 Fred P. Ott's Bar and Grill in Olathe, Kansas has a nice variety of daily specials and several standbys including Fred P. Ott's "Biggie," a 8 ounce hamburger. The biggie used to be 10 ounces, but has down sized and the price has also dropped Ott's is part a local chain owned by Kansas City, Missouri's Haddad Restaurant Group. Haddad also owns Winstead's, the Plaza III, and Timbercreek Bar and Grill in Louisburg, Kansas. Daily specials include $2 off burgers on Sunday, 8 ounce fillet with potato & salad for $11 on Tuesday & Saturday evenings, and a 5 ounce fillet mignon sandwich for $7.95 all day on Thursdays. Fred P. Ott's is open seven days a week with the kitchen open until 10PM weeknights and 11PM Friday and Saturday. The meat served at Ott's is the same as the Plaza III steakhouse, but I am afraid that the cooking is not the same. No matter how I have tried ordering the Biggie, it always comes well done. The kitchen did perform better on the fillet that I had when revisiting on a Tuesday evening. I ordered medium rare, but it came medium - which is what I was hoping for. The fillet was very tender. Service at Fred P. Ott's has been inconsistent, largely due to high turnover. I don't think I have ever seen a server there, that was working at Ott's on a previous visit. Ott's small local chain began on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri and has a second Kansas location at 6700 College Boulevard in Overland Park, Kansas (913-451-2999). Classic video arcade game fans may enjoy playing a 1981 Galaga at the Olathe Fred P. Ott's Bar and Grill.
