Social Profile:

As seen on Food Network’s Diners Drive-Ins & Dives, and Travel Channel’s Food Paradise. And Voted Best Roadside Diner in the USA by the Food network Since 1973, Great American classics done right! Voted Best Diner in the USA by iHeartRadio. Voted best roadside diner in California on the Food Network. Named the Poor Man’s Getty Museum by the LA Times. Located at the mouth of Santa Monica Canyon on Pacific Coast Highway ocean views and wonderful All American Fair. Founded by a World war II vet in 1973 who loved antiques and Great American food. But be careful he became famous for banishing people who wouldn’t wait for fresh food to be made to order. We serve four generations of our local families, friends and neighbors.

Patrick’s roadhouse is a wonderful place to hang out and eat. The decor is very kitchy. Everywhere you look for some thing interesting to see. They have an extremely broad menu. They have whole day breakfast menu with amazing variety. They have over a dozen different burgers to sample. The burgers are delicious. My wife had the avocado burger which was amazing. I had the fish and chips which was delicious. We also had the kettle chips which were awesome. However, the best was the banana cream pie!!!!

Tracey was our server. She is friendly and delightful and a pleasure to talk to. Before we left we met Jose, who has been a cook there for 40 years!

It is right off the Pacific house highway in Santa Monica with street level news of the beach. I would recommend you eating there for a nice casual friendly meal!

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.

terrible food, I had a burger with the chili lime fries and it was very disappointing.

The owner responded to my review from when I dined there last year with a lie claiming I asked to use the restroom without dining there, so i’m updating the review now. I have the credit card charge to show that I dined there. I can’t imagine how insane the owner must be to lie like this on reviews regularly. No wonder it’s closed, hope it stays that way if this is how they act. Stay away.

Attached a photo I took from inside while I was dining so that this crazy owner has to own up to their lies. Also attached their accusation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Super chill and cool vibe here! Their house margaritas were great (by my standards), and the service was very special and made us feel at home. There is so much history to see and experience, that this relaxed environment is not for anyone who’s in a rush. Enjoy the atmosphere and the savor the food. A+ for me.

Great little historic place with lots of nick naks. Family owned and has been around for 50 years. The atmosphere was amazing. The server and owner were really nice and friendly. Prices seemed a little high for a diner, but whats not expensive now and this is LA. A definite visit.

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.
