poke express.“

“Actually has pretty good food and coffee. Need to open up one on SR484 and I75.“

“I really enjoy coming to this mcdonalds in the mornings for my coffee. They are super friendly here and always have everything just right. Never had any issues with them. It does get busy here at times because they are really good.

For sure worth stopping at this location.“

“This location is one of the best locations I’ve gone to. The Burger was so juicy with the perfect amount of condiments! I was on vacation and I wanted a good burger and on apple maps it said 3.5. But they need to update that. 10/10 recommend!“

“They have the best fajitas I have ever had in Florida“

“A wonderful lady named Mika bought me some food.

I'm homeless and I want to pay her back.

She made my heart sink.

I appreciate the help she gave me.

I was so lost of what to do.“

“I love Hardee's it reminds me of my younger days after drinking all night and stopping in the Mineola,NY location that is long since been closed.....it was my drunk food stop....😂“

“the staff was so amazing dealing very kindly with my food allergy! they made very sure I was safe my sandwich was amazing!“

“got our order right!!! I was shocked“

“delicious hamburger 🍔😋I loved it“

“Jersey Mike's is our go to sandwich shop. We've been loyal customers for nearly a decade. This location has been outstanding in their service, quality, and cleanliness. We enjoy coming to this location since we moved to Ocala in 2022. If a location could be the model store, I'd like to think we are fortunate enough to have it here! For anyone who likes a good recommendation off the menu, #13 is my favorite. The chicken big kahuna is my favorite hot. My wife loves their wheat wraps. They are vegetarian friendly and can even accommodate vegan needs. They have a portobello mushroom that is a vegetarian delight. You will not find a bad sandwich because you pick what's on it. Rosemary Parmesan is my favorite bread for any sandwich. Hope this review is helpful. Stop debating and head on over!

Dietary restrictions: All sandwiches are customizable. You can even go breadless.“

“We just ate at this location and the team lead his name is Jay is fantastic the most fantastic his customer service is the best we've ever seen even over expensive restaurants he deserves to be a manager address for other locationI believe got this company will benefit from his upper he is an asset to any company“

“I visit the restaurant numerous times a week and 9 times out of 10 my visit is excellent it all depends on which employees are working I always go through the drive thru one of the employees calls me love bug however it sorta makes me feel uncomfortable so when I see her working I go inside now that there are a lot of new employees this restaurant is really turning out to be top notch“

“To start with id love to say Quay was very efficient and is always the hardest working in the store EVERY SINGLE TIME I've visited here. I have a severe allergy and Quay always makes sure i get everything done safely and correct. 10 stars for the customer service provided by that specific employee and Devonte? I think was his name. Awesome experience always with these 2!

Drive thru? NO! Very very slow service always! If I could give 0 stars for drive thru I would! 15 minutes waiting at the speaker is ridiculous. And it's not a once in a blue moon thing either. I eat at this location at least once a week and it's always the same. The 2 in drive thru look completely unaware of what speed of service and customer means. Multiple orders and only the 2 on the line were working. Hire more people or get employees that actually care about their job . 500 second speed of service on the timer is not acceptable

Dietary restrictions: I have a severe tomato allergy and the 2 employees on the line make sure I'm not cross contaminated!“

“I don't know what y'all are doing different but your store is serving the best tasting food in the entire chain of restaurants.
The service was exceptionally fast and friendly also.
A sincere thank you to everyone that works the morning shift“

“Great yummy sub's filled to the max“

“I recommend them because they are very friendly and very helpful and the food is awesome!!!!! they've run daily specials which is awesome in my eyes!!!! and if you go through the drive-thru I learned the girls there are amazing they're very polite and very cheerful and always smiling“

“YES ACTUALLY I'M JUST QUITE CURIOUS WHO IS SLEEPING WITH MY HUSBAND FROM THIS LOCATION?? HE'S MARRIED WITH CHILDREN HE HAS A WHOLE LIFE SURELY YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT! SO IF YOU DON'T MIND POPPING UP AND LETTING ME KNOW WHO IN THE HOME WRECKING TRASH YOU ARE I WILL MAKE IT A POINT TO EMBARRASS YOU ON THE SPOT. I'VE BECOME QUITE FAMILIAR WITH YOUR SCHEDULE.“

“Nice and clean establishment.. the staff is friendly and helpful.. There was a short wait due to a number of orders ahead of mine but the food prep process definitely puts some food out in a timely fashion. The food is hot and yummy.. I got the chicken bowl with the Mac & Cheese.. very good...“

“The onion rings were the best.“

“Honestly i used to love subway as a kid, i stopped going here for a long time though. Tried it out the other day for breakfast and was pleasantly suprised. The food tasted food, it was a large portion for the money and the lady and dude that work there where super nice.“

“Food was made perfectly and store was very clean and organized. Ordered at the kiosk and paid cash at the register. Total was 12.82 and gave her 13.07 to get a quarter back. After going around in circles about basic math: 18¢ change plus my 7¢ equals 25¢ (a quarter) for at least 45 seconds I gave up. It was incredibly sad. Wait for food felt very long with only one other customer inside and slow drive through, but maybe online orders?“

“I arrived in the noontime when it was very busy for lunch. Despite how busy it was they were very quick to deliver my food after the order. Super kind and efficient people. The place was clean, neat, and one of the nicer locations out of the ones I’ve been to throughout my life. The burger and fries were delicious. The fries were a perfect crispy texture with just the right amount of salt. And my classic chocolate birthday frosty was such a nice refreshing treat to contrast the hot day. I would definitely go again. (Also I have to mention that I repeatedly saw the workers cleaning the table surfaces and floor so the place was kept looking spick and span).“

“Yes it's fast delivery, but last couple orders there were a few mistakes...come on guys get it together. You can do better, BE better! 💖“

“Thanks Carrol for your awesome service!!! Even though she was tired and at the end of her shift you couldn't tell because she is just awesome!! Food was made perfect and I loved her cleanliness while preparing our meal ..... Amazing 😁“

“Good food, good service, clean restrooms.“

“Busy to have only 1 on duty at that time. Nice young man, he was cool and collective. Note to management: more than 1 needed to cover shift. Also, your Prep person needs be consistent. Was running out of prep items. Just saying from someone who has worked food service before.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes,wheelchair ramp“

“i don’t know who the lady at the window’s name was that worked the closing shift in 9/16 but i just wanna say thank you. my mom sends me out like that all the time and is so embarrassing. thank you for helping me out with an inconvenience but god knows i was the REAL inconvenience. ps lemon cake… not a fan😂😂“

“Idk if you guys got new employees or if the manager was at the store tonight but we just had pizza and wings from the Marion Oaks Pizza Hut and it was probably the best we have ever had from this location. The pizza had a good amount of toppings and the wings were nicely cooked and had a crispy skin. Really happy with the quality and taste of everything!“

“This is my favorite Taco Bell in Marion County. I don't live near it so I don't go there often but when I'm on that side of town I do go there. Seems like their portions are more what the standard should be. I like a good crunchy taco and this is the only Taco Bell that actually fills their tacos up like they should. Every other Taco Bell leaves half of the shell completely empty. Their food always looks and tastes better than the two near my house. Service is 👍🏼👍🏼“

“First thing you notice upon arrival is how clean this establishment is! I needed a quick bite without all the calories of fast food! Subway is a better option. Ted (Amy) started making my sandwich. I was greeted and we worked to build my sandwich. I noticed she put on a clean set of gloves, and YAY!, she isn’t one of those bread smashers!!! Pennie helped me with my toppings and got me checked out! Again paying attention to cleanliness, she cashed out a customer before me, washed her hands…put on gloves and finished making my sub. Yay! She didn’t try to smash the bread either. She was upselling me to a combo or chips and cookies which I would have went for, but the shop was out of my chip option…so I just had water!

Whenever I see someone or something that catches me in their details…I like to say Thank You! I thanked them personally and wanted everyone here in my Google reviews know that…this a great location to stop and dine. All the tables in the lobby were also clean! It was busy with both diners and take out orders. They worked great as a team to efficiently and quickly get everyone in and seated or in and out! Probably busy because the working public knows they can get in and out without losing their entire lunch break on getting food. Kudos to this Subway! Go get you some!“

“1/4 pounder...if processed correctly“

“Fast, friendly and accurate drive through. Probably the nicest people in a drive through in Ocala. I always get a traditional chicken sandwich and a half and half tea and it never disappoints. The food is always hot and the tea is always fresh. This is a great fast food restaurant.“
