Drake's - Leestown

Service was excellent and food was delicious! I usually never order a burger at a sit down restaurant, but I sampled both these and this is the first time I regret not getting a burger. I will get the juicy Lucy next time.The burgers were flavorful and seared perfectly.

When we arrived, we were told to seat ourselves via the sign. Clean and nice indoor area with a bar. Friendly staff. Food was delicious. We had the buffalo chicken quesadilla with ranch and sour cream (very thick) as well as chives, beautifully sprinkled on top for our "starter". It was rich and full of flavor. For our main course, we had the three buffalo chicken sliders. They had a bit more spice to them than the quesadilla did, but still delicious and well cooked, however could have been a bit more crisp. On the side was mac & cheese with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs on top. This was rich and creamy, but a bit of salt and pepper would've accentuated the flavor even more. Another side that we had french fries, these french fries were crinkle fries and well, seasoned with salt and pepper. They were well crispy. If I were to come again, I would just get the buffalo chicken quesadilla over the three buffalo chicken sliders. I enjoyed the fact that the toilet paper was set up in the bathroom. I can't really explain it but once he go go, you will see ha ha however, the tapwater pressure was substantially weak.

I think I've now hit all the Drakes In Lexington area, This location is closest & easiest to get to.Never been disappointed at any of there locations.Great choices & lots of Draft beer selections

Food was excellent. Recommend the chicken tenders and tater tots. Chicken pulls apart easily and lives up to the name of tender. Tots have a special seasoning for added flavor. Worth the venture! Service was friendly. Prices are wonderful. Worth the trip out!

Stopped in yesterday for lunch and met a friend. We sat at the main bar. I ordered the Sriracha wings which are one of my favorites. The wings came out hot and crispy. I had a side of celery, which was fresh and crisp and ranch for dipping. Everything was delicious. I had a Kona Big Wave beer which was ice cold. A good pairing with my wings. Our food came out quick and for the most part the service was good. We did have a little trouble getting our bartenders attention when we were ready to cash out. For those of you that have not been to Drake's, I tend to think of it as a slightly upscale sports bar, which is not a bad thing.

Went here as looked like a clean safe place to grab a late dinner. Turns out this is a very interesting hot spot with a huge local beer collection and some very interesting mocktails. To top this off, in addition to having fancy dressed burgers there was a selection of sushi. As a rule, I don't recommend raw fish at places that are not special: I will stick with that for this Kentucky-based chain restaraunt. That Saud, there is a huge selection of cooked fish rolls that are interesting. The surf and turf we tried was quite tasty and memorable, as was the shrimp tempura small plate. Be sure to verify your order with the wait staff (there was an error in ours, which was fixed). Overall, we were happy and would go back.

Today was the first time I have ever eaten at Drake's--it was a recommendation from my boyfriend (who loves it). Sam, the server, was kind, but the service was so terrible that it was quite honestly the worst experience I've had at a sit down restaurant. We were greeted by someone in training (after sitting there looking around for almost 20 minutes) who brought us waters, then Sam came to take our orders--another 15 minutes later, even though we were obviously not seated in his section (Thank you Sam). Our drinks from the bar took forever to get to us and only arrived about 10 minutes before our food, and when I unwrapped my silverware to eat said food, my silver was dirty. As I was eating, I overheard the bartender ask a server, "You're still here?" to which the server replied, "Everyone is."If none of your servers were cut for the night, why in the world was the service so terrible? For this to be a newer location, the management needs to do better. I am sorely disappointed in this location and I don't think I'll be returning, at least not to this specific location.

Many Drake's restaurants in Lexington but the service in this one is SPECIAL, I visit this restaurant twice a week when I finish my work and I recommend that you have the pleasure of being served by a young man named Cezanne, if all the people were as attentive as this young man the world would be better!!!!I took a photo with him so you can get to know him.

This location does not pair with Malones and Harry's , so the kitchen has solely Drake's items. The selection was still appealing and the service was good. My party was seated quickly and the food was delectable.

I had the club, it was fine. The cole slaw in the place needs to be changed, I never liked it from day 1. It is very roughly chopped, hard to eat and has hardly any dressing making it very dry, they also put too much vinegar in it.See pics below, one piece of cabbage in the slaw was as big as a potato chip. One of the waiters named Janillson had sooo much cologne on, every time he walked pass me I wanted to gag. Mgmt should talk to him about that.
