Do yourself a favor and order Drake's famous fried chicken....off the charts good. And I tried the shrimp and grits for the first time. Shrimp were huge and the flavors were great. Nice wine list and craft cocktails. Always had great meals here.

Service was great... until we needed to go and it was painful. To actually find someone to get us the check. The sever was wonderful and attentive, but it was incredibly busy by the time we needed to go. Food is always great. Shrimp and cheese grits were really good! My hubs fried chicken was delicious and they were conscientious about making sure he had no onions( he's allergic). Other than the couple picking at each other next to us( we can't control that) ambience is fun and has a great vibe. I would just say finish as strong as you start. Don't ignore your first guests of the night for the round.

We had the best time visiting this restaurant and our waiter, Martin, was charming, helpful and wonderful for our entire meal. We would 10/10 come back to this restaurant if we are in the area again in the future!

Service was very slow, but it appeared there was only one person behind the cooktop so that could explain it. Cook’s hair was pulled back but her “bangs” were very long and not pulled back. It took at least 20 minutes, maybe more before our food arrived. My cheeseburger was very good, as were the fries. My friend had a salad but the kitchen had to swap the greens, to which she consented as long as there was no frisée. After she began eating she discovered at least a 1/3 of the greens were - you guessed it - frisée. Regardless, we had a pleasant lunch.

We love the Drake and it makes such a great place for any celebration! Their cocktails are excellent and the fried chicken is a family favorite. The staff is so friendly and amenable. They even changed the channel so we could watch women’s college basketball.
