I've always enjoyed Drake's, especially their club sandwiches, so this review is disappointing to…read morewrite. This time I decided to keep things a little more Atkins/keto friendly and ordered a grilled chicken salad and a cup of chili. The total came to just over $26, with the salad alone costing almost $17. I understand prices have gone up everywhere. I can accept that. What I can't accept is paying premium prices while the overall experience falls short. The first issue started before I even got inside. The restaurant was packed, and customers were parked all along the curb directly in front of the designated to go pickup area. That completely blocked access. It took me nearly ten minutes of circling the parking lot, backing up near the dumpster, moving again, and eventually squeezing my truck into a parking space (in the "to-go" pick up area where I'm supposed to be anyway) just to pick up my order. When you're that busy, parking becomes part of the customer experience. At some point management needs to step in and help keep traffic moving instead of allowing the pickup area to become unusable (don't tell me I'm wrong because I'll tell you what not only did. I have to navigate that situation due to cars being along the curb in front of the to go area, but two other vehicles that were parked in the to go spaces had nobody in them and I was there for 10 minutes waiting for my food so those people were inside eating in the restaurant I presume-given that I observed their empty vehicles for a total of 20 minutes). To be fair, the employee who brought my order out was excellent. She greeted me with a smile, was friendly, professional, and was easily the brightest part of the entire experience. Then I got home and opened the salad. For $17, this was honestly disappointing. The chicken, bacon, and toppings had simply been simply tossed in there, while the rest was mostly plain, sad looking lettuce. It looked rushed and careless, especially considering the price. The first of several photos are exactly how the salad looked the moment I opened the container on my kitchen counter. I hadn't touched it or moved anything around. The last photo, however, my awesome lady was able to turn that same salad into something amazing in just a couple of minutes. SHE chopped up some pepperoni that we already had in the refrigerator, diced a little Colby Jack cheese, added tomatoes, mixed everything together, and finished it with ranch dressing and a level 10 appearance on the plate. She didn't have to cook anything. She simply took the time to prepare it the way a $17 salad probably should have looked when it left the restaurant. The chili was good, and I'll absolutely give credit where it's due. Drake's still has menu items I enjoy, and I've had plenty of good meals there over the years. But when you're charging premium prices, customers deserve the same level of quality whether the restaurant is half full or packed to the walls. Being busy explains delays. It doesn't excuse lowering the standard. I genuinely hope Drake's takes this as constructive feedback because I know they can do better. I've seen them do better!

We decided not to order the tacos as they were $14.99 for 3. Instead we ordered the Vegetarian Machete ($12.99) to share. A Machete is a rather large corn quesadilla that is folded in half and roughly looks like a blade, and can be filled with a variety of items. The Vegetarian Machete here is filled with cheese, pickled onions, peppers, cilantro, spring onions, and then topped with pico de gallo, more onion, and both a red and a green sauce, there was even a few pieces of grilled zucchini. Also on this plate was a grilled jalapeño, rice (with corn, peas, etc), black beans, wedges of lime, and some sliced radishes. This is a dish I'd never had before, but I will certainly have it again if the opportunity presents itself. The dish was not just full of flavor there was plenty of food, and sharing was about right.

We were greeted with a friendly smile by the bartender upon entering and handed a menu. They had specialty cocktails that all sounded delicious, but I opted for a classic dirty martini as it was Friday after a long day at work. It was a little dark when you first enter, but it adds to the atmosphere. They have plenty of seats at the bar and a variety of searing selections near the bar. The outside patio was super cute so we chose to sit outside. There is an upstairs loft type thing with seating also. Food is provided through a delivery option from an attached restaurant. It was a little challenging to understand the ordering process as my friend was told to order "for here" and type the word bar and I was told to choose delivery and type bar. I ended up having to pay a small delivery fee for them to walk it over, but we did notice the delivery menu is larger than the pickup menu. The Caesar salad was actually really good. The sweet potato tots were great with the honey butter. I did not care for the chili shrimp. My friend chose a chicken wrap and house chips and she enjoyed it. We stayed for a few drinks and enjoyed talking to some regulars. It never really got crowded which is a good thing for us. The service was attentive and quick.

However, the dishes we ordered as entrees were lackluster. I got the steak and gnocchi dish. It was advertised as being served with steak sauce, but instead, the sauce was much more like a jammy barbecue -- very off-putting. The steak was served well done, and the gnocchi was doughy. I am a huge fan of both steak and gnocchi, and it doesn't take much to impress me with either, but this was pretty bad. A friend got the chicken cassoulet, which was fine, but a bit bland. Another member of our party got the pork belly and said it was delicious! The service was good, and we were very pleasantly surprised by the ambiance, especially as it got closer to time for the live music to start.
