The Patio of Orland Park on 195th Street
We finished up our mini-vacation in Illinois on Saturday. The purpose of our trip was so J could judge an IHSA speech regional in Orland Park which is another one of Chicago’s south suburbs. I slept in, but met her at the school later in the day. When it was time to head back to Michigan, we left straight from there instead of going back to her parents. Before we could do that though, we had to make one more stop for food.
The Patio Restaurant of Orland Park is one of four in a local chain. It’s another place that J’s parents eat at often and have suggested to us in the past. The Patio sits on 195th Street. The building is huge. The parking lot…not so much. It took a while for us to find a spot on a busy Saturday night. I didn’t have much hope of actually getting a table, but J assured me we would be ok.
The inside of The Patio is a wide open space that is decorated to resemble a patio. The furniture is more patio furniture than lawn furniture and the ceilings are high, vaulted, and decorated to make you feel like it is open air. The restaurant is set up so you order in the front of the building then take a seat with a number. Your food is brought to you a few minutes later. Read the rest of this entry »
