This place is absolutely amazing!!!!! I am from the south and ordered chicken and waffles and they were definitely on point. This is our new go to spot !!!
It was really superb. We were the only ones there on a Monday night and I ordered a classic eggs Bennie. The cook doused them with hollandaise sauce and I didn’t even have to ask for extra. Our server was very attentive to our needs. Really outstanding experience all around. 5 stars would recommend.
I discovered this place when I first moved in on June 30th and loved the place. The food is great and the employees are so nice and friendly.

Great food .esp burgers n chili n onion rings ! Usually have a short wait but worth it. Frdly staff n good prices...always a treat to eat there. Mimoses are good too.. parking can get tricky but plenty of street parking available.
Always a great experience the Drake Diner...this time did not disappoint either. Huge crowd, but service was fairly quick while the food was excellent!!!!
Best breakfast ever the chicken fried steak was perfect and hash browns with cheese and onions was over the top!
We stopped by for breakfast and it was delicious. We've never had a bad experience here. Sometimes service is a little slow, but that's to be expected when the place is packed. The servers are always friendly and make us feel welcome.
They seated us quickly and were very good about bringing us our food quickly as well. The wait staff was very friendly and engaged us in conversation. Our food was very good as well. I was glad we stumbled on it. So much more charm than a chain restaurant!
What a delicious, hearty breakfast at Drake Diner today! I had a perfect Denver omelet, whole wheat toast and a side of sausage. The winner was the hash browns with cheese -- the seasoning on the potatoes was so good! Loads of cheesy goodness and leftovers to take home!
My dinner was very good liver and onions...cranberry vodkas weak on the vodka waitress brought a jigger of vodka🤗
Good ol all American diner food and atmosphere! The service was good, the server was pleasant and courteous. While the diner was busy, we still got our food very quickly. The food tasted good and is the type of food you’d expect at a diner like this. We were very happy to eat here on our visit to Iowa. We had the Eggs Benedict, Cinnamon Swirl French Toast, Chicken and Waffles, Captain Crunch French Toast Sticks, Bacon and some Waffle Dogs. While the Captain Crunch French Toast Stick weren’t that impressive, the Waffle Dogs were interesting and the rest of the food was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend for an enjoyable experience. 👍🏼👍🏼
The service was amazing. Food was really bland and needed some spices along with salt. The burger did taste like it was frozen patty. The fries did not have salt but it did have a crunch. The chicken tenders were really dry.
This diner is a VIBE in all of the best ways. Sat down, ordered a coffee and BOOM it’s there immediately. I ordered #3, added onion and cheese to the hashbrowns and I can say with 100% confidence it’s the best decision I’ve made all year. Order toast and they’ll give you an entire loaf of bread. The toast was pre-buttered and moist. Delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. We will be back and I cannot wait.
Just had lunch with a friend here. She liked her chicken and waffles and I loved my Chinese chicken salad. Only negative is that it closes at 2pm... Very odd timing.. maybe due to pandemic? Anyway, it's a nice place to hang.
We’ve yet to have a bad experience :) Food is always great and the staff is always working hard while being very welcoming and friendly :). Would recommend. Pictured : strawberry banana smoothie and waffle dogs (which my fiancé HIGHLY recommends)
Came here with my hubby for a late dinner. Server was super nice and attentive. The burger was AWESOME!! We'll definitely be back when we're back in the area!!
Classic diner feel. Friendly staff.
For the win: they serve a sidecar of beer with the Bloody Mary. Well done Drake Diner, well done.
We sat with the kids at the counter. Food was good, service positive, good ambiance. We will definitely return.

UPDATED FOR 04/03/2022 SEE NEW REVIEW AT END OF THIS REVIEW. SEE BELOW.
I was here for the Eggs Benedict.
#1. They had a very good taste. Not overly seasoned. The Hollandaise was from scratch using egg Yolks. I ordered the poached eggs soft but they came medium.
#2. These come with hash browns with or without cheese and an option for sausage instead of Canadian bacon. .
#3. The price was $11.99 which that and the error of poaching of the egg should have brought it 4 stars. The English muffin was large, thick and soft. That kept it at 5 stars.
I have a "top ten" list for Benedicts. #1 being the best. After my visit I rated these "Bennys" as #4 in my " top ten list" .
They are worth trying and I will be going back again. The price is the drawback but it only carries 10% of my review .
My rating is based on 3 weights :
#1-70% = taste
#2-20% = presentation
#3-10% = price
I went back to have another "Benny". They were busy so I sat at the counter. I ordered the Benny with eggs poached soft. One egg was soft and one was medium. I let "Andrew" know about the medium egg. He said he would get me another one. By the time the replacement egg got to me the rest of my Benny was cold.
Don't get me wrong..... I will go back and get another Benny because they are very tasty. If they could only get them right. I recommend them just make sure they are right.
To top it off I will finish with my observation of Andrew, my waiter. He never smiled or showed any concerns to me. It was like I was a problem or a burden.
