Drakes is a popular restaurant that offers an extensive menu and a vibrant atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a variety of dishes, including seasonal salads, steak and eggs, country potatoes, egg Benedict, and Croque Madam. The service is prompt, friendly, and exceptional, with large portions at a reasonable price. The restaurant has a bright and clean design, with a cozy outdoor seating area. Trivia nights are hosted on Wednesdays, and brunch is highly recommended. The food quality impresses many, with dishes like chicken and waffles and the Denver omelet receiving positive feedback. The country potatoes are well seasoned, and the Bloody Mary Spicy cocktail is a popular choice for those who enjoy a spicy kick. Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner or brunch, as wait times can be long on weekends. Overall, Drakes remains a great spot for breakfast and brunch, with friendly servers and delicious food. Visitors find the atmosphere and service add to the experience, and the food often exceeds expectations. The corned beef hash Benedict is highly praised, with crispy tater tots that are hard to resist. However, some note that the menu is mostly breakfast-oriented, and options for a traditional lunch can be limited. The restaurant's old building and lively ambiance make it a favorite for Sunday brunch, but guests suggest making reservations as it tends to fill up quickly. While most mention the food and service positively, some feel it is a little pricier and fancier, but worth the experience.
