On a recent visit to Camden we visited Peter Otts for a late dinner at our hotels recommendation and were not disappointed. Although the menu is not extensive they are able to offer a little of everything and do it well. The chef is the owner and obviously cares about quality as both of our meals were done to perfection... More

Well where do I start. My wife and I are from Chicago and spoiled. We came to Otts on recommendations of this website. The bread comes first with a smidgen of butter. Is there a butter shortage in Camden? I ordered the chicken pot pie and needless to say the chicken is all leg meat,no breast. Costco sells a better... More

8oz filet mignon was gorgeous. the staff were friendly and there was a nice buzz in the place. we chose Ott's based on tripadvisor reviews and weren't disappointed. fresh, warm bread and lovely NY Riesling. not the cheapest but good value.

Great place to have a drink then share a meal perfectly prepared to your preferences. Set in a wonderful town to take a walk following your meals.

Peter Otts is one of the few places that I frequently visit in Camden. The food always exceeds any expectation, surely to delight with hand cut steaks, fresh and LOCAL produce from the salad bar, as well as the local seafood! I love that the owner cares enough about his community to help by trying to stay as local as... More

My girlfriend and I LOVE this place.Peter Otts is nothing less than perfect. I love how it's owner and chef operated which we just found out at our last visit when we were honored to meet the man himself behind such a delicious meal. You don't find that very often anymore!! Fresh veggies, homemade dressings, wonderful selection of wine, top... More

This restaurant is on of the few where you can get a good steak grilled. They also have fish but we always go for the steak. The salad bar is no longer included but available for an extra fee which makes the restaurant expensive. Dependable quality but winter hours are not consistant. Sometimes they are open and others times they... More

An out of date concept that is poorly presented. Service staff is indifferent and the cooking is thoroughly mediocre. The beef is of ordinary quality and everything else is straight from Sysco. The rating as Camden's best is just wrong. Sorry, as I dislike to disparage a local business but there are so many very good places to eat on... More

I try to make the trip to Peter Ott's at least 3-4 times a year because the food is that good. I love the decor, the waitstaff is wonderful and I have never had a bad meal. Can't wait to drive up again.

Absolutely phenomenol. From the salads to entrees to desserts...( and appetizers of course) we couldn't have been more pleased. So fresh and cooked perfectly. In my opinion we ate for free for what we paid for such a spectacular meal! will be back soon.
