Patio Drive In: Reviews & Ratings

I have been coming to the patio drive in for a few months now and the service and food is always exceptional. They have friendly employees always happy to serve you and make you feel welcome. Good service and good customer service is hard to find these days. I am in customer service today and I am very pleased and happy with this business. I can say the food is most excellent as it is always prepared fresh when you order it and not sitting under the heat lamp. This business cooks to prepare your order as you shall ask for it. It is hot and always very tasty and that is why I go here at least 3 times a week because they know how to treat their customers and guaranteed to satisfy every time. Thank you to all the hard workers and their excellent customer satisfaction that we all appreciate so much. Wendy

This is my favorite restaurant of all time. The food is awesome their burgers are good their fry's are super crispy and have good seasoning. The food is always fresh. Customer service is awesome and good price for the quantity of food. Their chicken strips and chicken sandwiches are good too. Inside is clean and lots of space to sit down and there is a patio you can sit outside and eat at. I would 100% recommend 10/10 must try again

Always a great place to eat. Food for a delicious and very generous portions and service is excellent. Really spacious and clean inside too. Just a great place to eat even when it's packed with the local high school cretins.

I was surprised there wasn't much more business here because the food... WAS GREAT! Little ice cream/burger shop that's been here forever but when I saw they had breakfast we decided to give it a go! $42 for two breakfasts and a large order of biscuits and gravy. Eggs Benedict was amazing! Sauce was in my opinion just right and the corned beef was equally as great! This will for sure be a normal weekend spot from here on out! Service was simple and kind Business is small inside but I did see outside seating Price point for portion was more than fair We left full with some to go! Great little spot

After months of following Patio Dive In on Facebook. We finally made it here! I can tell you IT DIDNOT DISAPPOINT! The pictures they post make the food look amazing. You know pictures sometimes can be deceiving. But not here. These guys are making some amazing things to eat. We left Nevada yesterday morning in hopes that we would make it here in time for breakfast and we did thankfully. Patio Drive In is not a super big restaurant. The parking is kinda small. But there is parking on the street. So you should be able to get a spot. If not park down the street and walk here. Because it's worth it. My wife ordered the French toast with an egg with sausage and I had the corned beef hash breakfast with hash browns and sourdough toast. The food didn't take long at all and tasted as good as I had hoped. I came in with high expectations and they delivered. I can't believe I've passed by this place all this time. Well it won't happen again. I can't wait to go back and try one of their lunch items. Kudos to Patio Drive In for making great food and having great service!

This little ole burger stand has a small hometown charm to it. The place is not fancy. Basic. It has indoor seating which is a nice air conditioned respite in the summertime. The staff and staff friendly and welcoming. They have a super large menu, lots of items to choose from. Breakfast items, corn dogs, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and sides (fries, taters, chicken strips, fried mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms, egg rolls, fried zucchini). I ordered a corn dog. It was the premade kind and they fresh fry it. Some of the items are fresh made while others are premade frozen. Typical fast food type food. Plus they have lots of dessert choices. Soft serve, milkshakes with 20 flavors, smoothies (four flavors), frappes, Thai iced tea, and Cambodian iced tea. Last month when I dropped in, lots of folks stopped by to grab desserts. It seemed to be a popular place for that.

Patio Drive In is located in a small town in the hills, about an hour east of Lodi. The restaurant is situated on the main drag through town, on the way to just about wherever you would be likely to be headed. Better still, I've never passed the place when it wasn't open. I've eaten at this place three times now, as I've had recent business in this out of the way corner of the Golden State. I can recall ordering both the breakfast burrito and sausage and cheese omelette. Both were above average and service was not slow. More significantly, on each occasion I've been there, I've spent at least an hour poring over papers related to what I've been working on. This may seem like a small thing. It isn't to me. I wasn't hassled and the place is quiet. I have appreciated the small courtesy, and will be back to eat here again and again.

Great lil mom and pops hidden gem! Patio Drive-in's name is catchy and I was already checking it out driving past it on the way to Natural Bridges. On the way back, I knew I had to stop by for some grub. It's not actually a drive-in, but just a local mom and pops shop with everything you could possibly want after a long day on the creek - burgers, sandos, coffee, dipped cones, coffee, and breakfast all day! What?! Spicy Jalapeño Burger 5/5* This was a big boy! With chipotle sauce and jalapeños, it definitely packed some heat. I could barely fit a bite in with it being so loaded! It came with a mountain of steak fries, so fresh out of the fryer that it burned my fingertips trying to eat them, and stayed hot throughout the meal. Patty Melt 4/5* Damn, the perfectly grilled, buttery, crisp rye bread couldn't hold in the massive amount of meat in this patty melt. The patty was thick and well seasoned. The cheese was nice and gooey. A bit more gooeyness and this would've been dreamy. Came with the same mountain of hot-ass crispy fries. Wish I had swapped it out for tater tots instead. Iced Cambodian Coffee 5/5* What a treat to be able to get good coffee in the late afternoon! This is a sweeter, slightly smoky, less intense version of Vietnamese coffee. Don't skip out on this, it's delicious. I even saw one lady buy some with no ice to save it for the next morning. The guy at the counter was super friendly and I thought maybe it was the owner? I love how mom and pops spots treat you like family. They definitely feed you like family, so be prepared to eat! The portions are huge and will leave you satisfied. There were so much fries, it filled an entire to-go box! I was so stuffed I didn't get to try their chocolate dipped cones. Will need to come back for that next time. I mean, where else can you get a dipped cone without going to a fair?
