Great food! Especially if you like food that tastes like home! Just your regular diner, nothing fancy.

Great service, exceptional portions! Wife had French toast , bacon etc., large portions of bacon, thick cut , French toast hmmmmmm! Eggs Benedict can be sketchy but this place was par excellence' , hollandaise perfect. Otto uses sliced ham instead of Canadian bacon, but what's CB but expensive ham! I enjoyed it just the same! read more

Really enjoyed this place had biscuits and gravy it was amazing with my breakfast however been back 3 times since at 9 a.m. and they're out of biscuits and gravy now I recommend calling ahead if they don't have biscuits and I recommend leaving and going down the road to Ronnies cafe at 43rd Avenue and cactus they never run out read more

Fantastic breakfast! My fave is their french toast :) Very filling meal, good portions and decently priced

The breakfast was overpriced, and the food arrived cold. The tablecloth smelled like it was wiped with a dirty rag. I'm not coming back, which is too bad because my friend recommended this place to me read more

This is a real "Ma and Pa" type of place. Breakfast is especially good here. There is a nice variety things on the menu. Choice is given for full or half orders of different dishes. No one should ever leave hungry! Prices are good. Ambience could use some improvement. Waitstaff is quick. Carryout orders are labeled and very well packed. The restaurant is with another business in a stand alone building. The building I s in the middle of a parking lot which is located on a very busy crossroads corner. While there are parking places close to the restaurant door, if the restaurant and the other business are both busy it is very possible that you may have to walk through plaza traffic in order to go from your parking place into the restaurant. One star was taken away to account for the food lacking flavor, the parking issue, and due to the lack of ambiance. read more

Didn't even get to try the food, the staff is rude and very unhelpful. My aunt called in trying to place an order and find out about the menu and was hung up on. They don't care about the customers, and don't take the time to help an elderly person. Would not recommend going to a place that treats people the way this place does. read more

First thing I have to say, is believe all the other reviews when they talk about the amount of food you will get here! The second thing I have to say is that everything is average. Crazy Otto's excels with service, as it is extremely quick, attentive, and efficient. We were able to have breakfast in under 30 minutes. That's a good thing for me. The food however is just average at above average prices. I got bacon, eggs, toast, and hashbrowns for my meal. I was served a massive platter of food that I knew I wouldn't finish. The bacon was okay, but unfortunately some parts of it were burnt. The eggs (scrambled) were actually really good! They were light and fluffy and very tasty. The hashbrowns were no good. I never get good hashbrowns unless I am at Matt's. I was pleasantly surprised that nothing felt very greasy. I probably won't go back because there about a million other places just like it and I would rather go somewhere new. read more

We met our son and daughter-in-law here for Sunday morning brunch, based on YELP recommendations. Looked like a tasty and fun place to go. The server was friendly, but the service itself was average. My half spinach mushroom omelette was really greasy. My husband ordered the full omelette which looked the same size of mine. We asked for tabasco and got wing BBQ sauce. And the place wasn't even that busy. Seemed they were not on their game. Likely won't be back and won't recommend to others. read more

This is my favorite restaurant for breakfast, fantastic service, great tasting food, huge portions. Can't be beat!! You have to try this restaurant , if you haven't already. My wife and I love it. read more

If there was an option for zero stars they would get zero stars. To start with the gentleman serving told us, Verbatim "we obviously got off from a bad start maybe you should choose a different restaurant to go to next time" I was absolutely appalled. I will never go back to crazy ottos, nor recommend it to anyone all thanks to one very unhappy man who serves there all the time . I feel bad that the owner gets a bad rap because of the people working there (unless it's the owner himself the Caucasian man with glasses who's always cranky, but I'm fairly sure that is not the owner. This gentleman serves us every time we've gone in and every time we feel that we are inconveniencing him for coming into his/the restaurant 'crazy ottos' I used to send people there for the large plates of food with great taste however the service has finally just done it for me. I've never heard of a restaurant that will not let you substitute bacon for sausage or vice versa even Denny's would do that. If you like to be treated friendly by a personable happy server do not go to crazy ottos. read more

The best corn beef hash in Phoenix

We went to Crazy Otto's for breakfast today based on a recommendation by complete strangers while waiting for our food the other day. From the outside, it says keep going, but the food was really good. I ordered the french toast with scrambled eggs and hash browns. The french toast was great! The eggs and the hashbrowns could have been cooked a little more for my liking. My boyfriend ordered the belgain waffles, eggs over easy and bacon. He said all of it was good. Even the side order or toast was fresh. The only bad part of the meal was the orange juice. It is a little pricey- $27 for two people for breakfast. I'd consider going back... read more

The food was okay the service was okay but the guy at the register bald guy was rude, Mostly burnt out career servers, that have been there for a ever. But its close to the house so we may be back, North phoenix really need a good breakfast place. read more

3-12-2016 WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!. 3 Tables seated after us were waited on first; They just walked past us and ignored us. We have lived in the neighborhood for over 30 years. We will never ever go back and will NOT recommend this place to any people. The one "gentleman" seems to have a problem with customer service. We have seen this before and poor customer service before "everyone has a bad day" this "gentleman" seem like everyday is bad for customer service read more

went here to meet a client in business. when the waiter asked for my order, he did not say "Hello" nor did he give eye contact. I ordered a Starbucks Frappacino thinking I'd get something similar that they serve at Starbucks...but they came back with a little bottle thing that you get at the convenience store and a cup. I said 'no I don't want that'. I expressed that I decided I didnt want anything. My colleage did order and we continued the meeting. When they brought the order, the waiter reached over me as if I was not there. I complained and tried to tell the owner who said he did not care to hear my concerns. My colleage and I were appalled and left. We are both in the music business. He is caucasian and I am black. The owners are middle eastern or something. Maybe the discrimination was racial or maybe that they think women should not speak. I don't know. I just know why that place is small. the customer service is terrible. read more

Very friendly employees, awesome food, and the portions are insanely huge. Definitely a place to go when nearby..

Waiter was short with me and unfriendly. Food was cold and under cooked. A to go box and my stove made the food edible. First and last time dining there! read more

Absolutely horrible service. It took them 40 minutes to take our order. Then, apparently grey steak and black french toast means I'm cheap because they don't know how to cook. I wanted to pay for the chicken sandwich and even the french toast because I ate around it, but the guy said he would comp it anyway, and proceeded to call us "young guys cheap". No sweetie, you just need to learn how to cook food. And I really hope you were the owner because if the owner is gonna treat customers like that, you should get shut down. And if you're not the owner you need to lose your job. Absolutely appalling. I work 13 hour days to make money to feed my family. I don't want to waste it on a half a meal and a steak that wasn't eaten or even touched. It's not my problem your products are bad and you need to give your customers better service and offer a way to make the experience better, not prevent them from ever coming back. This is the first time I've ever complained about food and I get called cheap and get my head bitten off for simply telling you about my experience. Never coming back here. read more

Overall the bald headed server was extremely rude and just not a very pleasant person! I've had better food in a hospital. I have been to the original Crazy Autos in Lancaster, CA. And that place has excellent food. The one here in AZ should change it name!!! read more

For me, there is way too much food & I usually order off the kids menu. lol. For my hubby, the size is perfect. They are constantly scanning the tables to see if anyone needs anything no matter where you are seated. They even have our drinks on the table when we sit down - we don't have to say a thing! I'm sooo glad to find a diner that has REAL home cooked food - not frozen overpriced chicken fingers! read more

I have visited Crazy Otto's Diner a couple of times and each time the service has been excellent. The diner itself reminds me of an old classic style diner. The food has always been great tasting and plentiful. The diner is clean and bright. I would recommend a visit to anyone, you wont be disappointed. read more

This place has HUGE portions! And delicious food! Best diner I have ever been to!! The waiter was a bald guy who was extremely friendly and fast! My food was out in 5 minutes! And the prices are extremely fair! I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone!! read more

First off I used to live by the Crazy Ottos in Acton CA and the food and service was always amazing. Today I was excited to try crazy ottos in Phoenix as I had business in Phoenix. Right from the start the waiter was an A$$hole!! He came to my table and said what are you having? I said I would like the corned beef hash & eggs over easy. He said what type of toast? I said I would like biscuits & gravy. He said we don't have biscuit & gravy. I said really isn't this the same crazy ottos as CA? He said it's kinda of like it and that the were out of biscuits & gravy. I said okay i will have sour dough and I'm also having a water. 5 minutes later the bus lady comes to my table with and omelet. I say sorry not what I ordered. My order came out about 5 min later. Portions were small compared to CA but it was good! I go to pay the Ahole waiter and ask what is the $2.10 charge. He says for your drink. I say really for water! He said oh I didn't know and fixed it but with an attitude. I can't believe I left this Ahole a tip I shouldn't have. I won't we back until he is fired!!!!! read more

Have been going to crazy ottos for years. We had all our family get together s there when we lived closer. They were always very courteous even when we came in after the 12:00 mass with a group of people. We were never turned away. We pretty much stopped using this place as a family meeting place when we moved to a different part of the city. After not being there for quite a while we stopped one day when we were in the area, an much to our surprise, the waiter said he missed our family visits and ask how everyone was doing. We were treated like family. I forgot to mention the food or the memories it made when a grandson ordered three pan cakes with eggs and hash browns, I still Remember the look on his face or when our granddaughter ordered the hobo breakfast. Everyone at the table helped her eat it. My personal favorite is the half chicken liver omelet. Don't turn up your nose it's great I also love the gravy( I think it's made with ham or bacon drippings) mighty tasty. It's my wife's 73 birthday on Monday and she requested to go to Crazy Ottos for brunch. We will show up with 15 to 20 people and they will accommodate us as they always have. For my personal taste I prefer them to the place, they serve bisquits that taste like. Bisquit made with baking soda not yeast. read more

first time we went in the food was great .... the 2nd time a few weeks later ... they remembered us and what we had ordered....

I didn't like it. I had ordered a sausage and cheese omlette and the egg's we're over cooked on the outside andsoggy inside. The Sausage had tasted like it had been cooked a few day's ago and then just put in the microwave. The hash brown's were mediocre (ok they we're bad) and my soda didn't taste right either (the mixture was off). 12 dollars for that plus a tip???...NO THANK YOU! I had been wanting to try Crazy Otto's for quite a while and this was my first time there...I was pretty let down. On top of that the guy who had served me (I believe it was crazy Otto himself) started delving into my personal life and was asking me question's that I was not comfortable with him asking. He's definately crazy and the food is definately no good The license plate by the register say's "NO SNIVELING"...so, in otherwords...enjoy your crappy meal...and enjoy paying for it out the ass too. I went back to get the tip that I had left because I did not like him having played with my head and it didn't set in what he had done to me until I had gotten home (I should of never of left it in the first place but I was kind of in shock about it all). He gave me my tip back but had also given me a really hard time about it ( no apology either ). He had told me that I could never come back after my complaint about the service. I would of asked for a full refund but after the way I had been treated there I was not thinking straight. read more
