Best Ribs in Chicagoland, hands down. Patio also makes the best coleslaw I've ever had, hands down. Place is a gem, free soft drink refills dine-in! Always professional service! read more

Very nice experience start to finish. Large modern and clean designed family style sit down restaurant. Although I would say the concept is a mix of Family Style & Fast Food Style. Review the menu; they have nice menus posted on the walls. Digital and traditional menus. A large selection of items. I went with the fisherman special. Good service. Once you order & pay at the counter. Take your receipt, ticket number and they have the self serve fountain drinks. Pepsi products; Pepsi zero also. A large dining room with High top seating, or tables. Relaxed environment. Casual. The food is delicious. Fresh prepared fish in a light batter cooked in fresh oil. Quality. The Homemade tartar sauce is really delicious and a nice compliment. I like to taste the food before adding. The coleslaw is also homemade. Prepared nicely, light and not heavy. Yummy. Very nice experience . I definitely recommend them and find their Brand to be consistent throughout their locations. Located on the West Side of Harlem Avenue. With a large parking lot for customers and a drive through for take away orders. Menards is behind them ; and the Bridgeview Mosque Foundation to the SouthWest of them. Beautiful area . read more

Three very distinct experiences with The Patio lead me to conclude that it is a true hidden gem in the Southlands. First I catered a large event at work in the Southlands Suburbs and the food was on time, at temperature and delicious! I was so pleased that I made the drive to have dinner with a group of friends--location was my suggestion--and the restaurant was warm and inviting with tremendously friendly staff. The lamb chops and chicken kabobs were delicious. Tonight I ordered via DoorDash for delivery and was similarly impressed. Might I suggest you leave room for desert--chocolate fudge cake and carrot cake are decadently good! read more

Huge, easy access parking lot right on Harlem. Upon entry, you order & pay ... with the order number card in hand, take a seat at an available table. For fountain drinks, you basically help yourself to multiple options of beverages. Staff will deliver your purchase to you according to your number. There are a few TV's in the dining area, usually airing sports. A wide variety of tables, booths & high chairs that should easily accommodate parties of any size. Quick service for our delicious entrees!!! We were on our way to a movie, so efficiency was perfect! read more

Love this place at least 2 a week rib are amazing along with there cheddar poppers an chocolate cake

I enjoyed myself here. It was an evening after work and I needed something good to eat. I chose the burger with bacon and bbq sauce. It looked small but it was satisfying and fresh/hot. I ordered an iced tea but the iced tea kinda turned me off how it was sitting uncovered. I decided on a lemonade. After ordering my food I was given a number. The dining room was huge with plenty of room. There was a bar as well. I picked a spot where I could see the basketball game and relax. The workers there were really friendly. After a short while my order was brought to my table. I had a nice experience. read more

I have been eating here since 2022. The food was great back then compared to what it is now. The service used to be faster than what it is now. The prices also increased. The ice cream machine is always "McBroken" (McDonalds Joke!) for some reason. When I ordered ribs they were STONE COLD and COMPLETELY RAW and the floors are SO STICKY! Nice going guys, you just lost a paying customer. I guess I'm eating at The Pit instead. read more

The food was amazing it killed My craving for turkey although I do not like the breast it was tender and moist the mash potatoes were very good at this location they give you ice cream after diner for free the service was amazing the floor attendant was very friendly the service was prompt but I wish the food was HOT not warm The ambiance was very crowded and family friendly I really like it here they have food no other patio has read more

This is Mary Ellen Plesha . I gave the patio another chance today and it wasn't worth it. Was there a 5:17 p.m. on May 1st spent over $65 I ordered over with 127 ticket number 10098 register one mango salmon dinner just comes with a baked potato which was undercooked it was so hard I couldn't eat it. It also comes with a medley of vegetables which the chefs I should say Cooks in the back do not know how to slice vegetables the zucchini wasn't even a quarter inch thick and the red peppers or 4 inches wide does that make sense no. Also ordered pork sandwich and a brisket sandwich and they forgot to put the pickles in with the sandwiches and since this was a takeout order I didn't notice this until I got home of course since I'm sick I'm not going back for pickles. Don't ever order the breaded zucchini is all you will get is just spreading I took the breading off of one and you couldn't even see any zucchini inside for $8.99 you get all breading. That patio has changed so much since the 90s and when John the owner was there every day managing the business. Sorry John for the money I spent I was very disappointed in the food I got today. I haven't seen you in years hope you're doing okay maybe you should go to your restaurants once in awhile and see how your cooks her working in the back read more

I was a confirmed Patio Restaurant believer Bridgeview or 159 St location. It became difficult for me to see the Patio Restaurant and not stop. I also celebrated many family Birthdays and Holiday family get togethers there . I enjoyed the great food and cleanliness for at least 25 years . During the latter part of 2024 I noticed that the quality of the food had rapidly declined and the prices had increased. After paying closer attention I noticed that there had been a personell change at the restaurant . I later learned there was new ownership at the restaurant. I have not returned. read more

I have been coming to patio since the little restaurant across the street, that being said I've never had a problem here until yesterday. It was a special family gathering exchange gifts after Christmas and have a great meal. Well my son loved his chicken sandwich and soup wife only got a big soup and I got pulled pork plate. Here's the problem this pork was made clearly much earlier and was so dry my plastic knife wouldn't cut it. The color was a tell tale sign on the bigger pieces also. Really dropped the ball guys! read more

This used to be a pretty good place for ribs. Unfortunately it has gone downhill over the years. The price continues to go up while the quality goes down. The ribs were a bit on the tough side. The taste was below average. This is about the 3rd time I have been disappointed. So I will skip this place for ribs. I will say we get the cream of chicken soup and that is pretty good. A little pricey for the small bowl but decent. Also noticed the mac n cheese which also used to be good was horrible the last time. It tasted like one of those boxed powdered mac n cheese. I think they are trying to increase their profits by providing low quality food. What used to be a place I went to often is quickly becoming a place I will skip! Sad as it's close. read more

I got the bbq chicken dinner w/ garlic mashed potatoes on New Year's Day and it was delicious

While ordering, the manager refused to honor my order. Saying that they no longer provide the service and it had tood was delivered. It was missing items and the manager was rude and was not polite with regarding the issue for 20 years, I have Begun going to that place for. 4 over 20 I am writing to express my profound disappointment and frustration following a recent experience at your establishment -- a place I have frequented for over two decades. What once stood as a symbol of consistent quality and respectful service has unfortunately devolved into something I can no longer support or recommend. During my last visit, not only was my order refused without reasonable explanation, but I was told -- quite dismissively -- that the service I requested was no longer offered and that my previous (incomplete) order had already been delivered. When I attempted to address the issue, the manager responded with rudeness and a complete lack of professionalism or empathy. There was no effort made to listen, resolve the problem, or even acknowledge the long history I've had with your business. In over 20 years of patronage, I have never been treated with such indifference and disrespect. What made this especially shocking was the sharp contrast to the service I once knew -- attentive, courteous, and reliable. Sadly, this recent experience felt like an unfortunate reflection of a deeper decline in both the management and the overall standards of the restaurant. It pains me to say this, but I will not be returning. I will also be sharing my experience with friends and family, many of whom were introduced to your establishment through me. What was once a place I loved -- known for its quality food at a fair price -- has clearly lost its way. Sincerely, [A Concerned and Formerly Loyal Customer] read more

Ordered 2 half chicken meals with baked potatoes. The chicken was huge and so fresh. The baked potatoes were huge too. The patio never disappoints. I went through the drive thru so I can't comment on the inside this time, but the food was delicious and still hot when I got home. I also tried a side garden salad for the first time. It was good too and very fresh with cucumber, carrots, and tomato. read more

. I recently visited The Patio BBQ Restaurant for lunch with a work colleague who had highly recommended the place. I was not disappointed! This modern, super clean restaurant had an open atmosphere that gave me the feeling of being in a beachside town eating BBQ on the patio. The service was excellent and fast, which was a pleasant surprise considering how busy the restaurant was. We ordered the Baby Back Ribs lunch plate and the Fatty Brisket plate with French fries and coleslaw. Our meals arrived promptly, and we were impressed with the presentation of the food. The lunch specials came out with the BBQ sauce on the brisket and ribs, and they were fall-off-the-bone delicious. The meat was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were mouth-watering. The sides were also fantastic and complemented the main dishes perfectly. Overall, I highly recommend The Patio BBQ Restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic BBQ experience. The ambiance, service, and food are all exceptional, and I will return soon. Don't hesitate to try this place out! read more

rude cashier but food was decent. Nothing more irritating than a person u pay is rude to u

Always consistently My favorite is the Greek Chicken salad (no anchovies). Even when they drive thru line seems a little long, it goes by fairly fast. Other good items that I've tried in the past before were the Greek pita (similar to the salad but chopped in a pita) and the buffalo chicken sandwich, it's lightly covered in buffalo sauce so it gives you the right amount of heat without it being too spicy. read more

The food here at The Patio is great and as well as their service. The place is very clean and decent. I have had the brisket sandwich many times. It is always very good and tender meat. The BBQ sauce is tasty and unique. It does not overpower the meat taste. The beans are homemade. They are very tasty too. I really enjoy coming here for a great meal. I can always order the same food I had when I am visiting The Patio. Definitely will go back here again and again. Big thanks to the staff who made our stay really amazing. read more

The Patio ribs holds a special place in my heart. My family has been getting their ribs to-go since I was a little kid and I still love them to this day. It's still served in the same type of styrofoam container that I remember from my childhood. Their bbq sauce is tasty, the traditional baby back ribs are tender and meaty, I love the slightly watery consistency of their sweet coleslaw, I love the little single-serving sized sour cream packet that comes with their baked potato and I even love the piece of pre-cut french bread after slathering it with butter. I have no complaints. Don't ever change! read more

We chose this restaurant for a little family reunion. Love that our party of 9 was accommodated quickly by a friendly staffer there. I ordered ribs and a baked potato. EXCELLENT CHOICE! Ribs were tasty, perfection. Then I ordered a strawberry cheesecake, that too was delicious. Lastly - I was pleasantly surprised to know we could get a FREE soft serve ice cream cone. That too was the perfect size to compliment a large meal. Will be returning soon. Oh - staff are friendly, courteous and happy to see you. read more

Always great food. Shrimp is real good. Reasonably priced. Nice workers. Have to try the chicken on a pita Greek style.

The chicken oreganato is really good. However, the cream of chicken and rice soup tasted like flour paste. Also, my order is always missing something or not prepared as I have requested. My order was missing butter and sour cream for the baked potato. I also asked for extra oreganato sauce but didn't get it. However, the thing that pissed me off the most was getting a half-inch slice of cheese cake for over $7. I called and spoke with Joe, the manager on duty, who admitted that the cheesecake slices were incredibly small this time but said that he couldn't do anything about it. He left my name and number for the general manager Tom but I never heard anything. Disappointing!!! read more

Good homemade BBQ here in the suburbs of Chicago of Worth. You order at the front desk off the menus that are in giant movie poster style. The brisket is good here, you can taste the flavor. The loaded Mac & Cheese is great for a side dish. They use bread crumbs baked in the cheese for a yummy side dish. Don't be mistaken, this is a BBQ place, but one of the best items on the menu is the Patio Submarine. This is a fully loaded sub with Greek Pita sauce that blows it away read more

This place is huge and plenty of seating and servers. 3 of us order some things and they nailed it. I had the brisket sandwich and that was very tasty. I added the spicy BBQ and it kicked it up some. I also had the regular Mac n Cheese and that was strong. I always get cornbread and this was a muffin and it had pieces of corn in it. I liked that it was crispy on top. Overall I would like to come back for some ribs and see what everyone is talking about. Great staff read more

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

Had a great dinner experience at The Patio! Very clean environment, friendly staff. Shout out to Jason for taking extra good care of us by helping to package our food at the end of our meal. To celebrate the restaurant's 40th anniversary, Jason pointed out that the restaurant was giving out free ice cream cones, and then he was so kind and went and got them for us and brought it to the table! He had the best attitude, was so friendly, and we'll of course be back. read more

I don't know why Yelp took my review down for this place but I remember writing a review for this place 9 months ago when I was here... Any way I can recall myself coming here over the Summer. I've always known about the Patio but I have never gone to it. That is until I had a great experience at their Oak Brook location that I decided to come here. Their food is phenomenal! They may have some of the best food within the few mile radius. The dine in experience was great. Everything about this place is phenomenal. They're pretty busy but everyone would rather go through the drive through then eat in. Definite reccomend! read more
