This was, without question, one of the worst dining experiences I've had in Jacksonville, IL. The…read morefood at El Patron was absolutely disgusting. Everything tasted stale and poorly prepared, with no freshness or care evident at all. Portions were unimpressive, flavors were off, and the overall quality was far below what should be acceptable for a restaurant. The ambiance did nothing to help. The dining area felt unclean and uncomfortable, giving the impression that basic upkeep is not a priority. It's hard to enjoy a meal when the environment itself makes you uneasy. Service was just as disappointing. Staff appeared disinterested and inattentive, and any issues were met with indifference rather than concern. There was no effort to improve the experience or acknowledge problems. Overall, El Patron was a complete letdown in food, atmosphere, and service. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

I'm writing to share a troubling experience my family and I had at your restaurant, which has been…read morea favorite of ours since it opened. We visit at least twice a month and were taken aback by how tonight was handled. After we were ready to leave, two employees approached our table and claimed there was a bill from a prior visit - one that supposedly happened on September 27th. They showed us a receipt and insisted we had left the table in question. When we tried to discuss it, the on-duty staff member implied the card was declined and wanted to let us know we owed them money, even though we believed we had already left with our bill properly settled. We ended up paying $46.00 to avoid further disruption. The experience left a bad taste in our mouth and we will no longer support your restaurant. Jeff Dawson

After…read moreexcellent homemade Bread & Honey Butter, various diners enjoyed Shrimp de Jongue, Wisconsin Cheese Curds, Stuffed Shrimp, and Shrimp Cocktail. I particularly liked the cheesy and nicely packed Crabmeat Stuffed Shrimp and crispy-topped Shrimp de Jonghe. Next up, New England Clam Chowder was real thick and creamy. And a Garden Salad was tasty with a lot of shredded cheese on top and a vibrant Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing. I also enjoyed my entree of Broiled Salmon and Au Gratin Potatoes. But it seemed like an odd combination. Others at my table of 10 ordered Fried Lobster Tails, Fried Shrimp, The Captain's Platter, Snow Crab Leg Clusters and Fettuccine Alfredo. Our principal server, Marlene R., did an excellent job of coordinating ordered food items with their corresponding diners. Food portions were large. So no one ordered dessert. We said our several goodbyes, and everyone appered to go home happy. Certainly, we all left the restaurant well fed.

While quality has improved, customer care is non-existent, prices have increased and portions have decreased. Hope they can sort themselves out and hit all the targets. As for me, I won't be back until I hear that they've improved on these fronts.

What a disappointment! We had planned and reserved a wonderful birthday dinner with family, only to…read moreend up waiting two hours for our meals. There was a party of 45 being served, but the rest of the dining room was left completely unaware of the situation or the reason for the delay. A simple heads-up to each table BEFORE ordering would have been the appropriate and courteous approach. Our server was kind and did her best, but she was clearly frustrated--especially after sharing that the owner was in the restaurant DINING during all of this. Unfortunately, half of my family had to leave due to the unexpected long delay. After waiting an additional thirty minutes and repeatedly trying to get our server's attention through another staff member, and trying to flag her down , we ultimately gave up. My husband left $100 on the table to cover the drinks and a tip, more than enough. As we exited, he--being a restaurant owner for 35 years--turned toward the patio and waved goodbye, signaling that he will never return. It takes quite a lot for him to feel that way. This experience fell far below the standards we expect from any dining establishment.

The Patio Brunch Review…read more My favorite "Fancy" #Brunch spot for 200 miles!!! While only offering this delicious dining option on Sundays, I'd be completely remiss for not giving #ThePatio their props here on Yelp! Should you choose to dine at the bar, Beck will take Excellent care of you! ‍ She's very friendly, efficient, remembers her customers better than Many I have ever met in the service industry, and always answers any random question I come up with about the food/drinks/restaurant. (For instance, did you know that The Patio is the ONLY location you can get served #TopecaCoffee locally!!?!? - https://topecacoffee.com This beautiful hot bean liquid is Sincerely delicious enough that I can Almost drink it without cream lol ) The Patio offers both a #BloodyMary and #Mimosa flight, as well as other delicious alcoholic And non-alcoholic options. The Piece De Resistance, IMO, is the rich and savory, Decadent, Croque Madame. ‍ A friend once described it as "that fancy hot ham and cheese!" and they weren't entirely wrong. lol Served on locally made sourdough toast, the fried ham and distinctly tasty Gruyère cheese, meld seamlessly with an (accomplished) béchamel sauce. The "sunny side up" egg rests on top of the sandwich, with but even a bit more sauce in between. To have found this dish so well executed in one of our local restaurants was the best culinary surprise of 2025 so far!!!! Thank You! Overall, the Ambiance, great service, and attention to QUALITY food and drink, definitely make this a #SundayBrunch stop not to be missed! (A small side note: While their Dinner menu is equally yum, the price point on their #Brunch menu is Extremely reasonable, and won't offend your pocketbook quite as much. Don't be scared, just do it!!! Lol) A few little extras I also enjoy are their Grits, 6.5 minute eggs, (Only Beck knows!), and the Stuffed French Toast! #Enjoy -LL
