Open Haus, which opened its doors this past February, is the newest tenant of a location (3105 E Silver Springs Blvd) that has seen a variety of restaurants in its history.

The restaurant has been remodeled and renovated entirely, offering a full bar and shake station in addition to an eclectic mix of modern fixtures and nostalgic comfort foods.

The menu is chicken-heavy, with salads, tenders, pasta, and the staple chicken wings that the restaurant offers in a variety of flavors, including an “Ocala Hot” that tastes similar to traditional hot Buffalo sauce.
