I am surprised that there is not a lot more local buzz for Pat Dees. The food is surprisingly good. My first visit to Pat Dees was when I needed to get some food to help the contents of my stomach from a recently completed pub run. So I was going to like about anything placed in front of me. A very nice French dip was a great choice. But I made sure to go back twice after that before forming an opinion. So after an awesome patty melt and above average pizza, here you go. Pat Dees is above average food, great portions, and amazing price. During happy hour, 3 22 oz., and the afore mentioned patty melt, I got out of there for less than a 10 spot (not including tip). The only con of Pat Dees is the service is a bit slow. All three times I had to ask for a menu.
*disclaimer: It's very good bar food.
