I chose this restaurant based on its great reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was very…read moredisappointing. When I walked in to pick up my order, the employee assembling my food wiped her gloved hands on her pants before continuing to prepare my meal. She also used those same gloves, which were covered in food and sauce, to bag my order. The outside of the takeout containers and bag was greasy, and after seeing how my food was handled, I couldn't get past it. I only ate a few bites before losing my appetite. I also got the pita chips, but they were extremely dark and tasted like old oil, as if they had been overcooked or fried more than once. We had been driving all day and were passing through, so I was really looking forward to a good meal. Instead, I left feeling disappointed and honestly grossed out. I hope the restaurant takes food handling and quality control more seriously because the reviews led me to expect a much better experience.

The decor did not disappoint on that count! The owner was super sweet and funny, and found a Bigfoot baseball cap for her while promising to get some more swag purchased soon. She had actual breakfast and gave it an A--scrambled eggs, pork sausage, hash browns with cheese (had to get some cheese in there somewhere). I'm not nearly as big a fan of traditional breakfast and I hadn't had my tenderloin fix on this trip yet. Bigfoot Betty's fit the bill. French fries were delicious too and the fresh veggie add-ons. Ain't no tenderloin like an Iowa tenderloin.

Would not recommend to anyone with food allergies…read more I have a nut allergy and asked the employee if the vegan cheese contained nuts (vegan cheese is often made with cashews or almonds). He had no idea, and worse, told me the restaurant didn't even have the packaging or ingredient list to check. A restaurant that can't answer a simple allergen question shouldn't be in business. Totally irresponsible; shows a lack of care

It's a great atmosphere, pretty decent beer menu (found on a chalkboard up on the east wall), and some good eats. Our absolute favorite part is that they play old rock music videos from the '60-90s. We LOVE that. It's the perfect place to bring parents. I had the bacon cheeseburger, which is good, but I'd love to see more bacon on my bacon cheeseburger. It just had two sad, little slices of bacon on it. And I do dislike when restaurants offer chips and make you pay more for fries. But their beer-battered fries are quite delicious. My only complaint is that the craft beers come out in frosted mugs, which makes the beer too cold to properly taste. I'd love to see some different unfrosted glasses coming out and keeping those frosted glasses for the Budweisers and Coors of the world. When I'm craving a pub burger and fries, this is our spot. And yes, one of these times my parents come to town, we are taking them out for dinner. Who knows, maybe my stepdad will break out his air guitar if AC/DC comes on. :)

And it is a sports bar so there is a tv at every booth. I am slightly sad that their gluten free menu is under construction at the moment and no one could help me out because I wanted to try something new. But I have been here before so I just had to ask a few questions to the waitor. Joey was very helpful but seemed slightly overwhelmed when I started asking questions based on food allergies. It was also quite busy considering we walked in a little before 8pm on Saturday so maybe that was part of it. If you have never been upstairs I highly reccomend doing so. It is slightly quieter then the main floor and they do have a billard table if you enjoy that. I was however frustrated that the 2nd floor bathrooms were locked and I could not get help to get the bathroom unlocked. They have a seperate fryer, gf buns, and gf chicken wings. I love being able to find a place that has so many options. My sister and I had the chicken philly sandwich on a gluten free bun, no cheese or aioli because we are allergic to gluten and dairy. We both ordered our sandwiches with a side of fries. The bun was very dry, more so then usual. Normally it is flavorful and soft. It almost felt like they had left it out when they should not of.

We did sit upstairs where it was a bit quieter. Our server seemed baffled by our beer orders and didn't know what was on tap. We waited a length of time to have her come and take our food orders and even longer for it to arrive. When it came, everything was either luke warm or cold. It did, however, taste just fine.

I must say that this was most unfortunate because the food was very ordinary. The General Patton Chicken's chicken was okay, but far too dry to hold up with in the fried rice that surrounded it.

Obviously, Patton Diner was not at the height of its powers on this evening due to the very limited menu. This does leave hope that a more traditional menu would live up to its strong reputation.

The BEC Sandy had plenty of egg on it and was tasty. Portions were decent but not huge. The restaurant is long and narrow so it doesn't have a lot of out of the way places. It was also brightly lit. Coffee was good and they had a good selection of premium coffee drinks as well. Service was friendly and our server checked in on us appropriately and filled coffee as needed. All in all a really nice breakfast option different from the usual.
