Have you been here "Lately?" VERY disappointing! I've been going to the Bridgeview location for at least 25 years or longer. Just went on 08/04/24 and they are really skimping on the ribs. I ordered the ribs and shrimp. There weren't very many ribs and they were tiny AND it was $30 and change! Are you kidding me??? I can get a Filet Mignon plus the entire meal, salad and sides, for less than $26 and be WAITED on! The Patio "use to be" a good bargain, now........not so much! They're taken advantage of what "use to be." read more

I am so upset I have been meaning to write a review about what happens to me I can't even believe this I used to love the patio I always order the salad this is my first encounter with finding a bug in my salad I wish I would of taken another picture because on top of finding a bug some of my lettuce was old and black I returned it and got my money back but my thing is it's not about the money it about clean food clean service I can't believe this happens and the girl had the audacity to tell me the manager was not available and if she can get me something else from the kitchen I will never go back to the patio and I suggest you watch what you eat from there because my sister went a few months back and found a bug in her food two so just beware They are lucky I did not call the health inspector Very disappointed!! read more

Cod dinner was soaked with grease was pretty gross! Tilapia fish tacos were really good.

tough decision but tried a brisket burger. i smashed the bun meaning the on sqeeezed out of its coating but the sauce ran down the brisket and onto the burger.Sad the say the bun slowly withered.I ordered a cup of straight up chili- no add ons.I should have made it a bowl.That's it but my go- to is the rubbed ribs. read more

I visited via drive thru and placed order of soup, baked potato and onion rings. Upon arrival at home I noticed no onion rings. Called and suggested to have onion rings delivered and was denied. Only offer was made to take name and number for future credit, mind you I paid cash. Establishment needs better quality control via drive through, very disappointed read more

Sam the manager and Daniel the worker that takes the drive through order provides exceptionally great service! Daniel is professional and so accurate with playing back long orders, is friendly and patient. It was a pleasant experience going through the drive through. When we had issues last time, Sam the manager took care of me and my marine! He values his customers! read more

This place is across the street from me and for years I have been procrastinating coming here. At first I had no idea it was a restaurant because when you drive-by it does not look like one. The first time I came here I ordered from the drive-thru. We had the fish tacos, chicken fingers, cheese fries, chicken hamburger, corn on the cob and a chili cheese dog. They were all OK nothing exciting. So I decided to give this place a second shot and came with my friend who comes here often. She loves their food. It's an "Order & Pay" type of place where they bring the food to your table. I decided to try something different this time so I went for the sweet potato fries & mozzarella sticks for appetizers and then a cheeseburger. I liked everything still nothing WOWed me. As for the exterior I really loved it. With a HUGE place like that you'd expect something much better. Hopefully they expand their menu. Bonus *free ice cream* read more

I'm going to give them a three star rating because the employees were working hard to take care of everyone. My server was kind and understanding of my frustrations; however, I will never eat here again. I had a grilled chicken sandwich and it was a little undercooked, the lettuce tasted dirty, and they ran out of a food item I paid for! I was informed that they ran out of my item as I was waiting for my food. read more

The best chicken shish kabob in the south land. Good food and service. The dinning area is clean and well serviced. Been going there for years never disappointed read more

The patio is celebrating their 40th anniversary this year and I can honestly see why they have been around for so long! I been here in the past and decided to bring my husband and son here so they can try their fabulous burgers. They both LOVED the burgers and were thrilled about the outdoor seating. The patio is not your ordinary restaurant. The ordering process is like a fast food joint where you walk up to the register and place your order. Once you order, they give you a ticket and you choose your seating area. The servers then looks for your ticket number and bring your food. If you decide to sit in the patio make sure to notify the cashier. The food was surprisingly fast and right on point! I ordered the Greek chicken pita. It was phenomenal!!!! The pita was placed at the bottom of the plate. On the top was the shredded lettuce, finely chopped cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, tremendous amounts of feta cheese and grilled chicken. I highly recommend this dish. My husband had the Patio burger (double patty). It was massive! It had grilled onions, grilled peppers, mushrooms, tomato, lettuce, American cheese, ketchup and a side pickle. He ate every ounce of it! My son had the cheeseburger with one patty. He absolutely loved the burger and said it is now his favorite restaurant! We will surely be returning in the near future. They offer a huge menu and I'm sure everything of the menu is savory! read more

I lived across 159th street in Tinley Park for 25yrs I miss the smell it was stronger inthe cold weather the soup was my favorite I now live in Tennessee and can't get even close to that goodness read more

I've been a happy customer of the patio in Bridgeview over twenty years. My only regret is only posting a review now. They've been consistent and fresh + delicious for as long as I can remember. Their soups are amazing their salads are fresh and crisp. The customer service is always top notch. It's clean and family friendly. Thank you patio! You've given back to the community too. read more

I don't know why I don't come here more, but I like this place! It's laid-back & casual and the perfect place to go with a group and bbq lovers. You order at the counter, get a number for your table, and somebody brings your order to you - simple as that! I went with my family and we ordered a full slab of ribs dinner, hamburgers, chili/tamale boat, and it was all very good. The service was quick and efficient. read more

Ordered the Tuna Melt on toast, Blueberry Pie and Beer Battered Cod with Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Coleslaw. The Tuna melt was rich in flavor and delicious. The bettered cod was juicy and full of flavor as well. The blue berry pie was good because the portion size was generous, but would have been great if it was served warm. The garlic mashed potatoes were seasoned perfectly and by no means served with too much garlic. read more

My family has been coming to this place since before they transferred across the street. While I do admit the ribs have been on a *slow and steady* (emphasis on slow and steady) decline from the great ribs they used to serve, they still have more than enough on their menu to fill any crazed caveman meat cravings you may have. And if you want healthier fare (god forbid), they've got a ton of salad options, fish options and everything in between to make you happy. Beer? Got it. Ice cream cone after a meal? You betcha. Try it out, I can almost guarantee there is something on the menu that everyone will like. Pair this with great and friendly service and you've got a recipe for success. Hit up the Patio, you'll find yourself coming back for more read more

LOVE The Patio......have been coming here for YEARS. We go a lot at lunch from work, they have the BEST salads & huge selection. They make the best grilled chicken for the salads. Soup is always delish & their ribs are my fav. Anything is great here, you can't go wrong. read more

I just left the patio in bridgeview I ordered the The barbecue combo one combo with a half a slab of ribs and chicken the other combo with a half a slab of ribs and shrimp a side order of a Mac and it was atrocious the meat was tough and dry the macaroni seem like it was box macaroni I ate here about seven years ago and I thought the food was still on point I was so wrong never again!!! read more

I love this place! Whenever I'm in town it's a must stop for us. The ribs, chicken and even beef sandwiches are good. We always get the ribs, cos it's a rib joint! They're tender and tasty! Nice selection of sides too. Very casual and comfortable and they have the White Sox on the TV's if the game is on! I'll give 'em 5 stars just for that! read more

One of my favorite restaurants . I have been enjoying the chicken kabob its usually cooked well. Two days ago I bit into one of the chicken kabobs and well it was rubbery. I should have said something. It was just that one piece. I have had stomach pain ever since. I must remember to let them know that they must make absolutely sure the chicken kabob is cooked correctly. Ill wait before I go back. read more

Love everything! Service was fast and food was hot and oh so good. Can't wait for my next cheat day. They have a drive thru, which I thought was pretty cool for a rib place. read more

The Patio - Half slab and jumbo shrimp - Barbeque Near Me - Bridgeview, Illinois

This place is pretty good. My family likes to come here a lot. I like coming here too for the fast food service... and let's be honest for the free ice cream cone. Alright let's dive right into the pros. -the line to wait to order your food is hardly ever a long waiting time. -you choose where to sit and they bring your food to you. - the food comes out in a timely manner - they have a big menu selections (plus their new TV menus are nice) - they have beer and wine available. - you get a free ice cream cone with every meal. My only con would be that I wish their prices for the ribs and seafood weren't so expensive. But whenever I come I always tend to get a chicken sandwich anyway. read more

The chicken was super moist, rib could have been cooked a little bit longer... The garlic mashed potatoes where the bomb, but the loaded potato wasn't really loaded... Highlight of the meal was the barbecue sauce it made everything taste better read more

I came here and got a chicken sandwich, which came out to be over $7 (after tax) by itself. Anyway, I was very disappointed to find out that it was undercooked and pink!! I ended up throwing out most of the sandwich! read more

A must try. Amazing ribs and brisket and great service. It's a very large restaurant so it's easy to social distance.

Got my mom's birthday dinner here a few months ago. It was incredible. I got the pulled pork which was perfect while everyone else got ribs. Everyone loved their meals. I ordered when I got halfway there and went in and it was ready. They were very attentive. Some girl got my order and as I was standing there alone a manager asked if I needed anything. It was pretty busy that day. There was indoor and outdoor dining. There were cars all around for what I think was curbside pick up. There were kids coming in to get some soft serve ice cream. People like me picking up take out. Usually when places are that busy, something gets forgotten but they were on top of it. read more

This place is delicious! They have all sorts of food here. When I came I ordered the soup and chicken sandwich which came with fries. Really big place, lots of seats. read more

When I'm hanging with my south suburban friends, this is the place we go to for BBQ. It's not the best I've ever had, but it's decent. I usually order the ribs or the pulled pork sandwich. The meat is tender, but could use a little more flavor. The sauce is pretty good, so I end up slathering it all over my ribs or adding a generous dollop to my sandwich. Service is average. Sometimes they are friendly, sometimes apathetic. It doesn't take them too long to bring out your food... So until I find another place to go to when I'm out there, I'm sticking with The Patio. read more

Ordered from the patio today, was a bit disappointed. We order a shrimp dinner, the corn did not come with meal as it was intend and they put sour cream on the beaked potatoe when it was not requested. A lot of the food looked like it was thrown to gather with out any care. We would want to recommend this place but they seem to have been on a bit of a decline in quality. Maybe next time. read more

One of my family's favorite spots to go to. The staff is always friendly. Food always good and large amounts for what you pay for. We always find a coupon in the mailers. My dad and brother always get ribs and chicken, a burger for me and cheese fries, my mom loves the greek salad here. We love it, we come here often when we just want "fast food". You order at the counter, they bring you the food, and clean up after you. What more could you ask for! read more

I have to say I've been coming to The Patio for at least 20 years. I mean I get the whole inflation and all that wonderful crap but come on for a 12 ounce bowl of soup which is made in bulk $6.50. You have to be a fool to pay that and the owner of The Patio should be ashamed for ripping people off. As for the chicken tenders they're frozen have to times they're so freaking tiny. Do you want a real chicken tender platter go to Chuck's barbecue at 79th St in Burbank you get six homemade chicken tenders will blow The Patio's tenders out the door any day. read more

Extremely slow service in the drive thru and they'll make you park at one of the cones . They forgot I was waiting for my order and I believe they didn't start making it until I told them I was waiting almost 20 minutes. read more

I'm not sure if there are new people her or what but their Award winning ribs were so tough I had to grab a chef knife at home. They were tasty but tough as can be. I've had these here pre-Covid and they were tender as can be. It was disappointing to sink over 25.00 for a slab that I could have made much more tender at home. Potato was fine, the coleslaw watery and bland. Not worth the money. Go with their Rueben or hotdog. read more

The patio is pretty close to my work, so we come here often. It's more of a 3.5* in my opinion, but nothing has ever been terrible so I'll give it 4 :) keep in mind BBQ is not my favorite category of foods, but I get roped into coming because I work with a ton of dudes. The food is always consistently good, if not a bit pricey. What's with having to order sides separately?! BBQ I get, but not even the sandwiches come with fries. I usually get the fish tacos or the chicken/pork bbq tacos. The fish are a great, lighter lunch option. Get a side of the salsa verde with it! Salads are on the small side, as are soups. They get bonus points for the free soft serve cones! read more

I was at the Patio in Bridgeview on 12/7/21. The bus boy approached the table and felt comfortable to discuss his views on Kyle Rittenhouse, President Biden, masks and COVID-19 to a group of strangers. We were disturbed. He saw a group of white people and wanted to talk. No, thanks. I didn't finish my meal because I wanted to get the hell out of there as soon as I could. We don't know who this guy is. He wore a brown adidas mask on his chin. This type of conversation is not appropriate in a business. We were not interested in entertaining this person. Very unprofessional. Will never be back again. I can't imagine what his behavior is towards the people he works with. Not everyone is Caucasian at this location. Disgusting read more

Saturday night. Raining. Don't feel like cooking. I figured due to the covid the drive thru would be nuts and I was right. With 2 dozen cars wrapped around the building I arrived, ordered and made it through in 15 minutes. Full slab and a beef sandwich. Fries and soup I expected to wait a hour. 15 minute ride home. Everything was hot and fresh off the grill. I applaud everyone working there. Excellent job read more

Let me start by saying The Patio is one of our 'go to' restaurants. However, after our last visit on May 2nd we will not be going back to the Bridgeview location. There were 6 in our party and all the orders were on the same ticket. After 25 minutes we started getting our food, but just a few items at a time. It took over 30 minutes more for us to get all the food. Not to mention, the appetizers were delivered last, and all of the food was cold. There were no napkins or utensils with the food orders. We approached a worker to get napkins/utensils but had to wait because he had a table to clear. read more

Terrible customer service ordered a salad paid $11 for a salad with no chicken! When on the menu it states on the menu it comes with chicken. Spoke with the manager she says she understands what the menu says but its nothing they can do instead of offering to remake it or something! I been going to the patio for yearssss but never again. read more

I have been a frequent patron of The Patio since I can remember. The original location used to be situated across the street, but they have expanded to a bigger restaurant as well as other locations around the Chicagoland area. This place has everything. A clean eatery, friendly staff, and excellent food. They also have a bar and several tvs where you can check out the latest game....oh and the softserve ice cream is free. read more
