My wife and I love this place. Tons of great options. We particularly love the chicken kabobs, legit better than any Greek restaurant and big enough that we can share and both have more than enough. Everything is made to order so you won’t get anything that’s been sitting under a heat lamp. So many great salads, sandwiches, and dinners. Highly recommend.

We were in the area (Rt 59) looking for a place for lunch. We drove past ‘The Patio’ on 59 and decided to try it out.

The drive-through line had cars waiting, the parking lot was decently full, all good signs people enjoyed this restaurant. So, we parked and went on.

I forgot to take outdoor photos, but took some pictures of the inside.

We split a full slab of ribs, fries, and soft drinks.

Good food! Staff was friendly and repeated order for verification. You are given a number to place on your table of choice. Food delivered to table as all restaurants with this feature.

All good then. Sometimes I cut the ribs and eat with a fork. I decided not to use a fork, so I brushed off extra bbq sauce.

We are from northwest suburbs, and there has to be a vacant lot to build ‘The Patio’ up here.

I didn’t take a picture of the large menu at the entrance; people were entering the restaurant and I didn’t want to disturb them.

The Patio Aurora always overdelivers. The staff is wonderful and efficient, the food is consistently delicious, and the portions are generous. When we can’t bring a home-cooked meal to my mom in her nursing home, we rely on The Patio and they never let us down. We’re very thankful for them.

I'm from a few hours away, and this was recommended by a local friend.

Stepping from the car, the smell hits you right away and amplifies your hunger exponentially.

Getting inside, the dining area was open and clean. We were greeted promptly and allowed plenty of time to peruse the menu. My wife had lemon herb salmon, my child had the grilled cheese, and I ordered the brisket burger and fries.

After a brief wait, our food came out and looked amazing. I was served a brisket sandwich and not the burger I ordered. I took it back to the cashier who admitted the mistake on keying it incorrectly. The manager was not happy, and made me feel momentarily that I was a problem. I just wanted what I ordered. She said it would take a moment and they would bring it to me. I thanked them, and as I walked away, I could hear her tell the cashier that she needed him to pay better attention. I dont disagree but customers do not need to be greeted with hostility over a complaint, and certainly should not hear a correction to an employee. Those conversations, especially in a customer service establishment, need to happen away from customers.

I was brought the correct meal and it was amazing. Rave reviews from all in my party. The char-grilling on the burger was perfect. The brisket and both original and Hot N Spicy sauces were amazing. The salmon was delightful and there portions are huge!!!

9.5/10. Would certainly come back!

When we walked in you can see the place is incredibly clean and organized. Menu is easy to read and the staff is patient when ordering. We had the brisket that was moist and flavored well that was a very large portion for the 18.99 they charge which came with a potato choice, bread and coleslaw. We also had the Turkey that came with mash potatoes. We had the broccoli and cheese soup that was very tasty also. After you order they give you a number and you find a seat and they bring your order out to you. The delivery time was under 5 minutes so if you are in a hurry they will get you on your way quickly. The staff is friendly and the place is very clean. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Amazing business.
