Our waiter, Deandre (sorry not sure of spelling) was fantastic! He was very attentive and personable. He made sure all our needs were met and gave us tips on the specials and was just very kind. We got a bunch of appetizers and he made sure everything was just right. We were there celebrating my sister's birthday. He noticed, and brought her out an impromptu ice cream sandwich cake with a candle, making it extra special. He was quick to take away our used dishes and checked on us frequently, but not in an annoying way. He was relatable and laid back. We will definitely be going back!

Wife & I never had food. Just drinks. Shiryl took great care of us. She was simply wonderful! Later, Cassandra came on duty and provided us with great service as well. Thank you both very much!
Highly recommend The Lodge in the historic district of Ocala!

This looks to be the local square hangout spot in Ocala Historic District. Good service, diverse and good crowd flow. Good specials posted inside include draft discounts and weekly specials. Will be visiting again!

Foodbwas mediocre at best. Nothing wrong but just not what I had expected. I had the Bison Burger ($17) and it just was not great. The service was ok but the atmosphere is straight up a Bar. This is a bar, that happens to serve some food. I had been told how the food was "really good" so my hopes were up. In fairness, it was not bad, it just was not great.

First and foremost, the “host” for Bingo Night must believe since I’m someone of COLOR that I wouldn’t know the songs to play Bingo - when I in fact knew the names of most the tunes he played. He went around giving everyone a Bingo card except me. Distasteful, disrespectful, and very much so typical Ocala racism.
**But had the FULL audacity to play songs ft Ludacris, Michael Jackson, etc., make it make sense.
My server was sweet. She was tending to so many tables but she was still as attentive as she could be.
The Robin grilled cheese was pretty good but the fries - oh my gracious the fries are bland. The fries resulted in a low rating.
Decent atmosphere but obviously not the place for individuals with melanated skin.
I came for the AYCD wine but they didn’t have my preferred wine so I went with the Wild Blueberry Cider - can’t go wrong with a cider.
I, personally, cannot recommend this place based off my experience BUT I won’t steer people from giving it a chance. They got my money but it’s certainly the last.
