⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of Ocala’s Best BBQ Spots (maybe the best!)
Brick City Southern Kitchen nails it—every bite was phenomenal. Two of us had the BBQ Bacon Burger, easily one of the best burgers we’ve ever tasted—juicy, smoky, and bursting with flavor. The garlic cheddar grits were off the hook, the mashed sweet potatoes rich and velvety, and the spare ribs meaty and tender. Great Southern BBQ, cozy rustic atmosphere, and flawless execution across the board. Highly recommend.

I’ve been to Brick City many times and it’s easily one of my favorite places in Florida. The food is always incredible and being right in Downtown Ocala just adds to it. Being from out of town, I never miss the opportunity to visit. This last visit though, our server David didn’t seem as friendly or engaging as the staff usually are. He didn’t really make my girlfriend and I feel comfortable or try to connect the way we’ve experienced before. The food was still amazing and we’ll definitely be back, we just hope next time the service matches the usual warm vibe we’re used to.

5 stars isn’t enough for Brick City Southern Kitchen. We’ve hit a ton of barbecue spots across Florida and this one is easily at the top of the list. This is phenomenal food done right.
We kicked things off with the wings and got hit with that perfect crust and seasoning. Smoked just right, packed with flavor, and honestly didn’t even need sauce. That’s rare.
Then we dove into the pulled pork, ribs, onion rings, mac & cheese, and coleslaw. Every single item delivered. The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone tender and loaded with that deep smoky richness.
The onion rings were elite, crispy, seasoned beautifully, no soggy bites here. Even the sides were next level. Mac & cheese was creamy and comforting, coleslaw was fresh with the right crunch.
If you’re within driving distance, make the trip. This spot’s not just good, it’s a must.

Brought My wife and kids for dinner on a Monday evening, we got seated quickly, the lighting inside was rather dimly lit and the menus we received were dirty and greasy but drinks came out fast except my wife's cocktail it was a little slow to get. Ordered the Onion rings app and they were really good, and huge! They came with a ranch sauce for dipping. I ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Green beans and Corn, the Chicken was good it came smothered in a country gravy, the corn was fine but the Green beans were canned mush, the meal also included a jalapeno cornbread which was tasty and sweet. Overall I'd be willing to give it another try , they have a massive Whiskey selection I would like to sample and also other food items that sounded good. Wasn't disappointed but not wowed in any way either.
