What they do is food that has been continuing for over 60 years. This place is ran by a family-owned small restaurant. Their goal is to serve crave-able old-fashioned hamburgers you can’t find anywhere else these days with all the fast junk foods. Thus, they are keeping the place the same old times from the 60’s to make the consistent food to serve you. They make their own sauces from scratch, meats and vegetables are freshly cut daily, and hate being compared to other fast-food franchises. They serve just fresh good food to you that you would not regret and forget.

Wow, shame on us for not trying this place WAY sooner. Everything we got was delicious and we can’t wait to go back and try other items like their teriyaki. They have some awesome words on their signage so make sure to read that lol. Limited seating inside

Food is pretty good for whst is asked on the price. Problem is that the service and establishment itself bring it down lower, as does the inaccuracy of the order.
I asked the gentlemen if they did lettuce wrapped burgers, but he seemed utterly confused by the simple request. I got my order with no bun instead and with pickles even though I politely asked for none.
The establishment itself needs some tidy, paint and clean up as it feels like it needs a bit of maintenance inside.
I wasn’t avle to get a full good look of it wither as they kicked me out for having a service animal with me, forcing me to eat outside. That’s a major mistake. I was hoping to try more on my next visit, but due to that, I won’t be back. It’s a pity.
I can’t recommend this place. Sorry.

Cute little place that we stopped at to get lunch. On our way down from San Francisco on Highway one. It was just a cute older couple running it and a good amount of people inside having lunch with us. The menu is pretty extensive as they have American and Asian items available. Some of the prices are a little high but I understand why, as it’s a small town, so the import prices may be higher.
The parking lot is a little tight, so just be careful going around the corners and parking. There is a bathroom on the backside of the building but it’s a little sketchy but it gets the job done.
It took maybe a few minutes for our food be ready and it was all hot and very delicious. They did mess up Our onion rings as they thought we wanted those instead of your fries and not add it on but that’s OK. They were still delicious.
You can also order outside at the order menu, if you’d rather just grab and go instead of sitting down. Like I said, a cute little spot for a quick lunch!

Great food with serious pride put into each and every item on the menu. The teriyaki chicken plate is a go to meal! These guys make a perfect burger too. It’s great to see a place still open and thriving since 1951.

Oh my god!! Their burgers are so good!! And fries too!! We stopped by today on our way to Monterey and it exceeded so much of our expectations. It looks like a family-run burger place, warm and cute, and the people here are so nice. 😀 we would love to visit again on our way back. Really made our day. Thanks!

My wife and I are from out of town and decided to try this place after several others disappointed us. We wanted a burger and saw this on the map and we are so happy we did! One of the BEST burgers I’ve ever had in my life. A simple bacon burger but man was it good! The strawberry shake was amazing, and the jalapeno fries were a perfect add on to the meal. Great pricing, fast service, and DELICIOUS food. I recommend completely!

After getting my box of jumbo artichokes from the Guidotti farm out there on Turtleback Ranch Road I was all in for a nice lunch. The farmer told me “Bout the best place to eat is the Patio Drive In” So…off I went.
My sandwich pulled in at about 3 pounds, it took everything I could muster to eat it all.
5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆

WE WERE SHARING A STEAK SANDWICH AND THIS MAN REFUSED TO CUT IT IN HALF FOR US! Further bulling me with a chest thrust. Wth? The meat on the sandwich itself was sparingly thin and extremely salty. I guess this couple must’ve been in a bad mood? Or fighting, unless this is how they normally treat their customers. I’ve been here once before when a young lady was working, She was very nice and our sandwich came cut in half. GO FIGURE!

Ordered patio burger, mini burg (only $3!), and cheesy fries. Really tasty, quick, good service, and even better that lunch clocked in at just $15. Can’t wait to come back for the teriyaki, Ortega burger, and so many fun items on their menu!

I’ve been going to Patio Drive In since I was a kid. Consistently great burgers, fries, and everything else. I recommend the Patio Burger with fries. If you’re interested in a heavier meal, the chili cheese fries, cheese and jalapeño fries are also great. I also like that you can call in your order and it will be ready at the time they promised. Give them a try and keep their drive in burgers going for many more years.
