Absolutely love this place. My go to is the chicken quesadilla and runner up is beef taco dinner. And my kids the ice cream!

This is not a drive-by!!Checked it out because it had a rating of 4.6.We got fish and chips, stir fry with shrimp and a 12 in white pizza, which comes with tomato, broccoli, and spinach.Food, which is made to order, was great and did not feel heavy.The fish and chips which I expected to be oily was light and not greasy.This is also BYOB.Check it out!

We were traveling from Browns Mills, NJ to the country music festival in Wildwood, NJ and we stopped for lunch at the Patio Drive-In based on their excellent Google reviews. We were NOT disappointed! We shared chicken fajitas. They were outstanding and the service was excellent! We will definitely be back!

We had pretty good fish and chips. Nothing fancy of a place but it has good and is fair priced for the area

Don't ever judge a book by the cover. I stopped for a sandwich, ending up with fish & chips. I can't begin to describe how good it was. After 3 years I'm going back today. Hope we get the same experience.

I'm so glad that I read the reviews and visited - this place is awesome!!! My scallops were fantastic. The taco salad was superb. My Vanilla Malt was made with real hard ice cream, and fantastic! We were a little concerned that the place was empty, but so glad that we gave them a shot. It's definitely my new favorite local spot.
