Patches Restaurant

"Delightful cafe a short distance from Legacy Park & the historic rail station at the south end of the Legacy Trail & beginning of the Venice Waterway Park & Trail. Patches is a tribute to the famous Barnum & Bailey circus clown but there’s no clowning about this cute cafe that serves breakfast, lunch & dinner at reasonable prices. Staff are cheerful & friendly. Mimosas were a lovely surprise & so delicious! Greek gyro & salad were very tasty & fresh."

"Menus had pop on them. Syrup bottle covered in Syrup. Never got the chocolate milk that was ordered and when we asked to have it removed from the bill, no apology. We are new residents in the area looking for a regular breakfast place. It's obvious the regulars here are treated far better, friendlier and quicker than we were. However, no common respect. We will never be back. Food was ok. Nothing special. I am a business owner and am always looking to partner with quality businesses, disappointing experience."

"Tried it again since it was under new management, was not disappointed. No longer has the musky smell. Food was great and reasonable prices. I had the egg and pancake special. Sausage links were tasty. My companion had the egg and home fries. Home fries were the best I have had here. Next time trying the biscuits and gravy."

"Old school, no frills. Privately owned. Great service. Great straight forward food. Pancakes the size of a frisbee, BLT, plain and simple and delicious,sausage and biscuits on the money. Home fries deep fried, yum. Coffee is a little weak for me but good."

"Cute little Cafe. Was seated at once. And asked what I wanted for a drink. Had coffee and it was delivered fast and was perfect. Then I ordered 2 eggs ,bacon , potatoes and rye bread . It did take a little time for it to get out to the table ,but was perfect. Was listening to the table next to me they had ordered liver but I was not sure with what but the waitress had to take it back twice .but I have to say the waitress waited right there for the gentleman to cut into and make sure it was done the right way easy time. Success was had 3rd time was the charm. I do believe they are training a new cook. Or like every place I've been out in the area restaurants. they all are complaining that they can not get cooks . So it's slow going on getting food out. But just as delicious. The place was clean and all customers seemed yo be happy with what they ordered and the waitresses did come around after they see you had a bite or two to ask how is it. They were was helpful and refilling the coffee on time. I recommend this little Jewel."
