Patrick's Roadhouse

Glad this place was open on July 4th (I was informed they’re even open on Christmas). Great place. Great service. Good price for import beers (Guinness for $7.00). The cheeseburger with jack cheese was made to order with the toppings I wanted (other options for cheese include American or Cheddar Cheese). Friendly staff. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Located near Pacific Palisades and a rock throw from the beach. Glad I tried this place.

Let's start by saying if you are looking for an avant-garde restaurant Patrick's is not it. If you want great food, huge portions and an eclectic visual, you found Nirvana. This was our random choice after visiting the Getty Villa down the road. Now I wish we lived closer. I ordered the fish and chips lunch special that comes with a salad. My wife ordered the Grilled Salmon Salad. Both were very generous portions and very flavorful. Even the iced tea cup was huge. There is so much to visually look at in the restaurant it defies description. although it is fun to talk about during your visit. Service was spot on to add to a great experience. Well worth the trip if you are in the area. Also a better option than the cafe at the Getty Villa in my book.

Saw this spot on Diners,Drive Ins and Dives and realized we’d be in Santa Monica this weekend. So we came in for lunch. The place is quirky and the service is very friendly. My wife ordered the Fish & Chips and I got the Dijon Plum Burger with wasabi fries. Everything tasted delicious and very fresh. All the operations are big enough for two people. Parking is difficult though.

I met the owner At Patrick’s roadhouse a few years ago with my best friends that came from out of town and after our hiking trip we came and what a delightful experience. Then I met his girlfriend and what a beautiful soul she is, not to mention the staff that works there from the waitresses to the cooks and Eve one else is just sweet, professional and welcoming! The food is delicious I’ve tried mostly breakfast bouts my favorite food! Eggs in all possible ways, including the homemade potatoes and the coffee ☕️ must try! I love the de or it’s full of art and crafts, very vintage and odd objects and signs. It reminded me of a place I love in my hometown in Colombia. I have also tried the fish and chips and they are simply cook to perfection! Highly recommend this place it’s a cozy spot where you feel at home if you will. 💚

What a lovely amazing place. The service was amazing. Breakfast was lovely. Daughters birthday and even in the early hours of the day, they presented a lovely cake to her that we got to enjoy whilst walking along the beach. Will be back as soon as we can from the UK 😍

I was extremely impressed with Patrick's Roadhouse. Come for the fascinating and strange decor, but fall in love with the great service and tasty food. The "Poor Man's Getty" is a California Gem that I highly recommend. There's a reason why this place has been around for over 50 years. Check it out and go find out why. +Service - Excellent service all around. The hostess/waitress that helped us was great. She answered all our questions, made great suggestions for items to try, and made my girlfriend and I feel welcomed. +Food - Great tasting food and plenty of options for whatever you are craving to eat. Had an ginormous and incredible tasting burger with fries. My girlfriend had a New York steak and fries. We were both satisfied with our food order. +Atmosphere and decor - Cool and not like anything you have seen or been to before. Photos don't do this place justice, you need to check this place out in person.

Great experience at Patrick's Roadhouse. It is a very laid back restaurant with fun, very unique decor. We sat outside, there were heaters but it was pleasant out so they turned them off for us. My friend had gluten free pancakes and I had the breakfast burrito with no meat along with a slice of pie. We did wait a while for the food but it was worth it. Prices are perhaps a little high but the food is worth it.

Loved everything about this place! Had the huge fish and chips, and the famous margarita. Service is fun and friendly, and the quirky decorations are fun to sit and look at. Huge menu and everything I saw come out looked great! But many tables inside so book ahead if you can.

Parking: they have their own designated spaces, which is a relief, because the beach is a pain to find parking. Ambiance: very fun and eclectic space. Makes it worth it trip just to take a look. It can get a little claustrophobic with its tight quarters. Service: the waitresses were friendly and terrific. The food may be a bit slow, depending on how crowded it is, since the kitchen might be a bit small. Food: I went with the Pot of Gold burger with wasabi fries and spiced Mexican cocoa. Burger was pretty huge and delicious. The fries were a bit sweet/umami, which was interesting, but I'd pick a different flavor next time. Overall, I would come back if I'm at the beach again to try the breakfast menu.

I don't know about anybody else but for me the food here is amazing and delicious. I can honestly say that I've only been here three times. But I've never had a bad experience and the quality of everything they make here , at least in my opinion has always been totally delicious. Patrick's reminds me of those type of diners I would come across when I was a kid traveling with my family, and everything was made with great ingredients, and was always very tasty . They use some of the best ingredients with everything that they make, I had the pot of gold and it was delicious. The burgers was so tasty and delicious , The onion rings are made with real onions not fake ones. My wife had the fish & chips..... she was in heaven.... Soooo good!!! The waitresses here are so friendly and down to earth, they greet you with a smile they make you feel welcome and they also give me some really cool suggestions/options for whatever meal you're having . I totally love the classic decorations they have all over the place. It really makes you feel comfortable. This is one of Californias classic places you need to come down and experience for yourself.

Even though the reviews are mixed, I'm so glad my friend and I took a chance on this place. After a long, HOT day at the beach, we wanted some casual food. Parking is across the street in a small lot, but still accessible. The interior decor is...interesting, very niche. I wasn't into it but still appreciated the concept. The service and food is what this is about!! Our waitress was a very nice older lady, she was super knowledgable about the menu and helped us make decisions. We ended up having the blueberry pancakes, fish & chips, and a tomato soup. The tomato soup was surprisingly hearty, so much so she didn't finish it for fear of spoiling her entree. The fish & chips was a huge portion, with beautifully seasoned and fried fish that resulted in leftovers. But the PANCAKES!! These are the best blueberry pancakes I have ever had. The juice was also sooo fresh, we had guava and orange and they were both so tasty.

Our server Tracy was amazing! She knows the area well and made excellent recommendations. The food was so yummy! Sandwiches fries onion rings and housemade potato chips were incredible but the most delicious was the homemade banana cream pie Most of the time the camera eats first but we devoured the pie before even remembering to take a photo. The area where we sat was a perfect view of the sunset and there was so much memorabilia in the cafe. Super cute diner! Will definitely return!

I've passed by Patrick's Roadhouse so many times I can't even count, and every time I say, "I'm gonna stop and eat there one day!" Well the day finally came... My friend and I were passing through on our way home and decided to stop there for lunch. I had a tuna melt and fries and boy it was delicious! ...one of the best I've ever had as a matter of fact! And their thicker cut fries were so fresh and perfectly golden brown. Parking was easy, right in front although the signs say you can't park there because those spaces belong to the gas station next-door. We asked the hostess about parking and she said the last few spaces were fine for us to park in. The staff was really friendly, and I believe they said they were getting a liquor license soon, so they may have alcoholic beverages included on their menu at some point. I will definitely follow up on that one!

Omg let's say if you having a beach day, you better check out Patrick's roadhouse cuz ain't beach day without dinning here. The place absolutely beautiful great vibe indoor and out door seating. Great beers and great food

4 years I've lived in LA, driving by this place 3-4 days a week on the way to surfing. Never stopped in. Finally made it in today and WOW. Not a 3.5 star place, don't listen to the haters. Amazingly friendly owner who helped us find parking when their lots were full, friendly staff and the food is AWESOME! Huge portions, like so huge I bet my friend he couldn't finish the breakfast burrito otherwise I'd pay for it. And the ambience, how, had been there for 50 Years and you certainly can see it. Only had breakfast stuff but it all hit big time. And the fresh potato chips! If you're in the mood for diner food, breakfast or any food really, stop by! I'll be back for sure

This wonderful diner is full of kitschy charm! We have driven past this resto multiple times daily since moving to the area a couple years. My toddler always loves pointing out all the funky decor towering above the roof, which has so far mirrored every theme/obsession phase he has gone through -- including dinosaurs, planes, elephants, bears, wolves, and knights. As my son's speech evolved, he started expressing his desire to eat to that restaurant every time we passed it and we always promised one day we would. One recent Sunday morning, we finally made good on that promise and popped in for brunch. We were already enamored with the exterior decor, but oh boy, the interior does not disappoint! The diner/pub is filled wall to wall with quirky delights, and I probably lingered longer than necessary in the bathroom just to read all the funny signs. Despite the space being filled the brim, there is plenty of seating: cozy booths along the bar in front, large wooden tables in the back dining room (where many families were engaged in a variety of table games like cards or jenga), a secret garden patio with rainbow globe lights, and a several outdoor patio tables along the road. The service was warm and the menu is extensive -- the breakfast menu has probably over 50 dishes, and the lunch menu similar with its burgers and sandwiches. Schwarzenegger-themed dishes are a thing here. We came for brunch and ordered the healthy Skinny Irish Breakfast in a wrap form (egg whites, avo, tomato in a spinach tortilla) and the less healthy Wild Eyes Irish Breakfast (basted eggs w/ chimichurri, avo, hash browns and sauteed mushrooms). My son devoured an entire side of lox with a bagel. The food is decent-- admittedly not the best part but it's satisfying and the silly ambiance makes up for it. However, the only other negative is the confusing parking situation. The website does show you a map of the very limited spots behind the restaurant, but it's easy to miss the narrow alley. All the parking spots in front of the restaurant are for Chevron customers (I really don't understand why a gas station would need like 10 spots for those not getting gas)? There is street parking and a valet lot further up the road -- but I am unsure the price though. While some reviews say it's free valet, the big sign at the lot says $20 beach parking.

This place would get 10 stars if that was available. We stumbled in as we were driving from the airport to Santa Barbra. Expecting nothing, and we were met with excellent food. Wacky decor. We had our daughter, and they brought us uno cards to the table, which made the wait for food go by in a flash. This place is a gem.

Five stars? Hell, yes, five stars. This place is great for what it is -- a roadhouse style restaurant. Walk in here and walk into another time -- WW II memorabilia lines the walls, big band music of the era plays over the speakers... and there's a shrine to Arnold Schwarzenegger (I'm not sure why). The atmosphere is relaxed and easy, the staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome. The menu is pretty deep, and every breakfast item I have ever had is worth ordering again. (I can't remember if I have had any of the lunch items... the breakfast stuff is just so good). On this occasion, New Year's Eve Day (or December 31, as it is also known) I was dining with my ex-wife, K, who had the Roadhouse Rancheros and a side of the hash browns with truffle oil, I had the chicken tamales with basted eggs. Both were superb. K had one minor criticism of the hash browns in that they had cheese in top, feeling it added too many flavors and detracted from the truffle oil. Luckily, the cheese was not integrated into the dish and the topping was easily dispatched. For my part I'm not a truffle oil fan, feeling it's too heavy handed a flavoring. To me, this place just feels like home. And it's holding a special place in my heart. You see, I might not have told you, but my girlfriend of nine years broke up with me in October, met a very wealthy plastic surgeon while in New York for Thanksgiving, and is already moving to NY to move in with him. For context, I'd like to remind you that this is only December 31st and she's moving to New York for a guy she met just a month earlier! Devastating to me, to say the least, that after so long a time I was that easily replaceable in such a short amount of time. They are talking about marriage. (She'd better hurry up: Apparently he is in terrible shape and eats a terribly decadent diet...) Which reminds me of the decadent pies! Banana Cream, Coconut Cream and... Apple Cream! all of them exceptional. If you don't like cream pies, it's only because you haven't tried these cream pies. So many cream pies are dense, but these pies are almost like soufflés. Get the apple cream pie -- where else have you ever seen that on a menu? So K and I had finished our breakfast/lunches (we really do need a word for this sort of meal) and were waiting for our pie and coffee* talking about me getting off the dating apps because we agreed I needed to lick my wounds a bit more before "getting out there" again... when all of a sudden... A woman with a great smile and gorgeous curly hair comes in, places a take out order, and goes to the back of the restaurant to use the rest room while the order's being prepared. I look across the table at K "I need you to be my wingman. When that woman comes back this way I'm going to ask her out." K looked at me horrified and shook her head, "No, please don't do that, it won't end well." But my mind was made up. The woman comes back our way I hail her down. "Excuse me, I know this is kind of weird, but I got a good sense about you and I'd like to take you to coffee some time." The woman looked a bit confused, staring at my mortified ex-wife and probably wondering why a guy sitting with another woman was asking her out. I motioned to K, "Oh, her? She's just my ex-wife, don't worry about her." K rallied, "we're just discussing our kids. He's a good guy." Nonplussed, the woman gave me her number, excused herself, got her food and left. And that, my friends, is the magic of comfort food, and why this place is so dear to me. From my first visit I felt at home, both in spirit and in a culinary sense. The food and the atmosphere and staff are like a favorite chair and perfectly worn in slippers. It's like Cheers, but you get your own space. *Note: the coffee can be hit or miss depending on who makes it. Today was a miss. And what about the "she moves in slow motion while music plays" mystery woman? I texted her a few days later, letting her know that I'd understand if my ambush and situation were too weird. She texted back admitting it was a bit weird, and then texted "I'm gonna weird you back. Would you mind waiting till February?" That's intriguing, right? I'm thinking maybe she's a spy, or an assassin, or waiting for her divorce to come through... or...? The one month wait will be worth it to see that smile again. As for the restaurant, you come for the food -- you stay for the magic.

What a great place, and oh my gosh, the burgers! Not only were the burgers absolutely amazing the truffle fries I have never had a truffle fry as delicious as this. Bonus they serve breakfast all day and what a quirky and quaint place right on PCH! If you're in town, you definitely need to plan a visit here .

Gotta admit the first time I went here, I read the name wrong and thought I'll be served some roadkill but was really disappointed. Then I was even more disappointed when my food took 30 min to arrive and then even more disappointed when my waiter quit in the middle of the shift before putting in my desert. Overall a very bad experience but the food was ok I guess.

Dear Patrick's Roadhouse, the is my unrequited love letter to you. I visited your establishment for the first time last weekend and it was love at first sight and bite. Your staff was friendly, adorable, and just perfect, the coffee came in giant mugs (thank you for having milk alternatives), your portions massive, the pancakes perfect, and the space itself feels like magic. Tip to everyone, park across the street at Ginger Rodgers and then take the tunnel over.

Well, well, well. It seems karma is sweeter than the pie. The food was bad, the wait was long, and the owner is a giant piece of work who attacks any criticism rather than learning from it. Could've taken out the racist decor which made customers uncomfortable. He doubled down and insulted the customers. I've never been happy to see a restaurant close. Today I've made an exception. I'm downright giddy. Here's to you, Anthony, and a very merry just desserts.

So eclectic. The outside is just so interesting. Then the inside is even more odd. You wonder what exactly you just walked into and if you should turn around. DON'T! I promise. You can't possibly be disappointed. Everything we all ate was incredible. The service was slower, but they were incredibly kind. You can tell everything here was made from scratch and with high quality ingredients. GET THE BANANA CREAM PIE. EVERY. TIME. Anyway. It was unique, delicious and I can't wait to go back.

We had a great time here!! Had spent the morning at the beach and decided to make a reservation with google. We walked over and were seated at a great table in the outdoor covered area. The servers were friendly and helpful. They had delicious gluten free buns for my burger and the wasabi fries were delicious

After a lackluster dinner at the golden bull I headed here for dessert. Solid coconut cream pie and a cup of Joe.

Lots of eclectic props on the walls but don't let that deter you...the people and the food is amazing. The staff wants you to feel welcomed and happy with all your food...wow what a nice change Fish tacos are messy...but very good Smoothies is all fresh fruits Home made chips is a special touch Now to try the pies

Featured on the second episode of Diners, Drive-ins and drives! The historical importance of Patrick's can't be understated, it belongs right where it has sat forEVER!! Breakfast, breakfast, breakfast!!! Banana cream pie! Yum! This place reminds of a time in LA when you'd roll out bed hungover on a Sunday morning after clubbing at the strip the night before, head down to the beach for some great breakfast then a drive up the coast.

We have visited Patrick's a few times over the years and always had a memorable time for good reasons. Unfortunately today it was not a good experience. We arrived at 12:30 and had a wait for a table (although there were open tables). Took about 10-15 mins to place our order and another 20 mins for drinks to arrive. My coffee was tepid. About 30 mins later we could see our order under the heat lamps ... after another 5 mins my husband went in and offered to get the food for our table but the waitress said it was not our order. Another 10 mins went by and we finally saw her pick up the plates and bring them to our table. (* dirty dishes were also passed back to the kitchen under the heat lamps) The food was ok - the fried potatoes were not cooked and the fish over cooked. For 3 of us the bill was $100 excl tip and honestly we were disappointed in the experience and doubt if we'd go back.

"There are a very few amount of remaining authentic blue plate special American diners." Enjoyed an excellent patty melt with Swiss and tomato on toasted California sourdough bread including special house hash browns. Patrick's Roadhouse in Santa Monica--featured on SEASON 1 DIners, Drive-In, and Dives. If you want the best Around Palmer this is the place! The banana cream pie is extra delicious too.

This is best as an experience over the quality of food. It tasted fine (didn't seem as sanitary as I would like though, see below) and was a bit pricier than it's quality but I would recommend trying it once just for the setting. It's super quirky decorated including painting on ceilings and random collectibles collecting dust all over inside. Very very friendly service and lots of room to eat outside. Parking is not easy and will take a while to find during peak timing. I probably will be back to show people for the first time as an experience but not at busy times of the week or weekend. I just wish the food was better. I found a hair in my eggs and couldn't finish it.

BEWARE of the "Free Valet" ploy. I gave my keys to the attendant and got my stub from him indicating he would safely park the vehicle. 20 minutes later the waitress informed me that I got a $93.00 parking ticket for parking in a red zone. The valet never moved the car after I entered the restaurant. Although Patrick's compt. the dinner bill, which was only $57.00, I had to make up the balance because of their incompetence. Which makes it a $93.00 crappy hamburger. The valet even had the nerve to be looking for a tip after telling me he was too busy to park the car. Unreal. The food was mediocre at best. Under cook hamburger with soggy greasy fried. I have to replace my first drink because the glass was not rinsed properly and tasted like soap. The place is run down and looks like it's about to fall down due to all of the wood rot. The friendly staff made up from me rating this place a 1.

I really enjoy Patrick's Roadhouse for breakfast. It's pricey however, they deliver a solid breakfast and I enjoy the eclectic atmosphere. Somewhere to go a few times a year. Bagel Nosh is solid in Santa Monica for half the price. They play sports if you're a sports guy. I

Great Diner, fun, kitschy atmosphere. I love this place and always take people here who are in from out of town. It never disappoints. Recently went for my birthday and they give a free slice of pie for birthday celebrations! Can't recommend enough!

While you're definitely paying the LA tax of a cool place along the PCH + the tax of the place having been on diners, drive-ins & dives, this is still probably my favorite restaurants I went to during my time in LA. This quirky spot has parking up the road a bit in a lot. We were lucky to score a table outdoors, but honestly there is a surprising amount of seating for this little place. The service was outstanding. The waitress really knew the menu, was able to make great recommendations, and was just overall friendly. She also knew the names of all of the regulars, and welcomed them in or wished them well until next week. While there is no alcohol here, I did hear multiple different servers tell a couple different tables that they could BYOB. I think this is a nice feature as well. I ordered Eileen's crazy good omelette and had it served with garlic hashbrowns. The omelette was huge, but it was so tasty! They definitely stuffed it with toppings, and the toppings were all fresh and went really well together. While the garlic hashbrowns were good, I don't think that I would pay the four dollar up charge again to get some chopped garlic thrown on top of my hashbrowns. My husband had the bacon cheeseburger. He also paid for the garlic fries, and came to the same conclusion that I did. He said the burger was enjoyable, and I love that you can get breakfast and lunch at the same spot. If you're looking for somewhere to go in Santa Monica, I would definitely recommend Patrick's roadhouse. Like I said, it's probably my favorite place that I eat while we were here. I wish we could've gone again so I could've tried other things on the menu.

Mediocre. I really wanted to have a great experience here after my beach walk with my friend. We arrived at 9:30am and chose to sit outside (former sidewalk) . Service was -minus 1 star. Coffee is $6 for a regular black coffee. I ordered the Eggs Rancheros which arrived 30 minutes later and everything was cold. I didn't alert the staff because I didn't want to wait another 30 minutes. I was so hungry so I just ate it. My friend ordered an omelet, spinach and feta which was just okay. However my friend told me their burgers, fries and pies are good! If you want to sit on Arnold Schwarzenegger's chair, sit inside. His chair is called The Terminator Chair. I never want to come back here again. The quality of our breakfast was less than a Denny's. My Rancheros cost $20. My friend's omelet was $18. Coffee was $6. They have valet parking, but since we walked, I don't know the cost of the valet.

Food is sooooo yummy here !!! I haven't had anything I didn't love !!!! Service is awesome and it's just a staple !!!! Don't miss out on breakfast here !!! Delicious

This restaurant has history. It looks like a cross between an antique store and a bar. Dad opened it and now adult children run it. Son looks just like his dad did 20 years ago. Come taste American history. Auguri / Enhorabuena / Congratulations from all of us at www.mbhimmigration.com and WhatsApp +19175479312 max@mbhimmigration.com

I've had this place on my list for YEARS, so I was excited to check it out as soon as the dining room reopened during the pandemic. Fortunately there's plenty of parking (including an overflow lot up the street), but it wasn't very busy on a Wednesday anyway. I love the whole "vibe" of the place, and there's tons to look at outside, but when I arrived and they asked if I wanted patio seating, I asked if I could sit inside so I could absorb the atmosphere. They're keeping plenty of space between diners, so they sat me at a booth right by the (open) front door. (Note: The wooden booths are pretty small, so don't feel bad if you don't fit!) 5 STARS FOR AMBIANCE If you like a lot of old stuff to look at, with a little bit of an Irish flair, this place is for you! It certainly was for me. I could spend all day looking at the quirky signs, antiques, artwork, fish skeletons, chandeliers, Wizard of Oz bric-a-brac, dinosaurs, and roadside Americana. 5 STARS FOR COVID SAFETY PROTOCOLS Masks, social distancing, gloves, good ventilation, the whole shebang. 5 STARS FOR SERVICE There were two servers keeping tabs on me the entire time and making sure I had everything I needed, including offering me a wifi password when they saw I was working on a laptop. They kept the Diet Cokes coming, too, and that's always the key to my heart. 4 STARS FOR FOOD I LOVED the breakfast sandwich (basically a BLT with scrambled eggs and avocado), which I got on sourdough. The eggs were freshly cracked and not from a carton mix, and the bacon was perfectly crispy and salty. The sandwich was hearty and generously packed without being overstuffed. Just perfect. I ordered fries instead of the breakfast potatoes, and I didn't love them. They're housemade and the seasoning was nice, but they were just way too undercooked/floppy/soggy for my taste. That might've been my fault for ordering fries so early in the day or for not asking for them "extra crispy" or "well done." So this is really 4.75 stars out of 5.

Great service from Tracy and Ilan. My first time in, so asked Tracy for a recommendation. She said it's wild caught Atlantic cod for both beer batter fish n chips and fish tacos. Beef is 100% angus for burgers and NY strip steaks. Coffee is low acidity organic. Very thorough explanation of how everything is prepared and garnished. I got the Chimichurri burger with chile-lime fries. Really tasty! The coffee was the best I've had in a casual diner, and very nice my servers offered me coffee to-go since I liked it. I have 3 friends in the area, so will definitely return to try the fish n chips and homemade pies, especially banana cream which you don't see often unless you're on Gilligan's Island. Looking forward to seeing you again Tracy! Edit: if the phone number on the website (310) 459-4544 doesn't answer, call the one here on Yelp (424) 231-4765.

Just an amazing different vibe, friendly, tasty fresh food. Exciting on Hwy 1. Oldies music. The chips served gratis were delicious crash made. The waitstaff said salad dressings not made there but fooled me, yummy blue cheese. GIANT Portion fish n chips. A surprise gormet dinner salad with the fish n actually homemade fries. Excel LARGE mug of ice tea. And the piece de resistance. Banana cream pie. The base was heavenly thick with bananas in middle, piled with whipped cream and lucky sprinkles. I'm smiling. FYI 30 dirt bikes quads doing wheelies non helmeted down HWY 1 while we ate.

If you're in the area, visit Patrick's. Great food, quirky fun place with a long time interesting history. They start you off with homemade potato chips! Santa Monica Chicken Salad had perfectly grilled moist chicken. The pancake combo was fantastic. Save room for the banana cream pie!!! Air BnB is upstairs!!! Rooms are nice, with or without kitchen. Room without the kitchen still had fridge and microwave. Stay there and tou get meal credit for restaurant. Win win!!! Right across from the beach. Only drawback is parking. Do not park in front. Those are for Chevron next door. You will be towed. Parking right down the street, limited spaces. Once those are used, $15 to park. Not bad parking rate for location. Plan on staying longer, cross the street and hang out at the beach. Make a day of it.

I love this place when I visit the beach. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food always makes a good visit.

A friend of mine turned me into Patrick's Roadhouse. It had good food, fantastic customer service, and sixties Caribbean beach vibes. It was fun. The only negative was the bathroom was one to avoid.

We are in LA for a few days, and we were looking to grab a quick bite. Stopped by Patrick's Roadhouse... it was awesome! Our sever was Tracey (I hope I spelled it right), great service!! The food was delicious. I think everything is homemade. I had a burger and hand cut fries, my husband had street tacos. My burger was obviously hand pressed and very good, so were the fries. My husband loved his tacos too! She brought us some homemade potato chips to munch on while we waited. I also loved the decor! Weird and different, right up my alley... If you're driving by there... stop. You'll be glad you did

One of those places you always pass by. Definitely worth a visit. Have all day breakfast. Got the pancake combo. It was so delicious and so much food. Very dog friendly. Fun quirky decor

What a great breakfast! Kayla was one of our servers and went above and beyond breakfast service . Didn't even ask ! they offer to go beyond for you. I had a short stack with applewood smoked bacon , large portions took half home. He had scramble with tomatoes mushrooms turkey sausage and hash browns . I tried his browns and they were very tasty and a very large portion . The coffee was amazing and Kayla offered to filly cocoa with decaf for a mocha. A group of LA's finest was dining and when they left , they gave a shout out to Kayla from PCH on their bike radios. Truly a cool tribute . Metered Parking is in Entrada or free behind Patrick's . Don't park out front this belongs to the chevron station . Lots of fun kitchy things to look at while you dine. A Santa Monica Original !

LOVE this place! The burgers are off the chain! And the view is priceless! The staff and owners are always super nice and welcoming!

The best burger in Los Angeles by far I have had burgers all over town and this is BY FAR the best in the business. Their consistency is exquisite, which stands as testament to how much they care. There is pure, true LOVE in these meals and it shows. The ingredients are always fresh and the construction of every burger is so daring yet firm. Do yourself a favor and go for the Pot of Gold burger. It is their specialty along with their famous banana creme pie.

One of the best burgers I've ever had from a restaurant. Service was great! I definitely am going back!

We had a nice evening when our original dinner plans fell through. A very eclectic, cute restaurant with very friendly staff and tasty food. We had burgers, which we enjoyed, and the fries/sweet potato fries were great as well. I would definitely be willing to try other things from this spot. Service did take a touch longer than we would have liked, but it was fine since we didn't have anywhere to be afterwards. Not too bad though, and again, the staff was really great, couldn't ask for nicer folks. The only actual con I would say is that we weren't able to park anywhere because the front lot is for Chevron, and the back lot that says it's for Patrick's didn't allow us to park back there (the attendants said it's valet parking only). We did find a spot on the street luckily, but next time I'd probably call ahead to ask about that back lot. Anywho, recommended if you're looking for a unique spot to dine near the beach with tasty food, cozy & eclectic ambiance, and friendly staff! :)

Truly amazing food. Personal preference = the major seafood offerings. Went there three times on this Santa Monica visit. The wait staff is wonderful. Environment/decor unprepossessing, with its funky, distinctive charm. Patio seating is great.

I was having a pretty bad day and then me and some of my friends decided to make a trip down to the beach, my cousin Giovanni recommended this place and while hesitant we decided to give it a shot. Upon arrival we marveled at the glorious atmosphere. I ordered a grilled chicken melt which was fantastic, but the most glorious part of the night came when the lovely waitress offered if we wanted a slice of pie I was again hesitant as I have never tried a banana pie and wouldn't see myself enjoying it. As soon as it was brought out and I took a bite and I took a glance at my friend then my cousin and we all looked at each other in disbelief, we questioned ourselves but ultimately concluded that this was the best pie we had ever tried. The pie was so creamy and the bananas toppings and filling really brought it all together. The breading was like the Lord himself gave instructions on how to make it. In that moment when me and my companions glanced at each other I felt a sense of togetherness it brought me back to my childhood when my single mother would come home and bake me and my siblings a nice fresh pie. Ecclesiastes 9:7

My partner and I went to Patrick's Roadhouse last year to celebrate a birthday. Let's start with the location... It's in a GREAT spot right on Pacific Coast Highway and across from the beach. The parking lot was good and right next to the restaurant. We were greeted right away by the staff. They were very friendly and attentive the whole time we were there. As for the ambiance, there is a lot of cool memorabilia on the walls which will draw you in. We chose to sit on the patio which was nicely shaded. The food was FANTASTIC and the prices were reasonable. Overall, it was a great experience. I would DEFINITELY recommend Patrick's Roadhouse.

We enjoyed a fabulous breakfast this past week at Patrick's Roadhouse! First of all, the parking lot across the street is very convenient. We wanted to dine al fresco overlooking the Pacific Ocean which was possible. The decorations are totally fun to see! Meanwhile, our omelets were fantastic. My husband got the chili omelet and it was large so we have leftovers. He said it was even better the next day. I got the Elaine omelet which had my favorite ingredients and it was excellent accompanied by potatoes and an English muffin. I had leftovers as well which I enjoyed for two more days. Our server, Katrina, was friendly and professional. She was helpful and brought us accompaniments too such as hot sauce and catsup. We can't wait to go back. Highly recommended!

I told the amazing waitress Tracy that I was looking for a beer and a burger. Unfortunately they don't sell alcohol, but the store next door does.... The burger was awesome and I am happy I only got the single because it was massive. Not too big where it falls apart on you though. It was juicy and the veggies on it were fresh.

It's in the neighborhood, but we've only eaten there once. Because... how can you mess up pancakes?!? It would be one star, but I added an extra star because the garish exterior makes it a great landmark when giving people directions.

I recently took my two young boys and they immediately fell in love . Great service , devyn and kaila treated us like family, I was on daddy day care duty and the staff really treated me and my little dudes right !!! The chocolate pancakes and omelette were amazing. I wish I lived closer so we can make Patricks and those chocolate pancakes part of our weekend routine .
