Yummy food we had two orders of bacon cheeseburgers with fries and my little one had chicken nuggets. No complaints on the food it was good old fashioned burgers. Staff was very friendly. Will definitely come back

I felt like I just stepped back in time to the 50’s or 60’s! This little diner kicks it out! Its clean and the gal who took our order was on it! Super friendly and great customer service skills. The burgers were the best I have had in awhile and we were starving after a long hike, so this fit the bill!

Long wait. Frozen food. No AC. No refills. Thought it was gonna be a good little independent diner like a mom and pop Dairy Queen or Foster’s Freeze. It was just a crappy little hole in the wall. Money would have been better spent at McDonalds.

Had an ortega burger here with side salad. Burger was super tiny. I know, every review I’ve been writing lately complains about portion size but this was ridic. I ate my burger super fast because there wasn’t much to it. I then turned to the salad. Shredded lettuce with some onion slices on it. Huh? Why would you shred the lettuce on a SALAD? So weird and not tasty. It was cheap to eat here but I definitely would never give it 5 stars. It reminded me of Foster Freeze or some greasy burger place from my youth so 2 stars for the food and one more for nostalgia.

First, the help is very friendly. Place is small and cutsie
Now for the bad. I ordered a hamburger and the meat was very small. You could not see be meat, only the bun. The fries were over cooked. The shrimp was good but definantly store bought (every one was identical).

My family has come to this place since 2009. Yearly, we head out to the Calaveras County for camping at the Calaveras Big Trees State Park, check out the Frog Jump of Calaveras County, or the cave tours. This is one of our stops along the way. Their Denver omelet is savory as well as their grilled chicken sandwiches! Their peanut butter shake is delectable! The service is great. They are friendly and they never forget a face.

Was driving through old small towns, got hungry & found Patio Drive-​In. Food was very good (not sure if I was really hungry) but it definitely hit the spot! be willing to stop by again once in the area.

No complaints about the service here. It really hit the spot for me as I had been craving drive-​in food for the last 40 miles or so. The burger I had wasn’t as deliriously delicious as I was hoping, but if you want some drive-​in food, don’t hesitate to stop by here.

Great services by friendly staff. They are always willing to bend the menus for me so that it’s tailored to my taste and healthy standard. They have great selection for breakfast menus to burgers and ice cream!

I got lost one time and stopped to gather myself and sense of direction at this place. Grabbed their shake and Pesto chicken sandwich with salad. The shake was perfect especially since it was so hot. Hit the spot. The chicken sandwich was really good especially since the chicken didn’t taste dry at all. It feels home made and you can’t beat that taste and feeling! The people were very nice and friendly. They even gave me directions back to civilization.
Now my only curiosity is how on earth did an Asian family decide to have a little diner in the middle of nowhere?

Very satisfied with the food and service. Don’t expect ambiance here… it is just a budget burger joint, don’t forget that.
We were greeted by a couple of very young people who were running the store. I bought the Angus burger that had:
–A good bread
–Juicy, well done burger
–Fries were tasty and fresh
Others with me bought shakes and breakfast dishes and they were very happy too.
Like someone else said in their reviews, a hidden gem! Warning, again… don’t go here expecting «atmosphere»…its a budget place with cheap furniture and no frills.

The Patio is a hidden gem in San Andreas! It’s a small family owned diner serving delicious burgers, fries and shakes. They serve breakfast too! The diner is also a great place to have private birthday parties, graduations and other celebrations. The owners and staff are super friendly. Menu prices are very affordable. If I didn’t have to drive so far I would stop every week by to get my usual burger with a fried egg! :)

I love that I can order breakfast all day! The owners are very nice people and the french fries are Excellent.
Pick the Angus Burger (not the regular burger) and you will not be disappointed. Easy walk up counter to order and they they bring your food to your booth. Fast and easy to squeeze in on your lunch hour. (Or call in your order and they will have it ready to-​go within minutes!)

The Patio reminds me of an old moms and pops type diner. The food is great and the staff is friendly. Better yet the prices are very reasonable. If you want a good burger and shake this is the place to go. I recently had breakfast there and it was yummy too. Nathan will make your food any way you like.

Great diner food. I usually get the patty melt or hot pastrami sandwich with criss-​cut fries. Made to order. Fresh and delicious. The service here is great– friendly and quick. I highly recommend this place.

This place is reminiscence of «Diner, Drive-​ins, and Dives» on the Food Network. The staffs are friendly and helpful, the building have that small town inviting feel to it. I like their burgers and shake, and one of my recommendation is the garlic fries. Ask for Nathan, he will personally crush fresh garlic for every order. All in all, this is a must go, if you ever happen drop by San Andreas.

Classic place, has everything you can think of from breakfast to burgers, milkshakes, and fried chicken. Reasonably priced, middle of town, close to inn and the high school (go Redskins!). Owners are really nice and I go here all the time.
