We have been twice and can't wait to return. Service and food is just like being at home with family!

Excellent food! Liver and onions was delish! Very family oriented, such a nice environment. This is a big musttry!

Seated quickly. Clean and spacious. Ordered quickly. Served quickly. Great steak and eggs quality and value. Seems like a family owned place with happy employees. I was close enough to the cooks that I could hear some of their chatter which was positive. Compared to some diners, they have enough staff Will be back.

Food was delicious, oxtail was amazing, tender, and packed with flavor. Went 2 days in a row for the biscuits ans butter with honey, they were flakes and delicious! Had the porkchops with the brown gravy oh sooo good (recommend ordering a extra porkchop how good they are) Atmosphere was inviting and friendly, I recommend giving them a try for yourself!

On a drive through Florida, hopped on Yelp to find a Black-owned restaurant for lunch. The reviews and pics drew me in so a stop was made. BAY-BEEEEE!!!!!!! This food!!!! Whewwww!!! Definitely got more than I was looking for out of Big Man's Cafe! This food reminded me of somebody's grandma in the kitchen. I haven't tasted soul food cooked to perfection like this in more than a decade. People really do not cook like this anymore - the recipes are indeed being lost. Thank goodness Big Man is holding them tight! We were properly greeted upon entry and welcomed to take a seat. I was surprised at the size of the restaurant as there are two large areas for seating. One side has booths and tables, the other has tables and a sizeable bar with several TVs. Enjoyed the large windows bringing in nice lighting to eat with. The servers here are very friendly and familiar - we were treated like valued returning guests even though it was only our first visit. I ordered the smothered pork chops with dressing, collard greens and yams. This was a plate of classic soul food. The flavor. The flavor! Every dish was seasoned and cooked to perfection. If someone ever asked me what soul food tastes like, I would bring them to Big Man's Cafe to have all of their questions answered. The pork chop was fried crispy which the gravy soaked right up while the meat was tender. The greens had an amazing old school flavor - no frozen unseasoned greens here! And the yams. Mmm! Real sweet potatoes cooked with just the right amount of sugar so it still tasted a tiny bit healthy. LOL We learned on this visit that a cornmeal pancake comes with the meal but it has to be requested, so don't forget to ask. Listen: the food was so good I made a stop *back* at Big Man's Cafe on the way back through Florida a week later. The service and food was just as good as the first time! There was also live music on a Friday afternoon, which was a nice touch. On this visit, I had the smothered chicken with that good-good dressing, yams and green beans. Goodness gracious alive, that was some good eating! It comes with a half-chicken which was too much to eat at one time. But I will say that chicken came in handy later in my ride and certainly did not make it home. Also, the green beans were so good they inspired me to try and get that flavor at home more than a week later. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the amount of food. Wait times were not long at all, even on the second visit which was right in the midst of the lunch rush with quite a few other patrons. Very clean establishment including the restroom. I can't wait to get back to Ocala one day and make another visit. Big Man, you and the family keep doing what ya doing!!

Saw this place on Fox local and decided to give it a try. Simply AMAZING!!! I had the loaded biscuit. Sausage gravy was great. Also came with bacon , cheese, and 2 eggs on top. My wife had the smothered pork chop and couldn't say enough about how much she liked it. Reasonable prices, super friendly staff that makes you feel like you are part of the family! I would give this 6 stars if I could!

Not a bad spot. The service was great. Everyone was friendly from the hostess to the owner. I truly appreciate the hospitality and make me feel like I was part of the family. I Ordered the turkey wings with sweet potatoes, collard greens and dressing. It was absolutely delicious. Nice location gives you that Southern feeling. My only issue is I wanted to try the poundcake, but they were all out. Hopefully, next time I'll be able to get some.

Killer breakfast at excellent prices! The staff is so friendly and service was great. Located in a plaza, so lots of parking. The interior was fresh and modern. The owners even took the time to go table to table to make sure the experience was up to par. It was a nice touch. We ordered the pork chop breakfast, one grilled, one smothered. Both were devoured in minutes. Excellent lunch menu, with all the southern fixings. Looking forward to returning real soon!
