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 :)
Old time diner; quaint. Food was good, but service was extraordinary. Place was almost filled, but able to order quickly and got food in timely fashion. (Their waitresses really hustled and moved quickly to handle the crowd. Kudos. Made the visit worthwhile.)
Great way to start off father's day! Amazing service as soon as we walked in. The food was perfect. The stuffed vegan waffles hit the spot. Nice place to bring kids and plenty of vegan options. We will be back!!!
Very friendly customer service! Dog friendly! Gluten Free menu…French Toast, Pancakes, and Waffles! I had the Texas Waffle which comes with grilled peppers, onions, mushrooms, two eggs your way, bacon or sausage, atop a delicious waffle! So yummy. I recommend getting over medium eggs over the waffle. Decent coffee. Great place overall!
The food always hits the spot! & without a long wait. Servers are friendly and attentive. The only thing about this dinner is the seating. You sit very close to other tables. My first time here was great I had breakfast with my boyfriend while a couple next to us had lunch. The woman’s sweet potatoes fries looked so tempting; so I came back. I got a burger and those sweet potato fries tasted just as good as they looked!!! Must try this place I don’t recommend big groups though. The cheese on this burger was sooooo good 👍🏽(I added the mushrooms)
The VEGAN menu was the most extensive we have experienced!! The service was PERFECT!! WE arrived 35 minutes before close and never felt rushed...we even took food home. Chef kiss DEF will be back!!
A local suggested this place for breakfast. I was super excited to arrive and see that they had a HUGE vegan menu in addition to their regular menu! Shake and food was delicious. Service was phenomenal everyone was so nice!! Will def be back next time I’m in town.
I used to be a strict vegan, now I do eat occasional fish. This is the only restaurant in Ocala that I know of that really caters to vegans. The food was delicious even though the plates had processed “chikn’ and soy meat. I loved the burrito with chikn . And, the side of taters were delicious. Atmosphere reminded me of an old fashioned NY diner. Some creative vegan dishes without the highly processed “meats” would be really welcomed. Definitely we will be back.
