Had dinner at Drake’s Place today. The Catfish dinner was a bit hard I was told, however, it was eaten all up? I had the shrimp pasta, it came with 4 nice size shrimps laid on a bed of garlic pasta noodles, it was good, I enjoyed the garlic cheese bread! Moreover, Bridget one of the owners, provides great service and good food. It was a good clean and fun restaurant, they try to make you feel very welcomed there. They have a nice size parking area. The water is not the best, so you may want tea, which I prefer if the water is bad.

What an unexpected great experience. We have frequently driven by this place. We decided we would give it a try today and are we glad we did. We had the Drake burger which was cooked to perfection. It is so hard to get a medium rare burger in this city! We also had a pasta dish that was also perfect. Service was super friendly and professional. We will be back soon.

What a great experience! From the minute we entered we were greeted with enthusiasm and warmth. The staff was attentive and very helpful! The experience became even better when we received our meal. We chose the salmon en route special for dinner and were blown away. I wish this item was on the menu! The homemade puff pastry was beautifully flakey and the fish was cooked to perfection! I would recommend to anyone!

My friend and I can’t rave enough about this place. The food is great and made fresh when you order it, the servers are delightful, and the atmosphere feels like coming home(and this was our first time to Ferguson)! On top of all of this, the owners are the loveliest, most hospitable people. We truly felt like family, and came back several times during our stay. We can’t recommend Drake’s Place enough.(Also, the dressing is INCREDIBLE!)

We went as a group. The service was great. The Carmel cake was over the tp. I had the chicken wings they were crispy and not overcooked to the point they were dry. With visions of Carmel cake in my head, I returned to get a piece, decided to get the grilled steak sandwitch to go along with it, and it was worth every bite. The steak was tender and was NOT drowned in cheese. Just enough to enhance the flavor, Will be going back to get another piece of cake

I stopped in to get my boyfriend a steak for his birthday. This place was local and had good reviews. The entire staff from the owner to the bus staff was incredibly friendly. We had the 10oz sirloin and the Texas burger and both were delicious. If you’re looking for great food and service come here. As a bonus you get to support a local Ferguson business.

We have eaten at Drakes twice and we have not been disappointed. The house salad is so delicious the steaks melt in your mouth. The owners are friendly and they also come by to make sure everything is good. The waitress’s are very attentive.

1st time visit. I ordered the catfish sandwich. Good flavor on the seasoning. I will say, I wish the size of the filet was larger/thicker. Overall ok.

Drake’s Place aka«The Home of the Clean Plate». Why? The food is so good most people completely ‘clean their plate.’ I was invited to Drake’s Place for a business meeting. I ordered the Spinach salad which was totally amazing! I was pleasantly surprised to find fresh olives included on the salad. A nice touch and sign this a place where food is taken seriously. One trip and now I’m hooked. In fact, whenever I go out — Drake’s Place is my first consideration. One important factor to note. Food at Drake’s Place is actually cooked. No microwaves and prepared fast food stuff. Take that into consideration when planning to eat there for lunch and dinner. Be prepared to wait as your food is patiently and lovingly prepared. When it arrives to your table, piping hot, you will not be disappointed. You’ll immediately notice the fresh taste from high quality food. At the end of your meal, you won’t feel bloated and stuffed from a barrage of salt and sugar. Drake’s uses lots of herbs and seasonings to flavor their food. You’ll be full, but not swollen from an overdose of salt. My favorite dishes to try are the Bacon Wrapped Yukon Potatoes, Spinach salad, Caesar salad, and Brie Chicken. There is so much more on the menu so try them all! Now, for the desserts. There is a Lemon Crème cake with pieces of lemon in the whipped icing. Yum! The Carmel cake is served warm and is very good too. Get over to Drake’s Place and you’ll see why I call it the«Home of the Clean Plate»

Found this gem today on a lunch outing. It is a smaller space with a quaint chilled atmosphere. Everything that we ordered, right down to the kids mac and cheese was amazing! You can taste the skill, love, and freshness of ingredients in every dish. The portion sizes and service were on point too. However, they have taken a hit due to recent events in surrounding areas. That is very unfortunate because the location and people are great. PL support the independently owned businesses in Ferguson!!!

The chicken and rice soup was a little salty but the Bri Pasta was delicious. The children’s chicken fingers look and taste fresh as opposed to the previously frozen variety you usually get for children.

I’m «So St. Louis», but I’m even more«So Ferguson», so of course I will support restaurants in the area. I was feeling like eating some wings and so we stopped in because we didn’t want to travel far in the midst of the protesters. We have been looking at Drake’s for some time and we stopped in and was immediately seated. The place is small, but it is clean and nice. Not too much of an extended bar selection, but I did have a glass of wine. I ordered the wings and fries and it was good. However, the BF ordered a steak and salad and was not too pleased that the steak was small and thin for the price. But the food tasted good. Of course I will be back because like I said previously, I do support businesses in Ferguson; I just won’t let the BF order steak, LOL.

Came in at 11:30 on a Saturday morning. Ordered a steak sandwich and fries. Sandwich was appropriately sized, although a little smaller than Americans are probably used to these days. Sautéed onions and peppers on the sandwich were great, as was the steak of course, and the bun which was soft but still had awesome crunchy edges. Came with a nice portion of fries that tasted awesome. Service was great too. Shay was our server. I will definitely return next time I’m in the area. UPDATE5 minutes after writing the review: Owner came over to say hi and see how everything was. Mentioned that she hadn’t seen us here before and thanked us for coming. Turns out she runs the front and her husband is the great chef in back. Very kind lady.

It’s great to have a restaurant of this caliber within walking distance of my home. The menu has a delightful variety of entrees, sandwiches, sides, appetizers and desserts. The ambiance is relaxing and inviting. The service is exceptionally friendly and prompt. The quality of the food is absolutely top-notch. The sauces and dressings are all made from scratch by the chef, and compliment the foods very well without overpowering them. My favorites are the salmon(with a side of asparagus), chicken ceasar wrap and the Drake’s burger — and there are others I like very much also. Drake’s Place is definately a destination for anyone looking for a quality restaurant.

Extremely impressed with the food as well as the service. Met some friends here for dinner one night after work and I was blown away. We were greeted right away by their friendly staff. I ordered the grilled salmon and it was awesome. Not too much flavor from the sauce to take away from the taste of the fish. My friends got the Bri chicken(SOOOO good) as well as the Tilipia. All three were so tasty and reasonably priced. The dinners came with a side and a house salad. The chef Sonny makes some of the dressings from scratch and you can tell. They are delicious. As I mentioned before the service was outstanding as well. When we walked outside to leave my car didn’t start. The owner and his wife noticed and came out to help. Not only did he help, he called triple A for me. Can’t thank Sonny and the staff enough for a great evening with great friends. I will be returning!

Stopped at Drake’s Place today, and was glad I did! They have improved this restaurant a great deal, the service was friendly, and the food was unbelievably good. I would suggest this place for a couple, a business lunch, or for anyone looking for a well cooked meal in the Ferguson area. Worth the trip. We had Drakes Chicken and I had the chicken Parmesan… no knife needed and the homemade dressings and sauces were delicate and favorable.

This looks like a winner for Ferguson. Menu of steak, chicken, seafood/fish, and pasta. Appetizers, burgers, sandwiches and kids menu available. The house salads were fresh, house dressing creamy and well seasoned. I overheard another patron compliment the burger. Chicken wings received an «A» from my boys. The broccoli chicken pasta was prepared well in a rich but not overwhelming cream sauce. Would definitely pick this up again for a comfort food after a long day. Staff is friendly, chef prepared orders with care. I liked the relaxed atmosphere: quiet, clean and simple. Can’t wait to try more from this menu.
