Ocala has a beautiful historic downtown with a variety of independent retainers, some more high end dining, some more middle of the road, which is where I live.
I like good food, preferably barbecue, and good healthy portions.
I found all of this and more at Brick City Southern Kitchen.
Great food, great service and an enjoyable atmosphere.
Really like the wall art, well stocked whisky bar, and clean washrooms as well.
I had a pulled pork sandwich.
I highly recommend the vinegar sauce, sounds odd but it works.
Cole slaw, fries and pit beans are very good too.
My wife had the BBQ check-in, great portion and quite good.
We’ll be back!!

We dined here after looking up reviews about pet friendly places and the reviews were on point! The staff was great & welcoming to our newly adopted Jack Russell Terrier who was barking almost non-stop! We dined outside and the food was great! This was our first time visiting Ocala and we'll be back for sure with our quieter JRT 😂

Oh my goodness!!! What a place! Went with an appetite and found it on Google, best places to eat near me. With a rating of 4.9, it was worth a chance. Well…..we agree and have given it a 5.0. It’s an experience of the senses:
You walk in to the smell of BBQ, subtle yet flavorful, opening up your palate and appetite. The restaurant is large, dimmed natural lighting, and inviting. You can hear the subtle background sounds of conversations and laughter. There is a wall-to-wall bar; I’ve never seen so many different types of liquors. The bar area is ample and gives you the feeling of being in a saloon. And now, the food and the taste. Amazing!! Truly! Those smells, from the time you walk in, reflect a chef and cooks hard at work to produce tender and flavor packed meats! You’ve got to go and check it out for yourself! From the brisket burns tips to the variety of samplers (build-your-own-plate), everything was delicious. And a big bonus is that the staff are all friendly, smiling and help add to the relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. Sarah, who was our server, did a great job! Followed up regularly and always had a smile on her face. We know we will return to Brick City ! You should too! 👍🏻

Yep, that was good. Got the pulled pork and it had a great flavor before putting on the sauce and then the sauce was great too. Get the mashed Sweet potatoes and thank me later. I'll be back.
