Been going to the Drake Diner since I was a little kid and it has always been the same great food and service. Always busy on the weekends, but usually there is ample seating, especially if you don't mind sitting at the bar. Recommend highly.
Got the meat loaf meal and it was delicious. Very generous portions, I could only eat about half that was given. Service was quick and polite, food was done fast. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience.
The food is 5 star but the wait staff is 1 Star. I don’t know if they where understaffed and our waitress was overwhelmed. I didn’t expect a conversation but to be able to finish a sentence before she ran to the next table. The soda had no carbonation, even after “checking” the machine (completely flat no bubbles in the cup). And lastly I asked for a shake to go and had to ask for a to go cup. We still paid a good tip because it was our first time and didn’t want one experience to taint our visit. I’ll probably only get food to go if we order again. The food was amazing though, super hot and fresh.
Drake's Diner is a great place to go. If you're looking for fabulous breakfast food, I would recommend this place. Old fashion diner with good knowledgable staff.
Pleasant service even though it was packed. Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Exactly what you want in a home town dinner.
