Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual morning meet-up than a romantic setting—laid-back and unpretentious, with friendly energy ideal for easy conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—Pat’s is walk-in friendly and doesn’t take reservations. Go before 11am to avoid a short wait.
Is it kid-friendly? Very—high chairs available, friendly staff, and a simple menu with pancakes and fruit plates popular with younger diners.
