Patches Family - Venice

It only took me one time and I became a fan. Every time I get a chance to go eat at Patches I'm always bringing someone new. Their pancakes are huge and I usually get either a cheese steak or french toast. Today I'm going with the Reuben and I have actually been craving this from the last time I came to eat.

Great little diner near downtown old Venice. I've only had breakfast here but it's always been good. Food is fresh and they have good iced tea. Also, interesting wildlife in the parking lot since it's close to the beach.

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.

Definitely a place frequented by locals. A varied menu with good service; ask for Sherry. I would have rated it higher if it wasn?t for the restroom facilities. The men?s restroom only has room for one person. The door did not close completely and there was no way to latch it nor was there any indicator to warn people that it was occupied.

Pound this on Google Maps. Glad we came. Great food and service. Everyone is friendly and works hard. The cook delivers your meals . A place where the locals eat. A must do.
