First time eating here, I am extremely picky when it comes to any food besides my mamas, but I was 1000% impressed with the food, the atmosphere, the service, it was all just amazing! Give it a try, you won't be sorry read more

We needed a place to hang out while my cat got serviced. I found them via Yelp and took the chance. Their door advertises these hotcakes that are 1"thick. So what the heck , we ordered a 2 stack of Pineapple uoside down cake, and those were simply a woek of art. I irdered a summer salad with chicken ,fresh fruit, etc and it was soo good! So much flavor in every bite. My husband had a Huge burger. Service was awesome, food was amazing we will be back read more

Don't follow the directions on Yelp--this restaurant is located at the end of the strip mall, not in the middle. The dining room is large and open with plenty of seating, including both tables and booths. Service was a little slow, but with only two servers working, it was understandable. They serve Coke products, which is always a plus for me. I appreciated being able to order the turkey club without any sides since I don't eat large portions. If you're hungry, the sandwiches normally come with two sides. I also ordered the French toast ($7.56) with no extras. It comes topped with powdered sugar, but I opted out. It was served on a small plate with no room for anything else. The French toast was made with standard bread and egg batter--nothing fancy, but it was prepared well and tasted good. The turkey club was substantial and satisfying. I would have preferred it cut into quarters like a traditional club sandwich, and the ingredients should have extended closer to the edges of the bread rather than being centered. It also could have used a bit more turkey. That said, the sandwich was juicy, flavorful, and tasted exactly like a turkey club should. Overall, a solid meal with generous portions, plenty of seating, and a comfortable atmosphere. read more

Maybe we got lucky this morning as the wait for our breakfast and pancakes were pretty quick as compared to what others have noted. Considering the place was pretty busy at 9am on a Sunday. We were told that there was usually a 15-20 minute wait with how they make the pancakes, but we were not in a rush anyway, and really needed coffee first to wake up after rushing due to an emergency phone call at 5am to get to the rehab center where my mom is at close by. Our food arrived in about 10 minutes, Oh, and these are not your granddad's pancakes. These are pancakes on steroids! Delicious and fresh these monsters are huge and more than enough to fill your belly. They have an all you can eat option too! That's nuts! I was ready to be rolled out of the place after my one serving. Our server was terrific, friendly, funny, and attentive. Filled our coffees a few times, brought us ice water, and made our morning a bit more cheerful under the circumstances. Our meals were prepared just right, but those pancakes are the stars here. We ordered the 2-2-2 combo - 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 strips of bacon or sausage, $15, and worth it. As the owners had more of a farm stand and eatery before moving to this spot they have kept that cozy and quaint vibe with the decor and assorted items and jellies for sale in racks by the entrance. Clean bathrooms. The dining area offers plenty of seating with booths and smaller tables, clean and bright. Many breakfast, brunch, and lunch items to choose from. Located in a corner spot at the end of a strip mall which has a Planet Fitness and near Walmart. read more

OMG!!! You MUST stop here if you're needing a breakfast/brunch spot. The service was wonderful, but the kitchen is a tad bit slow. BUT SO WORTH THE WAIT!!! When I tell you these hotcakes are huge!!! My picture only has one, so just imagine the 222 deal! I had the pineapple upside down and the others had no complaints. YUMMMY!! read more

This is an off the beat location at the end of a strip mall with an unusual decor and layout. The staff were super friendly and the food was great and the place was packed with folks waiting at the door. The wait time was excruciating as it is unlikely they are prepared for a full slam staff and kitchen-wise. But we would definitely return if we visit Ocala again. read more

Not impressed the food was just basically standard. Nothing special at all overpriced for what you got. Service is very Lab lackluster. I would say ambience was that of a dressing room in a department store very very bland. I don't think I'll be going back. read more

This was our 2nd visit. This time we brought friends. We enjoyed our time so much we will make this a regular thing on our way to Gator games. This is a clean spacious restaurant. Our server was friendly, attentive and a bit humorous. Our food was very tasty. We had chicken salad, Philly cheese steak, cinnamon roll pancake and omelette. Omelette had plenty of veggies inside and out. Sandwiches were excellent. Their broccoli apples salad is a must for sides My only complaint is our food took quite a while to come out. We think it was the pancakes as they were more like small cakes not typical pancakes made on a grill. We highly recommend this place! read more

THIS is the breakfast place we have been looking for! As soon as we walked into this pleasant and comfortable cafe we were greeted by multiple staff and told to sit anywhere we would like. The restaurant was clean with nicely spaced tables and booths. The menu has a great variety of breakfast sweets, eggs, bowls, and meats and a lunch menu that has just as many options! It is SO hard to choose what to order! We WILL be going back soon! I had the Strawberry Cream Cheese pancake with a side of bacon and my husband had the 2 eggs, 2 bacon, and 2 French Toast. We were both sad to take the last bite of our meals as they were so good! This place was amazing! We also bought two jars of jam to bring home as a treat! read more

It's nice that Todd and Shelly's started opening up at 7:00 a.m. during the week days. I went there early and got a early bird breakfast. I don't like to eat a lot of breads so I substitute tomatoes and top my eggs with a little gravy. Waited about 14 to 18 minutes because they make it fresh. It was nice and quiet and relaxing in the restaurant. I was blessed that Shelly waited on me. Such a nice change of pace to sit back and relax after a hectic morning. read more

The food here is solid. The big fluffy hotcakes are a must. I got the BLT with a couple eggs on it which was HUGE. Fresh tomatoes and veggies. The bacon could've been cooked longer (I'm partial to crispy bacon on my BLTs). I still give the food 4-4.5 stars. We will come back as there are other menu items I want to try. Only thing I would caution folks on is that they make their food from scratch so they even have a note on each table to let patrons know that during busy times, it could take an hour to get your food. We came at 10am on a Saturday morning during peak time. The hostess said to please be patient and the server will come soon. Took about 10-15mins for server to come by which was no biggie. Server was great and helped us figure out what to get. Food came out about 30-35mins later. All in all, a good experience. Filling food with other menu items we want to try and the restaurant itself seems like they're still trying to get into their groove, but they do a good job even so. They also have some jellies, honey, and other items for sale up front. Give this place a shot- I bet you'll like it! read more

This was hands down the best gyro and Greek salad ever! The meat was so tasty and tender and the pita bread was grilled to perfection. The tomatoes and lettuce were fresh and the tzatziki was perfect. It added so much flavor but didn't overwhelm the sandwich. Portions are huge but I have to say I ate my whole sandwich it was that good. Lovely waitress and very enjoyable atmosphere. I rarely leave reviews but this was exception. May come to Ocala just to eat here!!! read more

Todd and Shelly's Farm Fresh Restaurant - Gyro with Greek salad - Farmers Market Near Me - Ocala, Florida

The food was delicious and the portions were substantial. Despite being short staffed the day we went, the service was very good. As the food is freshly prepared once it's ordered, expect a bit longer wait time,but the wait is well worth it. read more

Went on a Saturday about 10:15, waited 15 minutes for a table which was to be expected. Restaurant seemed clean and had a relaxed atmosphere. Asked waitress for coffee, it never came. Asked another server and she brought it over. Food took 50 minutes to arrive. All food was cold and we had to remind waitress for our sides, which came about 3/4 way through the meal, just in time to box them to take home. When I checked out and told cashier how long we waited for our food I was told that there were so many door dash orders the diners order got pushed back. So basically, the ones that make the effort to drive there to sit and eat and provide income (tips) to waitstaff get punished so door dash can pick up. If you are that busy, hire dedicated cooks for online orders. Heard great things about this place, maybe we caught them on am off day. read more

Too slow good food took to long food was cold Very busy waitress too short handed Nicę different place to eat support small business read more

I visited the area for work and decided to stop for an early lunch. I got the hot cakes, eggs, and a meat combo, and I added an order of buttered toast. The food was really good, and I loved the hot cakes! My server was very sweet and friendly, but service was kind of slow. They only had 2 servers for over 10 occupied tables and, as far as I could tell, they were responsible for everything (i.e., taking orders, running the food and drinks, and bussing the tables). Given that, I'm still rating it 5 stars and will be back if I'm in the area. read more

Found by accident. You've have got to go. The food, the staff and everything was awesome. At first I was leary because it is in a strip mall. Not a worry. EVERYTHING IS GOOD ABOUT THIS PLACE. The wait was worth it. They were BUSY at 10 am on Saturday. GO. read more

Excellent restaurant. Great food. Sometimes the experience can take a bit longer than usual but they self admit this as all food is made to order. The thick pancakes are the best. Very cozy and cute. Family business read more

Short version: underwhelming. Stopped in on a Sunday for breakfast. Was seated immediately. Super friendly staff. Ordered biscuits and gravy with eggs on the side. Biscuits were reasonably light, not excessively dense, but the gravy was just kind of bland. Eggs were eggs, nothing remarkable. Guess I expected more from a place that prides itself on scratch cooking. I did see some very fluffy pancakes being served to another diner, which caught my eye. I'm not in Ocala often, but I suppose I'd give this place another shot. Just not the biscuits and gravy... read more

My lunch started out with Ashley as my waitress. Very pleasant conversation and provided me with some readers since I hand lost my glasses. I ordered The green tomato BLT with soft beacon, french fries and coleslaw. Be prepared this is a triple decker BLT! Everything was prepared perfectly, beacon soft and full of flavors, french fries crunchy on the outside and perfectly cooked. Desert was banana pudding. Let me explain it's the little details that count. Your desert is made to order the vanilla wafers are set in your bowl, fresh cut bananas pudding and whipped cream. So you get crunchy not soft squishy cookies! Who goes to this effort. I definitely will be coming back when I'm back in Ocala! They also have very nice sitting areas for conversation before or after eating. read more

Always hard to decide what to order! We agree in advance to order a mini smorgasbord then don't share!

This mom and pop restaurant located in Ocala I found through Yelp. Wanted to find a local place for breakfast and we sure did. The ambiance was very local and the service was superb. Our server was amazing. We order fluffy pancakes, Greek and Brisket Omelette. Coming from Miami I was not thrilled about their coffee. But we had a great experience. Definitely will come back if in the area. read more

Had high hopes after reading reviews. Went for early breakfast. Place was basically empty. Took a long time to get service. Places order. Took 45 minutes to get basic meal of eggs bacon and pancake.Ordered pancake. Different. One inch thick with caramelized thick coating of sugar. Asked for plain pancake. Was told by waitress that is how They are made. Explained cant eat it with so much sugar. Was told they put sugar in batter and pan. Took pancake away. Threw out and charged me for it. Bad service, food and customer service. read more

I've had breakfast here several times. The food is consistently fabulous! Fresh ingredients; v generous servings; flavors are great! The breakfast / lunch menus are varied and quite appealing - plus the kitchen is super accommodating so you're very likely to get what and how you like it. Shelly was the server - her name is on the joint so you KNOW the service is going to been super friendly and attentive! Everything about how the space is laid out and furnished gives the impression of a good quality rustic diner: nice photos of many of their dishes, crates of those incredible fresh tomatoes, appealing boxes of fresh cookies, etc. Excellent value / highly recommend. read more

We received a friendly greeting at the door. I had breakfast and my husband had lunch (they serve breakfast and lunch all day). The chicken pot pie soup was very tasty. It tasted like an excellent pot pie in a bowl. My western omelette looked messy but was delicious. The restaurant is located in the same area as Walmart. The interior was warm and welcoming. read more

Waited about 20 minutes for drinks. Another 30 for food. Service was very slow and inattentive. Asked for no onion and still got onion. Fries were cold. I wouldn't eat here again if it was free. read more

This week my daughter took me here for my first time. She has been here many times with her friends and always enjoyed her food. First off it is absolutely adorable inside! You feel the love as soon as you walk in. It is eclectic and comfy with multiple unique seating areas. One reason I recommend this place is because they serve breakfast and lunch all day no matter the time. Plus all the food is fresh and made to order. The staff is super friendly and sweet. My daughter had the chocolate chip banana hotcake which I tasted. It is huge so order one at a time, and it was yummy!! I had a fried green tomato BLT. I didn't realize it was a double decker so I definitely wasn't able to finish it even though it was tasty. It came with your choice of 2 sides. I chose watermelon and broccoli apple salad. Had I known the salad was going to be so AMAZING I would have gotten it for both of my sides. It was broccoli, diced apple, cranberries, shredded carrots and I think pecans in a yogurt kind of blend. It was so delicious I can't wait to go back! There is a little wait for your food but it is worth it cuz it is made when ordered so it is fresh. read more

We stopped here because of the previous reviews.

These are incredible people. I have always meandered into the place in Bellevue and the food whether breakfast or lunch was always delicious and plentiful. I have not been to the new location yet but I suspect I will grab a gang and go check it out, it just has to be a wonderful experience. read more

Absolutely loved it! A quaint and charismatic hole in the wall type of place with wonderful service and delicious, made from scratch food. We really loved their sandwiches and sides, unique and large variety of offerings. The best things we ate were the club sandwich, broccoli apple salad, and hot pastrami sandwich, all fantastic. Recommend not wasting your time on the fried green tomatoes or fries - fairly bland and basic. Overall, we kept commenting how we want to go out of our way to come back. Looking forward to trying more of their offerings. read more

The food was very big portions, however, taste was OK. It took almost an hour to get our food sign on the table. Says it's gonna take a while to receive your food. The restaurant wasn't even grouted. And it's still took forever. read more

Annoyed. Drove all the way here because it says it's pet friendly and I'm traveling with my dog and they said "oh it's only emotional support, we forgot to update Yelp and Google". I'm all for restaurants setting the rules but not for them wasting my time. That said, place doesn't look like worth driving out of your way for. But if you are in the area perhaps worth a try... it was relatively busy so food can't be bad. read more

PANCAKES THE SIZE OF BIRTHDAY CAKES UNTIL... I overheard the server tell the table behind us there was an hour wait. Wait? She didn't tell us that and we sat after them. Meanwhile we'd ordered $20 worth of "cocktails". The Malibu sunrise and the espresso martini, or nothing but colored sweet water drinks. DO NOT under any circumstances order any cocktails from this place. They do not tell you that they are wine based, which is not a cocktail (but that's another story). The fact that she told the table behind us there was an hour wait (not 90 seconds after we were sat) is troublesome. I was so looking forward to the pancakes, or hot cakes as they call them. The only thing I can think of is they cook them in small cake pans...i digress... Improve by 1) telling your customers in advance (before you seat them) that there's an hour wait, 2) telling your customers that your alleged cocktails are made with wine not actual liquor, 3) owning it!! When a table asks to leave because the wait has already been an hour don't charge them for the drinks that they didn't drink. I wish I could get this place a five star review. I read other reviews, I've seen the pictures, my mouth was watering before even got there. But, this is best example of a place that just does not live up to its hot cakes. read more
