I've been coming here with my family since I was a baby and since the new owners took over the food is not good to mediocre, the service has also gone downhill as almost everyone has left. It used to be packed everyday and now it's empty. After the change our favorite waitress personally asked us how we felt about it as she was making a list of regulars who weren't happy! The interior also changed for the worse and looks like a funeral home. This was a regular spot for my family friends and partners and none of us even consider it anymore. It's really sad. This used to be my favorite spot. All of us say we miss drakes and it hasn't even closed read more

Great place for breakfast! Super friendly staff and great portions. So tasty too. We were in the area and liked other reviews. Understated from the outside but don't let that deter you! We had the corned beef hash and eggs, Drakes Special breakfast, and Drakes Special omelette. We all had full bellies and take away for later. The hash was cooked to perfection, hash browns crispy on the outside and hot and tender inside. My omelette had just the right amount of filling. Clean and tidy restrooms too. If we're in the area we'll be back! read more

Been going to Drake's for a while. It's a smaller diner that really fits that description. Breakfast and lunch only, they only stay open till 2pm. They switched owners in the last year or so and not much has changed, which is a great thing. A no frills but tasty breakfast or burgers or a patty melt, they do it well. There's specials only on a board at the entrance. read more

Great little Cafe with home feel! Stopped in with my GF for breakfast since we were in the area and wanted to try something different. The cafe is small with maybe 9/10 booths max and everyone was very friendly even the cook. The restaurant was clean bathrooms and dinning area. I got the country omelette with hash browns and toast and we split a side of pancakes my GF got eggs Benedict. The omelette was good stuffed and the hash browns were simple. The pancakes were good very simple but a ton of blueberries inside. The eggs Benedict were the star very delicious and cooked good. Big chunk of ham and the sauce was delicious. When leaving the waitress and the cook said bye, I love the home town feel! We will be back read more

It's a cute hole in the wall in Shelby township. Usually have just one server on so service is slow but it's a small place with only 10 booths so it's not hard to flag her down or get her attention if you need something. Food is really good here. Cheap prices also. Amazing biscuits and gravy, they cook the bacon crispy and it was delicious and every piece was cooked evenly and same. If you're in the area and want to try some good breakfast but aren't in a hurry come give drakes a try. read more

Drake's Cafe - Cinnamon French Toast - Greek Near Me - Shelby Township, Michigan

I'm always a little weary when I eat at a spot that's located in a strip mall, even a little more weary when sitting across from is someone who wants to stab you in the face with a butter knife. I guess maybe I would write that off as someone being passionate right? No... you're right, probably not. It probably has to do more with me being a jerk face. Anyway, in high stress high adrenaline situations like these, what's better than some comfort breakfast food? This place serves some of the best. Believe me when I say, there is nothing fancy of this place. What little effort they put into decor and aesthetics they put 55.7x more effort into the quality of the grub they serve. Ms. Murder Eyes ordered a veggie omelette and I had the 2 eggs any style (trying to be extra healthy). Since my meal was pretty simple, I will be reviewing the few bites of the omelette that she had. The best ones I've ever had were the ones that were light, extra fluff and loaded with whatever bits and pieces you want in there. They met every criteria. The eggs sliced easily with a fork, loaded to the brim with veggies. The one thing I have never understood about diner breakfasts is the redundant carbs. Why toast and potatoes? I mean I get both being included but starches? COME ON!!! Throw in a fruit, a veggie, anything. But yet again, I digress. I am very rarely impressed with hashbrowns. Usually they are soggy and undercooked. Drake's did a great job. Crunchy, firm and perfectly cooked. Very tasty. I would have had a few more bites but Ms Murder Eyes was gripping that butter knife pretty tight, her fingers were turning blue. Will definitely be having breakfast here again when I'm in the neighborhood. Hopefully I will be in less physical danger next time around. Post Script - I survived. read more

It is a quiet breakfast spot with friendly people. They have old western playing on the tv which is great ambiance for early morning. The coffee is absolutely fantastic. I ordered eggs Benedict and the sauce was a bit thick, but the ham slice and eggs were cooked to perfection. It was all reasonably priced and I will be back read more

One of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time! Definitely a hole in the wall you'd have to try! read more

Drake's cafe rules! This gem is nestled away in a strip mall and is worth the trip every time. The food is delicious, there's an awesome variety, the prices cannot be beat, and it is run by the nicest family. Drake's cafe beats all the Coney Islands, Honey Trees, Dennys and IHOPs combined because of the people behind the counter. They are literally the definition of a mom and pop shop. The married couple behind the business work day in and day out 7 days per week, they know their customers names, have been in business for decades, and consistently offer up service with a smile and tasty food made with love by them. Wholesome food that is made by outstanding people translates into a great experience. One of my absolute favorite spots to eat at, time and again. So happy Drake's is in my community! read more

Best small diner around! Has a small menu but the food is always amazing and the cooks and owners are always friendly!

The BEST HASBROWNS on the planet! Perfect every time Crispy moist and square shaped .

Best breakfast place!!! All the servers are amazing and the cornbeef hash is the best. Definitely should try this place out!!

Great values for breakfast before 11:30. Expertly and consistently prepared by Danny, the owner. He's been here for twenty some years. He's got quite a local following. At lunch, I highly recommend a side of slaw. I love the chicken salad on toasted wheat bread. Some weeks I eat seven meals there despite lots of competition within two miles. Try it. read more

Had a great experience here today! The waitress went above and beyond with her service. She was extremely friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was delicious, hit the spot for lunch as well as pricing was good too. We are from out of town and we don't ever get that type of amazing service where we live. Very refreshing to have such fantastic service! read more
