“great food and atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful“

“We enjoyed our early Monday supper very much. We had Shrimp and Fajita Quesadillas, Fish Tacos and a Coctel de Camerones.

Only one meal was thought to be less than very good which was the Shrimp Quesadilla. She felt that the shrimp needed to be sautéd to add flavor.

The restaurant itself was a bit rough. We had to have the server engineer the table legs so the drinks did not spill from the wobble. Looking around we saw many tables had that issue.

The mariachi music was loud enough that the server had difficulty taking our order. There were some large screen TV’s that had some horse race results that remained unchanged until just before we left when a race came on. Yee Haw“

“This place is the bomb. Bartenders and staff all go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect from beginning to end. Drinks are poured perfect and cold. And the oysters…..amazing.“

“This place has a great vibe, a quick and attentive staff, and I'm a fan of their Winfinite brew. I'll be back for sure.“

“Very good bakery and Italian deli items. Family owned and operated.“

“We eat there a couple of times every time we stay at WEC, and they do have some of the best salsa. It’s a very similar concept to like Chipotle, but with a lot better options and selections. Everything is fresh and tastes great. It’s one of the better options at WEC if you’re looking for something more reasonably priced.“

“Sorry, but I'm going to have to tell you a story and then I'll tell you why I rated them five stars.

I got a flat tire back in Gainesville so I changed it myself and started a 3-hour trip South. I knew I needed to tighten those lug nuts pretty soon so I pulled in to this place which has an empty parking lot right next door.

It took forever to get to the window and there were only three cars in front of me, but I liked the concept of little sliders and nothing on them. There are options to add bacon and other things but I just wanted a pickle and how it came. It had a cool sounding dipping sauce called Smooze that you would have to be a fool not to spend $0.99 on. The menu had so few options that I was thrilled that I didn't have to make any more decisions that day. And absolutely opt for the shake instead of soft drink option . The waffle chips that came with them are like a revelation and they go great with the shake !

Yeah, it was pricey. But it was worth every penny.

It genuinely felt like it just came off the grill. The meat was moist and thick. The cheese was melted practically perfectly. I totally was not expecting it to be this good. I knew absolutely nothing about it before I pulled in.

So at the end of the day, a flat tire can be good for something. If you're in Ocala stop by this place. I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.“

“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.🫶🏿💚💗🖤🩵💙🩵💙🖤💚💯💯💕💕💮🪷“

“Best Italian stop for food on my way back to Port St Lucie. May find work near here just to visit more often.“

“Leah/Alisha was a fantastic waitress with her recommendations and promptness (but without going over the top) - great personality too!

Foood was fabulous; steak cooked to perfection and pasta dishes great.

Great wine list too.

Highly recommend!

Parking: Plenty of space, even though busy“

“Great food good service“

“Hanging out on the back patio was very cool. The bartender was great (forgot his name) but he took great care of our group (10 of us) and made sure our drinks were full and we were sitting away from the bar. We ordered food and it was awesome. I had mudbugs (crawfish) and smoked fish dip. I will definitely make this place one of my must to stops.“

“Kyle gave such a personal and fun experience. The experience is so good I'll be coming back tomorrow during Sunday Football. Food wise- Killer Chicken Nachos.....the chicken was moist enough for two I room for dessert. See ya tomorrow.“

“Stopped by Tom’s for the first time and bought the pork sandwich and it was amazing . Definitely 5 star . Will be back 😎“

“Pretty solid choice. Grandkids love it. Servers are always nice and attentive. Those breadsticks are amazing, as are all of the dishes I've tried. The desserts are pricey, kids love the chocolate mouse cake after lunch, but 10$ a slice is a little nutty. Luckily, so am I, so I always order.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: For sure“

“Pretty decent pizza place for something quick and cheap to grab but the sauce was freezing cold and the pizza slices were barely cut but the big slices were enjoyable. They didn't have the $5 pizza deal anymore which sucked, it's what my spouse and I were hoping for but again they're not very expensive. I just wish they took cash tips for delivery orders, just card payments.“

“Went for Mother's Day. Wait was short and service and food were excellent.“

“Fabulous staff, Fun vibes, Great energy!! 😀 🤩“

“my husband and I are celebrating our 36th anniversary. We have been wanting prime rib and found that on Mondays, They have two prime rib dinners for $40. Chrissy the server was very attentive and blessed us with a piece of key lime pie. Thank you! we appreciated the extra attention!The food was good and came out in a timely manner. The back of the restaurant could use some re-decorating.“

“You guys have an excellent staff. I just had to transfer to a new work location in Ocala because the location in the city I live in shut down. It's a very long commute, and there are a lot of stressful and frustrating things going on right now as our systems are restructured.

I went through this Dunkin donuts drove thru today to get an iced coffee to help me power through the day, and I left laughing and smiling. I really couldn't have asked for better customer service, and I really needed a morale boost today. A huge thank you to the Dunkin Donuts team on College road! I'll definitely be back.“

““Diane, George, Freddy...What an Outstanding team!” johnfjohnston The Villages, Florida Diane, George, Freddy...What an Outstanding team! 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.“

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

“Cody’s Original Roadhouse in Ocala was just out our hotel’s front door, so we chose it for an early dinner this afternoon. Such a great experience with tasty food served up expertly by our server, Daniel! He was top-notch, working with speed and accuracy, and the sweet potato was absolutely the best I have ever had at a restaurant so hurrah goes to the cook, too! The salmon and salad were excellent, as well as my husband’s steak and potatoes meal was also delish! Great Job all around Cody’s!“
