Patti's 1880's Restaurant

Patti's 1880's Restaurant
Grand Rivers, Livingston County
Land Between the Lakes

We visited Patti's in early January while it was still decorated for the holidays.


Inside the restaurant is a rather extensive gift shop.

You can purchase home decor, toys, t-shirts, Christmas ornaments.

You can also buy signature food items like homemade pies, bread, & candy.

Christmas decorations inside the restaurant were both beautiful and whimsical.

















The best part of Patti's, however, is the food.  We started our meal with a huge salad and Patti's signature flower pot bread.

Two-inch pork chops are the specialty here, but we opted for one-inch chops.  Hands down the best pork chops I've ever had!

Henry Wooldridge had these statues made and positioned around his grave in Maplewood Cemetery.  Enshrined here are Henry (2 statues), his mother, four brothers, three sisters, two nieces, his horse, his two favorite hunting dogs, a deer, and a fox.  Only Henry Wooldridge is actually buried here.
