Godfrey's Ale House

Had a Cobb salad and requested regular cheese instead of Bleu, cucumbers, and avocado. Needless to say it was made to perfection. Friend had a ribeye sandwich and said it was perfect and ordered the same thing the next day for lunch. I had the B.L.A.T. we were from out of town and this place felt like home. Staff was super friendly. Service and atmosphere was great. Only con about his place is if you go for lunch expect to he there for the entire hour if it's busy. I still give it 5 stars. Great place to eat in Ottumwa.

Soo Delicious!!😋
We had the fish & chips and their strawberry lemonade
And everything was divine!!
Thank you to all the cooks & staff for a great lunch!
See yall next time!

Football games on the TV's, cheese burger and cheese balls, couple beers. Cool atmosphere, good people good hospitality. Gave my teenage boy his first Job.

Awesome food and service. Lexi was out waitress and was very friendly. We had the cheese burger salad. It was so good.

Loved this place. Atmosphere was pleasant and friendly and they treated my son as his own person; talking to him just as much as me. And when he put his stuffed animal sloth in a seat of its own, they brought a glass of water for it because he looked parched 😊
My chicken was a little dry but overall food was good.

I love going here on Sundays to watch NFL games the service is amazing and food orders are fast for sure. All around it’s definitely worth it! I’ve been there a few times and now making it my permanent place to go.

Wonderful food and exceptionally wonderful service extremely please

First time here. Traveling and passing through town. Food was awesome and came out super fast..very friendly waitress. Definitely recommend.

Yeah, it took longer than it should have for our pretzel appetizer to arrive, but good goddess it was SO worth the wait! I honestly have not been able to stop thinking about that beer cheese sauce since we ate there in Sunday afternoon! I also got a salad which was also pretty good, but honestly, i was super mad at myself for not getting the nachos after i tried that beer cheese sauce? We live in Osky and id honestly make the drive to Ottumnwa weekly just for that sauce. I have worked in restaurants my entire life and rarely get excited about food these days. I am excited now. We will defintely be back soon!!

Excellent fish tacos. I will be back if ever in this town again. Saved this place as a favorite. I normally don't like soft pretzels & my friends wanted them so we got those as well. It made me rethink my stance on soft pretzels...very good.

Great food and service. Unique menu!!

Fun atmosphere, with friendly staff, and great food. It is a good place to watch the game, too, with a good selection of beer on tap and a full bar. Excellent when the weather is nice and the windows are open, it's like outdoor dining inside.
I highly recommend the popcorn shrimp tacos 😋. And the mac-and-cheese, with chicken and bacon, yum! I also love the Southwest salad with steak. And the Pretzel bites appetizers are wonderful.

Lively and fun place to meet with friends for drinks and dinner. Food is delicious! I've had the southwest egg rolls appetizer and the burger with egg on it. Delicious!

Best bar food I have had in a LONG time. Great service, too.

Lots of gluten free options!

Highly recommend anything with the beer cheese queso, we love it with the pretzel and the nachos, but would consider drinking it too lol

The food here was delicious & huge amount. Cool inside, so we sat on patio, and waitress took good care of us. We'll be back.

I love this place, nice place to go for the game, good service, good food, I enjoy it! Only place in Ottumwa to go for sports bar, food and drinks and good to meet friends.

I have only had takeout but the food is always very good which is usually a steak sandwich and fries. Always polite and cheerful when taking a telephone to go order and usually it takes less than 20 minutes to fulfill your order. Definitely recommend!

Very busy snd the staff handled it perfectly. Super friendly. Food was very good (bacon cheeseburger/fish & chips) and served quickly. Burger was right on med-rare. Pickle spears were good as well. First time here but will be back.

I didn't have any food but every one else at the table did. Sarah was a good waitress. We had a group of 10 and she always checked in with us.
