Small town business at its best. Modest decor but wonderful service and food. Go for the chili burger!

Hand cut fries- 5 stars. Yummy. Fry sauce- 5 stars. Just like every self-respecting Utah restaurant should have! Service-4.5 stars. Polite and courteous. Kids meal 4 stars. Came with a baby soft serve cone which was perfect. Burger- 2 stars. I expect a really good burger at a home-town burger joint and these were not that. The meat patty was clearly a frozen convenience style patty you would expect at a gas station. No fresh meat. So disappointed! And still cost $13! Salad- 2 stars. The lettuce was starting to brown on the edges. The chicken was chopped up and nothing special. Vinaigrette was fine. But, again for $13 I expected better. Big disconnect between the prices and the quality. read more

I ate here a couple times both on weeknights and both times I ordered and waited for it to go and waited about 10 minutes. First I got the loaded veggie fries minus mushrooms. I enjoyed the cheesy onions and peppers but the fries were not my favorite, I think it would have been better with curly fries but they don't give an option and it comes with fresh cut fries. The second time I got the Houston burger and this was absolutely delicious! Next time I visit I'll definitely be sticking with a burger. The onion rings were wonderful as well, I appreciate a good batter and like the crispiness and touch of pepper. Worth a stop if you're craving burgers and/or onion rings! read more

Great burgers and the fries, to die for. This will be our new spot when coming through Blanding

Thank goodness for Yelp, which suggested Patio Drive-In for dinner. To be clear, it's not a drive-in in the sense of the Fifties drive-ins; no one's coming out to your car to take your order and bring you a burger on roller-skates. You park in the lot, and order at the counter. Their milkshakes are some of the best I've ever had; the staff suggested "Caramel Cheesecake", which was out of this world. Each milkshake can be custom designed and made to order. Trying to be healthy, I also ordered a Chicken Salad Wrap, which was good. It's a Fifities vibe inside, with cute decor. Free parking in the lot. read more

Might be the best that Blanding has to offer, but we thought the hamburgers were mediocre and the order-at the counter young woman seemed extremely bored with it all. read more

Quick stop as we drove thru town. Nothing fancy, but it was clean and the food was good. I liked the multiple options for fries, fresh cut was my fav, my family had all 3. The decor was totally before my time, but something you'd see and think back to grandmas house All business at the counter when you order, friendly yes, but to the point. read more

The staff was great. So friendly and helpful. Burgers were ok. Not great, ok. A little disappointed in the quality of the meat. It didn't seem like a hand pressed burger. I didn't feel it was worth the cost. Fries were good and served hot. The shakes were awsome. Don't get me wrong, the burgers were fine, just not up to the hype. We had a nice meal that was expensive but it was cooked correctly and we were starved and left full. I'd still stop in but I'd keep my expectations a little lower. Satisfied but not a wow. read more

The fries and shakes are delicious! There's a large variety of topping flavors for the shakes which is great too, and the trivia flash cards at each table are a great way to pass the time while you wait for food. read more

We just had amazing hamburgers , I had a lettuce wrap , and yummy onion rings. My husband had the chile hatch burger ! and curly fries with a delicious strawberry shake! It was the best burger we have had on our 17 days of travel thru Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado. We highly recommend this place. Leslie M. read more

We ate dinner here after a long sunny day in the monument and were very hungry! Luckily even though she switched the wait time light to 40 minutes when we ordered, it only took 20 minutes to get our food. The trivial pursuit cards on each table are a fun way to pass the time. My southwest chicken sandwich was good (even though sour cream on a sandwich is a little strange) and others enjoyed the Philly and the chili burger. The fries were fresh and delicious! Nice little diner in this small town. read more

The classic c is pretty tasty. The grilled chicken is also good. Don't bother with the burgers. My husband said the Philly cheesesteak was ok. The fries are not really worth it, but the soft serve is good. Trivia on the tables while you wait. It's a cute touch. The booths are all busted though and it's hit or miss whether you'll get your order right because the employees are always messing around in the back. read more

We stopped in for dinner. The place gives off an older dinner vibe. You order your food at a counter and get a number to place on your table so they know where to bring the food out to. The ordering counter has a light system to give you an idea of the wait on food. My girls opted for a kids burger and chicken strips with fries. My hubby got a bacon and guacamole burger with fries and I got a chicken and quac sandwich. We all of course opted for milkshakes. We ended up with an Oreo, Butterfinger, Hot Fudge, and Banana Split. All of the food was great and it actually came out faster than advertised. We would come back again if in town again. read more

This place has a lot of heart. If you're hungry and within 50 miles of Blanding, beeline to the Patio! read more

We went to this cute place while staying in Blanding Utah. They have burgers sandwiches salads and ice cream. My husband ordered a big burger with fresh cut fries and I ordered Lana's salad. It had Craisans, chicken, mandarin oranges on it. Both were pretty good. We got a hot fudge shake to split. It was a cute place and would suggest stopping if your in the area. read more

If you like dry burgers and the thick smell of burnt food that will stay on your clothes for days this is your place! The amazing ambience is only enhanced by the phone that rings here every 10 seconds for 10 seconds. However no one ever picks up. I felt like I was stuck in some kind of alternate universe where no one can hear the phone ringing except me. The service is great. A bunch of little kids at their first job! I loved the place and will be back! read more

Patio Diner - They have stinky coke. Also called Pepsi. - American Near Me - Blanding, Utah

At best the food was just OK. A big disappointment was the "milk shake". It was thick because it was basically some soft serve in a cup with a spoon. It was not a "milk shake" by any definition. They listed many flavors on their online menu but after asking for a couple and told they did not have that flavor I just settled for vanilla. I got the bacon blue cheeseburger. It was OK but it was just a burger with some bottled blue cheese salad dressing poured on top. I was hoping for actual blue cheese crumbles. The hand cut fries were very good. For $23 it was eatable but disappointing. I ordered on line but their website page did not have many menu items on it and no pricing either. You have to pay by credit card at the time of order which I understand but I did not know the cost until it picked up my meal. read more

It's a hidden gem. Burgers are delicious! Order and pay up front, get your number and a table. Food show up so fast. We ended up paying $25 per person for a burger with shake and fries read more

Great food in a great family run business! The burger was one of the best my husband's ever had!! read more

What was once a great place to go for a meal is no longer. It has been replaced with inattentive employees that focus on their phones and sitting in the corner more than the customers they should be waiting on. The feeling in this establishment is not one of being welcomed but as if you are being judged as you walk through the door by how you look. Food is entirely hit or miss. read more

Real ingredients. Friendly staff. Clean and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a bite to eat.

Chicken tenders tasted like fish. Fries were ok. Soft serve was ok. Service was fast and friendly.

Young girl who waited on us was awesome! Food came quick and as usual very good. This is always our favorite place to eat when we travel through read more

The staff and food are exceptional here. Super friendly, and very concerned that our meals were just right. They came to our table and we discussed how this business started, and many other topics about the local area. The burgers were very good. And what impressed me the most was their support of the US troops. This was very cool to see hanging on the wall across from us. I highly suggest you stop in when in this area. read more

Patio Diner - Supporting our troops. They get an extra star just for that! - American Near Me - Blanding, Utah

Let me start by saying that the food at Patio isn't half bad, particularly the desserts. We got a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon, served with french fries, and a chicken cheese steak, along with coconut custard concretes. The concretes were terrific; the sandwiches were decent. Service was slow but friendly. My real issue with this place--and it is NOT a minor one--is that it is doing absolutely nothing--ZERO--to keep patrons safe during the COVID pandemic. They even have a sign on their front door proclaiming that their staff members may or may not choose to wear a mask (2 did, the rest did not) AND that customers are free to wear a mask or not (not a single one of them did, and there was no social distancing inside). Amidst a global pandemic, this type of behavior is wholly unacceptable. Doubt me on this one? Check out the photo that I uploaded as part of this review for proof. read more

Simple & satisfying. The menu at Patio is short and straightforward, consisting mostly of burgers and a couple of loaded fries plates. I like it when restaurants make it clear what you should be ordering. The burger was a decent 'fast food plus' type of burger. Thin patties, soft bun, crisp veggies. The dish that would definitely make me return is their loaded curly fries. Their curly fries were more like twisted potato wedges, which worked really well with the tasty bean and beef chilly, great guac, and other toppings. The battered onion rings were very enjoyable as well. You can tell that at Patio they do try to make simple things taste great, and they did. If you're in Blanding, I think this is the place to try. read more

If this place has a million fans, i am one of them. If they have one fan, it is me. Incredible service and food! An absolute must if you are passing through.

Food was so good! The ice cream "shakes" were unreal. They are pretty thick more like Dairy Queen blizzards but way better higher quality ice cream and mix-ins. Couldn't get enough of this place! read more

Curly fries were unique and very good. Their selection of sodas is also great, and the black cherry soda was amazing. Though my daughter liked her kids' burger, my son and I weren't fans of our sandwiches. The chili burger just has a large grilled green chili on top of it, I was under the impression it was green chili as in the sauce. Not worth the price at $17 for a burger fries and drink. The steak and cheese was good, but they tried to charge me 50 cents for hot sauce that should come with it. Guess that's what I get for tipping when I shouldn't have.... Don't bother with the onion rings, they were super hard and not worth the price let alone an additional up charge..... read more
