    All B It Burger
    Robyn P.

    7/18/2026 It was Burger Week and we wanted to get one more Hamburger at Drake's so we went over to the St Matthews Location. Luke B was going to be our server and he was so good! He explained both my Steakhouse Burger and my husband's All B It Burger. They were both very good and Luke checked on us more than 5 times at the least. He was really impressive. I have to say we ate at Drake's 3 times this week. The staff was great at all of the locations. Some of the sandwiches may stay for an extra month. It was very quiet at this time of night. We also got to see the Managing Partner, Britton Partain.

    Just a pic of the restaurant.

    The Customer Service Is Always Right On The Point. The Cooks Were exquisite with their cooking method for the food that we ate tonight. The ambiance was kind of loud and not too disturbing.

    So firstly, I want to say I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 3 because the food was super good. We got amazing fried pickles. My MIL got sushi and so did my husband. And me and my SIL got fish sliders. The service is what was lacking at one point we had to go ask where my drink was because it took that long. Then our check took forever to come also even though she had brought us boxes 15-20 minutes before so we were obviously done. Just twirling our thumbs. And then it wasn't even a printed check it was toast on a tablet so I don't get what the wait was for to be honest. They have a huge dedicated parking lot in the back. And they have the front room that they open the walls up in the warmer months. Overall it's hard to not like drakes but quite a bit of our time was wasted. I'm also putting some other photos of when we have been.

    Queso Burger
    Laura R.

    You can never go wrong with Drakes! They have great food and good drinks. What more could you ask for?

    BLT Salad
    Carrie J.

    Our server was friendly and efficient . Bar type atmosphere with lots of tvs. The garage type doors were open and the outdoor air added to the experience . BLT salad is a favorite and never fails to disappoint . Wanted to try something different so I ordered the Cuban. FYI- It was way too salty for my taste .

    Cheryl B.

    The service was great. We split a cheeseburger and bacon salad. I was stuffed. The food was delicious. They have plenty of parking.

    Chicken quesadilla
    Paula B.

    Drake's buffalo chicken quesadilla is spot on. Perfect amount of buffalo sauce, great flavor, and just the right heat--spicy enough to know it's there, but not "I need milk and life choices" spicy. The only thing hotter than the quesadilla? The volume of the Christmas music. I love a good holiday jam, but it was so loud you couldn't have a normal conversation unless you were willing to yell lyrics to Jingle Bell Rock across the table. Turn the music down just a notch and this place would be a 5-star experience--my ears would appreciate it as much as my taste buds did.

    Fried Fish
    Pam O.

    Mia was great! The fried fish was hot and crispy, and the beer is cold! I appreciated being able to sample the beer of the month. The bathroom was clean and well-taken care of.

    Ketchup & Honey Mustard // Tip: sub Drake's special sauce with Parmesan-garlic mayo
    MaryCarol K.

    Best sweet potatoe fries from a chain restaurant in Louisville! I fully believe it! Loud & Proud! Loved - ALL AMERICAN MINI BURGERS two minis, each w/ double patties, American cheese, pickles & Drake's special sauce $15.49 ((PRO TIP: sub Drake's special sauce with Parmesan-garlic mayo)) & get the sweet potatoes fries! Vegan Option: their black bean burger is worth taking up space on the menu. Flavorful. Never dry. Honestly a great meat free option! Drakes consistently has fast + kind staff & the ambiance is exactly what you'd expect (bar vibes)

    Baked Lava Roll
    Summer S.

    We love drakes. Started with the pretzels which are a little different than normal. The mustard also really didn't pair well. I had the pork dumplings which were very tasty but I hated the sauce that came with them. I'd recommend soy sauce instead. I got the lava roll which was very yummy. My husband got the filet and California roll. Steak was great. Our server was nice and attentive. We love the chill atmosphere and all the TVs for a fun afternoon.

    Chicken breast with a side of steamed broccoli -- delicious and healthy!
    Lora C.

    Always reliable good food, service and surroundings. Had a nice dinner with friends. Enjoyed my favorite healthy meal there -- seared chicken breast with steamed broccoli. My friend's rainbow roll was also delicious with shrimp tempura in it. Will be back again soon.

    David S.

    The atmosphere, service, food quality and value are all top notch. I am retracting this post.

    Saints at St. Matthew's Pizza & Pub - Mixed experience, great patio but food was hit-or-miss…read more Stopped by with friends tonight for drinks and apps at the bar. The patio was open and it's honestly a solid spot for a relaxed evening outside. We started with apps and ordered a couple to share. I'd had the artichoke dip and smoked wings here before and enjoyed them, but the artichoke dip wasn't available today. The bartender recommended the buffalo chicken dip instead. The wings came out first and they were the highlight - super tender with a good sauce. The buffalo chicken dip, though, missed the mark for us. The chips tasted stale and the dip itself was overly salty with an off, old flavor. We ended up leaving most of it untouched. We also ordered a pizza later. It was average - tasted like a frozen crust and didn't have much flavor. Decent if you're hungry, but not something I'd order again. When we went to pay, I mentioned the issue with the dip to the bartender. I didn't get much of a response. The other bartender on shift just pointed out that half the plate was gone, which wasn't accurate since we barely touched the dip. The service felt dismissive, especially from the two bartenders working - one lady and one guy with long hair. The bottom line: I'd come back for drinks and to sit on the patio, but I wouldn't recommend the food based on tonight. Rating: 2/5 - great space, needs work on the food and service consistency.

Got chicken Caesar salad and the chicken tasted burnt, I ordered spinach artichoke dip, but for some reason it wasn't as good as it once was.
