This restaurant had the kindest staff out of any food place I have ever been. Maddie was the sweetest and complemented my tattoo and my friend's nails. The food was amazing, I got their Nutella strawberry pancakes and they were delicious. Can't wait to go back soon.

Awesome place!!! Great family owned and run business. Everything cooked fresh amd delicious. Highly recommend.

Every time I visit my shore house I am always looking forward to this spot. Patti's kitchen is always busy and their servers are always so very kind and inviting. I love the vibes here. My go-to order is one of the omelettes (usually veggie or Greek) with the fries and bread. Sometimes Turkey sausage on side. It is so very hard to not get their pancakes because they are so so nicely made and delicious. My family and I will always be returning customers here!

Waiter and waitresses super nice, the food is spectacular and comes out quick. The area is nice and you can bike there.

Every year we come back to Lavallette and every year we come back to Patti's. Best breakfast spot on the island! Everything we have had here is great. Staff are very friendly and attentive. My favorite thing to order is their hash browns. Seasoned perfectly and crispy. Their omelettes are delicious and so are their pancakes. You can't go wrong here

Food and service is very good. Place is very small so there is normally a long wait on the weekends.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Kelsie at Patti's Kitchen. During the summer seasons we spent in Normandy, my mother and I had a cherished tradition of visiting Patti's for breakfast, specifically ordering the fresh peach pancakes and a cup of coffee. Patti's became such a favorite that my mother would willingly drive an hour each way during the off-season just to enjoy a meal there. Though I've only owned property in Normandy for three years, Patti's quickly became a tradition when we'd come down. Tragically, my dear mother passed away last week, and both of us had spent most of the summer in the hospital. Our time in Normandy was limited this year. However, this week, I made the decision to visit Patti's alone. As I walked in, a wave of grief overwhelmed me. Kelsie noticed my pain the moment I walked through the door and immediately offered her condolences for my mother's loss. I couldn't hold back my tears, and Kelsie hugged my tightly, even amid the busy lunchtime rush. I found a seat at the counter and ordered my pancakes, but Kelsie didn't hesitate to check on me multiple times, even though she was handling a busy shift. When the time came to pay the bill, Kelsie insisted that breakfast was her treat that day. I'll forever remember the pain of walking into Patti's without my mom, but I'll also forever treasure the compassion, warmth, and kindness that Kelsie showed me. Patti's Kitchen is more than just an exceptional restaurant with delicious food; it's a place where you're enveloped in a sense of belonging. I want to extend my profound appreciation to Kelsie and Patti's Kitchen for helping me navigate the many "firsts" that lie ahead without my mom by my side.

Patti's Kitchen is a family owned well oiled machine. This place knows what they are doing every staff member was refilling something or making coffee or refilling the ice. I got the medley of French toast (or you could get pancakes) eggs, and choice of meat (i got Taylor ham) with toast. My mom got the waffles with blueberries. We both thought the food was excellent and ate everything. Literally nothing was left. I am honestly surprised this place doesn't have more reviews and maybe it's because just word of mouth works for them. I heard from a friend that this place was great.

This is the first time I've been to Patti's after the renovation, and I was so excited to check out the new place! The new paint and a new dining room upgrades the restaurant and makes it feel fresher, but I'm glad the punny signs and quirky knickknacks still have a place on the walls. We braced ourselves for a long wait, considering we arrived at 10:30 AM, but we were seated right away! Our waitress was very attentive and brought us our drinks almost immediately after we sat down. I always get the chocolate lover's French toast, but I was tempted to mix it up and try the Nutella and strawberry pancakes or the white chocolate raspberry French toast. If you're looking for something that tastes like dessert but still can qualify as breakfast, definitely go to Patti's! My mom ordered the classic Taylor Ham (or Pork Roll? That's up for debate...) sandwich, and from what I saw across the table, it looked delicious. I recommend Patti's to every breakfast lover down the shore!

This was the best stop our noble chum posse made during a recent foray down the shore, beating out the fried Oreo and artisanal cocktail competition. We came here for breakfast a few Mondays ago around mid-morning, everyone famished. There was a slight wait (clearly a popular destination - a positive sign), which was only a concern because the sky looked like it was about to open up and drown us. We were seated less than 10 minutes later, still thankfully dry. The interior of Patti's is cute, rustic and a bit intimate - it feels like you're having a meal at a friend's house rather than a restaurant. It was pretty crowded (I don't think I saw an empty table while we were there) but didn't feel claustrophobic. Despite being there at a busy time, at no point were we rushed by the staff to get out of there to open up tables for others, nor did we have to wait around for a significant period of time to order or receive our food. It certainly speaks to their ability to pack this place consistently throughout the day. I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict dish off Patti's breakfast special menu (which was part of the permanent breakfast menu so I'm not sure what actually makes it special per se, but no matter). We also ordered a stack of blueberry pancakes to share, a concept that has never occurred to me before but is something I intend to do in the future quite often - who can eat a whole stack? And for someone like me who constantly agonizes over whether to get something sweet or savory at breakfast, this is the perfect solution. Everything was delicious. The crab cake entrée was a hearty portion, but not over the top. I'm usually not crazy about hash browns/home fries being shredded (I have mostly a texture-based palate) but the pieces were still pretty much packed together so it was easy to shovel into my maw. And the pancakes were the perfect density, not too heavy but still packed a punch. This would have been great just based on the food, but the service went above and beyond. Everyone was over the moon about the waiter, who good-naturedly teased our chum's voracious appetite, was super personable and accommodating, and was always nearby if needed. When we were getting the check at the end, he provided a Harry Potter-themed pen for us to use, and upon witnessing our pleased reactions, gave an impish smile and said, "I thought you'd like that." Just a delight. You either have the temperament/personality to pull that off, or you don't. This guy did, and knew it. It's not hard to find hearty breakfasts in this area, but good luck finding a better option than this one.
