    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.

We were served by Jamie, who was perfect, she was there when we needed something but she didn't hover. We were pleased with the food. We are not gourmands but the pizza had a delightful char to it and refreshing choices of toppings. For a starter we had arancini, yum! To finish, how could we go wrong with delightful tiramisu, we couldn't. The man who saw to it that we never ran out of water was also welcoming and warm. We felt like valued customers even though it was our first visit and because of that when we are back in the area, we will be sure to eat there again.

My go-to order is the bolognese and my husband's is the vodka pasta. But when we are in the mood for it we love to split a pasta and pizza! Also highly recommend the wild mushroom toast appetizer to share for fungi lovers. For kids, there are several options and an affordable kids meal. It's a great spot to go for a casual/nice meal with the whole family or on a date! At our most recent trip, we had great quick service with a very friendly waitress. We appreciated that she expedited our toddlers food to come first- an unhappy toddler is unfortunate for all- so we were grateful. Already can't wait to visit again.

They have an excellent bar up front and make great cocktails- my husband and dad both love the classic old fashion! I'm a sucker for a nice glass of Pinot Noir. If you're dining in (and you really should!) The pasta bolognese is a must have. Always amazing. And the black pepper shrimp over polenta is an amazing appetizer! So rich and delicious. These are both part of my go-to order here. Recently expanded my order and tried the short rib over polenta for the first time, it was amazing. Tender. Flavorful. Good sized portion. Wonderful. Will absolutely get again. For dessert, and there's always room for dessert here in my opinion, I love to get the rich panna cotta. This past time though we got the butterscotch budino, which was smooth and rich without being overly sweet. It was perfect to share (or not)! Just enough hint of butterscotch and topped with a crumbled shortbread cookie to an add a little crunch to the otherwise creamy treat. The staff is always helpful in making recommendations to suit your tastes too! There is a call ahead wait list and they've also started taking reservations. Enjoy your night out in Glen Ellyn at Fire and Wine, cheers!

Service in all areas was super friendly and helpful all night! Nice selection of their own mixed drinks, wine and good craft beer selection.

There's so much on the menu, my vegetarian friend had plenty to choose from and loved their gnocchi dish with veggies. I loved my salmon with fingerling potatoes and veggies.
