We take great pride in using only the finest quality ingredients freshly-prepared the old-fashioned way. We never cut corners! Our famous Barbecue Ribs and Rotisserie Chicken are always cooked fresh throughout the day, and our signature smoked meats – sliced Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Pulled Turkey – are seasoned and slow-cooked for hours. We make our own soups from scratch daily and we even grind and patty our own hamburgers. The way we do things may require extra effort, but we believe you can really taste the difference!
For over 43 years, we continue to follow the same philosophy – quality, value, exceptional service and delicious barbecue!
Informal BBQ outfit known for ribs, rotisserie chicken, slow-cooked meats & familiar sides.

I tried the Italian Pork Sandwich and it exceeded all expectations. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Getting the au jus on the side was a great choice and made the experience even better. Everything tasted spot on and I am already looking forward to coming back.

My son fell in love with this place. If it was up to him, he would eat here every day. Everything is amazing the food so far has been good it has only been 3 times we have came. The people who clean up are so polite. There is a lady that cleans the tables she was so sweet last time we visited and today as well❤️. We had the same cashiers the two 1st times they where amazing today we had a young lady, she well, we would stick with the same ones we had last time. The bathrooms are cleaned and smell good. As well as the whole place. It’s cleans and tidy. The food is served pretty fast and they make sure to ask you if you are missing any food before they leave the table. Will keep posting as we continue to visiting The Patio.

Don’t ever order off delivery apps. The patio asks you if you want an extra sauce. You specify yes, and select the sauce. 1 sauce. And pay for the extra sauce. You even pay for a sauce if you’re buying their chicken tenders, which should come with a sauce. Which is fine. If they send the correct sauce you wanted with your order, and not TWO SAUCES that you didn’t want; when you only paid for 1 specific sauce. It’s like they’re doing it on purpose. Could have mixed two sauces if you’re being petty patio

This Patio was GREAT! Good pulled pork sandwich. Sandwich was tender and full of sauce. Fresh fries and great customer service. Great job. I will be back. Hopefully they will keep up the great work.

The Patio is one of the best places in the Chicagoland area for barbeque pork. Their food is always delicious with ample portions. Their BBQ pork sandwich is hands down one of the best you can find and their ribs are also fantastic! Their restaurants are spacious and clean, and the staff is always friendly. I highly recommend the Patio for not only their BBQ, but they also have a huge menu/selection of all types of tasty entrees that can satisfy everyone. Everything on their menu is good! Highly recommended.

I recently ordered takeout from The Patio, and overall, I was pleased with the experience. The food was well-prepared, but since I opted for takeout, it wasn’t quite as hot and fresh by the time I picked it up. While I can’t comment on the dine-in service or atmosphere, I can say that the dishes still tasted good and were packaged well enough to enjoy at home. I would definitely try their takeout again, and next time, I might consider dining in to experience the food at its best.

I have been eating at The Patio for years in different locations- Tinley Park, Bolingbrook and Darien and without fail, whether dining in or carryout, the food and service have been excellent. The staff pays attention to detail and is always professional! They are one of the few restaurants that survived the effects of the pandemic unscathed. They continue to provide quality food, service and prices that are worth it!! I love this place!!!

We chose this restaurant thinking it was a complete sit down with wait stuff. Unfortunately, we had to order at the counter and then our food would be delivered to our table, similar to walking into a regular fast food restaurant. The order taker/cashier was impatient as we decided what we wanted to order. This was not good since we had never been here.
We ordered the shrimp, with fries, coleslaw and corn on the cob, which was pretty decent. The other meal that included Cajun chicken, grilled mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes and French bread was a different story. The temperature of the food was not even lukewarm, the vegetables were not completely done and the French bread was not on the plate.
The dining area was spacious and well lit. The employees did a good job of maintaining.
The price of the meal definitely didn’t match what was served. Probably won’t be going back to this restaurant again.

This is our favorite go to restaurant for carry out! We order on the user friendly App- earn real rewards and pick up at the drive-thru. Easy and always ready and hot as promised!! We also like to dine here occasionally- cozy atmosphere and always delicious! My personal favorite are the dry rub ribs, mixed vegetables and a milkshake! Honestly you can’t go wrong with any of their food! Everything we have had (and we have tried basically everything) is delicious
