Came in for a late lunch. The waitress was very helpful. I had the mushroom and Swiss burger. I should have visited the place sooner. Really good food. I came back in the evening. It got busy. The service was better on my first visit.

We always go here when in Lakota, IA, where my son lives. The Patriot is a great place to imbibe & dine, and if your car gets side swiped while there, Nick's Auto Body is just down the street!!!!!
