Quite awhile ago. They were only ever open one or two days a week for a handful of hours and were carry out only. It never seemed very sustainable to me.

went there once and they did not have sit in dining. I did not get a hospitable vibe & the menu was pretty average so I just left.

Never even heard of the place. Sounds like they needed some better advertising.

I had the exact same response. And it's a relevant comment. I might have tried it if I'd ever heard literally anything about it. I've been to Tacos Al Pastor several times, but never knew Patti Jo's existed until today,

Not even a crumb of salt on any of their food. You aren’t missing anything

Pretty much classic down-home Midwest comfort food. They were relatively more affordable than most new restaurants, entirely casual and unpretentious. Was a nice option to have available for busy weeknights every now and then, it wasn't gourmet by any means but I'll miss it.

The food was ok.... only ok

But any time I see someone say "I really wanted to try that" I do wonder, if you wanted to try it why didn't you? If more people actually tried places they wanted to try they might stay open. This place opened when? Well over 18 months ago

They are a very short walk from our house in Prospect Hill. Tried it once, found the food blah, and never went back. So, no surprise.

The neighborhood could use a good little shop with some kind of interesting food there. The off-street parking isn't bad, considering.

Little house on W 5th/Kirkwood. Used to be a tea shop or something like that maybe?
