Had an amazing Otie’s Fried Bologna today! Added dill pickles, which I highly recommend and they were perfect!Delicious hand cut fries were amazing as well, very crispy! What a great environment! My buddy and I were the only ones there, no idea why, maybe busier in evening. We had lunch! I would like to see more down home food on the menu, like it used to be years ago. Today was great though.

Not a huge menu, but I wanted to try six or more items on it! I was able to narrow it down to three and the waitress told me I really should try the Cuban sandwich. It was a good sandwich, but I think a more substantial pickle was in order, and perhaps a more robust mustard. Everything else was spot on it was pressed the pork was good, the ham was good, it just needed a bit of a punch. I did really like the fries that came out on the plate. But take a look at the picture I post, they were all like little fried nuggets! Not gonna complain was able to finish them with a drizzle with the sauce and eat them with a fork! I would like to get a chance to get back and try the Reuben sometime in a couple of the appetizers and sounded especially good a very solid choice for lunch or an easy dinner.

It was nice to be able to eat on the patio, but that was the only nice part about our experience. We had a party of 6 come in at 515 thinking that would be plenty of time to eat before we went to t 7pm show across the street.
It was slow when we first got there, so no issues getting seated. I’m not exaggerating about the times here. 10 minutes for a server to great us, 20 minutes to get drinks, all 6 of us put in orders, only 3 of us got food. Waitress never comes back, we need drinks and the rest of our food, so we went to the bar where she was and said we still need our food and we would like some more drinks, she said I will do my best to get back over there. 30 minutes go by since half our food was dropped off and she comes back and say what would you like to drink, my buddy says are we getting the rest of our food, it’s now 630, the other 3 of us are done eating, and she says they never made it, do you still want it? We told her never mind, get us our bill for the drinks.
Food we did get, my wife said her bologna sandwich was good, friend said the smash burger was good, but my wings were pathetic, don’t get the wings, I will show on the pic they are smaller then my buddy’s lighter, and so dry, not sure how they can charge that much for these.
Very poor service which is sad because they have a great patio area.

This used to be such an awesome place to go to with our family. The food was great and friendly service and the patio out back is so relaxing with pretty flowers and a nice trickle sound from the fountain. It has changed. Tonight the gyro meat was not fresh. It was also completely over cooked. Along with that all the normal flowers out back were dead and just not the same level of care as before. We also got the green beans appetizer which used to be fresh but now the beans seem like they are frozen or out of a can not fresh at all.

So sad to see this place fall to this level.

Guys I only leave reviews when they are deserved so please know that I am serious. The food is chefs kiss the kids had an absolute blast playing, they ate their food quickly and went right back to playing. It’s a nice time. It was the first time in five long years that we didn’t feel rushed out of a restaurant because we were on a ticking time bomb before our kids couldn’t sit still anymore. The owner is SO nice. She checked on us a couple of times and even invited the kids to play longer so we could enjoy live music. You can tell that someone who cares is running this place, and she’s doing amazing!

Hosted my husband’s 40th birthday party in the upstairs event area. From the moment I booked Witt Oties to the actual event it self the owners and staff were incredible! Everyone loved the space and the food! I would give our experience more than 5 stars if I could! Thanks so much!

Honestly its hard to imagine a worse bar. TVs have been half blacked out for years. It’s clear management doesn’t care about the place. I understand it may be getting sold, that can’t happen soon enough.

Update 2026:
They have remodeled and it looks much nicer inside. They actually have TVs that work!!! They painted it, they’ve updated the menu – it’s fine. I’m vegetarian so pretty limited on options for me but basic bar food. It’s “mid” as the kids say.

The drinks are below average taste/quality wise, but oddly cost a bit more than average

There are a few staff members that are great, have good personalities and are engaging but sadly most of them act like they would rather be anywhere else. I get it, work can suck but in this business you have to at least learn to fake it a little bit.

Overall it’s a massive improvement from worst bar in Hilliard (imo) to slightly below average is something. I understand ownership has not changed so that’s probably holding this place back

Under new management and this place is hopping. The staff is great. The entertainment is great. We loved the hot pretzels , fried pickles and cheeseburgers . We can’t wait to go back and try more food and check out the entertainment each week.

We were greeted immediately upon walking in the door and asked to sit anywhere we liked. We had the whole area to ourselves as everyone else was choosing to sit outdoors. It took several minutes for the waitress to come over but after that she was very efficient. The decor was mainly historical photos mixed with some sports paraphernalia. The outdoor patio was absolutely beautiful. Our food arrived quickly and it was just as amazing as the waitress said it would be. I had the pub burger and fries. A nice burger with mozzarella, provolone and cheddar cheeses and bacon and a fried egg topped with lettuce, tomato and onion. My partner had their signature sandwich of fried bologna. Thick sliced bologna with pepper jack cheese, pickles and onions. The fries were a thicker natural cut, fried to a crispy doneness and topped with coarse salt. Best fries that I’ve had in awhile. If we go back to Hilliard anytime, we’ll be stopping in again.
