Fast and kind service. Food was really good!
Holy smokes!! Gluten free fried chicken! I was a little skeptical about the gluten free options since it’s kind of a hole in the wall place, but they had TON of GF options - including fried chicken, fried chicken sandwiches, waffles, pancakes, French toast, and a variety of sides. We were in town for a music festival so I felt a tad overdressed but my normal attire would’ve been just fine. I was SO excited to have GF fried chicken and it was SO good!! We will definitely be back!
We have been waiting one whole week to post about this because we were scared our friends and family would see the review. This diner was recommended to us by some local friends after my husband and I finished our gender reveal scan for our second baby. We wanted it to be a surprise and asked our friends if they knew any diners that could accommodate “gender reveal pancakes.” They immediately sent us here and told us to ask for Pixie. We walked in and the smell was amazing! I saw exactly what I wanted for lunch and so did hubby…the burgers are to die for! As for dessert we asked for a blue fruit filling for a boy and a red filling for a girl as we passed on the envelope to Pixie. After finishing up our delicious lunch, the table was cleared and two giant fluffy pancakes (topped with whip cream ☺️) sat on our table as our sweet waitress filmed our surprise. Not only did baby BOY behave enough for me to enjoy this delicious lunch, but he even allowed me to eat a few bites on pancake for the special day. This will be our go to spot whenever we visit Ocala and we truly cannot thank our friends and the staff enough! It was perfect!
What a delight! My husband is vegan and they have a wonderful separate vegan menu. He ate the Philly cheesesteak and loved it. I had gluten-free pancakes and they were yummy! The price is right and we loved it and will go back soon!
Absolutely amazing atmosphere, incredible food and super friendly staff.

I had my first visit at this diner and I had such a great experience from service to the delicious food and I appreciated the music. It was great to see a veggie omelet with everything I love in it including avocado.? I highly recommend and I will be coming back soon to dine in soon.

My mom and I came in for a quick bite while waiting on an appointment at the courthouse. We were quickly brought to a table and had drinks within a minute. The menu had plenty of options for a big filling breakfast or a quick healthy bite like we had. 1 egg. 1 meat. 1 toast for under 5$ I believe. You can't beat that!
Parking: Parking is small and I noticed that during busy or peak hours that there might be some difficulties. Just a friendly heads up!
