Daughter ordered the cheeseburger and coffee. The club was delicious, but they made it on white instead of wheat, but it's fine. The fact it had real ham and not some processed deli meat more than made up for it. The fries are worthy of an entire paragraph themselves. They are so crispy. I don't know what batter they use, but it is perfect. One plate is definitely enough for two people, maybe even three. The daughter raved about the coffee. She said it tasted like, "it was made with love," whatever that means. Lol The waitresses were all nice and seem to all take care of all the customers. I liked that they all helped everyone instead of being "assigned" to a particular table. Overall, the place is clean, prices are more than reasonable, and food is good.

Returning to Pistol Pats's diner to try the dinner menu. On a recent call in order, we went with…read morethe chk frd stk. dinner, I suggest everyone try the whatever else till they decide to buy a better cut of meat , it was like chewing small, long, stringy, round, rubber bands and in between the rubber bands was a severely leather cooked, fried to perfection, can't cut through with a knife steak. Everything else was pretty good, mashed potatoes w/ wht grvy, corn, mozzarella sticks but there's something seriously wrong with the steak when you start looking forward to eating the fried concoction surrounding the steak during the meal.... you know what I'm sayin, I'd still be chewing that steak this very day ‍‍. Then... (clearing throat) let's talk about the catfish dinner w/ fries and slaw, I'm trying to be generous by saying it was a complete disappointment. The fries were wet, cold and undercooked and the coleslaw was warm and limp, completely disgusting even our cat debated eating the fish that wasn't eaten. It will be a minute before we order dinner again from Pistols I'm giving 2 stars, one star for each dinner, it was just sad. For the positive, the dinner roll was soft and warm, the mozzarella sticks were knocked outta the park, never tasted better If you are reading this review... we suggest to sticking to just breakfast at night hire a better cook, change the meat you are currently serving because there's no value in chasing away customers over bad cooks, lazy food checkers and crappy choices in food sourcing. The chicken fried steak was a nightmare past the awesome fried covering you dip it in, just down right inedible. The fish is awful and overcooked and your fries are undercooked, seriously what's going on there at night ??? cause it isn't cooking food correctly or even being checked before leaving, does anyone there try tasting what you're serving before you serve it??? EPIC IDEA

This comes from the top I'm sure, if they don't understand customer service nor will the staff.

Hey! Stop here and MEET Jimmy! Owner and chef from Kosovo! Came to the US in 1999!…read more All that to say This guy worked hard to get here. Plus loves military and law enforcement... check him out. Ok the food. Oh my goodness! The catfish was on point. Thin, thin, cornmeal breading that is so delish. Worth the stop. The man got the chicken strips dinner and if you check it out those are not little strips... they are little chickens! Come on Saturday or Sunday for all you can eat catfish for under $10! And it is SHUT-UP delish! Anyways, say hi to Jimmy, tell him you found him on YELP and send your friends!

Our waitress was really attentive and sweet. We will absolutely return.

All it was was a container of hot dog sauce did I could have bought at Walmart for a little over $1 a can and a bowl of spaghetti that I could have bought for a dollar at Walmart and made my own The only extras they gave me was a little cup of dill pickles and a cup of raw onion chopped. I can't believe that in order to try their food I had to cough out just $32 plus tax for a family meal That's ridiculous talk about highway robbery and shaming the customer. I would never go back there and I never recommend them but I did make use of their sauce I bought a pack of $1.19 hot dogs and put it on the hot dogs.
