A neighborhood Gem
Being a Boomer, I typically like to check out Diners just for the atmosphere expecting the typical but generally good diner food, but the Drake exceeded my expectations.
This gem of a Diner is nestled in a woodsy neighborhood not like on a busy highway downtown. This little gem is far from being unknown as the place was jumping with patrons on this one Saturday morning. The atmosphere was somewhere between a 20’s to a 50’s style diner with the lighting and fixtures, it was cozy albeit a little noisy in the main seating area, the service was superb, and the food was the best of any Diner I’ve eaten at – ever! No wonder it was busy as this appeared to also be a college student favorite as well. Next time we’ll sit in the so-called, “Inside/Outside” enclosed section of the diner as it may be a little quieter.
Dishes Tried:
"Vegetarian Bene" w/onions&cheese
I’m not a vegetarian but this dish was described so beautifully in the menu, I had to try it. What made this dish was the cheese and onion sauce was draped all over the wonderfully prepared hash browns and the two good-sized poached medium eggs over their own specially made thick English style muffins. Every bite was yum yum for me.
My wife thought the coffee was very weak (A Starbucks girl) and I asked the waiter if they had a bolder coffee. He said no but suggested a blend of their espresso and Americana coffees. She tried it and was very happy with the result.
