I was a good sandwich, but it's a tuna melt or burger or come for breakfast. They have great omelettes. Service was good and I love that. It does look a little bit like a license plate poster collection that food is fairly good.

Pancake, prime rib and eggs, Scotty's omelette, Chicken Salad Sandwich, onion rings.

Service was fantastic. Food was good... some great.. some meh! Best things... Scotty's omelette, onion rings, ranch dressing, gravy for (biscuits and gravy), sourdough toast, and prime rib. The meh was... biscuit (not cooked enough, and batter not well mixed.. tasted chemically), pancake (very plain), chips (very plain.. no salt.. no seasoning at all), chicken salad sandwich (very plain).. waitress warned me.. should have listened. Coffee and iced tea were fine. Just to mention.. the service is spot on.. very attentive. The gravy and onion rings and ranch were phenomenal. I would only go back if in the area. We drove 45 minutes.. since it was highly recommended.

Crazy Otto's Burgermeat Omelette

I am working through a list of all diners in LA County so drove up to Crazy Otto's from West LA this past weekend and overall had a good experience. It's located far north in Santa Clarita and is 1 of 3 diners in the area that I have on my list. I know that they are known for giant portion sizes and can confirm this is definitely true. Service was very friendly and everything that we ordered came out pretty fast. It's also quite large on the inside so they have a lot of seating options but no outdoor seating. It's inside a small shopping center so there is a giant free parking lot right out front so parking was very easy. As mentioned the portion sizes here are gigantic! It's a little bit more expensive because of that so just know that you're going to pay a little more but also get a ton of food. They are known for their large omelettes so I knew I had to try one. I ordered the most popular omelette, which is the Crazy Otto's Burgermeat and added avocado to it. However when my food came out it was an omelette but filled with just guacamole. No cheese, protein, or anything else. I told my waitress and she said the kitchen made a mistake so they remade it for me and the second, real, version was absolutely delicious. The green chilies inside really added to the flavor and I would happily order it again. The giant omelette with the giant side of hashbrowns was too much for me to finish so this is the sort of place that you will never leave hungry. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area and if I am ever back up in Santa Clarita, I will certainly give this place another try.

Corned Beef Hash

It's was a busy morning at Crazy Otto's Diner. There must have been a school event nearby because the place was packed with families, each featuring at least one cleaned up and fancy dressed child. The waitresses seemed stressed. Nary a greeting nor even a reply when a greeting or kind word was offered to them. We got a table and menus and drinks and ordered breakfast, but they were acting like automatons. Not very welcoming. Our breakfasts were big but completely unseasoned and just okay. Okay, as in just acceptable. The corned beef hash was hash browns with a side of griddled corned beef. Only if you add the words up in a certain way did it become corned beef hash. Biscuits were gummy; the top and bottom tasted good but the middle was unpleasant to eat. The kitchen was quick, though. As the families started to leave the waitresses seemed a bit more relaxed and acted in a normal manner. The stage had been set, however. And then the surprise: a credit card fee even though we paid in cash. Hmmmm. Not a problem... the gratuity got adjusted accordingly. This is a situation where a greedy business owner is putting their employees in a difficult situation, not to mention how it puts customers in an uncomfortable situation too. It must suck to be them. With a full belly, this is definitely a "once and done" kind of place

Had breakfast here last week Friday morning - this is farther than where I'd go for breakfast but we had to go to the area for an errand so why not start the day right. The place is located in a shopping strip mall area so there's a lot of parking. When we went in it felt like I was transported to old America. Kind of diner you'll probably see in old small towns. We sat in a booth and we were given the menus with a lot of choices. I ordered country fried steak with the biscuit and gravy on the side. Hubs ordered spinach omelet. We had coffee for drinks and that gets refilled. We were confused at first because the server giving out the drinks and menus can't take the order - had to wait for another server. Food was served in considerable amount of time - my county fried steak wasn't the best but the serving size was huge, eggs are cooked well over easy on top of the hash browns. Biscuit was soft and warm - gravy was good. Good value for breakfast - big portions. Definitely worth a try when you're in the area.

We always love Crazy Otto's! They are open nice and early. What keeps us coming is the staff and the delicious food. It makes me feel like I'm back home on the East Coast. Everyone is super friendly and the music is always great. It creates a great atmosphere of being in your hometown. Every time we have visited, it's always the same wonderful ambiance. Abba was playing last time! We had the Steak and Eggs, Country-Fried Steak, a flapjack with a side of their Biscuits and Gravy which was just like my father's. I literally shed a tear after my first bite because I haven't tasted that EXACT flavor in over 30 years. The buttermilk biscuits were flaky crusted yet the inside was soft and fluffy. I can't explain how good it tasted because I ended up having a flashback of my father in the kitchen making his delicious gravy. Complete comfort food. Crazy Otto's is a great place to bring the family and enjoy some good family time. It's the ambiance of the restaurant, food and most importantly, the staff that made the entire experience was wonderful.

Turkey Melt Sandwich with chips

Very good sandwich melted perfectly chips were made delicious and everything was good I would definitely go here again.

Country Fried Steak and Eggs

Been to most of their locations, but not this one yet. Food was big, but not as hot as expected, but our orders did come out very fast. Waitress was very friendly. The flavors were what I'm used to from the other locations, so that is always good. Looks like prices have gone up a bit since I was last there, but that is to be expected. Glad to see that Crazy Otto's is still around, pumping out large food..

The chili cheese omelette used to be huge. The half order used to be enough. Now the full order isn't even enough. Too bad.

Some places don't just serve dinner, they create evenings you remember…read more The Old Town Junction has that kind of atmosphere. Warm, inviting, and effortlessly charming. From the moment we sat down, the staff was attentive without hovering, quick to accommodate, and genuinely welcoming. The food is top notch, beautifully prepared and absolutely worth treating yourself. If you've got a little extra to spend on a date or a good friend, this is the place to do it. A special thank you to Danielle, our waitress, who was kind, courteous, and never rushed us. She even allowed us to linger a bit after hours to enjoy our final lemon drop, making the night feel unhurried and personal. Great food, great service, and an experience worth repeating. Highly recommend. El Yepista - Gabriel

Lovely spot for drinks and dinner in Santa Clarita…read more I was in the area running errands and decided to grab dinner nearby on a Thusday evening around 6:30 pm. I found this place on Yelp and dropped by for dinner. My party of 2 was seated immediately. Personally I thought the menus were hard to read. The gray lines in the background were quite dark and clashed with the actual menu items. My suggestion to the restaurant would be to reprint the menus with lighter background. They have an extensive cocktail menu with a lot of gin-based drinks. They also have good selection of wine and NA drinks as well, including some mocktails. I got the I'm Driving mocktail ($13), which I really liked. It had good passion fruit flavor without being too sour. Felt like a really nice tropical juice. My friend really liked his drink Bramblin' Man ($17), which had strong notes of bourbon and blackberry. I wasn't super hungry, but the braised short rib looked amazing so I got that for $43. It was very tender, but I personally found it bland especially on the inside. I asked for additional sauce so I could drench each bite in the sauce. My favorite part of the plate was surprisingly the potato croquette, which was perfectly crispy and well flavored. My friend got the chicken club ($23), which he enjoyed. I stole a bunch of his seasoned fries since they were so good. I would've loved to get dessert but was too stuffed. Next time!

My matron of honor and I had the raspberry mojitos while my fiancé and her husband didn't drink because well, they aren't much drinkers and they were driving, haha! I had the chicken, my fiancé had the apple pork or something? I can't remember the exact names because the night went in a blur. We were there for over two hours. Then my matron of honor had the fish and chips and her husband the burger with fries. They loved their food too. Everything was delicious and our server was very sweet and attentive.

The food was well prepared overall. The highlight was the French Dip -- my husband found it all quite delicious. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Short Rib Ragu. My Pesto Pasta with Shrimp was very good -- I would have preferred a harder sear on the shrimp. Tammy was our wonderful server who took great care of us. Their Brunch Menu looks really good -- we may try that for our next visit!

Delicious food. A little bit out-of-the-way but certainly worth it. The ribs reminded me of the old…read moretrader Vic's restaurant at the Beverly Hilton. We will likely return. It's a very rustic environment. They apparently have an RV campground on premises as well. That being said, we were waiting for over half an hour before we actually were able to place an order.

So cute. Great find tucked away off the 14 near Agua Dulce Canyon…read more Indoor outdoor seating. Yes it's an RV park and a cool one! For kids: they had a bouncy jumper for Easter. They have swings and a small gymnasium. There's space for the kiddos to ride bikes. No grass though and didn't see any dogs. Ambience: At night they have lighting across the parking lot and outdoors super cute. Indoor is bright and casual bar feel. Service: slow but good and expected. They need more laborers. Food: Mac n cheese are shells and thick and the cheese is a white creamy cheese but it was served cold. Probably great when hot. Cornbread is fantastic if you like very dense dulce de leche kind of moist cornbread that's cake like. Really great with the cowboy beans and spicy sausage. Spicy sausage is juice and spicy. A little thin though. Garlic butter wings are good but I asked for them to be fried well done and they were not. Cowboy beans are a little tart with the vinegar but good and hearty. Draft beers are good. Lucky Luke blonde was solid. Good for large groups. If sit outside be ready for mosquitos, wind blowing, they have portable heaters if needed. Very cute spot and food was flavorful just cold. I'll be back.
