We stumbled upon this place, passing through to help a buddy move was not disappointed. Very big portions delicious yummy food. Servers were on point with the coffee never letting it go low. Super happy to be able to support a veteran Semper Fi Marine.

Cool stuff on the walls

Just so happens, I was in Lancaster and wanted a nice breakfast checked the yelp and found Crazy otto's with a decent amount of reviews. went inside and got seated at the old Timey counter immediately asked if I wanted something to drink and I got coffee. menu is pretty straightforward. Decent prices huge portions ambience is knickknacks and license plates from all over the country mostly California pictures of the old place the original all kinds of other stuff. It's a treasure trove of goodies. The food was amazing. 9:30 in the morning, it was filled with old patrons that have been coming in there for years had a great conversation and went about my day with a smile on my face.

This was my first time dining here. My sister made sure were the before the crowd. This is a busy restaurant. This restaurant has been in this location near the train tracks in the Lancaster area for over twenty years. The decor of the restaurant is a ton of memorabilia of the railroad, vehicle license plates from all over the United States, and the evolution of their menus over the years. The food is amazing and you will receive a plate full of food at a really reasonable price. Our server was Kim and she was amazing. There is plenty of free parking.

Crazy Otto's Burgermeat Omelette

It kind of taste like the eggs were plastic lmaooooo idk how that's possible but meat inside the omelette was good

The take out we didn't finish

We had ordered take out from this location as we have done many times before. This time we found some steel wool in the biscuits and gravy, inside the gravy. It literally was swallowed and almost logged in my throat, I had to throw it up to get it out! We had informed the rest of the family to STOP eating as we were half way through the meal. I called the location to inform them of the issue and sent them video and photo evidence and they told me I was shit out of luck on a refund since we had already ate some of the food. We will NEVER order from them again. We order from and eat from their location at least 2-3 times a month. No compensation was offered besides a refund on the gravy. You got to be fkn kidding me. The Asian "owner" has no idea how to run a business. They admitted it was from their kitchen and they knew what the metal piece was and only offered to refund the gravy. What a joke. Avoid this place at all costs. Your life may depend on it. They do not care about their food and they don't care about their customer. I'll just do a charge back and get this over with.

Always a winner in my book. The history here and the people really make the place. This is Antelope Valley core. The portions are extreme but that isn't the absolute draw, the ingredients are fresh and made to order. They have decent gravy and that is hard to come by these days. Biscuits are always fluffy and light and not dry! I like how they do the omelette as they make the egg a very thin wrap around the ingredients. It's excellent food. I do wish they would turn the small train in that goes around the top, hat doesn't run anymore and I think that sucks!

Seated quickly. Very busy here. Small and Mighty. Smells delightful. History all around the walls. Love that. Drinks were brought promptly. I do think the bowls that hold the creamer need to be cleaned. Lots of crumbs in it. Sounds hungry! We dug right in! It's good! Really Good! Simply put, Go, Eat, Enjoy!

Very welcoming staff. They are all friendly. Thank you so much! That's made my day. Food is okay. Coffee is good. I ordered the Crazy Otto's special. It comes with ground beef, toast or biscuit or gravy & hash brown- it was okay. I don't finished it all. It was a large portion of 1 person. Fiancée ordered streak. Meat was well seasoned. Ambiance is great. They will ring the big bell when the train track pass along. I was shock. Because the bell Was above me and it was my first time visiting. On the weekend they will do this lucky charm number. Whatever it is, it's a cool game lol. You should try this place. I will be back and come try the chicken liver breakfast. Thank you again with the great experience. The only thing that off was they came & gave our bill immediately. We weren't even finish eating. Pictures below provided.

I've been to Crazy Otto's once before and idk why I don't come here more often. The quality of the food & portions speak for themselves. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good breakfast without trying to break the bank. Don't let the line fool you, they work quickly to get you served. All this came out to only $60! (Yes the same price or less than breakfast at Dennys) 10/10 pls support this small business!

We all enjoyed the visit and look forward to the next one.

You just gotta try this place. Its breakfasts are amazing and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

Definitely order the home fries over hash browns, they are well seasoned crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So delicious don't skip! The garden burger was also so delicious the patty is made of like oats and mushrooms and one more ingredient that I can't remember right now but it was superb! Definitely one of the best veggie burgers I have had! Top 5 for sure. Now the reason they didn't get 5 stars. The side of fruit that I ordered and two other plates on the table came with, wasn't fresh. It looked a day or a few days old. Only the melon was decent enough to eat. Next is more of a suggestion. I understand it's a diner but I feel like all restaurants/diners/cafes should have alternative milks such as oat, soy or almond milk. Because I asked for a cold brew but I had to drink it black due to the lack of alternative milks. Which was fine but I can't be the only person that has that suggestion. Overall Katz n' jammers cafe was a cute diner with 50s nostalgia on the walls and fair prices for good food!

The diner style interior is very well lite, clean but a bit smaller than I anticipated, they do have a good sized outdoor seating area and an ample parking lot in the back side of the building. The food, we ordered a Reuben Sandwich and a Cheeseburger. From what we had seen, the food looked great. The burger had lettuce, tomato,union, cheese, that oddly was not melted, a nice sauce, pickles and decent looking meat patty, unfortunately the last few bites of the meat patty had a funky taste, like it was a little old, hence the 3 star rating, the burger is also served with a decent amount of fries. The Reuben looked and tasted amazing, also served with a large portion of fries, one of the nice touches on this sandwich was the grilled Pastrami, this was a nice touch, its also served with sauerkraut & Swiss cheese on Rye. I do want to return to try the amazing looking breakfast options, they seem to have a huge variety of options. I also want to commend the wait stay, they were very nice and engaging, they came around multiple times to ensure that we had what we needed.

As you walk in you are blown away from all of the wall and internal decor within every inch of the building including a car booth and Bettyboop statue. They have a bar in the dining area and are very supportive of our troops, you see many signs throughout the establishment. The menu is very ample with many options, I tried the eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. The dish was well presented and more importantly had great flavor. I had the majority of the dish and even had some leftovers. The food was served hot and very quickly. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. I would say that the only thing that stopped me from giving Otto's a 5 star was the cost of the breakfast, it was like 27 bucks for two eggs, hashbrowns and bacon with a drink. This will not keep me from revisiting Ottos but just be aware of the cost. I would recommend a visit.
