Service was slow and my dish (Banger's breakfast) was not heated all the way through. We were on a schedule and the waitress did not return to ask if we wanted more coffee nor to refill water glasses.
Great place for breakfast, affordable and many choices
Had breakfast... Everyone recommended.. Perhaps it was just a bad day... But my eggs and potatoes were ice cold.
Undersized portions for the price. Taste was so-so.
Very crowded always but the staff is very friendly. One of the best diners in the food desert that is Oxford
Usually really good but my last 2 visits haven't been great. Likely because they are too busy. Food was just fair and, as I say, too busy for such a small place. Long wait for an average meal.
The atmosphere and service are great, but the food was bland.
Top quality breakfast and service. I was honestly surprised to see that such a small town like Oxford can have such a good breakfast place. Don't miss their pancakes. I lived in Oxford, OH for four years between 2015 and 2019. This was the first restaurant I went to when I moved to Oxford. I made sure this was also the last restaurant I went to before leaving Ohio.
Called to place a carry out order and was told they were too busy. They need to change their website that they only do take out orders at their convenience. I'm not giving their food a bad review just the fact that their website is misleading when it comes to wanting to place a take out order.
Wonderful surprise!! Great service and super tasty food. Thanks for a most pleasant lunch experience.
Great place for a business lunch or a casual breakfast. A varied menu where all the choices are good. The salads are huge, so be prepared to take some home. The sandwiches are excellent, too.
We were in Oxford for my husband's college reunion and stopped here for breakfast while we were there. Great food, reasonably quick service.
Great lunch experience. Friendly service, nice setting and not too far from Miami University campus. Ended up getting breakfast foods ... perfect. The pecan pancakes were great. We'll definitely be back.
Went on a recommendation and did not disappoint, orange juice is a tad expensive but amazing
Great food, good service, but gets really busy on weekend mornings so make sure you arrive early!
Best place I have ever eaten! You won't find a better glass of oj that's for sure.
Food is always great and service is stellar. Sat outside today and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings
Great place. Ambiance, decor all terrific and the food is outstanding!
Always a good experience. Great food and staff. Worth the wait.
Good food and fast service. Busy place so go early for a table
Tried this place today. Not a good experience. We got cold, overpriced, undercooked food that didn't have much taste. The service was lacking too, drinks ran empty several times. Won't be back, very disappointing!
My family really enjoys eating breakfast here when they come to visit. Patterson's is fantastic!
Super busy on Sunday morning but great food and friendly staff
Decent food compared to where I'm from (South Africa)
The food is amazing!! I've only had a small part of the menu (literally just pancakes) but based on what I've tried and others opinions, the food is well made. One complaint is that the wait line is so long, though I understand it's hard to control that. Another complaint is that since the building is so small, it's very noisy and it can be hard for me to hear other people at my table.
Great breakfast, lovely staff. Try one of the omelettes!
Great food, relaxing atmosphere! Wonderful service.
Great menu selection. Not the typical chain restaurant foods. If you're a picky eater there are plenty of choices for you too. Everything I've had has been delicious. Plan to wait a bit if you show up on Sunday between 10a.m. to 1:00p.m. as this restaurant is very popular. It's definitely worth the wait! There are a few outdoor tables also.
Great food. Getting a table is hard on the weekends.
Beautiful establishment. Bright colors, lovely wood furnishings. Incredibly diverse menu. Great Food. Our waitress, Sarah, was very friendly,sincere and knowledgeable.The quality of the food made a good value. Recommend it and will be back.
Had the best chicken tortilla soup I've ever had in a restaurant. Also had a cajun chicken quesadilla that was really good. Excellent service too!
Great place for brunch but it gets very busy so get there early!
Excellent wait staff, interesting menu and fresh, very good food
Definitely an Oxford Gem. The Prices are Fair and the Menu is Substantial for a Place that is a Breakfast/Lunch Only Restaurant. From traditional American Foods to the Awesome Items with an Irish Flair and lest I forget the Great Drink Options with a Full Bar, this a Spot Enjoyed by Locals, Students and Visitors alike and I recommend Everyone Visit when in the Oxford Area.
I don t typically leave reviews, but I feel a responsibility to correct the misleading high-stars of this place.
Firstly, the food was atrocious and was served cold. I m not sure what they did to their home fries but I ve never tasted a potato so horrendous and flavorless. It was as though they soaked it in lukewarm, mildewed bath water and then served it.
A menu this long and meandering should have been a clear signal that they specialize in nothing and excel in nothing in favor of attempting to (poorly) accommodate every possible whimsy. Want lobster on your eggs Benedict, leagues from the closest ocean? No problem! Rubbery scrambled eggs? You got it!
On the upside the service was prompt and friendly and I walked away feeling bad for the waiters in the place, who make their living peddling supremely sub-par breakfast food to what must be crowds of folks who simply don t have tastebuds.
Fantastic breakfast! Visit on a weekday to avoid the long weekend waits
Great breakfast menu, friendly competent staff, food well cooked.
I ve been coming here for years, it s really only one of a few brunch spots in town. The food is okay, served in generous portions. It gets really busy so come early. The wait staff is pleasant. Read the menu carefully though, they will nickel and dime you for every single thing. I ve spent more than I intended many times because the waiters will give you choices without mentioning the cost. And before you know it, you ve spent $4.5 on half a cup of frozen fruit (it s $1.50 for each type and not all together like the menu makes it look) and an extra $4 switching your ham to four pieces of chicken. Yeah, I ve learned my lesson by now.
Love the portions of food that you get. Food was well prepared and tasted great.
A great place to have breakfast or lunch in Oxford. We come here almost weekly
good food only open unill 2pm. used to serve dinner but it has gotten better since then.
They have good food. Unfortunately, they pick and choose when you can put in a take-out order or not. I've called 3 times in the last month and each time been given a different reason why I couldn't put in a take out order. Once, they were "closing early", second time they didn't provide an explanation, and third time, they were too busy for take-out orders. They need a disclaimer on their website and on the menu, that take-out orders are a luxury and not a normal business practice for them.
Clearly best in town for breakfast or brunch. Delicious, hefty portions, good service. Everyone knows this so it is crowded, but that's the only negative. Specialties are great--Monte Cristo, Eggs Benedict especially; corned beef hash not so much (but nice try).
Really solid breakfast menu at reasonable prices. Give the Fattys a try.
Wide ranging menu, hard to make sure choice. But my potatoes were not warm.
With excellent variety, good portion size and bottomless coffee, Patterson's is definitely the best place for a comprehensive breakfast in town. Also has good lunch options.
Food was good, a little slower then usual but still very good. Waiting staff was very friendly and polite. Food wasn't as good as expected..bad with his employees, no insitive to stay there my son worked here three years and he treated him terribly, worse place he has worked in Oxford and he has worked all over uptown. DONT GET A JOB with this company
Good food but the packets of strawberry jelly are not very good. Please switch to Smuckers.
Best breakfast in town! Locally owned, Irish themed, this is great for brunch and lunch as well. Be sure to go, just watch out for the $6 orange juice, lol.
Pretty mediocre food, nothing really stood out.. Much better options in Oxford.
After a week of phlegmy chest and tired legs, I went there with a friend, and we sat on the bar stools, and when the food was served, its fragrance and its golden color, beneath the glow of lights, made me feel better, and we talked and laughed, as the tiny snowflakes outside adorned an invisible dancing princess.
I haven't been to Oxford before, so I tried Patterson's just by chance. The eggs benedict deserve the half a page of menu dedicated to them. I got sausage gravy for the potatoes and it was the best darn gravy I've ever had. We also had a breakfast burrito and it was very good.
Patterson's Cafe has a nice selection of breakfast, lunch, and brunch entrees. I like their lox with cream cheese on a bagel. Friendly staff with quick service once your are seated. Prepare to wait at least 20 minutes for a table.
Great food, great prices, very friendly and efficient woman who waited on our group of 9 people.
Good diner food! Breakfast all day and so many grilled cheese options!
Ingredients dont seem very fresh..it was just ok. Food came out quickly though.
Love the service and the place. Cozy, family oriented.
