About Drake Diner

The Drake Diner is a nostalgic, 50's-themed diner serving burgers and breakfast. It’s a kid-friendly spot with a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The diner offers a variety of meals, including the popular vegetable cheese soup, and is easily accessible for those with mobility issues. The staff provides excellent service, making it a great place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Customers have praised the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast, hash browns, and sausage, describing their breakfast experience as outstanding and fresh. The biscuits and gravy are good, though some feel the gravy could use a bit more seasoning. The atmosphere is lively and fun, with a sense of being a blast from the past. The staff, especially the courteous waitress, is consistently friendly and attentive, making guests feel welcome. The restaurant is very clean and well-kept, and even during busy times, service remains fast and efficient. Meals like Eggs Benedict are prepared perfectly and served quickly, with big portions that satisfy. Customers also enjoy the fruit cup, presented in a cute display, and the option to take their smoothies to go in adorable cups. Overall, many find the food fantastic and plan to return, appreciating the warm service and inviting environment of this local spot.

We experienced discrimination at this diner by two rude door greeting hostesses. When we brought it to this Diners attention it was ignored. They also deleted our comment on their greasy fish post so nobody could see. Avoid this haunted greasy spoon at all costs!

My name name is Ben and I am 11 years old. It was our first time eating here and Nadir was our sever and he was so kind and nice.we really liked him as our sever. I loved the Bingo game and the prizes. Thank you very much for the prizes.

My name is Olivia and I am 8 years old and I loved 🥰 the spaghetti. I had fun because nadir talked to us and sometimes grownups dont really talk to the kids plus nadir showed us how to do the yoyos we got from bingo. thank u!!!! 😀🤨🥰
