Steak House • $$
“We went to dine last Friday night and were fortunate to immediately snag bar seats on an incredibly busy night. Had absolutely phenomenal service from Leslie who was prompt, friendly, and attentive! I had the salmon and my husband had the ribeye, both of which were cooked to perfection by Jennifer! The entire restaurant was packed with wait-times quoted up to an hour and while we didn't end up having to wait ourselves, it would have absolutely been worth it! Shout out to Will as well, the manager on duty at the time, and to all of the incredible staff there who ran things so smoothly and efficiently. The quality and service were top-notch even on such a busy night! Cannot recommend enough.”

Mexican • $
“Great wait staff. Great food. By far my favorite Mexican food place 💕”
Italian • $
“First time visitors and everyone thought the food was very good and we will return. Pizza was fantastic! Wings were excellent and house made cannoli were delicious. We love garlic and will request a little more garlic on the house made garlic knots next time. Meatballs were cooked perfectly but needed a little more garlic and spices for our taste. Oregano on the table was a nice touch. Service was friendly and timely and we really enjoyed our meals!”

My husband loves a bright pink drippy burger and most places can’t deliver, but his was perfect here! Fried green beans were stellar. Pretty good local beer and cider selection. Kelsie crushed it as a new hire, even found hubs missing wallet 😂. Do it…stop here. Great place for post kayaking fuel.”

Doesn't look like much on the outside but I sure was surprised by my order being delicious, well-priced and made properly.”

You want someplace where you get solid comfort food, surrounded by history, both personal and local, a place run by good people that welcome you if they've seen you 3 or 300 times ... well ... you are going to want to discover Pat's. If you're smart - and have a sweet tooth and appreciation for excellent baked goodies - make sure you get your desserts first before they get bought out. ❤️”
