Great food and great service. This was my first experience with eating here. The building is a bit run down but I think it adds to the charm. I’m a bit nostalgic like that. I had the P.I. Burger and my wife had the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. The burger was nothing short of amazing. Very fresh and tasted like it was cooked on an open flame...and it’s huge. The Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was fantastic. The chicken texture was perfect and the sauce was smooth, not gritty and the taste was bright and fresh, not too rich. Overall, I’d highly rate this place. Looking forward to now making this our regular pit stop as my wife and I travel out west.

Whether you're coming here for lunch, dinner or even breakfast. This is a great place to stop! I have been coming here for years and the food has always been fantastic. The servers are always friendly and willing to accommodate diet restrictions. The portion sizes are massive! I often find I have leftovers to take home. My favorite part about the restaurant is that it has an all day breakfast menu. I would highly recommend the French toast with strawberries and whipped cream. You have to try the cheesecake! It's the world's best by far. If you want to watch the sports games, check out the Sports Lounge in the other half of the building!

This is one of the best places to eat in Dryden. I have been coming here for over a decade and the food has always been top notch. Lucy the owner takes a lot of pride in her business and it shows. The staff there are really friendly and always smiling. The food is mainly made from scratch. The portions are huge and a great value for the money. If you’re a big eater or hungry worker this is the perfect place to go. The restaurant doesn’t serve drinks but you can go to the bar side and still order food from the menu. It’s the perfect place to come and unwind. The deserts are homemade and I highly recommend the cheese cake! Cheers guys

What a great experience! Wonderful people run the bar and restaurant. I wish I could remember names. We were passing through the area having never been, and from the moment we walked in to the time that we left, we were treated like beloved friends. Food was great. Conversation was great. If we ever make it through this part of Canada again, we'll definitely return.

Fantastic French Fries. We were driving through and the Patricia Inn was well reviewed so we stopped for lunch. Stopping for lunch is the only thing I can recommend doing in Dryden. Friendly staff and good food at decent prices.

We dropped by on a busy Sunday noon for brunch. The restaurant is a family run favourite, and as usual the food was amazing. The poutine was divine, drowning in gravy and mozza cheese. The fish fillets were super crispy and delicious! And the cherry on top, the millionaire pie was tha Bomb! And here I thought nothing could top their famous giant cheesecake slices. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. Will be coming back for more
