Drae's Lake Route

Small neighborhood restaurant. We were lucky to find some street parking. Excellent service. Amazing food! Eco-friendly take out containers. What's not to love? My husband got the fried fish sandwich-he said it was very tasty. I got the loaded grits with double bacon and no eggs. Sooooo delicious! Coma inducing comfort food. We split the mac & cheese which was over the moon good! We will definitely be back!

The food was pretty good. Prices are cheap. The portions are kind of small however. We had the chicken and waffle plate & the pork chop with Rice & Gravy during this visit. The restaurant interior is small with only a few tables and there is also no A/C in the building so the temperature can get a bit uncomfortable on warm days. They don't have to go cups for their coffee for some reason and only tell you this after you pay for the order.

I stumbled across this place when another brunch spot in the area had a long wait, and honestly I'm thrilled that I did! The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were generous. It's definitely off the beaten path but it is one that is worth the trip.

We drove over an hour to try this spot! Upon walking in you see a big menu on the chalkboard. They offer alcoholic drinks as well! I ordered the mango and tequila lemonade and my wife ordered strawberry rum lemonade. This mango tequila lemonade was delicious! Once you place your order at the counter you seat yourself. We came around 1230pm, right before the rush. For food I ordered the loaded grits bowl with shrimp, and Turkey sausage, and the bacon waffle.My wife ordered chicken & waffles and fish and grits. We drove over an hour so don't judge us lol The loaded grits bowl; one word...AMAZING.Filled with flavor, cheesed perfectly, everything including the shrimp is bursting with flavor. I 10/10 recommend.The bacon waffle ....They def don't skimp out on the bacon so if you like bacon this is the waffle for you! I enjoyed it. My wife's take on her chicken and waffles:Waffles are amazing. The chicken a little tough but seasoned well.My wife's take on her fish and grits: she said the fish is amazing. Perfectly fried and perfectly seasoned. The grits also really good!! Overall review : I highly recommend this establishment. It was well worth the drive and the customer service was great. It's not in the best neighborhood, but that's it. It's worth every cent and I will definitely come back.

Food was good service was great and the ambiance was nice and chill. Real family vibes. Kept it straight and simple but it definitely hit the spot. Can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu.

Today we had Drae's for a staff meeting. Because the restaurant is small, we took it back to our office to eat. So I can't speak to the ambiance of the place. Food wise, I got the Montana Potatoes with sausage, and grits. Jesse got the chicken waffle sliders and a side of Mac n Cheese and salt & pepper fries. My food was delicious. Not only was the portion very generous, but it came seasoned very well. I was pretty full, but I did taste the grits and they were so good.Hubby got the slider, which is he said was okay. It was good, but it would probably be better if we ate it fresh. The Mac n Cheese was bomb though! Cheesy, well seasoned, and burnt in all the right places. We will definitely be back, but we'll eat it in the restaurant. I'll update my review.FinalMe: Four stars Huz: Four stars

Why it's taken me so long to get here I do not know, but I'm glad I came and air up for lost time. I had a freshening for breakfast food and thought they could meet the need. A friend had suggested the Montana Potatoes, which I got and did not disappoint. It's basically like potatoes O'Brien with cheese and a meet of your choice. The price was $14.99 and the amount of food was well worth the price. The only downside is it was super greasy. It tasted good but I probably won't order this again to avoid the extra grease.

I can't lie, I was a bit turned off by this place at first because of the many "rules" posted. Lol HOWEVER...I decided to go forth anyway and give them a try. Food did not disappoint. The catfish was seasoned so wonderfully and the pineapple mango lemonade was beyond yummy. I would stop in again because there's other menu items I'd love to try. Service was nice and food was great.

BOMB MOTHAFUCKEN.COM!! I had the grits with hella hella cheese on top, sausage links, bell peppers, onions+ shrimp. My girl had chicken and waffles. Chicken was seasoned hella bomb. Wish the waffles were a little more crunchy but all good. Everything was seasoned hella well. If you're looking for that white people salt/pepper only seasoning then this ain't your spot. Your taste buds will be mind blown here. BUSSIN! Must try!!

LOVE THE WINGS! Highly recommend getting them tossed in mango pineapple habanero sauce. Also very cheap for 1 pound of wings. It's sweet and savory, the best of both worlds. The mac & cheese is more like a pasta, so it is a heavier side. The chicken and waffle sandwich is okay, but not bad. The salad was really good. Definitely check this place out for some quick bites!
