Patty Daddy's

Patty Daddy's is a family‑run hamburger joint tucked into the heart of Mahomet, Illinois, on Eastwood Drive just a few minutes from the Champaign‑Urbana campus. Founded by local entrepreneur Jonathan Borba, the restaurant greets guests with a retro‑styled neon sign and a welcoming interior of reclaimed wood tables, vintage burger‑parlor booths, and a wall of local sports memorabilia. The menu centers on handcrafted burgers, from the signature Daddy‑Deluxe—an Angus‑blend patty topped with smoked cheddar, caramelized onions, crisp lettuce, and a house‑made garlic‑aioli—down to the Mahomet Classic, a simple beef patty, pickles, tomato, and mustard on a toasted brioche bun. Side offerings include hand‑cut sweet‑potato fries, onion rings, and a rotating selection of seasonal salads. Breakfast tacos and milkshakes are also on the roster for late‑morning cravings. Prices range from $8 for a basic burger to $12 for premium combos, making it an affordable spot for students and families alike. Patty Daddy's stays open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 am – 9 pm, with a limited Friday‑Saturday brunch menu from 11 am – 2 pm. The casual atmosphere, free Wi‑Fi, and a small outdoor patio overlooking the quiet residential street make it a popular hangout for locals, university crowds, and road‑trippers. Take‑out and curbside service are available, and the restaurant accepts both cash and major credit cards. For catering or private events, the owner can arrange a custom burger bar in the back dining area.
