Love the salads at the patio and go there about three times a month. Had dinner there tonight and wanted to give a big thumbs up to the young lady at the order taking counter. Her name is Skyy. She is very pleasant, helpful and kind. I hope they keep her around.

-Great food (Ribs & Pulled Pork) -Excellent Friendly Service, FAST -No pressure on the POS system to press you for a tip. Ridiculous practice at many restaurants. Top it off, Wayne the "big boss" accepted a $10 gift card from (20) years ago that we recently found. They definitely have earned my future business. "Bravo" Darien Patio Team

The Patio is an awesome local chain so my wife and I decided to go to their Darien location one night for dinner. I ordered the chicken ranchero sandwich, which is chicken breast, bacon, lettuce & tomato and a ranch aioli. It was delicious! I had a bite from my wife's pulled pork sandwich and I told her that I'd try that when we're back. Service was quick and friendly - we will definitely be back!

Love this location,everything is always delicious . I usually get the ribs and pulled pork combo. I love their baked potatoes they cook them the correct way with oil and salt rubbed on the outside. The chicken tenders are really good too!

The food was sooo delicious here. I got an apple pecan salad with chicken and the chicken was so well seasoned and not dry at all. The dressing was not too heavy, sweet and complimented the rest of the dish well. I also got the Cajun shrimp which tasted best with a squeeze of lemon on it, otherwise it was slightly dry. But the seasoning was yummy. My boyfriend got the brisket and it was so soft and the sauce was incredible. Next time I'll get that. It's a la carte so it is a little pricey, but worth the cost. You order your food and then it's brought to the table, it was pretty fast service. The restaurant is casual but feels a little more fancy than most restaurants of this style in the dining area. I definitely recommend it. So many yummy options.

Always delicious and consistent. Soup is something I normally get, I like all of the varieties. All the food is solid and we get it all the time. Some favorites are the lemon oreganto chicken, the chicken wings, and the appetizers.

A go to. Everything is good. Order ahead with a twenty minute lead time and You should be fine. Inside is clean, efficient, and inviting. Good for carry out or dine in. Well run by good people. Good for families and in good weather you can usually eat outside. They have their own barbecue sauce. Go get a kabob or a pulled turkey sandwich, or a hot dog. The Patio will take care of You.
