Pat Dees Pub & Eaterie

Two good things about Pat Dees: they have good pizza and you can’t mess up beer. I got the fish platter — was supposed to come with fries and I got «mashed potatoes» with canned gravy. My wife got chicken breast which looked microwaved. Slow service. I wanted the stuffed cabbage special but they were out when we went to eat at 6:30. If you go, do yourself a favor and only order pizza and beer.

No. Just no. Stopped for b-​fast on a Saturday morning about 7:30. The coffee is terrible. The toast is burnt and I didn’t like the taste of the non-​burnt parts. The overall quality and taste of the whole meal was not good. Had eggs over medium (those were fine), bacon was chewy, cubed hash browns fine, I paid 50 cents extra for green peppers and onions and there was literally like 5 tiny onion pieces and a few more diced green pepper.
The server behind bar looked like she didn’t want to be there and I felt we were intruding.
Will not return

Love this place! Local bar /​restaurant. Food is great. Breakfast is reasonably price and delicious. We recently has the pizza and were pleasantly surprised. Generous toppings, tasty sauce, perfect crust. Have also had their burgers and they are tasty too!

Great pub food for the price. Good ingredient quality, all the way down to the sandwich pickles… no frozen food service crap here that we saw. We had wings, club sandwich and Italian sausage sandwich and were very pleased. Portion sizes were plenty large.
Service was good though they were not busy. Atmosphere was divey but clean and well-​lit. Their breakfast menu looked good, too.

Let me start by saying that this review long over due but now that I am moving back to Ohio I can not wait to come here! It is definitely a dive bar but it has some of the best food around. Chef Jeff’s specials are great, very very reasonably priced and more than generous portions. From pizza to wings to sandwiches I can’t get enough of this place. Service is friendly and has the hometown feel that you can’t beat.

I would call this a Cuyahoga Valley experience unique to itself. I was told about the place by a cyclist/​skier friend who I met in the national park.
Well I finally went for breakfast today and the place blew my expectations away. You walk in… You think, locals joint for sure. Which in my opinion, is awesome. Best sausage, hash browns, eggs and coffee I’ve had other than at grandma’s house. Best part? 2 coffees and 2 breakfasts, $ 15!!! In Lakewood or Tremont this would’ve been $ 40.

Yes, this is a local bar. Yes, regulars are there. Yes, it’s worth your time to check the place out. The big surprise is the food. For bar food it really really good. By far some of the best pizza around… even rivaling Farinacci’s down the road. It’s a different type of pizza… so no hate on Farinacci’s. Service was great and the place is clean. Lots of TVs too. It’s just an all around good local bar.

I generally won’t blast a place, but this was pretty bad. This is a «townie bar» which generally usually appeals to me. The service was polite but it was obvious I wasn’t a regular so was generally ignored. (had to ask for a soda 3 times and took 10 minutes to get it.) I decided to have lunch because I had a coupon from a local business. The potato skins were generally un editable. Soggy, and seemed to be from a microwave, unpleasant rubbery cheese. The bacon cheeseburger I had wasn’t bad and the fries were ok. Although it was obvious the oil in the fryer hadn’t been changed in a while. Overall not a horrible place, and honestly I didn’t expect much, but I did expect more. Also no pool table or darts and small.

Good sports tv and filling bar food. Fries were tasty too!

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.
