I've been here for breakfast a few times. I have no idea why this place is so busy. It's way overpriced on every single meal and not any better than any other breakfast place. I find the food boring and small. The standard price here is $9.00 or higher. There may be 3 items cheaper than that and they're all small. Their "cheap" breakfast is $4 for 1 egg and hash browns. I find that unacceptable. I go to far too many places and I've never seen any restaurant that serves a 1 egg breakfast, especially for $4.00. You can go to Country Boys at 35 ave & Cactus for their standard $3 special with 2 eggs, hash browns, toast, and meat and you get multiple breakfast options for $3.00 at Country Boys. The cheapest other breakfast on this menu is $6.75-$7.50 for french toast and meat. Otherwise, you're paying $9+ for everything else. I've had the corned beef omelette, twice, boring, flavorless. Today I had 2 very small eggs, small portion of hash browns, and biscuits & gravy. The biscuits were large and homemade. Gravy flavorless. I just wouldn't recommend this restaurant. Pricey. No flavor. Small portions. I'm only giving it 2 stars because they do serve giant pancakes. Get their pancake breakfast and split it between 2 people. I feel my self aggravated after paying so much for a meal when I'm leaving still hungry. Go to Country Boys. If you don't get their $3 breakfast deals, you can print off buy 1 get 1 free coupons off their website. Anything you order on the regular menu is buy 1 get 1 free. If you've got 10 people in your group, you can use 5 coupons and get 5 breakfasts free. My favorite breakfast place, Ollies Omelette House. 51 Ave & Olive. Quality. Fair pricing. Great food. read more

Quick and tasty. Their pancakes are huge and yummy here. Coffee is so so and hashbrowns are only ok.

Crazy Otto's is a family tradition. The omelettes are good (order the half order - I beg of you!), the bacon is great and the pancakes are fabulous. We usually order one pancake for the table and it's more than enough. They are quick with the coffee pot which is a big plus. In addition, the staff are really nice. I once saw the owner be super nice to a little boy that was being berated loudly by his Mother...the boy was just being a kid and she kept yelling at him to sit still, be quiet, etc. David offered him some crayons and a coloring book while he waited which was very sweet. read more

Please go here for raw prime rib that u cannot eat and horrible customer service... oh yeah and a stomach ache and nausea all day

Portions are ridiculous, though the food sometimes lacks flavor. The lil' man got the kids pancake which had to be the size of a 16" pizza. He had leftovers for two days for. I ordered the hobo eggs which was also massive but didn't have any distinguishing ingredients or flavors that stood out. Decent breakfast stop, but nothing to seek out. read more

if I could give this place a negative number is would.. We wanted to try something different on our way out of town for a day ride with the family... Saw this on the map and thought we would give it a try... If I could turn back time and kept on driving, I could have saved us all a wasted day. When we arrived we were seated promptly... along with the 4 other families that came after us and were served and left before we even got our meal. We asked our waiter Carlos why others were being served before us and he said the orders are done as taken, we asked if the 2 families that had just arrived called in their order because they had there order and we did not. He rudely said "I just told you, there taken in order".. at that moment we should have left, however traveling with my 87 year old mother who had not had breakfast we opted to stay... of course as punishment our food came out cold .. not sure how you can mess up eggs hashbrowns and toast.. but let's just say we barely made it to Surprise, AZ and had to turn back as we all became sick to our stomachs. I would say the reason I would not recommend this place would be the greasy cold food.. but even with the horrible stomach cramps.. I would still have to say the service was even worse... read more

Overall, a less than stellar experience. Now I don't always expect everyone to be cheery and friendly, but I don't think one single employee in the restaurant smiled at me or my boyfriend. Not even when I smiled at them? Three different servers assisted us, none of them came back more than once. No one even came back and asked if our food was ok or if we needed anything else. A lady slapped our check down on the table and walked away. I had to go up to the counter to pay, before I was able to get someone's attention for a to go box (figured my roommates bf might eat the half of my meal I didn't want). I mean, if the food would have been delicious, it probably would have been worth it. However, I was unimpressed with the food as well. Needless to say, we won't be going back for breakfast anytime soon... read more

I have been coming to Otto's for years. It is close and convenient. I never had a problem and the servers have always been helpful and friendly. I recommend this small place to anyone. Yes, weekends can be very busy so expect a wait. If something is wrong with your food when they bring it out....don't be afraid to let them know. They are happy to fix any problem. It's similar to a "mom and pop" restaurant and the food is definitely Home Cooking!! Sheri H. read more

Fun atmosphere and always knows my order, steak, eggs(soft scrambled) . Thanks for awesome food

Came in for the advertised house specialty Prime Rib and Eggs. Turns out they didn't get their delivery of Prime Rib which could be understandable but they don't tell you that until you get $10 in drinks delivered. A little heads up would have been nice. I might have still eaten here and come back but I don't think I will be coming back. read more

Love it !! I'm from Iowa and that is as close to that Midwest comfort food as you can get !! Huge menu & HUGE portions. Very friendly & attentive staff !! Would recommend for breakfast or lunch !!! read more

Great diner breakfast HUGE portions good coffee. We will be back

Yummy! You have to have a serious appetite to finish a plate from here. The half omelette is bigger than any full I've seen. And someone at a table near by got the pancakes and they were huge! There was 4 of us that all ordered different things and everyone really enjoyed their meals. I ordered the Denver omelette and the ham inside was soooo good. Very juice and tender. Cute little place inside to. Diner feel for sure. read more

I've been to Crazy Otto's a few times now, most recently this past weekend. I was hungry and opted for the eggs, bacon and pancake combo. I got the fair warning of how huge the pancakes are and accepted the challenge. The order came out quickly (I imagine its a simple plate to make, especially as a single order). I cleared out my eggs and bacon (thick cut and delicious) quickly and made my way to the pancakes. Needless to say I only made it through half of the triple stack. They probably could served as a meal by themselves as they are larger than a full size dinner plate. Overall service was great, I'll be back! read more

The sausage omelet was hearty, with large chunks of what looked like link & patty sausage. I was told that my choice of side (biscuits and gravy) would be just one biscuit...as it was the last one! I thought that was kind of strange as it was only 10:30am. That was alright, as the Smokey flavor of the gravy was something that I did not enjoy at all. That and the biscuit was hard and bland. The hash browns were crispy on the outside, but not done all the way thru like I enjoy. The service was good, refills frequent and the staff was friendly. I had heard how wonderful this place was, the décor and seating is Plain Jane, with a lot of tables right next to each other. After reading some of the other reviews, I will be back to try the plate-size pancake, and the super fluffy done just right eggs. read more

Wait time for food is REALLY long. If you have no place to be, then this is the place for you. But God for bid you have plans. Forget about it. You will be late. read more

Good food, good service, good price. Great little place. I don't understand why so many places get breakfast so wrong but this is NOT one of them! Big menu, big portions, perfect place to power down right before a Saturday morning nap! read more

Did not like at all. Food was super greasy and sloppy. Hashbrowns were burnt. Will not be going back

Good food, decent service, gravy could have been more spicy, will go back to try a crazy Otto burger

Ok service but the food is not good. Horrible coffee, dried out ham, and the worst biscuits and gravy I've had in a long time

I guess 3 stars is about right. I grew up in Lancaster eating Otto's every weekend with my father for many years. While this place is similar, it's not the Otto's of Christmas past. Portions are smaller, I understand they need to make a buck, but it's still a $10 plate of breakfast food in which food cost is pretty low on potatoes and eggs. The chicken fried steak was ample, the food quality was decent. I was told at 9 am they already ran out of biscuits which was a let down. I noticed other reviews saying the same. The place isn't bad, but Ronnie's down the road does it as good if not better for less money. read more

The absolute best omletes in the valley. Kick butt atmosphere and the owners are the cutest sweetest guys in the world.

Good food in a nice diner atmosphere. Food came quick and was delicious once we got it. A little pricey, but you can get anything you'd expect from a diner. Good place for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

Good breakfast at a decent price. Staff was very friendly and on top of everything. Good portions and the omelets were HUGE read more

See all

If your main selection for breakfast is omelets, your cook should not send one out that is brown, omelets are tricky to get just right. The dogs liked it.....The gravy, for old fashion saw mill gravy you should be able to see the pepper. A little seasoning goes a long way. Nothing was seasoned......This is my second time here, I should not have given it a second chance, because the first time was not impressive. I really don't understand why it is so busy at breakfast. There are much better places, that are less expensive....habit for some I guess! read more

Terrible Food, delivered by a surly waiter on a dirty table. If you like the ambience of listening to someone use the toilet, or if you like cold food that comes from a can and is delivered to you by someone who hates their life, then it's the perfect place to go. Actually, my food was so bad that I took it home and was going to give it to my dogs but was afraid it would make them sick. I've tried this restaurant 3 times, over 8 years, and everytime it's the same. I keep hoping it will improve, as the location is easy, but it never fails to disappoint, and now, I'm not sure it isn't a health hazard as well. The "Line Cook" Needed sign in window, is an understatement at best and a joke at worst. This restaurant needs Restaurant Impossible, but I'm not sure that even Robert Irvine could help. read more

Good food, best environment. Weekends are busy but that's expected. Good food and friendly staff.

This was my first visit to Ottos and although I found the food to be good, the waiter was rude and obnoxious. My friend who had been to the restaurant several times before agreed the waiter had a bad attitude from the beginning. read more

Crazy Otto's is crazy good. I had a bacon and pepper jack cheese omlette (half order) and stupidly ordered the biscuits and gravy thinking it would be one bisuit with a bit of gravy. It was two huge biscuits smothered in gravy. The omlette was delicious and the bacon was really good (thick cut and meaty rather than fatty). The hash browns were good too. The biscuit was fluffy and wonderful as was the gravy. Looking forward to leftovers when I am hungr again, which won't be for a long, long time. read more

Drove by this place many times but never really stopped in until today. I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the breakfast sandwich which is on sour dough bread and it was very good. It came with hash browns which were excellent. It's a down to earth style diner and the atmosphere reminded me on Chicago. Great place I will definitely return. read more

As soon as we walked in we were greeted and asked for our dink request. Very nice and friendly service. It has an old fashion diner feel, very comfortable. Although the biscuit were a little dry, everything else was great. read more

This was my first time by this place and wow. The proportions are huge! Prepare yourself to eat because the size of the plate infront you you will have your eyes gleaming. Not only is the food delicious but the people are friendly and make a great bond. I can proudly say, I love this place and will become a regular! read more

Great greasy spoon, good customer service, good prices, giant portions

Probably wont be giving this place a second chance. Came in Thursday morning (4th of July) with my fiancé because we had heard many good things about it. The service was great. Coffee cups stayed full and the staff was very kind. And the prices were pretty cheap. The only disappointment was the food. We both got omelets and my fiancé ordered a side of biscuits and gravy. The omelets were thin. It was like an egg crepe with ham, onions and cheese stuffed in the middle. The biscuits weren't that great and the gravy was terrible. It had no flavor whatsoever. It's so unfortunate that their food was so bland because the service and prices are great. read more

It's a nice little place to stop in for a quick bite to eat. The French toast and bacon were really good however I didn't like their style of scrambled eggs. read more

Huge, delicious portions for a reasonable price. I was even able to stay on track with my eating plan. We will be back!

Food was great. However The servers appeared very unhappy. Service was satisfactory but certainly wasn't service with a smile. Also was waiting for the Crazy Otto train to have the chance for a free meal but no deal. Probably won't be back again. read more

BEST eggs Benedict I've ever had! Prices are a little high but it's a comfortable environment and friendly enough staff.

We were met at the door and offered a table...coffee right away and menus. Our order was taken quickly and the food came steaming hot. I really liked my breakfast. I'll be back, it was great. They've got this system down to a science. read more

My wife and I have had breakfast here for the last year. It has been pretty good until today. By the way I never ever complain. When I went to pay my bill in full + tip and informed the bald guy my food was burnt. He (not sure if the owner) said oh it was just brown not burnt and then tells me how I should have complained when I first got my food no matter how busy they are. Then tells me he is way to busy to deal with ANY complaints but he will remember next time. I have a small family owned shop and would fired anyone who treated my customer with such disrespect. I waited 5 more minutes for change so I could yip the waitress. read more
