    House salad
    Paul K.

    Two children, three adults. Two adults have special food requirements, and the children are well children. Holt's was able to accommodate all of our special food requirements. I had their steak sandwich and a side salad. I enjoyed the meal. My little granddaughter ordered pizza, and from the looks of it, she enjoyed it. My son had tofu something, and his wife had a huge salad. And I believe my grandson had chicken tenders. Holt's has both inside and outside dining. Believe it or not, the temperature in Chicago was about what winter is like in Naples, FL. So we dined inside. On a funny side note, my grandson was looking over the appetizers and spotted one priced at $26.00. He made a statement that the most expensive appetizer he had ever seen. In fairness to the establishment, it had scallops, shrimp, and one other item I don't recall.

    Lively place in the heart of downtown Park Ridge! It was expensive for what it was, but the food was tasty. We had decent service and the place played loud music. They had cute decorations for Christmas, lots of TVs to watch games, and different types of seating including booths. The hot honey pizza was amazing but relatively expensive- a large fed 4 people with other appetizers. The cheese curds were delicious. Overall, would recommend a stop if you're in the area!

    Curds
    Ethan E.

    An unlikely mealtime hero. I was with a couple friends in the area and we felt the call of hunger. We just so happened to come across this fine little joint in our endeavors, and it was the just the kind of place we were looking for. Even though it was early evening/ late afternoon, there was already some groups hanging out and enjoying the grub, so we knew we were in for something great. Our server was very friendly and welcoming (I can't remember his name, but he was amazing). It really felt like a place I would to actually hang at, and not just to get a bite. I order a root per usual, and I really really love that its served in a chilled mug. It those extra touches that really make it all worth it. I tried the curds as a starter, and they were certainly interesting to take it. The beer battered take on a classic was most certainly a unique approach. They were phenomenal though. The batter flavor made them a little more savory then the average curd. A risk worth taking, that's for sure! The marina and ranch pairings were also a hit. So many wonderful flavors. Now for the pie! This was my first time getting a taste of a "New Haven Style" pizza. I went with my usual boring but ever-faithful plain cheese. The cook of the homemade crust was well executed and had great taste. It wasn't crazy greasy either, and it filled me up pretty quickly. Absolute banger of a za'. An epic experience all around, will be back!

    Beet salad
    Josie W.

    One of our favorite spots in Park Ridge. The best American pizza hands down. We had the Italian Beef pizza always with a side of ranch and it was delicious. Not greasy, crispy and truly the best. The salads are great as well. We had the beet salad and we have had the chopped salad and both delicious. Service is always fast. Lots of TVs to watch sports. The ambiance is the best. Such a good spot!

    Have not been to Holt's for a while, because we've been cooking at home and going to places that we can count on consistency. Service is fine. I think the experienced people of yesterday year, meaning pre-Covid, have all moved on. I want to say that experience, especially with today's higher prices, is really what's needed, and most establishments such as. Holt's is lacking. As far as ambience, it's always been fairly loud inside. Which can be fun, but also it's hard to have a private conversation.

    Holt's is a okay restaurant/bar. I came strictly for their cheese pizza since they claim they are New Haven style pizza! I had to come check it out. pizza was kinda okay nothing special at all sauce was kinda weak. I wouldn't call that New Haven style. I've been to CT and had pizza. Holts crust and dough falls very short compared to New Haven plus you need the right oven which they don't have. Peace in the city is more closer to CT pizza. Holt's service was really nonexistent. It took forever for a thin crust cheese pizza to come out!(40min) They have bunch of high school kids running around the restaurant running it. I wouldn't go out of my way or wait for a table more than five-ten minutes to sit down at Holt's.

    We came here for dinner to celebrate my father-in-laws birthday over the weekend. There was ample parking available when we arrived but I imagine it can get very busy here during peak times. The inside was spacious and since we had a reservation, we were seated right away. The menu keeps it straightforward with apps, salads, and pizzas. I like that they offer a build your own option for the people that want to customize it. We ended up ordering the burrata basil and the hot honey pizza sans meat and our group enjoyed them. The crust was very tasty and I especially liked the fresh tomatoes they topped the basil pizza with. Def would like come back and try a build your own pizza.

    Side salad with the Salmon BLT
    Oliver Y.

    Visited here 09/19/2024 - Thursday Night Football. Restaurant was busy with everyone grabbing happy hour, vibe was good, weather was perfect for the sliding doors to be opened and nice breeze coming in. Drinks: Some lime beer, it was different, it matched the refreshing breeze that was circulating the restaurant. Something different. Started out with the Meatball app, that was yummies! Remember to save the sauce for dipping later. Also went with Calamari+Shrimp+Chips app, thats a meal on its own! Everything was lightly fried, the Texas Pete hot sauce packets was a nice touch, the dipping sauce which may have been some tomato something that was good too! For mains, went with Salmon BLT sandwich and Kale+Bussels Sprout. Salmon was good, cant go wrong with anything that has BLT in it's name! The salad was really refreshing. Server Jessica, she was amazing, Drinks were never half empty, great recommendations on food, matched the vibe of the atmosphere!

    Over serve fries
    Lauren Z.

    Fry over load, I repeat, fry OVERLOAD. The service was excellent as our server, Gracie made sure to check on us throughout our time there. Super sweet, super attentive. It was PACKED on a Saturday evening after 5pm. Friendly staff. Swanky atmosphere and clean establishment. A few gripes. WAY too many fries. Didn't have many side options for the burrata and the burger we got also came with fries. Too much!Also..extremely expensive! We ordered calamari appetizer that ALSO came with fries. We also ordered the avocado & burrata bread and the house burger. Both were excellent and probably the BEST burrata I've had in quite sometime. The burger was buttery and melted in your mouth. Overall? Great food great service just a tad too much on the chips and the bill.

    "Pepper and Egg Sandwich", only this place doesn't know that that's all that goes into one of these.

    I ordered a pepper and egg sandwich. Apparently they don't know the difference between peppers and onions. No indication on their online ordering that their pepper and egg sandwich includes onions. How you screw up this sandwich is beyond me. The ingredients of the sandwich, all of them, are listed in the sandwich's name. For the convenience of the restaurant, I'll list the ingredients below. 1. Bread 2. Egg 3. Green peppers 4. Nothing else. See 1-3.

    Side salad

    Stumbled into this place for lunch as I was in the area and waiting for a train. Sat at the bar. The staff was friendly. Seemed they were a little understaffed especially during a lunch rush but service was still good. Was greeted right away and got my food in under 10min. I ordered the chicken sandwich. It was huge and so delicious. Would definitely recommend. I got the side salad instead of the fries. That was just okay. The place was nice. Very chill and casual place... at least for lunch.

We talked long with the bartender and a young man that worked there. Order a few drinks and talked with these two guys for fifteen minutes or so off and on before we even ordered anything. Just felt right, small conversation great atmosphere. We each ordered the three taco plate. I had one fish taco, one elote taco and one Arrachera taco. My wife hard three pork belly tacos. Hard to say which was out favorite because they were all equally as delicious and bursting with flavor from the fresh ingredients.

I also got to try their seasonal blood orange margarita, which was also delicious! We had the flautas appetizer and for my entree, I ordered the chorizo taco and the pork belly taco. I didn't even make it to the pork belly taco because I was full off the flauta and chorizo taco lol. The hot sauces that they bring to your table in the squirt bottles were bomb dot com!! Spicy enough for some "flava" but not burn your bottle hole spicy. Overall, I highly recommend this establishment for the vibes (I requested they play Bad Bunny and they obliged- zero questions asked and no pushback) and the food! If you're ever having group get together or small party, this place would be great! They also have brunch on the weekends which I will bring some moms back for, for some "Momosa" Dates! Americanos- you may as well give me a special discount code or something, at this point.. you'll never get rid of me!

That said, there are so many options, particularly for this vegetarian and egg hater. Pro tip: Make a reservation! The place had a solid wait from the time we arrived until we left. Service was ok, spotty at bits, but I also attribute it to the place being busy. We had to ask a second time for some missing items. To eat, I got the berry crepes and a side of hash browns with cheese. My friend got the eggs Benedict with a side of pancakes. The crepes were very good, but I preferred the bites without the berry mascarpone filling. The side of pancakes my friend got was huge, this would be plenty as a main. They are very good at accommodating larger parties, but do wait to seat you until your party is all there.
