Little Pat's Place - Seattle, Washington

I spent my formative years in New Jersey. I finally found a diner to fill that comfort spot. Our server was super friendly, the coffee refills were continuous and fast, the food was tasty, and prices were unbeatable. Get the French dip!

In a time when dining out is becoming increasingly expensive, even our go-to brunch spots have raised their prices, making it challenging to find affordable options. That’s how I discovered Little Pat’s Place. It’s a cash-only establishment, likely to keep prices down by avoiding card fees.

When I visited in August 2024, the lack of signage made it a bit difficult to find, but once inside, I found a cozy, if somewhat dated, atmosphere. Most of the time, just two servers usually work, though they bring in an extra hand when it gets busy. Despite the old-school decor, the food is well-prepared. The French fries were a standout—crispy and perfectly seasoned, some of the best I’ve had in a while. I also tried a homemade soup, which was a bit on the salty side but still satisfying.

While the area is full of charming brunch spots, the affordable prices and friendly service make Little Pat’s Place a local favorite. For me, this spot is more than just a brunch restaurant—it brings back memories of similar places I visited in the Midwest during the ’90s. The crowd here skews older, adding to the laid-back vibe, and I hope this multi-generational gem continues to thrive for years to come.

I’ve been going here all my life and it’s always great, good ol fashioned diner food with friendly Filipino service, my favorites are the skewered teriyaki with hash browns and eggs over easy or the hamburger steak with onions and mashed potatoes with brown gravy and green beans

Always great service. Quick and delicious food. Only place i know you can get cream of wheat made to order. Pork chops delicious as well. Courteous and cheerful staff. Can't beat the prices. Even my cheapo friend was so amazed at the prices he paid the bill. We nearly fainted, lol!

Decent enough food but the gravy for the biscuits had little to no sausage. Good sevice accept that they only accept cash only with the nearest cash machine being 2 store fronts down. In this day and age being cash only is a hassle I do not want to deal with.

One of my favorite breakfast joints in the area. Not gourmet food but probably the most reasonably priced you can get. Great service, decent food, great prices. Love this place.

We all love lil pats because of the friendly people who work there. Would be nice if they stayed open a little later, though. Going here has been a family tradition for many years.
