9/25 This place has changed dramatically since it opened, especially more recently. We were regulars and even had a party here a few yrs ago, but I no longer go.
First, the portion sizes have gone down drastically on many menu items and the prices have gone up a lot...
the fried chicken sandwich...used to be TWO huge breasts and it came out held together with a steak knife, could never finish it...now its one piece of chicken and a small one at that....similar thing with the salmon sandwich. It used to be much larger....last time i ordered it, the piece of salmon was so small, I literally took it and it was only big enough for 1/2 of the sandwich and there was only 1 piece of bacon on it as well....NOT worth the money. The burgers... For some reason, every single time I order a burger, they cook it the way they want to, not the way I ordered it and I have to send it back. If I order medium-rare, I don't want a well done burger....and this happened so many times, I literally stopped ordering burgers. The kicker was the elote pizza. We have ordered that pizza 20+ times over the years...always PACKED with toppings, to the point you could barely pick it up....last time the toppings were sparse at best...hardly any chicken at all. So sad and disappointing. The final straw was the bar staff last time we were in....we used to love the bar tenders...nice, attentive, etc...last time the person had a massive attitude for no apparent reason...would see we were out of water/drinks and never came to refil or ask if we wanted anything else...had to flag them down, even then took forever to get refils, in fact we asked the dude brining the food out for some water cause it took so long.
I haven't been back in a long time (over a year) because of these issues...so expensive and the portion/quality/service has gone down so drastically, that it's no longer a fun experience to go here any more. Makes me sad.

Pub and restaurant with outdoor patio, bar top, and some large format seating.
Service was quick and both menu and drink selections were pretty good. The chicken sandwich I got was delicious.
Only complaint was how dim the interior lights were, made reading the menu a bit difficult.

I really love Holt's! The food is amazing! We've gotten only a couple of things off of the menu, and each one was splendid. I got the fish tacos which were very good. My son got the burger and fries, and both of which had great presentation, and were very tasty. My other son got the mac and cheese, and even that off the kids menu was great. Holt's has a great outdoor seating area. The reason I deducted a star is because there was a party there when I went, and the place can get a little loud. The pictures of the fighting nuns on the wall are very cool. The artwork resembles a small diner, which I love. This is one of my new favorite's in Uptown!

We went for a date night, and expected it to be good since most of the restaurants in park ridge and northwest highway are. But the food and service were terrible. Hamburger completely soggy, cheese curds were super salty, fries were little bits and looked like they were made the day before. And for what you’re paying this is not a great spot. We were super disappointed and don’t think of sitting inside you won’t be able to hear each other all.

It was good, server wasn't attentive. No refills, my girlfriend wasn't asked if she wanted another drink. I will go back.

Tried a pizza that reminded me of New Haven style, and yes, it really does! My husband, who is crazy about pizza and always wants to try different places, loved it too. We ordered the pepperoni — thin crust, not overly crispy, just on the edges and perfectly balanced, neither hard nor chewy. Fresh tomatoes for the sauce and delicious, high-quality pepperoni. Another place I’m happy to recommend for pizza lovers.

Didn’t get to eat as this was a drink and dash visit. The cocktail 🍸 list was tasty! I did peak across our table to take notice the food appeared rather delicious. Would definitely return with an empty stomach next time!
We had to go in just before the kitchen closed Wednesday night, and the food was great and the servers were too.

I use to love holts, loved the pizza and the crust! But lately I feel like it has a different taste. Not sure if they changed the recipe but it’s definitely not the same. Pizza has such a weird after taste now. Idk what happened. Service is great.
