No one was there except us....the entire night.....weird compared to back in the day. The deck was a little overgrown and we didn't see any ducks. The paddle wheel is now on land and not in the water, but hey, I am sure I don't look the same as I did 20 years ago either. Once we got inside, It was just like old times. Quaint. The service from Barbara could not have been more personable and attentive. We truly enjoyed her! She mixed a wicked Brandy old fashioned and was quick, but not too quick with her service. The food was all excellent from the relish trays, to the beer cheese pretzel ball and mozzarella sticks. Our dinners ranged from prime ribs...fantastic by the wAy, to meatloaf, butt steak, a burger and ribeye. All were cooked wonderfully. Excellent flavor, fresh salads and nicely prepared potatoes. They prepared a homemade birthday cake. Our entire experience tonight could not have been better in any way. Although it has been 20 years since we were last with you, it will be soon that we return. Don't miss this diamond in the rough!!!

They have nearly any drink you desire and lots of beer choices. The inside is cozy and comfortable. What's really cool is their outside patio area. It's a heated and covered tent like area. In the back patio, there's a bunch of seating to accommodate the masses. They do have bands on occasion. There was a bonfire lit up last night and it is a cool place. They do allow dogs in the back outside seating area and are usually busy. Additionally, they do have a handful of the video gaming machines if you like to gamble. Ortmanns is a place to hang out, relax and to just have fun. We go there quite often.

On St. Paddy's day they opened early to accommodate the morning crowd and I was so relived to have an indoor viewing spot since it was chilly.

Serves and bartenders were so helpful and on point with the large crowd. 10/10 for the food, the vibes, and the fast and friendly service. Definitely a place you feel comfortable hanging out.
