Patty's — Restaurant in Lewes

Slow service, no hustle. Bland egg salad $12.99 per pound!?! It was chopped egg and mayo. No flavor. Luckily we are traveling through and I had granulated garlic, salt and pepper in the camper. $18.50 for a turkey sub with bacon, pepper jack and mayo. I don’t mind paying or waiting if the food is outstanding. But the fresh food was nothing special.

We were so impressed with our lunch we did a special dinner and it was fantastic! Don't be put off by the outside, it's like a foodie...
