My favorite burger in the Monterey area! We drive from PG for these burgers. Great shakes too. And the couple running the restaurant are so sweet!

Great place to stop on the way to Carmel Valley for a pre-wine tasting lunch! Friendly staff as well!

I've been going to Patio Drive In since I was a kid. Consistently great burgers, fries, and everything else. I recommend the Patio Burger with fries. If you're interested in a heavier meal, the chili cheese fries, cheese and jalapeño fries are also great. I also like that you can call in your order and it will be ready at the time they promised. Give them a try and keep their drive in burgers going for many more years.

Family owned, and opperated. Some people, like Patio Drive In, are intensely passionate about their work and the product they put out. So much so that it can appear gruff, and that can rub people the wrong way. Lemme tell you, the food, the product they're putting out, is WORTH it. I've never had a bad time here.. Over the years, I've ordered different items off the menu, just to see what The Patio Experience is like, and it is goooood.
10/10, one of the only places I go when I want a top-notch burger...and fries...and their shakes are delicious.

After getting my box of jumbo artichokes from the Guidotti farm out there on Turtleback Ranch Road I was all in for a nice lunch. The farmer told me "Bout the best place to eat is the Patio Drive In" So...off I went.
My sandwich pulled in at about 3 pounds, it took everything I could muster to eat it all.
5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆

Down to Earth all American hamburger. Simple ingredients and great flavor. The fresh beef patty was the star of the show.
