Pretty bummed! I drove 2 hours to come try this spot since posts on social media looked good. We got the three meat plate and 2/3 meats were border line inedible and clearly from the end of the piece of meat. The ribs were some of the smallest ribs I have seen (after the 6 dollar up charge) and the brisket was mainly bark with a huge piece of unrendered fat in the middle. The sides and tri tip were good though. read more

Please pleaseee bring back your nachos! I know you're leaning into the bbq now, but my husband and I came every other week for the brisket nachos alone. We love Old Town Patio so much! The service, drink prices and live music are unbeatable. Everything is delicious every time we come. You have a few bar food options still on your menu and we would be so happy if you added the nachos back! They're technically bbq nachos. ;) Thank you! We just stopped by for dinner and we'll see you in a couple weeks! read more

I've been in El Segundo for a while now and have never been to nor heard of old town patio until this year. My understanding is that there has been a major revamp and now it's becoming the happening spot. My #1 reason to come here is the food! Omg best bbq in town. If you haven't had the brisket yet, that's a must! But everything else is delicious too. They are now my fave breakfast burrito place. Sad part is that they only make them on Sundays, but I know where I want to be for a bomb breakfast burrito and football! The pic is of their pork belly + bacon breakfast burrito. Totally a 15 out of 10! Yum! Only downside is that it's beer/wine/seltzer only. But if you're good with that, come check them out. They have comedy nights, live music and sports. Staff's friendly and attentive. Seems like younger crowd and family outside (picnic style benches and big tv with stage) and older crowd inside, I'm assuming the OG regulars. It's a good time. Come check them out and for sure get some food!!! read more

I work in El Segundo and tried Old Town Patio at the urging of a colleague who, like me, can't get enough of Adam Perry Lang's BBQ pop-ups. Lang's BBQ is hands-down the best in L.A., but this surprising place is smoking-up some of the best Q in the SoBay. Walk past the rather non-descript facade and you'll find yourself in a homey bar that's heavy on the wood. Out back, there's a spacious patio- perfect for bringing the puppy along. TVs aplenty. But, you're not here for the ambience. You're here for Pitmaster Dave Williamson's BBQ. You won't be disappointed. The jalapeño cheese sausages here are among the best I've had at any BBQ joint in CA or elsewhere. The chili is absolutely packed with smoked brisket. On another occasion, I had a very good grilled cheese and brisket sandwich. I have every intention of trying every single item on the menu. Prices are low for the quality. Two recommendations to the owners: add a 1,2, or 3-meat combo and ribs to the menu. The sandwiches are good, but the smoked and grilled meats really can stand on their own. In the meantime, order the grilled cheese sandwich and add brisket, pork, chicken thighs, and brisket on the side to create your own 4-meat sampler. Deliciousness. Helen and Scarlett will deliver service with a smile. There's ample free parking on the street. Beer and wine only. Bon Appétit! read more

Summary: This is the spot! They've done a fantastic job with the revamp. Great casual vibe, with an excellent back patio space for live music and watching sports while enjoying fantastic barbeque paired with a cold beer or other beverage. I highly recommend the grilled cheese with brisket and the corn dip, and trying all of the different sauces (BBQ and other). Only opportunities for improvement are need for more serving staff on busy nights and more craft beer options on tap (tons of mainstream choices though). This is a great dining experience on the far South end of downtown. Keep it up OTP! read more

I ate at old town patio for the first time last week. I understood it had been redone, so I did not know what to expect. We went through the bar, which was very cool out to the patio area. It was a gorgeous day and people were there having a great time. There were sports on the TV. There were a lot of families and children hanging out. A friend and I shared a salad an appetizer, and it was delicious ice cold beer was great. Service was very attentive. I look forward to trying it again very soon.

I wanted to love this place! I was so excited to try their bbq plate, the big Dawg. The ribs were tender but over seasoned , tri tip, brisket and chicken was over cooked or had been sitting too long. Not warm in the slightest and bland and dry. Is there way to serve it warm? Sides were ok. Vibe is fun. Need better beer selection! No local beer on tap? And I love a live musician and appreciate what they do but that guy was terrible. I'll give it another try and hopefully sandwich and burger is better. read more

The service was abominable here, we sat down as a table of 2 only getting a side and a small entree and while they brought our food out fast we then proceeded to never see our server again. the place is small and we had only 1 other table to compete with. I understand a large party sat down near us but never checking in on us and having to fiscally chase down the waiter to ask for a check was just ridiculous with the amount of times we tried to signal anyone over. The pulled pork was really good and they gave me a rack of bbq sauce to try it with but the famous Mac and cheese they praise on their menu is in our opinions very bad and would be better if they didn't drown it in almost unmelted American cheese. All in all a very bad experience. read more

I really love this place and am excited for the new direction and remodel, but I think the new owners would be remiss to not incorporate some of the old decor into the new environment. Where is the El Segundo eye chart? Why aren't there any beer signs on the wall? It feels too sterile and unwelcoming unfortunately. I was disappointed to find that some of the charm from the original decor wasn't included with the remodel. I hope management will reconsider some of their decor decisions and find a happy medium between the western vibe and the original Patio charm! read more

I use to love to go here with my buddy and have a big dog beer for $6.25. But the last few times have been terrible by how the staff and customers have been treating us. We're just trying to sit down enjoy our beers and not get hassled but sure enough we get hassled. First Lady was super drunk serving us and giving us an Attitude and then the next lady serving us got so angry and demanded a tip and confronted us. By the way this is a cash only bar and we only had cash for the beer. She got so angry that she told the whole bar and her friends that they came up to us and started getting angry and wanting to fight. So unprofessional..... we will not be coming back here. read more

Specialties

Tucked in the heart of Downtown El Segundo, Old Town Patio has been a neighborhood classic since 1987. In 2025, it’s been lovingly restored to its former glory and reintroduced as the go-to spot for authentic BBQ, live music, and ice-cold beer.

History

Established in 1986.

Old Town Patio has been the South Bay’s favorite backyard since 1986. Made for sunny afternoons, that stretch into golden evenings. Whether you're here for a crisp beer, a loaded brisket sandwich, or a refreshing salad under the open sky, this is your daily dose of sunshine and good vibes.

The sauce is a little sweet, and no one at my table thought it was as amazing as they claim. Don't get me wrong, they have good crunch and all that, but they end up being almost $3.00 a wing. I got the simmzys burger that's kinda like a smash burger. I didn't love the texture of the meat. I don't know what grind they are using, but it felt like a cheaper grind. It had some bits that were chewy. My husband had the other burger and he thought the same. Didn't love the meat. The fries are thin and you can mix with sweet potato fries which is fun. The tostada was a great deal for the price. I liked the place. I just wasn't blown away. They do a good job. But I've had better wings and burgers. Worth a try. I'd come again and order differently.

What a gem. Me and…read morefiancé had dinner late last night 5/15 @ 9pm, we did make a reservation at that time and checked in early and they sat us down 10 mins early ((looooved that)). We ordered the Crab cake, perfecting packed together where it was too dense but gently molded. It was packed with umami and this refreshing citrus after taste..it was so damn good. French fries, were a must crispy tasty fries did not disappoint. Spanish octopus, cooked to perfection- lots of interesting flavors and textures we enjoyed. Lastly we shared the tacos (1 cod 1 shrimp), tasty fat tacos. Accompanied with fresh chips and the guac and salsa that was tasty. What really set it for us, was while we were wrapping up the meal. Me and fiancé were toasting to my late dad, today was his birthday. Well we asked for the check and planned to skip dessert. Well before we left our server had packed us the key pie to take home..just because. God lord, the timing of toasting my dad, and the generosity had me literally fighting tears. It really was a remarkable meal, we loved every bite. Our server whoever you are your f*cking wondeful and the team you are doing amazing work thank you.

Fantastic service. Halibut was delicious. Wine selection…read morepaired perfectly. This gem was recommended by a local I chatted to at a coffee shop and it turned out really well for my coworker and me.

Only came here because simmzys had a longggg wait but so so so glad we did Food was amazing but SPECIFICALLY writing this review for The server Ken. He was fabulous!!!! He was doing everything, hostess, server and bartender (he made one of the best margs I've ever had).

Every round that hit the table was a "pass it around, everybody try this" moment. The kind of happy hour where you're not just snacking -- you're accidentally having a full-on dinner because you can't stop ordering "one more thing." Food: Legit. Everything we tried was solid, but the wings were the standout for me -- the kind you keep reaching for even when you tell yourself you're good. Great flavor, cooked right, and they held their own against any wing spot that claims they're "known for wings." Whatever they're doing back there, keep doing that. Service / experience: This is where they really won. Trent was our guy tonight and I can't say enough about him. Manager supreme is the right title -- he wasn't just checking boxes, he was running the whole experience. He served, suggested, kept the pacing perfect, and made it feel effortless while still being locked in the entire time. You can tell when someone actually cares that your night is going well, and Trent is that dude. Major asset to this business and the kind of manager that turns first-time visits into "we're coming back next week." Atmosphere was exactly what you want for Manhattan Beach happy hour: lively, comfortable, easy to settle in, and perfect for a group. We came to try the menu and ended up staying for the vibe. Only complaint -- and it's not even on them, it's on the "beach cities trying to save the world one soggy sip at a time" vibe -- the paper straws. I swear those things last 11 minutes before they turn into a wet napkin. Let me live, Rockerfellas Bottom line: If you want a happy hour that actually delivers, Rockerfellas is it. Bring friends, come hungry, and if you get Trent taking care of you? You're in elite hands. We'll be back.

Anyone who knows the biz knows that Mother's Day is an insanely busy day! We were seated promptly. We started with their decadent warm banana bread with caramel and butter! They sent us the blistered green beans with pork belly cubes, delicious! Our daughter had orrechiette with lobster, very tasty! Wifey had the classic eggs Benny and I had the breakfast burrito! All very satisfying! And thanks to our server, Danny for taking care of us! Mahalo to the managers, Brian and Shawn!

Got there right before the dinner rush without reservations and were seated immediately. Always appreciate that. Justin took care of us and was such a gem. Warm, attentive, just very thoughtful and kind the whole night. He even surprised us with the Elvis dessert at the end, which was really sweet. The space is beautiful. Dim lighting. Glowy inside. Lively but not too loud. Very Manhattan Beach. We got the bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuits, roasted Alaskan halibut, and grilled skirt steak. The biscuits were unreal. The halibut felt light but still rich in the best way. The skirt steak had a great char and was exactly what I wanted after that long of a run. Just a really lovely dinner after a long run. Felt taken care of the whole time, I've already recommended this restaurant to friends and can't wait to come back myself

Stopped by BrewCo Manhattan Beach for their lunch special and had a really nice experience overall…read more We ordered the chicken pot pie, roasted cauliflower, and the Smash Burger Americana with onion rings. The roasted cauliflower was hands down the best part of the meal. It was seasoned so well and honestly addictive. I could not get enough of it. The chicken pot pie came out piping hot and was really good, super comforting and flavorful. My only small wish is that it had pastry on the bottom too, since it would have soaked up all the juices. The burger was fine but nothing special. I think it could have used some lettuce and tomato to help tie everything together. The onion rings were solid. Service was good and it was not too crowded for lunch, which made it a relaxed and enjoyable place to sit and eat.
