Granted, it was in the heat of the summer and a hot/muggy day, but it is worth noting. The service was amazing! They take very good care of you when you are dining in. The food was good, but not great. I thought the red sauce was a little off and not super rich in flavor. The salad was just run of the mill iceberg lettuce so nothing special. The house dressing tasted pretty good, but I had to add some of their parmesan cheese to help spruce up the salad. The garlic bread was tasty but overall the meal was a bit of a bust sadly. Would go back to try the amazing looking pizza though.

Anyway so I get to the counter and see a worker cutting a pizza in the back, I'm thinking score! Fresh breakfast pizza, wrong. She brings out a sausage and pepperoni at 9am. So I ask do you have any breakfast pizza, she says no, I have a sausage and pepperoni, so I ask do you have one coming out soon? This is where it gets good, she gives me a pissed off look, rolls her eyes, and tells me she barely had time to get this one done! (Well maybe you should have barely had time to get a breakfast pizza done ‍) Ok... so I ask do you have anything else breakfast wise? As I'm eyeballing the container of sausage patties right behind her, and I again get an eye roll, and a snarky Nope! Ok so 1. Rude 2. Who the heck makes lunch pizza at 9am? 3.

Large menu but not a lot of healthy options, ended up with buffalo chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. Sandwich was good but fries were a little underwhelming. They messed up my son in laws chicken meal as for some reason they thought he ordered fried pork chops instead. They brought him some fries while he waited fir a chicken sandwich as it was going to take too long to get fried chicken. They did comp his meal but still he had to wait for another 10 minutes or so for food. Overall an average experience but at least they owned up to the mistake and treated him fairly.

First time...so went withh the sampler at $18 and most of their meats are included except the pork steak (makes sense to me since that's usually a separate feature in these parts along with Kentucky). It was three of us and we were given the heads up that the sampler can feed two. Figured we could start with that and order more. The order was a very generous helping of two large rib tips, two pork rib bones, two wing pieces, and pulled chicken, pork, and chopped brisket. Our choice of two sides were slaw and mac & cheese. Three buns were thrown in given the three of us in the party (thanks for the flex). Local bottled Big Muddy root beer is the same $1.50 as the can sodas in the case and it is made with honey and cane sugar. Of the things I tried, I thought the rib tips were excellent - smoked pink and moist - got a meaty piece with only a small piece of cartilage. The chopped brisket isn't my thing - I prefer sliced. My daughter said the ribs were great (figured would be as good as the tips). The wings I believe were smoked too rather than grilled and the taste from the rub/marinade wasn't something I was familiar with. Tender and not dry. Pulled pork and chicken were solid. We still had leftovers - so I'll get my chance to try the ribs and focus on the flavor of the wing. Will have to get the pork steak next time and order plates next time focusing on our faves. Roomy dining area with some tables near the windows. It was getting warm out there so having plenty of indoor seating on a quieter Thursday lunch was welcome over overflow seating outside at the covered picnic tables.

Oh - and the food is usually fine, except no fried okra. Pat's is not in a city. It's outside a small southern Illinois town. Pretty far outside, in fact, which is where true BBQ is supposed to be located. The parking lot is gravel. The only pickups there belong to customers, and their worth is more in the range of $12,000, except to their owners, who use them as trucks. And the sign is a sign. It tells you where you are. Oh, wait - there are BBQ competition trophies in the entryway. Stand and marvel. There are more inside. Marvel more. Because other than these and some pics of family and locals and celebrities I didn't recognize on the walls, that's about it for decoration. Stare at the menu, menu board and signs. Pay attention to the happy person behind the counter when she tells you what they're out of, because the best BBQ places are out of something you want. Note the teasing banter between local customers and the kitchen staff, because everyone knows someone back there. And order. We got the pulled pork plate. My sister got potato salad and green beans. I got the fries. I got the local(?) root beer. They don't do fried okra, but this IS the Midwest. It all came to our table in a reasonable amount of time. The BBQ sauce came in a cup on the side. Ketchup was brought to us. So why only four stars? Everything was perfect, right? And prizewinning? Yeah, but BBQ is personal. Everyone has an opinion. I lived in northern Alabama, which styles itself as BBQ Country. As does Texas and Kansas City and Memphis and everywhere. Pat's, much beloved by regulars for its mild smokiness, juicy juicy soft texture and other features, seemed a bit too mild and even soggy to me. I know - I have no taste. And it was good. Just not five stars great. And not enough sauce in the container, though I could have gotten up to ask for more. And the potato salad was fine and the fries a little too starchy, but only a little. That said, the beans were the wonderful dark green juicy soft salty ones that are too ... wonderful. Get those. The root beer, brewed with honey, y'all, was the best ever. Get that, too. The dessert was what they were out of, dang it! Overall the experience was just great. Someplace to go back to. And you should go there.

Lately I've been stopping and I don't know if it's a new crew or what, but they are lazy. The warmers are always off and empty. And the lights are off and doors are locked by 9:50. The website says this location doesn't close until 10. 10 is when you should be cleaning up the store and shutting down the warmers, because of people that have to work night shift. Why close down early? Just because you don't want to stay past 10. Management needs to fix this problem.
