Patterson's Cafe

Wow where do I start? When we got there we didn't have to wait and were seated in the front area and away from the door. However as more people came in and there was a wait for seating people would hold open and the inside set of doors and the cold air would fill the room. At this point we were always cold from the winter temps blasting in. Then comes our server who seemed to be a dud with no personality who also seamed to ghost us at times. She did finally take our order after bringing our drinks except for my wife's diet. She blamed the bar and said, those came from the bar. My wife asked again and then I asked again then it finally showed up. Next comes refills on the diet and coffee which we had to ask for. Our order came out and was hot but not quite right since some of the orders were written down incorrectly. That all was straightened out fairly quick. I got the meat lovers omelette as did my son and I thought it was really boring and almost flavorless. Probably because it seemed very dry. Then comes the shocking discovery of the tip to the whipped cream dispenser buried in the whipped cream on top of my daughter in laws pancakes. (Photo attached) My son asked the manager to come over and she did. She was very apologetic and asked if we wanted it remade or if my DIL wanted something else. She said no and I asked that it be taken off of our bill and the manager agreed and said that she was going to do that anyway. My DIL then decided that she wanted something to go since the rest of us were nearly finished eating. She ordered a sandwich. Now one would think they would comp that meal to go since they were the reason she didn't get to eat with the rest of the family but no it was on our bill. I didn't say anything about it except to my wife and we left. I had been to this restaurant before and so have my son and his wife who stop by more than us because they live close. Typically it is good but we always feel like a they are rushing us out to turn over the tables. Today is more than likely my last visit.

Paterson in Oxford, Ohio is a delightful spot with incredibly tasty food. The pancakes were delicious, and the overall seasoning was on point. I was particularly impressed with the eggs Benedict--the hollandaise sauce was velvety smooth and packed with flavor, making it one of the best I've had.However, the only downside was the coffee. While the food was top-notch, the coffee didn't quite match the quality of the dishes. A better brew would have taken the experience to the next level. Despite that, the food alone makes Paterson worth a visit!

Cute diner that has all your classic breakfast dishes. Not a lot of vegan options but they did give me toast and avocado.... which was very $ IMHO. Kids were happy and it's the perfect spot to take your college kids for a weekend breakfast when visiting Miami

I stopped in at Patterson's Cafe yesterday just a little after noon. There was a line at the door of people that were waiting for a table. This was a Saturday. I had read the reviews before I stopped to eat and I had read that they had problems with service and also the hostess not telling you what was going on. I saw none of this yesterday. When the hostess came to my name she recognized that it was me she walked over to me and said I have this table ready or you can sit at the bar. This table was a two top and I was by myself. I chose to sit at the bar. This was my first time in Patterson's Cafe and I was there because I had a $25 gift certificate I had been given.I believe the bartender's name was Lily and she is the one who took my order. To start I ordered the Irish Coffee for a starter, it had Jameson Irish whiskey, kahlua, coffee, and whipped cream. This was an excellent way to start my meal. I ordered the Patterson's Irish Burger. Instead of a bun there was the boxty. The Irish Boxty is a potato pancake. Next time I would order a hamburger with a bun instead I wasn't a big fan of the potato pancake but the burger was delicious.Overall I had a very good meal and I had excellent service. I will stop here again the next time that I am in Oxford.

This is THE destination for a fantastic brunch. It's clean, bright, comfortable, with cheerful and very well-trained staff, and the food is out of this world. Such a great selection of Benedicts, brunch plates including Monte Cristo sandwich and chicken & waffles, all kinds of breakfast meat options, full bar, plus burgers and sammies too if you're more inclined to the lunch mode. They know how to make a great over easy egg, the butter provided is soft, and their house blend coffee is rich and delicious without a trace of bitter.It gets busy, obviously, so be prepared for a potential wait which will have to be out of doors or in your car. Not to worry, they'll find you. I have found the wait times to be accurate. So glad I had a chance to get back here today. I won't wait so long for next time when I plan to finally get the chicken & waffle! Patterson's- love it. Come early, come often.

I never shut up about this place. Being an Oxford local I visit often! I will say they have always been busy, but WORTH the wait. We sat up at the bar and loved watching the freshly squeezed orange juice machine. Both the bartenders were very attentive and managed customers and server tickets efficiently. The menu has many options for both lunch and dinner. When you go you MUST try the orange juice, although their bloody mary's are amazing as well

Just had a simple scrambled egg breakfast and my son had avocado toast and bill was $40....really Oxford?

There are not many options here in Oxford and Patterson's cafe knows it. They offer mediocre food, cheat you on serving size, awful service with the price tag of a 5 star review restaurant. Ordered 3 eggs and bacon, and the egg portion looked like one egg made flat so it will look like more food. The bacon was the cheapest bacon ever!!!! For 3 pieces of bacon they charged $6 STOP IT. When I asked the server about the eggs she rolled her eyes. What a joke!! Don't ever come here!!! Drive the extra 20 min to get something decent. Lesson learned! Patterson's cafe you are not worth the convenience. I will be your new self proclaimed marketing client to ensure you start treating your costumers the right way! If Yelp had half or stars I will give you half of one star!!! Seriously DO NOT COME HERE!!

Great service and great food. Awesome atmosphere. I had the breakfast quesadilla and it was great!!! Salsa was good, the guac was bland

Best breakfast and Service. The veggie quesadilla was great. My son had the chicken waffle sandwich and loved it. Glad I found them on Yelp on our visit to seeing Miami U.
