Great food, friendly staff, and clean. Got an Oreo shake that was delicious. Burgers were also very good. Really no complaints! Will be definitely be stopping here again when we do our drive from Colorado to AZ and back to visit family. read more

I know this is a bold statement but this was the best shake I've ever had. It was thick, kind of between a soft serve and a regular shake. And it was heavenly. My burger was great too! And hand cut fries? Yes please. Was I expecting to find the best shake of my life in a town I was only passing through? Nope. Will I come back? Somehow I hope so! read more

Great burgers and onion rings. We didn't try the shakes but they looked good. Good stop on the way to National Parks.

We we're passing through and stopped to get gas and lunch. We weren't expecting to get such good service, great burgers and fries! This little restaurant looks tiny, but inside feels spacious! If you're looking for a good experience in Blanding, Utah, check them out! read more

Great burgers and fries. I HIGHLY recommend the curly fries. The kids loved their burgers. They were very accommodating of my request to make a vegetarian sandwich - ordered a cheesesteak minus the meat, added fried eggs, changed the cheese, added mushrooms. I felt like a pain ordering it, but they were very nice and even came to check on me to see if it was good. It was! They have loaded veggie french fries on the menu and I wish I had tried that. They have gluten-free free buns if you need a GF option. The milkshakes were good, but not at all what I think a milkshake is. They were more like what a DairyQueen blizzard is. Very good, but not something that can be drank through a straw. All in all, a great place to eat. read more

We came here on a cold winter day New year day, on our way from Moab to Page. All the decent restaurants were closed except this one. The restaurant that serves burgers, sandwiches, salads, with friendly easygoing staff. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and bring you the food. Wifi is available. Highlights: Big B burger was bombbb (double patty, with double cheese) with eggs on the side. Chicken sandwich was average. read more

We stopped here last year on the way from Austin Texas to Moab Utah. We've been thinking about Patio Diner for a year and planned our trip so we could stop here again on our way back to Moab this year. What we didn't plan on was them being closed on Sunday -the day we were passing thru. No worries, because we so wanted to eat here again, we made a special trip back today. The burgers & such and the shakes are just that good! It's that kinda place that would be on my version of the show "best thing I ever ate!" The kind of place you will remember for the rest of your life...in my opinion! So if you find yourself in the area or somewhere close-give this little place a try! We will forever be thankful there were not a lot of other choices on this road or in this town! We will be back! #patiodinerrocks read more

Patio Diner - American Near Me - Blanding, Utah

Both my wife's and my hamburgers were cold. We waited 10 or 15 minutes to get them so we assumed they were freshly cooked. Wrong, the burger looked cooked but both the buns and the meat were cold. So I have to assume you can only get premade frozen burgers. Not worth the $30 for two cold burgers and then we had to give a tip up front so we got double screwed. We were too tired to complain in person, so this is my complaint station. read more

First time in Blanding. I was taking my mother in law to a doctor's appointment. She recommended the Patio Drive-In. I've lived all over the country and have yet to taste fries any better than this. The burger was simple and not over seasoned like most. Also impressed with the cleanliness as well. Highly recommend this classic diner. read more

I ate lunch here for the first time today not only was it delicious but there is a live piano player totally made my day I plan on returning again and again truly unique family owned business I highly recommend read more

I ordered a plain hamburger with fries and a Pepsi. The hamburger is freshly made, and cooked exactly the way I like it. Charbroil to perfection. Service is very friendly. You read more

Excellent choice for a quick bite in Blanding. Service was fast and staff was friendly. Veggie fries make for a great veggie option.

Pretty ok burger joint. The shakes are piled high and tasty. The Bleu bacon burger was tasty, and the onion rings were good 2. The cheese in the grilled cheese was kind of plastic looking. read more

Patio Diner - Bleu bacon burger, fries, shake and onion rings - American Near Me - Blanding, Utah

Stopped here for lunch while exploring the area. Wouldn't have stopped if it hadn't been for the Yelp reviews. Definitely a hidden gem. Great sandwiches, especially the Southwest Chicken and curly fries. Large portions. Friendly staff and quick service. We ordered through the drive through and ate in our car. But indoor service is also open. The shakes looked amazing but we were too full. read more

I thought this place was great! I loved their "curly fries"--they're not your typical curly fry, more like a twisted potato wedge. Their onion rings and home made fries were also very good! I'm only giving four stars because I think the burger quality good have been slightly better. I understand that meat processors are in short supply right now in the area (saw something about this elsewhere) so they are probably using the best that they can get. Oh, and they rang a bell and people yelled when I ordered my burger. I guess a 1/2 burger is a big deal. LOL. Took me by surprise and it was kind of embarrassing. read more

We drove to Utah just to enjoy the Patio. No, not really. We went there to visit my Mom. She's gone now but the Patio is still there and still serving up the BEST FOOD EVER! read more

At first glance you'd miss Patio Drive-In if you were simply passing by talking or texting on your phone; yes we all know you do it! Needless to say, this little gem definitely has it's secrets! I came with a couple of friends on our way to Monument Valley. The reviews on Yelp are quite impressive so we thought we give it a go! The place has some nostalgic antique allure and very quaint. For my food I ponder upon the Houston even though the Big B sounded quite interesting. However, as I spoke to the counter gal some more she sold me on the Houston. Again, at first glance I didn't think much of the burger simply because it came on a take out container, which I thought was odd. However after one bite I was sold and a fan. The Houston came on a Texas Toast bun lightly grilled to contain the subtle crunch. Topped with bacon, lettuce, pickle, onions, American cheese, and mayonnaise; this burger was packing some punch! The patty was moist and cooked to perfection. I love a burger when the burger patty and bun ratio is one point and the Houston definitely hit the mark! In the end, I wish I ordered some sides to get a bite, but my appetite and time was limited. However, if you stop by Blanding UT, I totally recommend a bite here! - Enjoy! read more

A wonderful family type burger eatery with great food, excellent service and the price is right. If you are looking for a fancy place where they serve you "art" by professional waiters and sky high prices go to Vegas or Hollywood and skip this charming small town eatery. read more

The Burger with an Ortega chili on it was great. The Onion Rings were definitely awesome!! Served with homemade thousand island. Good little spot in the middle of real USA. read more

For starters, best onion rings I've ever had. This place is clean, great food, great service, and my wife cannot stop talking about it. Everything on the menu was awesome. We came with a large group and everyone felt the same. read more

Stopped by on our way thru town. Got a fried chicken guacamole sandwich and milkshakes. It was all so yummy. The Patio has a clean 50's vibe. It would have been nice to sit outside, but there was no shade from the sun. read more

Patio Diner - Milkshakes - American Near Me - Blanding, Utah

If you're looking for a lunch or dinner spot on your way through Blanding, this is the place to stop! Patio has classic diner food such as hamburgers, fries, and shakes. It's small, casual, family-friendly, and family-owned. It's not fast food, so expect to sit and enjoy your meal for a while. I got the southwest chicken sandwich and was pleasantly surprised as I typically only get a burger. The sandwich had just enough spice to keep things interesting but not enough to make my lips burn. Make sure to try the fry sauce if you've never had it before as it's a Utah staple. The shakes are thick and come with multiple flavor options. Expect to eat your shake with a spoon and not a straw read more

Patio Diner - Classic B and Onion Rings - American Near Me - Blanding, Utah

Stopped in while traveling. Blanding was a small enough town to make me decide to drive around and see what the townies eat. The locals definitely like Patio Drive-In. And they are right. (Don't let the word drive-in fool you. They have seating.) This is straight up classic American drive-in food. Everyone in our group of five enjoyed their burgers, sandwiches, and ice cream. I especially liked the unique sodas. I didn't stay over in Blanding on the way back. But the part of our group that did ate there again. Delicious! read more

Stopped for lunch on our way through town. Ordered the chicken ham and Swiss sandwich, I'm normally a crispy chicken girl so I decided on the fried version rather than the grilled. Definitely not the right choice the fried chicken was basically three completely dry nuggets. Ended up taking the chicken off and in it's place added a couple delicious onion rings. They should be breading the chicken in the onion ring batter, very tasty and crunchy. In the end I sadly threw out most of my sandwich as the ham was also overcooked and dry. But was satisfied with the onion rings and awesome chocolate malt. read more

Cute little diner, reminded me of diners you see in movies from the fifties. We walked in to order takeout. I had a cheeseburger and fries and my husband had the hamburger and onion rings. Cheeseburger was nice and juicy. The fries were just okay. The onion rings were amazing, great batter and very juicy. They were the perfect temperature when we got them back to the hotel. Don't be afraid to try this place. It's much nicer than you would expect from the outside. read more

Delicious! Great service and menu full of choices. Ordered burgers curly fries & onion rings. All made fresh served hot & large servings Topped off with Oreo milk shakes to die for! read more

Super friendly staff, delicious food and very busy but worth the wait. Southwestern grilled chicken sandwich is my fav!

Recommended by the Bears Ears Education Center in Bluff because it was next to the only good laundromat in the area! WOW the best onion rings in the world and chocolate shake, kinda ice cream like! We both had chicken sandwiches- not McDonalds read more

I give this 4 stars because they have great burgers and onion rings and milk shakes for a reasonable price. Everything in Bluff, Utah is overpriced. We were happy to find this place in Blanding. Yes, it's in an older building, but the inside is clean, the food and service are good and the price is right! read more

Stopped on a roadtrip. Looked interesting. Great burger and a fountain soda. Fry sauce (it's a thing). The weird: a piano player playing church songs during lunch hour. Good food. Good people. No masks. You make the call. read more

Sweet people working there. Quick service, very clean. We just were not taken with the burger. No flavor in the patty. Which is typical of preformed frozen patties. The fresh cut fries were great, the onion rings not so great. read more

A perfect stop on the way to Moab. Food was excellent and so was the service. A must if you in the area.

Lovely little neighborhood family diner. Staff are very friendly and helpful when ordering and location is clean and orderly. Primarily burgers ,sandwiches and salads made to order. Do not miss the curly fries they're absolutely delicious. And could not forget to tip the pianist, she's lovely. Will return :) read more
