We have been coming to The Flying Boat Taproom since the very beginning—and very easily have dined here over twenty times. I am not sure how it is possible, but every time seems better and better. The quality of the ingredients, the expert preparation of the food, and the care and attentiveness of the staff has always been truly five star. We are great lovers of IPAs, and the ever changing rotation of the creatively named brews is always a great topic of discussion.
A special shoutout to Shayna who is a server par excellence and so patient with our ‘custom’ pizza orders. Other nights, we also have a fabulous time eating at the bar where bartender Kevin (and Shayna’s brother!) is not afraid to give me a hard time for stealing what should be my husband’s pizza 😂 And in terms of the pizza, Chris was once a pizza chef himself during his UH days in Honolulu—and Flying Boat is really and truly the only pizza he will eat! Twice now we have made the mistake of ordering pizza while traveling in the Keys and North Carolina, and twice we have cried the blues, ‘this ain’t no Flying Boat’ 😭 For this we have chefs Lester, Jaiden, and Chris to thank—and please know your efforts are very much appreciated. We will be back soon!! 🍕

This is a really nice taproom! Large selection of varied beer 28 beers on tap, and 107 in bottles and cans. Great service! I had a pizza and it was really good. I'll be in town for a couple days and I plan to go back. 🍻

What a great find! Fast and friendly service (thanks Kevin!), delicious food, and one of the best beer menus we’ve seen. Plenty of seating indoors and outside with a casual, laid back vibe. Definitely worth it after our round at the Ocala Greenway!

Hometown type of bar. Wide varieties offered as well as make your own orders taken for salads, pizza & burgers. Someone came up with very creative names for the menu items - fun conversation starter in & of itself. A man singing & playing guitar was present in the main room Sunday afternoon. I was part of a group of 9 and everyone really enjoyed the taste of their meal (& nice sized portions). Wide selection of beers. Food is served as it is prepared so a group isn't necessarily served at the same time. Reservations are a good idea during busy times. Inside & outside seating.
