Patty Joe’s Po-Boy Cafe

Loved the atmosphere and the staff, but they pale in comparison to the food. Homemade hash is great, they cook eggs the right way, and the seafood was fresh both times I had it. Sunday’s get pretty busy, so be prepared — don’t go after church gets out.

Finally tried breakfast here. It did not disappoint!
I also love the dinner. The burgers are great, from the grill burgers. The fried clams are awesome. And you can’t beat the fried pickles. The sauce that comes with them I could put on everything.

The food is delicious and fresh. Patty and Jo are great people and take pride in their food. It’s like coming home to eat!

Kind of a rushed atmosphere so its like hurry up and eat leave. the food was pretty good but still felt very rushed and uncomfortable

We came here for lunch on a Sunday. I was very impressed with the menu, lots to choose from. I went with the buffalo chicken sandwich and asked for fries instead of chips. The food was awesome. I thought the fries were some of the best I’ve had. We also finished with some homemade pie which was also spectacular.
I can’t wait to come back and try something else. It’s nice to find a cozy place like this in the area.

If rating the food alone, it would be five stars. Fresh and hot. Generous portions. Interesting choices. Hell, where else can you get creamed chipped beef on toast?
Sadly, it’s the service that dooms Patty Joe’s to a less-​than-​stellar two stars. Specifically it’s the rolling-​eyes and the exasperated sighs of one half of ownership; Patty herself. Misery personified.
Dare to come in 30 minutes before the posted closing time… Sigh! Dare to ask for more coffee/​ketchup/​hot sauce… Sigh! Out of cream… Sigh, eyes roll and (something new) a slight shake of the head! I thinks she’s only ever muttered a few words to me and my dining companions, but the body language says it all; Eat, pay and GET OUT!
Every one of the six or seven times that I’ve been in here, they’re training new waitstaff. Usually some bright-​eyed kid, brimming over with optimism and enthusiasm. Now, what happens to them in between visits is only conjecture, but I’m pretty sure she’s contrived to suck all the joy and happiness out of them and discards the empty husks in the outgoing trash.
Love the Portuguese hash!

This is an authentic Southern eatery, with dishes like Jambalaya.
The po-​boys are made with a thin sub roll. If that’s what your idea of a po-​boy is, I think you’ll probably enjoy it.
