Everytime we come for the Prime Rib dinner it always cooked to perfection. Reasonable priced as well. Been coming for many years here. No other place in the midwest is better than their prime rib. The waitresses are always so friendly as well.

Dining at Patti's is always a wonderful time. Service is great. The food is perfect and so delicious. The servers are quick, efficient and very polite. The food is cooked to perfection from hamburgers to the pork chops, chicken and seafood. The flower pot bread and strawberry butter is amazing. The desserts are delish. Don't have room for it. Just take it to go because you won't be disappointed. If for some reason something isn't right they fix it!!!. A wonderful dinning experience every time.
