Courtside Bar & Grill

Met a friend here while I was in town for a job. At first glance, it just looks like a sports bar but the staff is so nice and welcoming. The food was absolutely fantastic! My friend let me try her ribeye and I had a burger. The meat for both orders was cooked properly and didn't take terribly long to come out. The server was handling the bar AND the dining room. Even though she was pretty busy she kept up with all of our requests, including drink refills. I highly recommend this place!

We came here last night for dinner and we were not disappointed! The southwestern egg rolls and mozzarella sticks are SOOOOO good!! Bacon Cheeseburger was amazing!! We played pool and pinball. Staff was friendly and the overall ambience was perfect!! Highly Recommend and we'll be back!!!

This place is packed on a Monday night. The bartender and waitress are quick to get your orders. The servers are like track stars getting your orders out and always asking can they get more. I eat all over the country on my travels and have never been so impressed by their service. WOW!

If the name doesn't give it away, this is a SPORTS bar. At least a dozen screens in the space had everything from baseball to surfing (no soccer while we were there & Poker isn't a sport).
We had a BLT, Reuben, Buffalo Chicken Salad & breaded cauliflower.
Wing specials look promising on Monday nights. Happy to find a place open before Thursday in Ottumwa.

Good food and a nice friendly atmosphere at this bar and grill. Would visit again if in the area. Enjoyed the fish and chips a lot.

The grilled tenderloins here are one of my go-to favorite meals. When I dine in, it's always clean, and the wait staff is friendly.

The waitress was very nice and helpful. The food was delicious and came out very quickly.

As always, great place for a lunch. Lots of good burger and appetizer options. Service was excellent and attentive to us the entire time we were there.

Stopped by for dinner with my wife. Sat outside on a very nice patio. Food was decent. Drink prices were fantastic. Our server was Nicole and she was great. She made our experience much better. If we ever pass by this way again we'll definitely stop in

Great staff we had a group of 20+ and the staff did a great job of keeping up with everybody's needs. Thanks

I go for the night life. Great atmosphere lots of people great fried foods and some that arnt fried plus good drink prices and very good bartenders, be patient because it gets very busy. And they have a large outdoor patio for the smoker's and a corn hole game.

Courtside Bar and Grill is the place to be with your friends if you want to just sit and relax and drink. My friend and I went and it was really peaceful because we went around 8 pm on a Sunday. Saturdays are their main busy days where they're really crowded with a fun time. I recommend this place 👌. 10/10

Outstanding! This place is doing it right. I was greeted immediately, and the staff was very friendly. The food was great and my steak was perfect.
What really stood out was the way they took care of their customers. I felt like they were genuinely appreciative of each person in there.

Courtside Bar & Grill in Ottumwa, Iowa is a great place to go eat and have some drinks! This Saturday Keokuk Elks golfers invaded the Courtside with 35 to 40 people. The staff was beyond amazing. The manager was interactive with us and was always checking with everyone to make sure everything was good. When in Ottumwa we highly recommend to check the Courtside out!

Great place to eat. Really decent prices. Wait staff/ bartender was awesome.

I am in Ottawa Iowa on business. I asked the desk clerk at the hotel of good restaurant near by. She recommended the Countryside Bar and Grille. It is a typical sports bar, however very comfortable for a women alone or a family. I ordered a porterhouse steak with asparagus. It was one of the best tasting steaks I have ever had! I do travel a lot for my job and have eaten in many restaurants. The staff is very friendly and I felt very comfortable here alone. I would highly recommend Countryside Bar and Grille if you are in the area. One more thing....my experience here was so good I wrote this review...I never write reviews!!!

Was in town for a dog show and staying at the Quality Inn. Asked the front desk manager for his suggestion for a good place to have dinner, and he recommended the Courtside Bar & Grill. His referral was spot on, because the food was excellent and portion-size was impressive, to say the least. Our server, Eric, was great as well. Would recommend the Courtside, it's worth the trip!

Awesome atmosphere n waitresses are friendly n accommodating. Food is really good n the tap beer is great.

Great local place away from the chains. Good service, reasonable prices, a great menu selection, and really delicious food. Prepared well, hot and fresh, and not greasy at all. Nicole the server was wonderful!

Our meal was amazing as always! And the staff was fabulous!!
