    Always friendly. Always clean. The food... we ate it all!!! I got a double burger with cheese and fries. Aden got chicken strips and fries, had to steal a bite. And my bf got a burger also. I love coming here, there is always a good crowd and I know at least a few people that come in. So I get to say hey as well

    Nice bar, Terri the owner is very personable. The potential for this place is off the charts. So many ideas. Over time it will only get better and better and more to do. His wings were awsome. Truly awsome

    The best burger I have had in a long long time.. The craft beer selection is always changing. The band on Sunday is so much fun.

    We went for St Louis Burger Week. The burger was amazing. It was a smashed brisket burger with bacon and all the toppings. I had the homemade chips. They were wonderful too.

    Outstanding food, great selection of local beer, and even better service. Staff are always friendly and Terry the owner is a wonderful human being. Fish on the weekends is always good, especially the Sunday tacos. Weekly specials and their regular bar menu are all great too.

    Probably better not on a Friday night. But prices are high, which is OK, but they could include some bread with 2 lbs of fish. Ordered 2 orders of fries and 2 hush puppies. Side of BBQ, 3.00. Got home they forgot the tarter sauce. Waited for 35 minutes for cold fries and hushpuppies. Looking for a new Friday night fish stand now.

    Best fish anywhere! Have gone there for fish on Friday night or the weekend. Been going there since I was a kid!!

    We try to meet at least once a year for fish after an annual golf tournament. They've expanded the menu, with wings, pizza, even burgers and are expanding the bar since indoor seating is very limited.

  • 5/5 Tim H. 1 year ago on Google
    Otts Tavern has some of the best fried fish around! They have made improvements to the tavern in recent years, and continue to impress. During lent they also offer shrimp as well as fish, and their jalapeño hush puppies are AWESOME!

  • 5/5 Arlene T. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the fish from Otts. We always order Fish Plates when we go there. I sure wish they would get regular hush puppies. They only have Jalapeno Hush puppies.🥺☹️😡

    It was fine. Good bar food. I got a burger and fries , my wife got the chicken sandwich. Menu was a little wonky. Was told fish was good , but only available Fri. - Sun. Actually went to Milstadt for a lobster food truck at Millpond. The lines were way long , so we ended up at Ott's. Do love Milstadt @

    Otts is your stereotypical small town tavern/bar. Has decent food, decent service and a nice friendly atmosphere. If you do go on a Friday night, pack your patience as it's a popular place and service can get overwhelmed. The patio is wonderful as long as it isn't too hot out.

  • 5/5 Hiram G. 1 year ago on Google
    First time. Love this place. The wings are to die for and so are the hush puppies. Great place and great atmosphere. I will come back again!

  • 5/5 Ara R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, great food. The owner is super nice and cares about his staff and customers.

    Beautiful night for outdoor seating and Friday night fish fry! Good eats, great service, and cold drinks. We got two fish plate sandwiches, as well as the nightmare burger! Terry, the owner, sat with us and chatted for a bit. He is fun, outgoing, and all around good conversation!

    Met family there for fish. Hadn't been there in years. Fish wasn't as good as we remember. Sticker shock when we found out fish was $17.95 a pound! There were 10 of us there. Fish was $7.95 a pound the last time we visited. We live in Colorado and really looked forward to getting the fish we used to love. I know, inflation. Well, I don't think we will be visiting there anymore. It was a very pleasant visit with family, but very expensive.

    We used to go a lot when I was a kid. Hadn't been in quite a few years. Fish is not quite the same and the sauce is a little different, but everything was great. Had a good time sitting outdoors on a nice day. The menu has expanded a lot since last I had been there. Would recommend.

    Cat & Terry are so gracious & down-to-earth! Ott's is a must go-to every time I'm in Millstadt🎊🌟 Love my cool Stubborn German, too, on a warm, sunny afternoon on the patio along with my vege burger on rye!🍻

  • 5/5 Mary T. 2 years ago on Google
    Went on a Friday (Lent😊). Their fish is exceptional !! You can get it by the pound, as a plate with sides or as a sandwich. Price is comparable to any of the local fish fries, but the fish is better. Many places tend to overcook, but not OTT's...they cook it just right!

    They raised the price of a fish sandwich. It cost $8.00 now. I have been going to this fish stand since 1978. The quality of food has worsened in recent years. This afternoon they handed me a cold sandwich with 3 small pieces of fish. I took one bite, it was cold, then the second bite, it was cold and really salty. I took it back, they wanted to charge me a $1. for two bites of a foul tasting fish sandwich. Rude, stupid, lousy run business. Last summer I couldn't order food because the volume of noise coming from a musical bad. I AM DONE WITH THIS MESSED UP BUSINESS.
