Patio Drive-In - American restaurant in Pennington Gap - 43498 Veterans Memorial Hwy, USA

Always a classic! I love the Patio and you will, also. It’s worth any drive to put your lips on a tasty patio cheeseburger! I’d pit their chicken against the Colonel’s any day. Closed on Sundays!

Delicious experience! In the case of the Patio Drive-In, the second visit is the charm. After my first visit, I was not impressed and very disappointed with my experience here. My original review and rating reflected my poor experience. However, in November of 2021, my partner, a friend and I returned to the Patio for a second visit. Although I was reluctant, I'm so glad we gave this local, iconic drive-in another try. The Patio is an authentic, locally owned drive-in, and has been operating for many decades. Totally different experience. The service was remarkably better; our server/Carhop was very friendly and pleasant. She actually seemed genuinely interested in providing great, efficient service. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name. Nonetheless, I certainly appreciate her great customer service and pleasant demeanor! My partner and I both ordered cheeseburgers, onion rings and sodas, the same items ordered my first visit. I must say the food tasted better; very fresh and hot. Special kudos to the onion rings, served fresh, hot and crispy! My friend ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and onion rings. Apparently, he greatly enjoyed his lunch, since it was devoured. At the time of our visit, the facility was receiving a new paint job, which in my opinion will greatly improve the overall appearance (fresh paint never hurts anything!!) In response to the much improved service, food and overall experience on my most recent visit, I'm happy to upgrade my rating and write a favorable review! There are not many dining and restaurant options in this area. If you find yourself in this area, you should check out the Patio Drive-In. The onion rings alone are worth driving in to enjoy!!

Our first time here and we will be back! Burgers and fries were delicious! I got a blackberry shake that was out of this world! And my husband loved his chocolate milk shake! Our Harlee Jo couldn't wait to get her treat, either! The gal that took our order was super friendly and talked to us like she's known us forever! I love that every Thursday they have a car/bike cruise in. We can't wait to get the group together on Thursdays and enjoy fellowship and food!

We've only just recently discovered this spot, but we've been here quite a few times and everything's been delicious. You can't go wrong. The burgers, fries, hot dogs, fried bologna sandwiches, shakes, and the corn dogs are all awesome. The staff is friendly, it's clean, and service is fast. Highly recommend

A great local business! The service is always top notch, the food is always great. Always happy to visit and support the local business economy. Grateful we have a location like this that offers a nice variety of food, although it's not the healthiest, but it's great to have it as an option nonetheless! The burgers are a great choice and the chicken cheesesteak is pretty good as well!

This is the first time I've been to the Patio in close to 10yrs. Very disappointed. The potato wedges were undercooked. The hamburger tasted like it has sat for a few hours. The chicken, well it looked like part of the skin was pulled off. I was shorted a Cole slaw and the one order of slaw I did receive was filled halfway. The hamburger bun well look at the picture. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was the service. The girl was very nice and friendly. I think it may be another 10 yrs before I go back to the Patio.

We visited on a Tuesday night. The car hop was quick and efficient and very pleasant. Our food was quickly prepared and served and was very tasty. We will visit again and recommend this Drive-In to anyone who is looking for fast food that is superior to the national chains.

The food is very good. You can be served in your car or at tables on the patio. Fast service. On Thursday night they have a classic car cruise in.
