    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.

    Chunks of dry unchewable beef in a brisket sandwich

    This location has been a favorite for many years. Sign says, "Cooks Wanted." Ya'll need more than cooks! How about some basic attention to quality before mediocre/inedible food is served? Beef brisket sandwich wasn't at all close. The beef was mostly leathery. Couldn't cut pieces smaller with plastic knife; so dry and tough, could not be chewed through. The bun the brisket was served on was hard on the bottom like it had been left out overnight. Completely disappointing. Left hungry and unhappy. Sorry to see the decline here. Plenty of other options at this price point

    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!

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

    BBQ Beef Brisket no sauce, broccoli substituted for coleslaw, and baked potato.

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

I had the Elotes Smashburger and was impressed with the quality of the meat and there was a good amount of all the toppings. The quality of the meat was great along and everything was fresh. The service was pretty quick. I added fries and was pleasantly surprised with the amount I got and the fries were really well seasoned. Only thing that was slightly surprising was when you "make it a combo" to add fries, you still don't get a drink. The prices were a bit steep, but I read online that when you eat at their locations they donate a meal to school kids. We read online that you get complimentary cobbler but it wasn't advertised anywhere, so when we were done eating we asked about it. No fuss about offering it up once we asked. The cobbler of the month was s'mores and it was so good! Once again had great quality and decent sized portion. There are multiple locations and I will definitely be open to going to other locations and trying other menu items again based on this experience.

Their inside feels like a greenhouse with tons of glass walls around but they also have a large patio (some shaded, some not spots). On Saturdays, they do 1/2 price frozen drinks, $1 wings, and $17 buckets of booze. I tried the Frozen Espresso Martini which was the perfect patio sipper! My friends got the Redtide which was a bit tart for me but they loved it. For food, we got some shareables for the table: Elote, Mac & Cheese, Ancho Carrots, and Cornbread. All the sides were amazing but the standouts were the elote and carrots. For meals, everyone got a mixture of Sandwiches and Golden Boy Plates. The Pig & Bull Sandwich was tender, packed with flavor, and loved the sweet slaw paired with it. Even on the plates, the meat was all juicy and tender. I absolutely loved the vibe of this spot and cannot wait for more warm weather to come back! Be sure to check out their weekly specials for extra deals!

The food overall was delicious, however, there were a few drawbacks. The pulled chicken did have a bone in it, and the cornbread on the platter was laughably small.

One thing I especially appreciated was the soft background music. It was pleasant without being so loud that you couldn't have a conversation.

The ribs were tender and flavorful, the chicken was delicious, and everything was prepared with care. The portions were generous, and the prices were very fair. If you're tired of chain restaurants and looking for a relaxed place with great food and friendly service, I highly recommend Broosters. We'll definitely be back.

After we studied the menu, we ordered a chicken plate with two sides, and kabob triple treats (one chicken, shrimp, and steak kabob) over a bed of broccoli and rice. I added soup of the day as my one side. After order, they brought our food to the table. The chicken was moist, but can use a little more flavor. The shrimp and the chicken kabobs were cooked perfectly. The steak kabob was my least favorite. The texture of the center was too soft - unlike an undercooked meat, and not sure how best to describe it. Overall, a good spot for a quick bite.
