Holt's

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.

Holt’s was recommended to me for their amazing grilled cheese and tomato soup entrée. I cannot find the words for how delicious it was! In addition to that, the atmosphere and service were both excellent! And finally, I tried their bloody Mary and that was also outstanding! I will definitely be going 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!

Holt's is a okay restaurant/bar. I came strictly for their cheese pizza since they claim they are New Haven style pizza! I had to come check it out. pizza was kinda okay nothing special at all sauce was kinda weak. I wouldn't call that New Haven style. I've been to CT and had pizza. Holts crust and dough falls very short compared to New Haven plus you need the right oven which they don't have. Peace in the city is more closer to CT pizza. Holt's service was really nonexistent. It took forever for a thin crust cheese pizza to come out!(40min) They have bunch of high school kids running around the restaurant running it. I wouldn't go out of my way or wait for a table more than five-ten minutes to sit down at Holt's.

Great venue standard options as well as some unique options. I had the salmon BLT. I was a little apprehensive but it was a great combination of flavors. My husband had the house burger which he enjoyed. No parking lot but lots of free street parking.

Holt’s in Park Ridge brings a fresh take on American comfort food with its standout New Haven-style pizzas that boast a crispy, charred crust and inventive toppings like Italian beef or classic margherita, delivering bold flavors in every slice. The burgers are juicy and customizable, paired well with creative salads or cheese curds that add a satisfying crunch, while the craft cocktail menu offers refreshing twists like a house-infused gin fizz. Though some pizzas could arrive a tad cooler during busy rushes, the quality and portion sizes make it a worthwhile indulgence without overpricing. The vibe at Holt’s is modern yet cozy, with vintage-inspired decor and an energetic bar scene that’s perfect for casual gatherings or after-work drinks, enhanced by a selection of local beers on tap. Service is friendly and efficient, with staff providing spot-on recommendations, but it can slow slightly on crowded weekends. Overall, this spot earns its four stars as a reliable neighborhood gem for elevated pub fare in the Chicago suburbs.

I was standing in front of restaurant for few minutes because I wasn't sure what kind of food they're serving, but I did get in because of everyone ordered pizza. Must be good pizza here. Don't look like typical pizza I usually have so I order special pizza. Elote pizza looks great, small size definitely enough for two persons but this pizza was tasteless!! It's literally no flavor. Great ingredients and amazing pizza dough but why no flavor, but I love restaurant vibe. It's fun vibe, great out door seating, great fast service. Superb cocktails here. Gin with vermouth is amazing, smoke old fashion even better. I definitely go back for more cocktails and different special pizza next time.
