My husband and I stopped in for lunch on a Monday, and it was BUSY! Because of the high level of traffic, I wasn’t expecting great service or for my food to come out hot and fast, but I was very surprised. We were seated almost immediately and our server was excellent. She was behind the bar, but also had a section of booths that she was serving. She gave us our menus and took our drink orders, as well as a food order for the booth across from us and did an incredible job of staying on top of everything with a friendly smile and helpful attitude. I ordered the lunch special of a breaded tenderloin and upgraded to onion rings. Both were very good. I am an onion rings “snob,” and these had an excellent breading with very sweet onion rings inside. I got them with a side of ranch and devoured them all. The tenderloin was an excellent combination of crispy on the outside, but tender on the inside. My husband had the hot beef plate. It was enormous and he said it was delicious. It was piled high with tender roast beef, mashed potatoes and a very dark, rich gravy. This is a great place for a fast, hot, affordable weekday lunch!

This was my first visit to The Other Place. There was a variety of seating options--tables, booths, and bar seats. There were plenty of televisions for viewing sports. I had the lunch special that included a House Salad and 2 slices of pizza. The pizza's crust was very good and I enjoyed the taste of the pizza. The salad was plentiful and was the perfect side for the pizza. I'm sure we will return.

The restaurant was very busy but they got us right in. We had the Saturday special, 16" taco pizza and an order of onion rings. The food was absolutely delicious! Jocelyn was our server and she didn't miss a beat. She asked if our appetizer was good and asked if our pizza was good. She kept our drinks full and always had a smile on her face, all while waiting multiple tables and helping keep her area clean. This young woman deserves a raise! 5 's all day long!
