This was our first visit, and we will be back. Loved the atmosphere. The food was really, really incredible. The best fried shrimp I've ever had. Steaks were cooked perfectly. Delicious fried catfish. Good gumbo with a dark roux. The gulf fish almondine was amazing. The ooey gooey dessert and the bread pudding were out of this world. Try the raw oysters and meat pies for appetizers. We had such a great time. I almost forgot to mention the beautiful views of the water.

Always an amazing experience at Pat's Rest Awhile. Friendly and prompt service and delicious food. Great place to relax and catch up with old friends.

I love Pat's. Had to share my new favorite lunch option. Half a dozen char grilled oysters and the wedge salad with their green goddess dressing. Holy moly. Sooo delicious.

Lovely setting, food was good, staff was somewhat inattentive. The restaurant needs better signage, we were confused about how to get to the actual restaurant as there is another bar and numerous outdoor seating areas attached to the building. But a really nice concept for a relaxing dining experience near the water

Maybe our expectations were set too high since we love Pat Gallagher's other restaurants, but the food here was not up to the standard. The catfish was not crispy. The shrimp and corn bisque was more like a chowder. The appetizer was very good, however.

Went there with large group. Food was excellent especially the beet salad. Even people who don't like beets will love this one. Great balance. Beets cut into small pieces so as to not over power salad.

The dishes we ordered all were good, although the gumbo was too salty. It was a great place for a casual lunch.

Ken

The place is beautiful, great outdoor views of the lakeshore and the food was great. The lobster roll special was delicious and the lobster was cooked to perfection. I can't recall his name but the guy working the outdoor bar at ground level was extremely personable and gave great recommendations before we headed inside for our reservation. We will definitely be back!
