“This restaurant was great at one point in time both the food and service. The last two months or so all of the decent wait staff is no longer there and the enviroment has changed. Now the wait staff is not friendly with exception of the the bar tenders and host staff, there is white trash present and the service just sucks, I'm quite surprised that the owners of Northern origin would allow this. I just walked out there today because after being seating for nearly 20 minutes I was not even given drinks at this point. frustrating to see this happen to what was once a great friendly environment now turned upside down.“

“Excellent food, service and value, it’s our new favorite place for lunch.“

“I love your food and service! Any chance of opening another location closer to the retirement community of On Top of the World on Highway 200 in Ocala? There are several thousand people there, many of whom would love your food and prices but don't like the 1/2 hr. drive there. Hope to hear back from you!!“

“If you haven't tried this place yet stop waiting! it is beyond amazing food and wonderful staff. I stopped in today for a quick lunch. I had the chicken sandwich and it was on point. This is one of those hidden gem local spots that goes above and beyond compared to other similar restaurants. I am already planning a future visit with my guy for date night.“

“your employee Tabitha made our evening with great service“

“My hubby and I have been to many dining places in The Villages. We have had a few disappointments in some of the establishments but never at City Fire… it’s our “ to go to place” if we don’t know where to go when we visit The Villages. We did have one negative experience with our server but the manager Julie (Andrews, as she says to remember her), took over and turned our negative experience to a positive experience very promptly. The menu is very broad and the food is very tasty, very fresh ingredients which is definitely difficult to get many times.“

“yes but! the bartender was good until her friends showed up and she was too busy showing her friends pictures on her phone and gabbing while we waited 10 minutes for a drink and food order. meanwhile the Manager was standing right there oblivious but finally noticed our frustration and he came over to wait on us and I told him why we were frustration but he didn't care. then she continued to ignore use and was rude complaining to other customers about us? do your job! anyway the food was excellent service horrible.“

“Great food and two for one cocktails, also great entertainment!!“

“First time here and as a former restaurant critic, I am pleasantly surprised! Great service by Emalee, our server, and the food portions and quality was very good. It’s connected to the bowling alley which we didn’t know either. The Manager was sweet too and loved that we are both originally from WV.“
