A magnificent transformation for the Old Towne Cafe. The counter has been replaced by a big dining room but is remembered in a wonderful mural. Additional staff ensure that more patrons can be served. Love it!

Awesome low-key restaurant in old town Gaithersburg.Lots of TVs for watching sports.Recommend by a few friends, I decided to try their burger and wow, burger was perfect.I had the Bang Bang burger and it was perfect for those, like me, who love spicy food.

Love the atmosphere. My brother and I used to come here when we were younger all the time. Grew up on this street, so it’s nice to see this family business not only still open but renovated and elevated. It still has a family oriented vibe but looks a lot nicer, giving diner meets sports bar. I recognize the owners and son on the cooks like. He was walking around talking to the guests around us, so that was cute. I bought the wings which were phenomenal. Will definitely come back with my friends.

Decided to finally stop in and check out OTC and man am I glad I did! Really nice low-key bar. The happy hour menu is awesome, and the burgers here and absolutely phenomenal!! I’ve been looking for a great homemade (non-chain restaurant) burger for a while and I have finally found the place to get it..OTC Bar & Grille (the french fries and great too)! The staff here is very welcoming and friendly as well! I’ve been twice this weekend and can’t wait to get back!

Place is great. Perfect chill spot to watch a game and enjoy great food. Hamburgers are thick and sandwiches are a good size. Breakfast is top notch a lot options. 10/10

Stopped by for lunch today and enjoyed a delicious cheese steak and fries, and the service was great.The cheese steak came with a toasted bun, fresh lettuce, mayo, and grilled onions. With the generous allotment of hot sauce at the table, I was in heaven. Fries were crisp and well salted. Really satisfying meal after a day of riding.Place has a sports bar / family restaurant vibe with lots of TVs behind the bar and well spaced tables and two-tops on the main floor. Tayler (I think that's her name) was a great waitress, friendly and attentive, even while juggling all the tables and even some bar patrons.Nice place to check out for breakfast or lunch for sure.
