Patty's Kitchen

Okay, let's be honest about what my wife and I were looking for in terms of a dining experience today. First of all, it was a Saturday morning - late morning. We were hankering for a good breakfast place, one we hadn't been to before, and, quite frankly, in the diner, "greasy spoon" category. I know that sounds demeaning, but that is truly what we wanted to find - you know, a place where you can get some bacon and eggs with hash browns and a big cup of hot coffee. With personable waitresses (not "servers") who stop and chat and make jokes with you about how you might should feel a bit ashamed at eating all that AND a big serving of biscuits and gravy, all the while holding a steaming glass carafe of not-too-bad coffee to "warm you up." Well, that's what we found today. It's been there all

Patty's is a country kitchen, just like Grandma made. Had the ground steak with Mac and cheese and fried okra. I wasn't crazy about the Mac n cheese as it wasn't creamy the way I like it. Everything else was good with a little salt. Mo had the meatloaf with green beans and potatoes. She said hers was ok but not a lot of flavor. Country diner setting and I didn't realize the lions club still sold brooms.

First when you walk in I almost tripped on the black rug with holes in it. Then I had to use bathroom it was about 4 or 5 steps UPSTAIRS. Then the commode is so low to the ground it’s hard to get up. Ordered everything I ordered chicken strips with fries and onion rings. Yuck. The chicken is so extremely small it’s not even worth the price and the portions are tiny. Small amount of fries and onion rings. Went without a drink for several minutes and had to actually flag someone down in order to get a drink. The food was very disappointing and nasty. The chicken didn’t taste good. The fries tasted just like fries should and the onion rings were dripping with grease and oil. I feel nauseous after eating this food and will not be returning. I actually had Patty herself come to the table and as

Comfort food at its finest! Breakfast all day, which is hard to find anywhere any more, made it nice for those of us that still wanted breakfast while others of us wanted lunch. Everything was delicious, fresh & seasoned perfectly. Mac & cheese and potato cakes were outta this world, and the country fried steak was crispy & yummy. Our waitress was awesome & very friendly. The prices were extremely reasonable as well.

Found this quaint little restaurant located right on top of a slope while passing through VA from PA to TN. It was kinda like a regular hangout for the local old folks and church-goers. It was a Sunday when we were there so people were pretty much well-dressed right after church. Husband and I were travelling on the road from east to west in our tees and jeans, so we felt pretty out of place, but, we were instantly welcomed by our friendly server who made us feel right at home. It was busy at the time we arrived so we waited quite a bit for our food. Pancakes were soft and crispy, the kind that melts in your mouth, sausage patties were extremely delicious, but the hashbrowns was a little too bland from what we are used to. Overall, we had an excellent brunch. Highly recommended if you happ
