If you want more than pizza, head to Ocala
There aren’t too many restaurants in Fort McCoy, but a few options include Rocco’s Pizza, a modest, classic Italian restaurant known for its hearty slices and Greek salads. Locals love the warm, home-like vibe created by the restaurant and its staff. Arlene’s Kitchen is another option that offers Mexican-American fare from tacos and wings to tostadas and burgers. Residents can pick up their groceries from the Fort McCoy Grocery or the Dollar General. “When people need something, they go to Gainesville or Ocala. Fort McCoy is right between them,” Aldrich says. “People go there for work and groceries and eating out since there’s not much around in the neighborhood.”
