Low Risk

Public records show 21 inspections at Marion Woods stretching back to 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 26, 2026. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.

“Raw animal food stored over/not properly separated” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Ocala restaurant scores 78. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
