I’m new to the area and stopped by yesterday for lunch because of all the good reviews and Draft House DID NOT disappoint. If you enjoy hole in the walls then you should really consider visiting. The staff were friendly and explained everything on the menu for me. Had a great conversation with other patrons and the whole experience was wonderful. I ordered the Benji boy-girl burger which may sound a little strange when you first read what it comes with but it hit all the right spots on my tastebuds. After my great experience yesterday I think I plan on just going down the list to try everything.

Great hole in the wall joint. Have eaten here several times now. Prices are incredibly low, efficient & consistent service every time. One of the few places you can still get a thick bologna sandwich too. Hubby loves Benji boy-girl burger. Lots of toppings & very filling.

We stopped here for a quick lunch while on the road. It's a throwback to a bar without a jumble of TV's. We had a great lunch and a nice conversation with our bartender. We also met the lady that owned it for many years. A very welcoming experience.

I've dined twice now, and both times were a hit. I walk over every time I get my car worked on at the Good Guys shop and have a beer. Both times, I've sat there long enough to build up an appetite. Had the same bartender both times and she's really a nice woman. She's a little older but goes as quick as she can, puts your food order in right away, and checks back with you in a timely manner. My first time in, she explained that they're known for their Benji burgers and explained the difference between the three, which I appreciated. Not a lot of people care like she seemed to. I ordered the cube steak sandwich and added the grilled peppers and onions. Holy cow! Almost literally! That piece of beef was so clean tasting. The texture was so soft, almost buttery. The bartender told me they buy all their meat locally from Al's, and after that burger, you can really tell that they do. It was delicious. My second time dining, I started with the fried mushrooms. Typical dive bar fried mushrooms. Nothing to rave about, but still good. For my meal, I ordered the club on wheat bread. MAN.. when I say this club was delicious, that's a complete understatement. They use roast beef instead of turkey, which I loved. Added a bit of saltiness. I asked for a side of pickles and even those were amazing. Great flavor and crunch. I highly recommend the club sandwich here. Get it to-go if you don't want to dine in. It's worth it!
We love the Draft House their food is excellent for bar food. Always go here before the concerts at the Midland Theater.

What an amazing first time here!
Laid back bar and restaurant. Kinda reminds me of a 50s style bar. Unfortunately no TVs. But have a good jukebox and lots of things to check out on the walls.
Had the benji burger and it was fire. I give this place a 5 ⭐️
Oh and the beer 💯

Local dive with a bright and kitschy vibe. It’s odd but fun. The staff are very friendly. The older lady who owns the place is too! The burgers are cheap, but they taste cheap too -not a bad thing, but don’t expect much. The food is decent and the beer is cold. Everything is a good price. I will be back
