Drake's Evansville,

"Excellent place to eat at anytime. Service was superb and the Fried Fish was on point! Will definitely be back! UPDATE: 2nd day in a row I have ate here... really ruined my expectations. The service at the bar is amazing. I ordered the fillet with crab Rangoon roll. The roll was excellent but the steak was horrible. It had a very weird taste, as if it had been sitting out too long, and was raw compared to the medium/rare I ordered. Dropped 3 stars with this, if it wasn't for the bartender it would be less than 1 star!! Get it together Drakes!!!"

"Very pleasant surprise. I’m a South Carolina native out in Indiana on a business trip and I was looking for a place to eat that’s not too expensive. I decided to search for a place to get a steak for an okay price like a Texas Roadhouse but also wanted to try something new and come across Drake’s who has a steak and sushi combo. I haven’t seen something like this on a menu so I’m intrigued and head over. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Got seated immediately and my server came along within about 2 minutes after I had been seated. Ordered the filet combo with a California roll and asked for a suggestion on which side to go with for the steak and he told me the tater tots were great so I went with his suggestion and was asked if I’d like my sushi before the steak and I said yes. Sushi came out about 10 minutes later and looked about as good as I’d want from a California roll and I added a dab of wasabi to each piece and it was very well made and had a great flavor and textural components. Very good California roll. The steak followed about 10 minutes after that with the tots. The tots were super crisp on the outside and well seasoned with a nice softer interior, great suggestion from the waiter. The steak was quite decent, not the best steak I’d ever eaten by any means but I am a bit high maintenance with my steaks which is why I cook them myself the majority of the time. I ordered it medium rare and for the most part that’s how it came out, maybe a bit on the rare side in some areas which I personally don’t mind. All in all it was a good meal and the price really wasn’t too bad either. Definitely would eat at a Drake’s again if I’m in the area of one."

"Exceptional food with Exceptiona. Hands down, the best fried pickles and fish I've ever had. The fish was tender and soft enough that it fell apart in my fingers with the slightest pull, but crisp enough to maintain its shape and provide a delicious crunch. I will definitely bring my Scottish friend here when he visits to see if our Fish/Chips are better than they are across the pond. And this is without mentioning the wide varieties of draft beers they have. Most places have a few drinks of tap, but Drake's had *dozens*. Good food, good drink, polite and friendly staff, all combined with a hearty portion for a great value."

"I was able to get in to eat almost as soon as I stepped in the doors. Was seated at the spot closest to the fireplace with very nice chairs. The waiter was very nice and gave us plenty of time to figure out my food. The food was very great, especially the sushi. I was genuinely surprised with the quality of the food since I didn't expect a place with sushi and burgers. 10/10 would recommend to family and friends."

"Service was great! Even during the dinner rush our server was attentive & friendly. Food was decent. The tea is definitely made in the same machine as the coffee. Prices were good for the entrees, but the appetizers were a little expensive. Why is the motto "Come Play?" Seems completely random for a place that doesn't have an arcade, pool, or darts."
