The Patio Downtown - Gainesville

I live 1 hour and 20 minutes away from The Patio but it's worth the drive. Their NY Cheese n Pepperoni is deeeelish! The owner (I'm assuming) and waitress/bartender are very friendly and make you feel very welcomed. The restaurant is small but roomy, clean, cute, just full of good vibes. I'll definitely be driving over an hour to eat there again.

I used to order here all the time and the boneless wings were giant and flavorful? no me they just cut up a chicken strip and smother it in bbq. It?s a waste of 10 dollars

Found this place through Google Maps while looking for a local establishment. We had the the Patio Smashburger and the bone-in wings, both with fries. The smashburger tasted great ????, but I should have stuck with the single as it isn't smashed as thin as Freddie's or Steak and Shake. The beef had great flavor and is topped with a large fried onion ring and their special sauce. I highly recommend it, but as a double, I could barely get it into my mouth. The wings were good and meaty and can be ordered with multiple flavored sauces. The fries were good, but are not my favorites as they are the processed seasoned fries (I call them fake fries). I would have liked a good real crinkle cut fry, but that's just my preference. For drinks, they have multiple beers on tap and Coke products. The only diet choice is Coke Zero, which I'm not a fan of either. The pizza at our neighbor's table looked really good as well, and we could see the cook slinging the dough in the kitchen. I'll come back, and will have to try the pizza with a good beer...

Wife and I stopped in based on the reviews. It was nice to see a husband and wife team working the place. Both were very personable and friendly!! Food was good and was done in a more than reasonable amount of time considering all fresh made. Prices were very fair as well!! If back in the area again, we'll be stopping there again!!

This is legit great pizza, y?all! If you haven?t tried them yet run on in and order a pie here, you won?t be disappointed. Is anyone else kinda surprised that Gainesville is slowly becoming a foodie town? Krootz, Goodies on Board, Fuku, Sarah?s on the Square, etc? all really good food. Enter ?The Patio? into the mix now as well and we have us a reason to be proud of the place. Service great, nice and clean dining room, and the food is always spot on. I?ve gotten both to-go and dine-in and have never been less than thrilled. Hand made pizza, scratch salsa with chips and perfect wings, who couldn?t find something to like here?! Haven?t tried the burgers yet but I?m such a fan of pizza (think Homer Simpson and donuts) that I have little need to venture away from their perfect slice of pepperoni! Cheers y?all, thanks for bringing great food to the square!
