Patio Drive-In

Larry busts his butt to bring us new food & everything is made from scratch! Cant get enough macaroni and cheese! But the desserts his wife makes homemade are literally TO DIE FOR!! Great place to eat everyday!!

I ordered the grilled chicken deluxe with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. It was great! It had the perfect balance of mayo and lettuce. The kaiser roll was think enough not to get soggy but still didn't outweigh the chicken. The chicken was seasoned and grilled well and wasn't dry. The fries were good and the vanilla milkshake was a great consistency and tasted great. It's a nice place to eat inside in a traditional looking diner booth or outside during the warmer weather. I don't get there very often but I always enjoy it when I do go.

We eat here regularly. New menu includes fried bologna sandwich & kielbasa sandwich. The fish fry is the best i have had in along time. If you like gravy fries or gravy tots this is the place to go. The new owner is friendly/welcoming and staff is very welcoming. Staff is very good for positive public relations.

This is a great family restaurant. The staff is awesome, food was great, decent sized portions & prices. They are burgers, chicken, sandwiches, did not see any breakfast items on the menu. And I believe the sign said they only do soup in the fall & winter. They are open year round, not just a summer place. I will post a picture of the hour's as they change for the summer to winter.

I've lived in Utica all my life and have driven by this place a million times but have never been. Seems hard to believe. Finally made an effort to go. Well worth it. Extremely tasty food. Good prices. I had a bacon cheeseburger and a milkshake. Highly recommend.

Although there are new owners, the restaurant has been has not changed one bit, including the historical and famous Chilli Dogs. Larry continues to produce delicious food at affordable prices. Definitely a big part of Utica's famous foods. Oh, and the waitresses are kind, friendly and on the ball.

Fantastic homemade food and soups! A truly fantastic fish fry! Wonderful desserts to top off your dinner. Reasonably priced with great staff!

Best fish Fry ever! Pulled in to turn around in traffic & said why not to myself. Its one of the best diners I found outside of Rochester,since moving here.Going Back

A nice homely place that goes back a few generations, the Patio Drive-In is a quaint little diner among countless chains. You won't get many places that are willing to learn about your life while still serving great food. To a critic, the cuisine might not be "exquisite," but to a layman, the food options are very classic and retro. Good food, great staff, excellent atmosphere.

First time back after change in ownership. I was so happy to find the food was just as good as ever. Still the best chili dogs hands down!

Good food for a small place. Been there many times before. Owner going to retire so hope the food stays good. His homemade soup is to die for

Picked up lunch for myself and 2 coworkers, chilli dogs and fries and man did they hit the spot. Great food, fast service. On a half hour lunch I made it back with time to spare. Two thumbs up

Staff is always friendly. Food is always good. Reasonable wait time. We’ve been coming here for 12+ years. Nothing has change! Just all around great!

Great place that's locally owned by a really nice guy! Get the Big boy with everything and chili cheese fries 🍟🍟🍟!!! You won't go home hungry!

I came here with some relatives after a long seven-hour bus ride from Lexington, MA. Of course, I was very hungry, and my hamburger I ordered hit the spot! They also serve delicious pies, such as: Banana crème, Pumpkin, & Oreo crème pies. I will defiantly be coming back! GREAT JOB PATIO!

For muscle car enthusiasts, this is the place to be. Loving Corvettes is an understatement and the day I went, I was like child in a candy store. Everywhere I looked was a Corvette, OH MY. Every week is a different theme, I wonder what it will be next week.

This has become my go-to place for a meal. Great food, good prices. It's better than what you'd expect from a diner.

Best diner around. Awesome atmosphere and friendly staff. Owner is present and takes genuine interest in your dining experience.

Nice little home town place. The food is all home made and their soups are fantastic. Fast friendly service.
