Great breakfast spot, with even better food. Everything we ordered was delicious. The biscuits and gravy was amazing, and the cinnamon roll was fresh, and huge- Enough for two people. Get there early, cause they filled up fast. Either inside, or outside, everywhere in the restaurant is a good seat. Friendly people, and good service. Definitely recommend

Went with a group for lunch. The drive was 45-60 minutes. Spoiler alert ... it was well worth it. We had close to 30 people in our group. They had been told in advance and were ready for us. Upon arrival we were seated promptly and our orders were taken. The food was served reasonably fast and hot. Some of the portions were huge. One person had a breakfast with pancakes. The pancakes were as big as the plate. I had country fried steak that came with a pork gravy, green beans, mashed potatoes, and garlic bread. Let's just say that the leftovers will be my supper tonight. Everyone was pleased and went home with a full stomach...and many with doggie bags. Delicious food, great service, and nice atmosphere. They will definitely see me again

This is a old Florida style country dinner. Nice rustic interior. Nice outdoor patio seating. Service was friendly and tea was good. My wife started with cheese burger soup. OMG I could have ordered more to take home. She had the chicken salad sandwich with grapes, pecans with spring mix lettuce on a croissant toasted. It was delicious. I had the steak sandwich with cheese and bacon. It was good. It came with shoe string fries and creamy coleslaw. It was relaxing and nice setting outside. They do a big breakfast here also.

We came in and were seated right away. It was crowded too. We had a delicious breakfast and our waitress was very attentive and sweet. We sat on the patio where we had a beautiful breeze blowing. The ambiance was perfect and we will be back. Thanks.

Best breakfast/brunch restaurant in Ocala. Only thing bigger than the menu is the size of the portions. I really liked that you could create your own breakfast, with sides and half orders available. Reasonably priced, casual atmosphere, with the best server staff I've ever seen. Outdoor seating available. So glad a long time resident suggested this place. Can't wait to return for Brunch.

Great breakfast spot. The menu is extensive with a lot of options for even the pickiest eater. I got the eggs Benedict and it was super good. I shared a chocolate chip pancake and it was the size of the table. Everything was so good and the staff very friendly.

This was my first visit Red's and it was based off of a recommendation from my daughter. This establishment gives you the old country cooking vibe without the "Corporate America" seal. Our server, "Ashley" was awesome from start to finish. She provided great service with a smile and took care of our every need. Red's Restaurant was neat and clean and the food was amazing. We came on a Saturday morning and didn't have a long wait to be seated, but you better come early and prepared to eat because you won't be dissatisfied. I give Red's Restaurant 2 BFI First Pumps, but don't let my review decide for you, come taste the best local breakfast around.

Great home-made food. Big portions. I had the Country Fried Steak dinner with home fries and coleslaw. The Country Fried Steak is freshly hand-battered and HUGE. The home fries are a good as my grandma's. They are open for breakfast and lunch, closing at 2:00pm. Get there early. Very busy on Saturdays and Sundays.
