    Early Dinner Visit - Worth the Stop! My SO has been talking about this place for a while, so we finally decided to drop by for an early dinner. Good thing we came early - despite online hours saying they close at 6 PM, they were actually closing at 5 PM. We arrived around 4-ish, and the place wasn't busy. Our server let us choose any table, which was a nice touch. Food: Lemon Chicken with Baked Potato and Side Salad Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and Side Salad The food came out promptly. I had requested a baked potato but received mashed instead - didn't make a fuss and just dug in. The portions were very generous; we ended up taking half of it home. The Lemon Chicken was flavorful and cooked well same with Meatloaf. The mashed potatoes could've used a bit more salt, but overall, the meal was delicious. We'll definitely be back to try more items from the menu. The inside has a cool vibe - there's even a car body turned into a dining table, which adds a fun touch. Plenty of parking, no issues there.

    Super cool inside. Cool car you can sit in! Clean. Clean restroom. Our waitress was fast and kind. Burrito was very good, but it got really greasy sharing a plate with hashbrowns. The pancake is huge and all gone cause it was delicious. The onion rings are bomb. Burger is loaded and huge, amazing flavor! Side of avocado is actually guacamole so watch out for that lol All in all great food, great big portions, great service.

    Country Fried Steak & Eggs

    The Place is Cozy, Unique, Classic,Historic so to speak The Staff Very Friendly,Professional, kind, Welcoming The Food Extremely Large Portion (Quantity) But unfortunately, I must be honest the Quality Wasn't Quite Their. I ordered The Country Fried Steak Platter alone with the biscuits. The Steak Had a Terrible Taste (VeryLowQuality) was Over cooked drenched in Gravy. To the naked eye it didn't appear Expired or going bad, it didn't even smell bad but once you put it into your mouth the taste was unpleasant. Me and my wife really wanted to Love this place. It was super hyped up by the media and friends but it was a hard pass for me and my wife, my wife was also unsatisfied with her dish. Like I said Before the Quantity is Their But Lacks Quality.

    The chili has a nice bite to it. I'm a big eater, but I had to get a to go boxes for this monster size meal.

    (The service) my friend and I came to a Birthday party we walked in and the employees looked at us and never asked us if we would like to be seated. We stood there for like 20 seconds. And walked out.

    I came to Crazy Otto's for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised with the service and yummy food. Both my husband and I really enjoyed our meals. We even had the pleasure of dining in the converted car! This place clearly has so many recognition awards for a reason. We will definitely be back soon.

    Wall art. Amazing.
    JC C.

    I like the wall art that they have, the license plates they have front different states. Food is really good and full of flavor. The server was very friendly and polite, took our order and when she came back she had our order just as we had ordered it. Not one thing was missing.

    "WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!" HOME OF COFFEE FOR VETS (https://coffee4vets.org/) Reads the big colorful mural and tribute to the best and bravest men and women who sacrifice the most/ALL to defend the United States of America, us, the world, the galaxy. A cool sign ahead: As I walked into amazing restaurant, I just happened to be wearing and gifting bracelets, stickers and signs that read "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" & "THANK YOU VETERANS!" (Meant to be!) I parked in the free lot and admired the tribute to American soldiers for a minute. I smiled at the many Certificates of Appreciation, plaques and awards given to Crazy Otto's in recognition for their contributions to their community, country, American Veterans and our Armed Forces. :)! I requested the best seat in the house for its spectacular view which also just happens to be a fifties-style car! I noticed American flags throughout the restaurant tucked away in unique places like the back of the kitchen near the chef who's facing it while he's cooking something special. Now I know my meal is going to be something special too! I've been to Crazy Otto's quite a few times and I always have a great meal. Stick with the classic American dishes if you want to get the best bargain because the portions are ENORMOUS. For example, you might want to try the half sandwich special for about ten bucks and it's a good sandwich. But if you get the big steak dinner at about seventeen bucks, you'll end up with three meals worth of food. And. You got a steak dinner! I ordered the petite prime rib dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy. The soup of the day is chicken noodle soup which made me smile as I ordered it. Take a moment to read about Coffee For Vets now. Now that you've read about what this restaurant is up to in the community, you and I get to give this place a hug, some acknowledgement and a little bit of appreciation for giving back to the people who give it ALL. For US. My chicken noodle soup is just delightful. Fresh carrots, aldente noodles and tender threads of white meat chicken with a hint of lemon. Six stars. Your friendly neighborhood yelper and grassroots anti-rasicm activist is covering the city with gifted American flags from our neighbors to each other in honor of our favorite things which the American flag truly represents. Did you know that you can distribute about a thousand flyers in a single day? Why not include an American flag button, an American flag and yellow ribbon bumper sticker so the whole world can see us showing our appreciation to what we care about! American flags flying along with so many yellow ribbons they can be seen from space! I'm not alone in this effort of making sure our Veterans and soldiers know that they are not alone.:) So I said to the workers at CRAZY OTTO'S: "My friends, neighbors and I are gifting these American flag gifts in honor of tolerance, our Troops, our soldiers and Veterans. This business does such a great job at supporting our Veterans! I just wanted to say thanks! I think it's so cool that you guys are so supportive!" Then I gave Crazy Otto's an American flag gift kit filled with patriotic things and ways to show our love for America, each other and our beloved Veterans. My petite prime rib dinner was a really big portion! The mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting. The gravy was on the sophisticated side with a hint of thyme. The eight ounce prime rib portion looked more like two pounds! The meat was tender and flavorful. The veggies were fresh and firm. I'm recovering from life-threatening anemia so red meat and green veggies really hits the spot! I loved my meal. The service is fantastic here. The guys who own this place clearly care about you and the best things you can care about in the world. I could not have bought my meal at a market for less. The high quality ingredients and epic portions are a sign of the good people who run Crazy Otto's. Struggling families, add a loaf of garlic bread to this and my meal would've fed the whole family! Senior and military discounts! There's a great African market across the street to buy something to go with your takeout food. Crazy Otto's sign and the market look beautiful together. The sky above me reads "USA FOR AFRICA". (My world peace dream.) Together, we can accomplish anything! United We Dance! DEAR CRAZY OTTO'S, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO TO SAY THANK YOU TO WHOM IT MATTERS MOST!! ONE MILLION STARS. (Thank you for your service!) **************************************************

I didn't like the ham, but everything else was delicious. Their cinnamon French toast is made in like a cinnamon roll which was really good! The banana French toast was also a hit!

The food options are many, from Mexican classics, Burgers, Sandwiches and many other options. The meals are all made to your liking without any pushback around extra costs. The food quality was very high, I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, they were very authentic with a tomato sauce and sauteed onions and peppers, not spicy but I did ask for their home salsa and it brought up the spice level, the dish is served with homemade rice and beans, all well cooked. I also ordered a side of pancakes and bacon for my dad and they were perfectly cooked. The cost of the meal was very reasonable and worth the visit. I have shared my experience with my friends and family in Lancaster.

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 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.
