Resolve to Dine at Locally Owned Restaurants in 2019

As 2018 winds down, you might be starting to think about making some New Year's resolutions. Losing weight and exercising more are common ones, but if you like to dine out, how about resolving to do so at more privately-owned and operated local restaurants than at chains? While chain restaurants like Applebee’s, Chili's and Olive Garden may provide us with comfort and confidence in their consistency, we can help the Ocala economy by supporting local eateries and giving us the opportunity to cook for us. 

Here are some to consider:

Big Lee's BBQ (food truck, Friday and Saturday only)

Yelp rating: 4.5 stars with 115 reviews

Brooklyn's Backyard (New American, Pizza, Burgers)

Yelp rating: 4.5 stars with 169 reviews

La Hacienda (Mexican)

Yelp rating: 4.5 stars with 223 reviews

Mark's Prime Steakhouse (Steak and Seafood)

Mesa de Notte (Italian)

Yelp rating: 4.5 stars with 70 reviews

Yelp rating: 4.5 stars with 43 reviews

Royal Orchid (Thai)
