The Patio - Bolingbrook

I want to like this place. The menu is wide-ranging. The drive thru is convenient. For a place that’s labeled as a barbecue place, the brisket comes pre-sauced and feels like it was just warmed up from a prepackaged bag (I hope I’m wrong) and the ribs were dry, like you had to work for it. I’m not saying don’t go, but you should manage expectations if you’ve been blessed enough to have true smoked meats. I do hope you enjoy and support this local chain, but never watch that video series about how Sysco is ruining our restaurants.

We had the smoked brisket burger and the Italian beef with all the fixings—both good choices. If you’re thinking about what to get, I’d recommend either of those! One of the things I really appreciate about The Patio is how consistent they are across their locations. I’ve been to a few in different suburbs, and each one delivers the same quality: good food, good service, and a relaxed, casual vibe. It’s just a genuinely nice place to hang out. The food feels like a notch above your typical casual spot, and the atmosphere makes it easy to kick back and enjoy your meal. Whether you’re trying this location or another one, you can count on a consistently good experience. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely phenomenal experience! The food was nothing short of outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor—clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and incredible attention to detail. Each bite was better than the last, and the portions were perfectly satisfying. To top it off, the service was seamless and timely, and the overall experience exceeded all expectations. This is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend for a special occasion or anyone looking for an unforgettable meal. We will definitely be back!

Omg this is so nice and spacious it’s probably roomy like this because it snowed out and hardly anyone is outside I got the brisket tacos in the order of fries. It does not come in a meal together. You get three brisket tacos and the fries are all the cart. My bill was $21 and some change. The food was very good. I was able to eat two of my tacos and a handful of fries and I am so stuffed.

The food was terrible. Potatoes dried. And all the meat had a burnt taste. The chicken breast dinner was gross. It tasted like fave smoke seasoning. If you like smoked flavor you might like it. They did not have any corn on the cob. So i tried corn muffin. It was nasty. I will definitely never eat here again.
