Stopped in for dinner. We managed to beat the dinner rush. Staff was very friendly answering it questions before ordering. Decided on party burger, kids plain burger, double chipotle burger, garlic fries, and chili cheese fries. For came out fairly quick. My kid liked it alot as he just sat and ate, no talking or goofing around. Patty Burger was good. Chipotle Burger was good but for me could have been little spicier. Chili fries were awesome. Garlic fries also very good. Debated on a milkshake as it looked good but didn’t think I had room and I was right, next time. The owner came by and talked with us for a bit. Overall cool vibe, friendly staff and great food. Wish they would extend happy hour for like 30 mins cause I can’t make it in time after work.

Patty’s Diner is a total gem! Since it’s so close to my job, I can already tell this is going to be a frequent pit stop for me.
The vibe here is incredible—I loved the imagery and the bright, popping colors. It truly feels like you’re dining in a real old-school diner, but with a perfect modern touch. They even have great old-timey music playing, which really completes that nostalgic atmosphere!
The food was just as good as the decor. I highly recommend the Double Oklahoma Smash Burger; it was perfectly seasoned, and the Birthday Cake milkshake was the ultimate treat. My fiancé went with the Single Mushroom Burger and a Peanut Butter shake, and we shared the Patty’s Smash Loaded Fries, which were the highlight of the table.
If you want amazing food in a stunning, nostalgic setting with the perfect soundtrack, this is the spot!

I thought the place was cute so I read the menu. I thought hmm this looks interesting and came inside placed my order and sat at the bar top. The owner greeted me and helped me with my order number sign. Very nice young woman. I ordered the burger bowl with sparkling water . I’m kind of on a diet. It was beyond my expectations. The burger was so well seasoned and the sauce was perfect. Usually the sauce is too much ketchup but this one was just right. I didn’t miss the burger bun because this was such a delicious and filling salad. I’ll be back for sure to try it with a bun.

Overall: overpriced for the portion size, small portion sizes across the menu, average-mediocre food quality, and lacking service.
Price and portion:
The portion sizes of the food were incredibly small considering how much is being charged. Items like burgers don’t come with fries, they are ordered separately are also expensive for a tiny portion. Our group of 4 people who don’t even eat that much ended up going elsewhere afterwards still being hungry. The hotdog is perhaps the smallest I have ever seen at a restaurant. Everything comes out on tiny cardboard side dish sized containers, not even baskets, which ends up making a mess. They either need to adjust portion sizes and include sides to justify the prices or just lower prices across the board, you’re just paying for the atmosphere. The atmosphere is ok but just a cheap imitation for social media attention.
Food quality:
The majority of our food was fairly bland. My mushroom burger was hardly seasoned, with only a very faint taste of salt. The caramelized onions were burnt and not caramelized, some parts either bright white or charred black, not an even golden sweet brown. The garlic fries are pretty decent, crispy and flavorful thanks to the cheese and garlic. The milkshake was also good, with real chunks of fruit. But everything else was incredibly underwhelming and disappointing in relation to the price, wait time, and atmosphere.
Service:
There’s no system for seating, you go up to the counter to order and just awkwardly wait for seats to open up. Cashiers and servers don’t even let you know if space opens up, I get they maybe don’t have to but it would be nice considering the type of ordering system it is. The server only bought out our food, there are utensils at the front but no one made us aware, so we assumed the server would come out with utensils for menu items that clearly needed them. The front cashier also never made us aware that sides are separate, and it’s not clearly stated on the menu either, which is ridiculous for a diner environment. The server spent the majority of the time watching a soccer game on the TV instead of checking on patrons and asking what they needed. Tipping is also pretty egregious, starting at 18-30% presets on the cashier screen, I bring this up cause they only take your order and bring it to you, no other service provided. No one was ever rude, just incredibly disinterested and non-present.
I absolutely would not return without considerable adjustments, primarily to the food portions, quality, and pricing. Hopefully they will iron out these flaws, but in the meantime I would not go back. I know they’re not advertising a genuine diner experience but the facade is frustrating when you have certain expectations of a diner. Diner food is meant to be accessible in price for a big hearty plate, not expensive a la carte options.

Tried this place at the recommendation of a friend… absolutely delicious. I got a mushroom smash burger and would eat that everyday if I could… so good!
Solid soda selection, fries and onion rings delicious. Definitely coming back sooner than later.

The cutest and best burger spot around!! This place is so full of charm. The retro diner vibe instantly pulls you in—it honestly feels like stepping into a colorful cartoon. The space is fun, nostalgic, and thoughtfully designed, with cozy booths, barstools, and a large TV that makes it a great spot to hang out or catch a game.
The food is just as good as the atmosphere. The burgers and fries are fresh, local, and incredibly delicious. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. Everything feels made with care, and it’s easily the best burger spot around.
The owners and staff are incredibly welcoming and kind, which makes the experience even better. You feel taken care of the moment you walk in. Between the amazing food, great vibes, and warm hospitality, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!!

If you’re craving a true old-school diner experience with seriously good smash burgers, Patty’s Diner is the spot. From the moment you walk in, the retro vibes, black-and-white floors, and pink accents make it fun, cozy, and perfect for families.
I ordered the Mushroom Smash – Oklahoma style, and wow. The patty was thin, crispy on the edges, juicy in the middle, and packed with flavor. The melted cheese and mushrooms were the perfect combo, all tucked into a soft, fresh bun. Every bite tasted like it came straight off a classic flat top.
The fries were hot just right, and the onion rings were golden, crunchy, and not greasy at all. You can tell everything is made with care.
Friendly service, fast food times, and a great atmosphere. Whether you’re coming with friends, your partner, or the kids, it’s a place you’ll want to come back to again.
Highly recommend – already looking forward to my next visit ❤️ ✨

Food was tasty but not up to diner portion standard, be aware you should order extra. It’s also worth noting the fries are what most restaurants would call a side of fries rather than a sharable basket. Overall the value proposition is questionable.
Seating and service timelines are something they are going to have to improve if they plan on making a go of this long term. We waited for 40 minutes for 2 burgers and fries. In that time we watched 4-5 groups simply give up and leave due to lack of seating.
Hopefully these are hiccups they will get ironed out.

I don’t wanna talk ad nauseum about the lousy customer service when nothing really changes. There gotta be a basic difference between the time it takes to make a Milk Shake and the time it takes to make and serve a full meal. But the Milkshake ( MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ) was to die for.
