Patty's

Stopped here for a quick meal. Service was prompt and the waitress was wonderful.  The rib special was served with 3 sides and a fresh hot loaf of bread was brought to the table.  Mile high pies were sitting on the counter, sure wish I hadn't been so full.  Prices were great and we had a great meal.

Really good Southern cooking and ambiance of a Southern family diner - simple, jovial, with abundant servings. I had country fried steak, fried okra, white beans and mashed potatoes.  All good and served quickly. This place screams "y'all come!"

Stopped here because it was right off the highway and it wasn't McDonalds. We must have walked in right after a huge rush because every table was dirty, although the place was empty (it was also 30 minutes before closing so that might have been part of it too). The sign said seat yourself but we couldn't find a clean spot. Finally the waiter grabbed some extra chairs and made us a table. Initial impression: not good.

The menu had several signature BBQ options but for some reason we all ordered cheeseburgers. I hate when sandwiches don't come with sides, so that was another negative, but we opted to split a side order of fries.

The burgers came and were dressed wrong so he had to take them back. The side of fries didn't look like it would be enough for both of us, but it was actually plenty because they were thick-cut (almost like steak fries). The burgers were decent sized and chargrilled, and way better than the McD alternative. I was happy and full.

The craziest part of this whole experience was that the waiter ended up being so apologetic and exhausted from the previous rush that he comped our entire bill!! That was 4 burgers and drinks, on the house. He was extremely sorry about the initial impression, slow start to service, and burger mix-up, so he more than made up for it. We were shocked and impressed!

I would recommend this to anyone in the area. Apparently they are pretty popular and busy, judging by the messes left behind when we got there!
