Recovery Room

Great local bar, definitely a locals spot, which are always my favorite. Domestics on tap, great service and the food is good at a GREAT PRICE.

I ordered food. It was amazing. But you have to pick it up. Definitely worth it.

My husband and I had lunch here. We LOVE the tenderloin. I has the special Giant tenderloin on Texas toast topped with gravy potatoes on the side with gravy. Delicious!! Hubby had the breaded tenderloin sandwich with fries. SO GOOD!! This place never disappoints.

Great place for a late sunday hangover breakfast..

It was a great bar ,had great food
Very reasonable.

Can't go to Ottumwa without stopping by the Recover Room for a tenderloin. Thick white meat breaded enough for a crisp crunch served on a bun gently hanging over. Served up with french fries that are crisp right from the fryer.
Thank you, crew, for never disappointing us from our drive down from
Des Moines.

Very nice old style bar type atmosphere. The food was fantastically plentiful, and service, as well. The restaurant is small, but it allows for more personal attention.

I had the cheeseburger and Hubby had the tenderloin. Both excellent. Tenderloin was thick, not a rolled out thin plate like some. My burger was delicious! I could only eat half of it though. It was big but tasty. Great prices. Fast and friendly service. Atmosphere is more bar than restaurant and there are not a lot of seats. It was loud, even on a Sunday over a noon meal, but there were several large groups in the back. It was fine with us. People of all ages were eating here. We enjoyed the meal!

I had a crispy tenderloin salad. It was huge! Delicious and a great value. Server and service was excellent. My cousin had a tenderloin sandwich, side salad and cottage cheese. We both had to have a to go box. We stayed and visited for a very long time and it was fine with the staff. Great food and a wonderful visit.

11/10 bartender is amazing. Best bar in town, 100,000x better than reds pub. THANK YOU

I went there wanting a nice good cheeseburger but they had a tenderloin special with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans so I tried it instead and it was so good. I hope they have it every Sunday! Service was excellent!

Great food. Great people

Great food in a cozy neighborhood bar and grill.
The tenderloins are A1. Best around.
Stopped in for lunch and the special was hot beef sandwich. It did not disappoint. Make this your go-to for eat in or carry out.

It's a very good place to get a great meal and the staff is great and very friendly people who care about the customers.

A very nice place the Bartender/Waitress was an absolute joy to work with. The food was very good and I can certainly recommend the breaded pickle spears. Clausen Pickles are favorite of mine.

Large portions, thick, tender, tenderloins without any gristle or fat. Served on extra-large buns that have been toasted on the grill that sets the flavor up a few notches from most restaurants in the area!! Golden French fries are a special treat if yoh try them that I've.not seen elsewhere. The only thing.I didn't like was the $1.74 charge for onion, pickle, lettuce and tomato. I've not had to pay extra for pickle and onion before.

Tenderloin was exceptionally good. Very tender & no fat. They are always well-prepared. The service is normally fast. Friends from out of town like to go there. Fun place.

Had take out when visiting the folks. Really good home style cooking.

Excellent steak, great hospitality, friendly waitresses and bartenders. We're truckers from out of town but were treated like family. Will definitely stop next time around.

10000000/10 completely recommend this restaurant, the food tasted amazing and the decor felt so homie. place was clean and well decorated If you’re looking for a good restaurant to go to I highly recommend this one.
