Editorial Review for The Patio Restaurant – by Jennifer Olvera
The Scene
From toddlers to frat boys to cardigan-wearing grandmothers, just about everyone seems to dig this south suburban Bridgeview eater. In the atrium-style space with high ceilings and tall windows loaded with faux foliage, diners order food from one counter and grab beers at the bar. Sports fans and news hounds keep an eye on one of the seven TVs scattered around the room. Food delivery is lightning-quick, which keeps regulars happy and eager to return.
The Food
Messy, fall-off-the-bone baby backs slathered with spicy brow-mopping barbecue sauce are the must-have here. Crunchy potato pockets filled with cheese and jalapenos are satisfying alternatives to poppers, while lemony, roasted chicken oreganato alongside orzo-laced, rosemary-chicken soup comforts with pizzazz. Calorie counting? Bite into the lean, pulled pork sandwich or the feta-flecked Greek salad with piquant red wine vinaigrette. For dessert, chuck the diet and indulge in the luxe, exceedingly dense banana cream pie parfait layered with custard and bananas and sprinkled with cinnamon.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkWine and beer must be ordered separately, at the bar. Go for a brew--Heineken, Bass and Guinness are among those on tap. Not only do they do a great job of washing down barbecue, they're served super-cold in frosted pint glasses.
The ExtrasIn a hurry? The restaurant also features drive-through service. Be on the lookout for signs guiding drivers toward an easy exit. And be careful--Harlem Avenue can be tricky to cross.

This is one of the best barbecued rib place in town. The ambience is great - casual dining. You can also get burgers, roasted chicken, and other menu items but they are best known for their barbecued ribs and pulled pork burgers.
Pros: Available free parking and drive thru
Cons: None
