I always make a point of eating at Pattenn's Cafe when I'm in Orr fishing. They have an excellent breakfast menu and many days they have dinner specials. The service is always good as well. Recommended! read more

Whenever I am in town I definitely have to make a stop here. The food is good, the prices are decent, and the staff is friendly. The wait time is a little longer than most people usually like, but the food is cooked to order not just reheated fast food! The donuts are exceptional and worth every penny. If you like history, you will like this place, it used to be an old train depot. read more

Family owned and family staffed with a comfortable north woods atmosphere. Be ready to wait a while. But the bacon cheeseburger and fish sandwich were both very good. Good fries snd coleslaw with creamy dressing. Pie looked good but we didn't try it. read more

This is the north woods of Minnesota; don't expect a gaggle of choices of where to eat. The prices may be a little high, but good food, and sassy waitresses don't come cheap. The decor is simple north-woods rustic, and the staff will provide anything they can put on your plate to keep you happy. I had a BLT with a fried egg and home made unsweetened iced-tea; Helen had a bowl of soup and curly fries that would make Arby's envy. This was a great stop and a good value at $18.15. Check out my photo of their famous "Big Donut" it is more than I can handle, but a bargain at $1.65. read more

T Pattenn Cafe - A doughnut as big as her head - Fast Food Near Me - Orr, Minnesota

Always great food for a great price! Have tried: - Cheese Burger with homemade fries; love that they add raw or fried onions for free and they put some on the bottom of the bun and on the top of the burger, love that they toast the bun, and love their homemade fries! - Chili; always a favorite, hot and ready to go immediately! Try it with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side. - Breakfast foods; filling and fast, always hits the spot! Comes with jelly :) - Have had the doughnuts and other pastries, since they are home to the Big Doughnut! read more

Perfect place to grab breakfast after turning in our house boat on Crane Lake - had the stuffed hash browns with eggs and they were great. Husband had the biscuits and gravy special and he enjoyed them too. Our friend got a homemade sourdough cinnamon roll and it was delicious! read more

Great food great service great family Some of the best breakfast I've ever had stuffed hashbrowns are awesome everything was good service was good people were good very helpful very friendly we're in the area check them out read more

This place is great. It's definitely slow because they make everything to order and it's a family-run business, but the food is delicious and affordable. Their burgers, pancakes, and all the things in their donut case are delicious. Just be prepared to sit for a while. Also, they only take cash!!!! read more

Decent food. Salad was pretty good but the rest of the place wasn't great. Kids had mini corn dogs which were kinda burnt. The did have GINORMOUS donuts which were so big that they lost flavor. read more

T Pattenn Cafe - a hand holding a donut - Fast Food Near Me - Orr, Minnesota

Over all it was great for the road trip back home from the lake. But I do have to say the price on the menu are not accurate. But would recommend getting the raised donuts, they are fluffy and chewy! Definitely worth the stop! read more

Stopped here on the way from Warroad to Duluth. Got the big breakfast combo with steak and my boyfriend got the egg and sausage combo. Food was a little bland, but big portions and friendly staff made this place worth a stop! Would definitely stop here again! Simple food, great prices, friendly staff! read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in here after a gloomy day of hiking near Voyageurs NP. I loved the fact we were the only patrons during mid-afternoon in late May - made the experience feel even cozier. Came in looking for comfort food and got that exactly - overall a great pick-me up for anyone looking for a bite to eat near the boundary waters. Even though we probably screamed cliché "out of towners" our waitress was super friendly and personable. read more

Hands down THE BEST French toast I've ever had. The special today was the apple French toast with bacon. Fantastic! And the owners are a charming hip couple. Stop here if you're anywhere nearby! read more

T Pattenn Cafe - Great donuts - big, fluffy and a tad chewy. Just right! French toast was great too! - Fast Food Near Me - Orr, Minnesota

I was really hoping this place would be decent. The hash browns are not crispy at all. The omelet appeared be just scrambled eggs folded together with cheese on top. Definitely nothing special but it was a decent experience. Good waiter and cool little place with some decent history behind it. read more

Limited menu. It was a hot summer day and they had no AC. Some flies kept bothering us while we were eating. Denver sandwich was overpriced. Will not go back. Cleanliness is an issue. read more

When your town has one stoplight and they turn it off at night, it is hard to have a gourmet restaurant. Pattenn's is the only restaurant in the town of Orr which is open 7 days a week for breakfast lunch and dinner. You actually take a few steps down into the restaurant which is below grade. The pancakes are good and they are famous for their Big Donuts. If you are in a hurry to just grab something and go, this is not the place for you. Food takes a while to be served, but the prices are extremely affordable. The dinners are not the best, but on a Monday night they will do. Definitely will provide you with local flavor. read more

Assigning this a single star was tough, the only good part was the initial smile and hello. We sat for 5 minutes before receiving a menu. For the amount of food we received...the price is too high. We had to wait 35 minutes for them to bring our food down from the upstairs kitchen! And when the waitress arrived, her body language made me feel like we were to hurry and get out. The crowd was small, as it usually is in small town cafes. My fiance's food: the potatoes were cold, the ham was hard, the toast was the first thing prepared and left to cool. My food: the only thing luke warm was the bacon. "The ham was hard enough to fix the roof!". No one approached us to see if we needed refills or how the food was. Guess they knew. Better service at the gas station next door!!! read more

You have to remember this is a small town cafe and can't expect gourmet food. That being said, this is a fine example of a small town cafe. The first thing you notice coming in is the pastry cabinet and the "farmers table" where the locals come, sit, eat, gossip, and leave at a community table. We only ate at the cafe twice, both times for breakfast. Both times, I had a homemade twist pastry. It was obviously homemade and fresh, and they warmed it for me. They have plain, apple, cherry, blueberry, and peanut butter. It was about ten inches long and two inches thick and very filling. That and coffee and I was satisfied. The rest of the party of six had similar pastries such as caramel rolls and very large sugar or glazed donuts. These are not French pastries but as good as the ones my mother made when I was a child. The menu included other typical breakfast items such as eggs, bacon, French toast, pancakes, etc. but my party who had been there before raved about the pastries so that's what I had. Delicious, and I was not disappointed! read more
