Restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere but is extremely loud with all the customers talking in such a small area, making it hard to hear family. The server was very nice, but either because they were understaffed for the amount of people there or some other reason, we were left waiting for our check and service for a long while. My family enjoyed their meals, although the chowder was very strange. It seemed to be a mix of cheddar soup and clam chowder (very salty in my opinion). I personally could not eat more then a few bites of my flank steak which left me feeling a touch ill. The steak was very salty, the broccoli robe was a touch bland, and the potatoes were inedible from the shear amount of salt and garlic piled on them (it looked as if you put ten minced garlic cloves onto eight potatoes). Which is a shame cause the plate looked beautiful and the potatoes, at first, looked divine. Hopefully this was a one time error on the kitchen, but I dont see myself going back with all the other wonderful restaurants around.

Literally the worst gin & tonic I have ever received. Not real tonic water and no carbonation. Would have complained to the waiter but had to run. Food was good tho.

Visiting the Cape from West Coast and tried Drifters. Simply put, this is a great place. Pre-dinner drinks in bar were top notch. Menu has typical dishes with unique and high end twist. Fresh oysters and short rib pasta were so delicious. Highly recommend.

We're staying in South Chatham and were searching for a good, casual restaurant. Read the reviews and thought we'd try Drifters.
My wife ordered fish and chips and enjoyed it. I ordered the Jayne burger with fries, medium, and it was cooked as I preferred - unfortunately, it and the fries were cool to the touch and the bottom part of the bun was soggy soft - the restaurant wasn't all that busy but, apparently, our food sat out for awhile before it was served.
We weren't overly impressed this time, but we'd try it again sometime..

My husband and I had a great meal here our first night visiting the area. The white bean dip was one of the best I’ve had and the kimchi fritters were really good! We were both pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of everything. We would love to go back and enjoy drinks and apps again.

An absolute must go! Amazing location, atmosphere, and service.
Best bartenders/barbacks on the Cape, food is always consistent and prompt. The best wings (all 3 flavors are ++). Burgers.
Dylan is a mensch and turned the ooold Cumbys into one of my favorite spots called Drifters.
5-stars.

I watched them handle some of the worst customers in the world with a smile on their faces the whole time. Amazing food, personable staff, and great service.

My wife and I came here while on our honeymoon in May of 24 from Michigan. We were blown away by the cocktails, crab cakes, burger, and most importantly the staff. We sat at the bar and talked with the owner all night and got the full story of how Drifters came to be. Incredible experience - We even bought a hoodie on the way out! We are coming back in June and this will be our first stop. We cannot recommend Drifters enough. Best food in Chatham.
