Pattee Cafe is in the historic Hotel Pattee in Perry, Iowa . I came here to try the Eggs Benedict. My one star review is based solely on the Eggs Benedict. I have a "top ten" list for these. After our visit I could not rate it even in the top 30. My rating is based on 3 weights : 70% = taste 20% = presentation 10% = price With that in mind : 70% = taste: Hollandaise was tasteless & runny. Hash browns were awful (see picture) Asked for easy, soft poached eggs. Had to send back to correct. Could not eat the Hash browns. The English muffin was toasted but soggy. 20% = presentation: hard to describe (see picture) 10% = price: over priced. NOW WITH THAT SAID : The chef came out and talked with us about the meal. He apologized for the Benedicts and said that he is not a breakfast cook and not used to cooking it. We discussed and critiqued the "Bennys" . He said they are a new management and still working on the menu. We will give them some time and try it again later on.
The waiter was friendly and cordial.
The only day for the "Bennys" is on...

The kids really liked their hamburgers and fries, which let's be honest, sometimes kids meals are an afterthought. The burgers were huge and the kids ate them all. Brunch was...
