Pat’s Restaurant was a big deal in Niceville, Florida in the mid ‘70’s. There weren’t very many places to eat in Niceville. There was a Diary Queen and an A&W Root-beer stand where I ate my first pizza and wasn’t terribly overwhelmed by it. But when you really wanted to eat big you went to Pat’s. More than one Sunday after church when Brother Dennis would finish preaching it seemed as if the entire church would get into a mad rush to go to Pat’s.
