Can't say enough good things about Drae's. Great atmosphere, great service and great food. Very low key interior but the service was better than most places I've been that are twice the price. Made us feel right at home and will definitely be back.

Popeyes, who? Best chicken sandwich I've had anywhere. Like any great experience, I was a little depressed when I was finished. My partner had the grits bowl, and it was loaded! Not just stuff thrown into a dish, but perfectly loaded up with flavor. The waffle my kiddo had was somehow crispy and soft at the same time. The bacon was thick and wide. The mimosa was strong, and the service was impeccable. The front of the house and kitchen staff sent us off with a thank you. It felt like a community, and we will be back.

We came for a brunch experience and had a fantastic time – the food was expertly curated, and tasted perfect!!! The chicken and waffles were so unbelievably well done and deliciously crisp.

We also go a strawberry lemonade and 100% came to the conclusion that it was the best we’ve had.

The service and staff were unbelievably accommodating and made the experience exceptional – if you’re ever in seattle near this restaurant, do yourself a favor and please order something from them and give them your time - It is so amazing here!!!

10/5 stars- we will absolutely be coming back again and again

On Friday 3/14, they were only open 10:00-2:00. I arrived at 1:30.Only cooking chicken and fries. No other items available. I had wings and fries. They were very average in quality. Won't do that again. Will try again for the other menu items.

Food is great and the hospitality that Chelle gave made us feel so welcome. Enjoyed listening to some old school R&B while savoring the scrumptious bowl of grits and plate of chicken and Waffles. I've also tried their Philly cheese steak sandwich and will go back to try their Mac n cheese. Chelle was very sweet and gave us some sweet potato pie to try which was very delicious! I hope she decides to sell it regularly!

They were super busy and it was the bet end of the day but the food came out delicious! Great little no-frills spot for tasty food. The chef, Michelle, came out to greet us and check on the food too!

Fantastic! My family and I came in here and we basically played musical plates, passing each other's dishes around cause everything was delicious! Extremely sweet hostess, and just an overall good experience.

Couple things to note:
1. Parking in the area sucks. Not the restaurants fault but trying to find a spot took several U-turns.
2. The inside of the restaurant is tiny. There's only 5 tables; 4 on one single long booth, and then a single table for 6. I'm only saying this so you're aware if you happen to be coming in with a party of 4 or more.

Would highly recommend! Best breakfast/lunch we've had since coming to Seattle!
