Arrived at about noon on a Sunday. The restaurant was 1/2 full or so. No problem getting a table. Our server was awesome and so was the food. Probably the best burger and fries I've had in Ocala. I love the theme of this place and now that I know about it, I'll be a regular supporter.

We had a great waitress, Cassidy S. She was efficient and extremely friendly and down-to-earth. The atmosphere here is really relaxing, and we had Friday night entertainment who were awesome! And of course, the food here is abundant and outstanding!

This has to be my favorite newly found spot. The burger was absolutely amazing, but better yet, the fresh union rings blew me away!!!!!!!! They were crunchy, large and full of flavor. They were certainly the best union rings I have ever eaten.

Shoutout to another restaurant (that doesn't serve BURGERS at DINNER??) that I left for mentioning Off Duty. Best burger in the entire area and the service was great, too. Will be back many times and definitely with more people!

We have been there three times so far, but I was very disappointed to find I had been charged $4:50 extra because I ordered my chicken grilled for the cna sandwich. I should have checked the menu to verify, but took the waitress word that the bill was right. Won't do that again. The fries were a bit over spiced this time as well. F ... read more

I have been wanting to check out this place for about a year now. It was my first time there and definitely won’t be my last. You can tell the quality of their indigents are above par to other restaurants. Using the better ingredients makes for delicious food. I’d definitely recommend the fondue appetizer. Will be back for great food ... read more

This great place has one of the best unique menus I've seen in Ocala. Not your typical grill and burger joint.

Looking for a local place to eat and found this tavern owned by a local Fireman. Our group of 5 had meals from breakfast to burgers to fish and they were all excellent!

Pricey but worth it all! We visited for the first time today and ordered a Reuben, custom burger, kids mac n cheese, cheese sticks, and candied bacon. All of it was 5 stars and exceeded our expectations. We will absolutely return!

Very busy last night, but we still received great service. My wife and I ordered the fish and chips. Wow, two large pieces of cod. Fantastic cole slaw and French fries that reminded me of my mum. Hand cut and fried to a dark golden brown. Just like my mum used to do. The onion rings were the best in town, and plenty of them.

This place is saved in the “my places” on my iPhone! Great food and service. Environment is just right to gather for meetings or just a part for two. Highly recommend this small business to support instead of some large food chain restaurant.

We had not seen this restaurant appear in our search of local places to eat before so we decided to try it. We came in around 3:30pm and it was quiet. Maybe one other table.
