Patrick's Roadhouse — Restaurant in Los Angeles

If you are looking for a breakfast, brunch, or lunch spot, STOP HERE AND GIVE IT A TRY! The quirky atmosphere, the service, and the food ALL exceeded our expectations. My daughter got a waffle with Nutella. The waffle itself was TOP NOTCH, thick and fluffy but a little crispy on the outside, just like a waffle should be. I got fish a chips and to my surprise it was some of the BEST I've ever had. The fish fillets were THICK and perfectly moist and flakey. The batter was thin and fried perfectly crispy without being greasy. The fries were fresh cut style which I usually DO NOT like at all but they do something to these fries that makes them perfectly textured and fluffy in the inside but crunchy on the ourside and they somehow tasted seasoned even though there wasn't visible seasoning on the outside. The fish and chips also comes with a side salad as well that I wasn't looking forward to but it was a step above any side salad I've ever had at a diner with fresh GREEN lettuce, ripe tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, and micro greens. The service we received was so genuine and welcoming. Our toddler spilled a WHOLE water and the waitress joked with him while cleaning it up and made him feel so much better about it. We didn't go unattended to for a beat. They were so on top of all of our needs and as we left EVERY single employee wished us a good day and to enjoy the rest of our trip. I don't know HOW this place wasn't packed and doesn't have a 5 star rating, trust me, take the chance, and eat here! You won't be...

Over-priced food, the place is very dirty. Everything is better at Mel's Diner 5 minutes away. Location is the only reason this place has customers.

EDIT: Thanks for reaching out. Please go ahead and notify Google if you feel I am not being truthful. I have recipes from eating here, I have pictures that are geo-tagged with dates & location AND.............. I cycle past this place almost daily because I live in the canyon.

The best part is, Google already knows all of this information (I also have a google pixel phone)!!! The reason the place is closed is exactly because of the reasons I mentioned above, place was always dirty, overpriced, and the food was just ok.

I am just getting around to writing this review because I received a notification from Google to review this place since I have been here several times since the new year. I live up the street and once I read the place was closing down, I didn't think to myself: let me write something immediately. My initial reaction was: cool, hopefully the new restaurant is better and I'll want to walk here more often. It was Google that reminded me to share an opinion, this was my experience every time I ate here.

I'll check out the new place once it opens, no old reviews will be taken down. Only new reviews for the new place,...

What a perfect, post-beach day spot! I love coming to Will Rogers State Park/Beach. I go for a run, jump in the ocean, sit on the beach, and usually grab a bite before heading home. Today, I decided to do that last step at Patrick's Roadhouse, a place I've (unfortunately) passed up several times before, and man do I regret it. I walked right up and was immediately greeted and given my choice of seating. I ordered water, and an Arnold Palmer, which both arrived before I could get the menu open! I also received a basket of home-made fries/chips! I settled on the Salmon Mango salad and WOW was that one of the best, most well-prepared pieces of Salmon I've ever had! I finished up with a piece of their home-made apple cream pie, and though I couldn't finish it, it made me wish I had two stomachs! The decor is eclectic and random, but hey, its California baby! The view is great, with the ocean right there in front of you (in spite of the traffic), and the music rounded the ambiance out perfectly (it was NYC Frank Sinatra style..again, random but it fit)! I got away (including the tip) for a little over $30 and didn't hate myself or feel guilt or waddle away! I now know how I will be ending my usual beach day from now on, so meet me...
