Ott's Downtown Pub & Grille

I've only been here twice, but it was two days in a row. I'm not from the area, I'm from Boston and I was visiting a friend. In my two visits I had the mozzarella sticks and potato skins appetizers, a meatball sandwich, and a pizza cheesesteak. I liked all the food, and I loved the 32 oz, $4 mugs of Yuengling. They don't do stuff like that in Boston. You can barely even get a regular beer at a bar for $4. If I lived in Mt. Holly I'd go there all the time just for that.

The only downside was that I found the waitstaff to be quite inattentive. The first day we went the waitress asked if we needed more time with the menus and we said yes. She literally waited at least 10 minutes to come back. The next day I had finished my mug of beer and was still thirsty and our waiter just kept passing by our table doing other things without asking if I wanted another. The empty mug is huge, it's impossible to miss. Maybe I'm just an impatient New England resident, but the service definitely left something to be desired. A little sense of urgency would make it a 5-star establishment in my book.

Tried Otts for a quick bite after a meeting.  The tuna over spinach salad (recommended by the server)  was excellent.  The raspberry beer was refreshing on a summer night.  My only complaint was smoking.  Really - I thought the days of eating with smoke were over.  Although the food was good, we will think twice about dining on the outdoor smoking patio.

If anyone actually reads these posts, I hope Ott's takes this to heart.  Your Medford location is great and I'm sure My Holly could top them but go out and get a permit and put a door on the Main Street.  I will not park in that lot and walk down that dark alley/street to come in the side door.  I do not feel safe.  Sorry but I'll take the drive and stick with Medford.
