Ocala Downtown Diner,

816 S Magnolia Ave, Ocala, FL 34471, United States

"I had some business downtown, so I stopped in for breakfast. I was greeted warmly. The place was busy so I decided to sit at the counter. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel. It came out quick with a hot cup of coffee. The staff were attentive and the food was done right. This is a good breakfast spot."

"The burgers are very good and fries even better. Amber was super sweet and right on top of things. The lost in a star was the hostess. It seemed like she didn't know what she was doing. Not confident in seating and when asked what drinks available she said, "look at the list right there I don't feel like saying them all". Good thing Amber was so amazing. Super helpful."

"Let me start off by saying this is a small turn dinner, however it is bigger inside than it appears when pulling up to it. Both of the lunch dishes we received were tasty and well proportioned. Our server was polite and kept coming back to check on us. Everything inside the dining area was clean and organized nicely. The only thing I notice was that the bathroom could really use a scraping and repainting."

"We were in town for an event and visited here for a late breakfast. This was the quintessential small town diner with delicious food, friendly staff and excellent prices. The biscuits and gravy was outstanding and the pancakes were generous in portion and perfectly cooked. Don't forget to try the spuds! We are so glad we came across this place and if we find ourselves in Ocala again, we will be back!"

"We visited Ocala Downtown Diner on a weekend, late summer 2023. This is an eatery that is open for breakfast and lunch. They are open everyday and close at 3pm most days except Sunday, where they close at 2pm. They were pretty busy when n we visited, but not overly busy. There were tables available. We were promptly seated with menus. There were two menus. One for traditional folks. One for vegan followers. I didn't look close at it, but the vegan menu looked to have a fairly good amount of choices. So I'm guessing that this might be a good place for these folks to get a meal. The traditional menu wasn't huge, but adequate. We ordered our meals, which came out fairly quickly. I will say that everything we had was quite good. I asked the folks at the next table, and they said their meals were also good. They looked good, that's why I asked. The diner seemed reasonable clean, but they do allow dogs. There was a customer who brought in a well behaved dog, while we were there. He was very respectful as well and posed no issues that I could see. Some folks may not care for animals while eating. But it wasn't an issue for us. Especially when the customer(who was nice) and his dog were respectful to others. They had individual male/female restrooms, which also seemed clean. All in all, the Downtown Diner, is smaller and a little tight. But not to the point of folks feeling uncomfortable. It does make it easy to speak with the tables next to you :)"
