This spot got the best ribs ever highly recommended. Especially when there are no other spots nearby that cook ribs

I ordered two Apple Pecan Salads "to go" and requested NO blue cheese. Got home to discover that both salads WERE "loaded" with BLUE CHEESE, making them inedible for my family. It was too late to drive back, returjn the salads and request refund. A total waste of my money! Seems like quality control in the kitchen is lacking. read more

Was in Lombard and this place was recommended to me. Upon walking in they have an extensive menu. I was tipped off to get the BBQ chicken. Coming from Texas the chicken was delicious and juicy and bbq sauce was perfect. service was fast and friendly and they ambiance is awesome especially if you are there a meeting or just getting together with people you can actually talk and hear each other! Can't wait to return and I am hungry for the bbq chicken just typing this review! read more

My family eat here for lunch after shopping at Yorktown Mall. The menu is big, there's something for everyone. I like the pulled pork sandwich, hamburger, chicken sandwich, tuna sandwich, salads, sweet potato fries and other food items. The staff is great. There's a lot of seating and parking. I like that it is near the mall. read more

I came to The Patio in Lombard with high expectations. The space is big and bright, surrounded by glass windows. It's casual more of a no-frills diner than a cozy spot but clean and comfortable for a laid-back meal.Has the patio feel as the name suggests. We ordered two full slabs of the traditional baby back ribs, which came with mashed potatoes, bread, and coleslaw. I also had a Caesar salad. The salad was tangy but forgettable the croutons were far too hard. The ribs? Just okay. The sauce was solid, but the meat was dry and thin--not fall-off-the-bone like I hoped. I've had better. Still, I might give it another shot. Based on other reviews, the pulled pork sandwich, chicken kabobs, and Italian beef sound more promising. I also want to try the sweet potato fries and maybe a slice of their homemade chocolate or carrot cake next time. Service was adequate. read more

Visited today because the smell from outside was sooo inviting! lol This spot is a little different but cute. When you walk in it's almost like a cafeteria feel. You browse the menu, get in line to order then find a seat. They give you a table number for your order. The drinks are self serve. The food was really quick and really good! I got the combo and the was enough for 2 people! I am definitely leaving with a carry out for lunch tomorrow! Tor the amount of food, the pricing was reasonable. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The entire establishment was very clean and the workers very nice. Will definitely be back to try another scrumptious looking dish! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Have not been to a Patio in years. The menu is very similar. I ordered the brisket sandwich with fries. The other party had the chopped salad. We sat down and the food was brought to us. The bbq sauce options was good. The sandwich was also good just a little drier than I would have locked. The salad was fresh and there was plenty of it. Definitely a place to check out for lunch if in the area. The menu is very large and they have plenty of seating and parking. read more

The menus offers a wide variety. My favorite is the BBQ Beef brisket plate/ if u r watching ur carbs check this no bun no fries option YUM! It is great that different sauces are displayed on each table so you do not have to get up & go ask for more Bbq sauce etc,.The salads are delicious we really enjoy sharing a Cesar salad. The restaurant is very clean & many will enjoy the many TV's throughout the dinning area. Most places force u to purchase a water bottle, however The Patio will gladly give you a cup & you can serve yourself from the water tap so read more

Very comfortable dining room and very friendly service. The food was very good. Nothing jumped out as spectacular, but it was all good. read more

It's all right. Not the best food I've had, but certainly not the worst. Man, they were FAST, though. Everything was out within like 4 minutes of us sitting down. My wife got the tacos, which were all right. Corn tortillas, meat, some salsas, not bad for tacos from a BBQ restaurant with a drive thru. My kid got the kids' chicken strips and fries. Pretty basic. Nothing noteworthy there, but they were fresh and hot. I got the pulled turkey sandwich and chicken gumbo. I liked the gumbo. Hearty, flavorful. The turkey sandwich was fine. Bun, turkey, sweet BBQ sauce, nothing else. Overall, it was a bit pricier than I had expected, but it was really friggin fast, and we were starving, so that was a plus. Food was all hot and fresh, but the flavors just weren't quite there for me. I'd give it a solid 3+, maybe 3.5. It's worth a shot if you're in the area. read more

Dined in on 11-23-25. The baked potatoes were lukewarm to the point it would not melt the butter. The brisket diner was not to my liking. The meat was poorly seasoned with barbecue sauce. The price was reasonable, however the entire meal was disappointing. read more

I like this location of the Patio, but if it's crowded, food may take a little bit. My fave items are burgers, ribs, cream of chicken rice soup, italian beef. On a recent visit, I tried their chicken kabobs, and so good! Price is a little higher than some of their other items, but you get a side of rice with it. Very delicious. They are good for groups because everyone can place their own order at the counter. Plenty of items. read more

I went here when I saw it had 4.5 stars. I should have driven the 45 min to Algonquin. It was a rather expensive lunch $38. Brisket dinner, side of beans, corn bread, soup and a drink. The cornbread muffin was dense and dry. The paper wrapper was baked and embedded into the muffin and was difficult to remove. The beans were OK. The soup, chicken orzo, was ok. The brisket was dry and the BBQ sauce was just OK. Not much you can say about service, you order at the cou ter and the food is brought out to you. People came by frequently to remove dishes. The restaurant is clean. read more

The food is consistently good. My grandmother loves the place and we e been going for years. The service is fast and the ambiance is reasonable. read more

We came here for lunch before some shopping at Yorktown. We both got BBQ rib combos (mine with shrimp and his with brisket) and potato, cole slaw and bread included. Both of our meals were very good! Service was friendly (you order at a counter and your food is brought out to your table and number). The overall environment is very nice for a fast casual restaurant. If I'm out in the area again, I would come back here. Our rib combos were $24.99 each, so take lunch for two costing a little over $50 however you want. I feel that's a little steep, but that seems to be the norm now. read more

I've been to 3 Patio locations now. This location seems larger than the other 2. You walk in, look at the menus on the wall, place your order, and grab your number and take a seat. Today was busier due to Father's Day, so they had an usher escorting people to their seats. I ordered the double cheeseburger and loaded mac n cheese. The cheeseburgers are good. I appreciate that they're not greasy. The mac n cheese is alright. It was a little bland. They add bacon, breadcrumbs, and green onion. Both came to under $17. read more

I got a party melt and a side Caesar. There was nothing special about this place but also nothing wrong. If you eat in, be sure to ask for the side salad to be mixed in because it was annoying trying to figure out how to mix that huge thing on your own. read more

First the cashier could not count the cash I had given him- he counted 3 times and each time said it was $130.... Finally I said to give me the money and I showed him how to count and it was $140. The beef brisket everyone got was ok, little tough but did have good flavor. The ribs were horrible! Very tough, hard to even pull the ribs apart. Will not be back. read more

Was able to get brisket without BBQ sauce. Substituted coleslaw for steamed broccoli. I have a restricted diet so gluten and dairy is a no-go. Brisket was a bit dry, but otherwise very good. I just wish they offered it with some of the brisket juices. I was very happy I could find something to eat with my dietary restrictions. read more

UberEats is a pain in the arse! We found it best to just call the order in and get it ourselves. Their app has a hiccup. We're always happy with the meals. Most recently a good old Chicago dog. Nice touch while dining in, they bring the food to the table. I'd call it a 4.5. read more

Excellent BBQ! Large Portions. I usually get the pulled pork sandwich. Weird spacing between the drive through windows.

Food has gone way down in quality and way up in price. Not the wings I was expecting for $12.99. These are just frozen wings, they are gummy and nasty. Unfortunate, b/c we like coming to the Patio. read more

I like the Patio because it's consistently good food but we always go thru the drive thru - recently, though, we ate at this location and it was a pleasant experience. Service was great, our food arrived at our table within like 3 minutes of finding our seat. It's clean and very roomy. I always prefer the chicken shish-kabob with rice pilaf and a bowl of soup and we usually grab a brisket sandwich and it's always more than enough food for two of us with yummy leftovers. Their soups are always solid, fresh and hot. read more

It was delish! Ordered fries and they came out to perfection. The service was nice and their watermelon and peach flavored teas were delicious when combined. I can't remember what else I ordered this day but I would DEFINITELY return. read more

Cashiers are space cadettes ( older lady who couldn't comprehend my order after repeating myself 3 times before I asked for someone else to take my order). Later saw her at the bar with a beer. (Weird). Also noticed an employee nodding off like a heroin addict would be at a table in the dining room while she was clocked in. That lady is on drugs!!! Management needs to understand that! Not tired, DRUGS! Manager Brad was nice and attentive. Food was great, but staff here is the killer of this experience. read more
