Combined with "old potatoes," which are the day's home fries, deep-fried and returned to the flattop with onions and seasonings mixed in, it is a rich and filling start to the day!"

Patty's is not a large place by any means.  There are approximately a dozen counter seats and six four-tops on the other side of the dividing wall.  If you look closely you can see the side of ham just to the right of the rear doorway.
