Nice little diner but not as big/fulfilling plates for the price.
The food was great. We loved our waitress. Sally was wonderful.
My father and I spend much if our afternoons here. Counter seating mostly, booths and plenty of tables. They offer a medium sized banquet room with a connecting doorway. And a back door from the Stillwell Hotel that residence use now and then for a quick bite to eat. Always familiar smiling local faces and townfolk alike. Open 7days a week. Business owners come and chat around the main table, with even their names written on the bottoms of the chairs. Enjoying coffee and deserts and mid day gossip. Or simply about the weather. Or if you have a question, concern or just needing a little help or beating the heat with a float or water along your journey down the store front Ave.
For 70years Otto's has been an open honest family business. And as such been a fixture of Pittsburgh, Ks with it's Home style menu and various changes to the daily specials. Adequate pricing with home made cookies, pies, and cakes all made from scratch in house could give any fast food joint a run for your money. At limited quantiles
I'm surprised that many local and in town school students attending PSU do not stop by more often. Though the lack of Wi-Fi entice customers to stay away. However, if a connection is needed a faint signal good enough for essential access can be had from across the street. It's nice to have a cozy spot during its business hours and lighter traffic for study time or group efforts and be able to focus.

Overall, the staff is pretty laid back with many here for years, and enough of small town ambience kinda take ya to familiar places. Design isn't involved, so there is no guess work. Just come and enjoy some grub.
Hope to see you soon.
A great staple of downtown Pittsburg. Breakfast is excellent and the staff are very friendly. The coffee is just right and the bacon is never burnt. The hash browns are luxurious, cubed potatoes seasoned just right and the toast itself is worth the trip. The atmosphere is quaint but clean. Lunch is typical diner fare and nothing to scoff at. We have been numerous times and never disappointed.
Was in while in Pittsburg, Jamie was our server and was great! The food was fantastic, but even better was the gorgeous scenery outside! I love this place and will be back for sure!
Had been a long time since I was here. Had the chicken fried steak. Very good for Pittsburg. Restaurant was clean. Staff was very friendly. Definitely will return.
I'm a big fan of Otto's. While I somewhat prefer Harry's for breakfast, I haven't found a better hamburger steak in town than the one Otto's makes. And that's not to say Otto's doesn't have great breakfast, they do. You can load up a table with folks and have a ton of food for an extremely good cost. They've also stuck to that really classic diner feel, which doesn't change the food, but does give it that small town, cozy feel.
The waitress was nice enough and the food was good, until a roach crawled out from under my plate!! It was repulsive. We didn't have to pay for our food, which was to be expected, but I was horrified that there were bugs right by where my 2 year old son and I were eating.
The only reason we even went to Otto's was because the wait at Harry's was too long. However, looking back, it would have been quicker just to wait at Harry's.
Otto's was about a third full, and we were able to sit immediately. However, they were out of menus and coffee cups, which we thought was a little odd. We placed our orders and waited and waited and waited. About 45 minutes. We never got out coffees refilled, and we had to ask more than once for straws and silverware. Also, my mother-in-law ordered water with no ice, so the server brought her a glass and pointed to the sink so my mother-in-law had to fill and refill her own glass.
When the food came out, my husband, father-in-law, and bother-in-law's food were all incorrect. The waitress insisted that my brother in law told her one kind of meat instead of the one he had ordered. She also told my husband that the cook was "too busy to redo his order and he could either eat what she had served or she could take it off the ticket," She then explained to us about the grill size, and how it's just too small to remake all of these omelettes. My husband then asked for his side order of bacon, which he never received, and she said she would go get them. By that time, the whole family was done eating and we decided to forget about the bacon and just leave. In total, we were there for about an hour and a half. The server and the management did absolutely nothing to make up for the lousy meal. Needless to say, we won't be back.
My husband and I ate at Otto's this morning, the food was excellent, the people were extremely nice, and the bathrooms were clean. We will definitely go back when we come through Pittsburgh again.
Good french fries. Had to ask for tomatofor my BLT.but it was brought quickly. The people I was eating with enjoyed their food. The waitress was very good with the 2 year old that was with us.
