I was meeting a colleague on a bitter cold day in January. Drake's was his pick, and I'm so glad it was! We were greeted by one of the team members and told to sit wherever we wanted. Grechaii came to grab our drink orders and let us know Shelia would be there in a few minutes to take our food order. As we started chatting and checking out the menu, Shelia came to greet us and answered a few questions. She took our order and promised to be back soon. A few minutes later, fresh food arrived, and it was delicious! Our conversation quieted as we both became busy eating and enjoying our meal. As we ate, the Drake's team would stop by to remove unused plates. Our drinks were never too low, and the service was attentive but never intrusive. Jamal, on his first day, was there removing trash and used plates from the table. Amanda stopped by with drink refills, and I quickly realized the team at Drake's was operating like a well-oiled machine. Everyone was pitching in, smiling, sharing friendly conversation, and answering questions as they came up. At the end of the meal, we paid and tipped. On the way out, I spoke to the manager, Anyea, and shared my appreciation for the food, service, and positive energy her team had brought to our experience. I asked her what the team at Drake's wanted their community to know about their business. She responded that they specialize in beers, burgers, sushi, and fun. They want their customers to feel welcomed and have a great time. Kids are welcome at Drake's, and they take food preparation and food allergies very seriously. They have gluten-free options that are clearly marked, and their team is always ready to answer questions and create a great dining experience. We had a delicious meal, and we will be back soon! If you're in the Keystone area, give Drake's a try. You'll be happy you did. read more

After several visits here I have finally decided that the best thing to order is sushi. This is the favorite restaurant of one of my friends, and I know that when I go out to eat with her this is probably where we will be dining. Over my various visits I have tried a burger, a quesadilla, some appetizers, and finally sushi. Definitely the sushi was the best meal I've had here. I ordered a crab Rangoon roll and California roll. While I thought the California roll was just average, the crab Rangoon roll was excellent! I would definitely order it again. From our booth near the bar we could see water dripping down from the ceiling onto the floor and a couple of other nearby booths. A few employees were cleaning up the water but I wondered what the source of the water was since it had not been raining. Service has always been good enough here. Not excellent, not poor, but good enough. I'll definitely stick with the sushi on my next visit. read more

We have always looked at the Drake's menu with cautious curiosity: sushi AND bar food? Is that really a concept that works? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. We ordered a specialty sushi roll to start and we were impressed with the quality. Our only complaint was the table's soy sauce tasted a little weak. I decided to try their All American Mini Burgers and they did not disappoint. The burger meat was tasty and well seasoned and each small double burger was perfectly assembled with their special sauce and pickles. I especially liked that since they were slider style, they were easy to eat and had a nice ratio of meat, toppings, and soft bread. My husband ordered the wings and said they were on par with other bar style wings in the area. No disappointments there! The tap and cocktail menu was extensive and I appreciated their mocktail menu as well, which offered several options for anyone avoiding alcohol. The restaurant has a great covered patio area open to the outside and another room with the main bar and plenty of tables and booths if you prefer AC. Our service was crazy fast and we had multiple servers check in with us at the right times to make sure we didn't need anything. Drink refills arrived at the table without us even asking and we really appreciated how efficient and friendly the service was, it really stood out! read more

Great spot for rolls, drinks, and apps! Whenever we go there are drink specials for under $10! They have a variety of rolls and sushi bowls. I like to get the calamari roll and the crab Rangoon rolls. For appetizers I go with the fried pickles. They are huge disc with the perfect amount of fried coating. read more

My first time at Drakes. Just happened to be in the area decided to stop in for a late lunch. I've heard great things about it and the food didn't disappoint. I got the chicken chopped salad with honey mustard dressing. It was delicious and the portion was large. Our server was sweet and attentive. You can tell they are short staffed because it took some time for someone to get to our table. The restaurant is smaller than expected but plenty of parking and it's wheelchair accessible. I will definitely try it out again. read more

Drake's Keystone - Chicken chopped salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Drakes is a cornucopia of flavors. Upon first view, the menu at Drake's is a bit confusing. I don't know of too many places where you can get fried bologna, seared salmon, and a sushi roll all at once. Somehow, it all works. I love the casual bar feel and the ample space available at Drake's. I can't imagine an outfit that would be out of place, and the menu is broad enough to match almost anyone's taste. This is definitely a place for friends. If you haven't popped in yet, it's worth a visit. read more

I'm not sure if it was the cold weather or what but everything was "off" here today starting with our server to the quality of the food. When a member of our part enquired how a particular menu item was prepared, our server was either uninformed or unwilling to provide any information. After we ordered there was a request to make a change but our server quickly stated the order had already been turned in. They weren't very busy so it couldn't have been due to a lunch rush. I ordered the fish tacos which were breaded and had no seasoning at all. The coleslaw was the only bright spot today. Our other party shared the same dismay about the quality of the food. I'll chalk it up to just an off day..... read more

Why did I dream about a Juicy Lucy! I was determined to get 1... Since we had other plans we decided to just share the burgers and fries. Our server Zuri was great! Placed the order Juicy Lucy add onion straws and a side of the Parmesan garlic mayo! (Oh with a side of extra ice) Everything was wonderful.... read more

Great place to grab a drink and some food. The drinks were good and the wings were very tasty. There aren't a lot of places like this in that area so it's a welcome oasis. read more

i've heard alot about Drake's so i thought i'd try it out, but i wasn't too impressed. the service was not the best and the food was just okay overall. i did like the seating and atmosphere though. we got the pretzel and cheese sauce and southern fried chicken minis which were both good. we also got the Drakes quesadilla and that was decent. read more

I've eaten at Drakes a few times and never had issues, but today was different. We recommended Drakes to some friends who had never been before, needless to say, they were not impressed and I was disappointed because I've experienced better. I ordered the sushi, which was ok, and the other guests in our party had fried fish tacos which were not very tasty. Another ordered the shrimp grilled cheese that was really lacking. The only dish that turned out decent was the salad. Unfortunately, the service was not any better. Our server was not friendly at all! Might be a while before I eat or recommend Drakes again. read more

My husband and I came to Drake's for a late lunch while we were in the area. The place we originally wanted was closed, and because we were planning on having poke bowls, he thought Drake's sounded good. We'd never been, and I'll admit, I was a little leery of getting sushi at a burger bar, but I stuck with my craving and ordered a tuna stack and shrimp spring roll. My husband got a poke bowl and a tuna spring roll too. We also ordered the soft pretzels as an app--yes, an odd combination! The pretzels were really good and the rest of our food was solid too. I didn't love the ponzu sauce that came with my tuna stack--it tasted more like regular soy sauce-- and my husband didn't really like the wasabi mayo that came on his bowl either. Those weren't a big deal, but something we'd order differently if we returned. The menu had a lot of options that sounded tasty. Our server was sweet and helpful, but at the end of our meal we did kind of feel like they were pushing us out by clearing our table. Clearing off plates is totally normal, but they came back and took our glasses too while we were still chatting, which felt a little awkward. We were planning to order one of the cookies, but ended up going somewhere else for dessert instead. Overall a decent choice--there was lots of seating and a menu that has something for everyone. With so many other restaraunts nearby, I'm not sure I'd come again with just the two of us, but it'd be a good option for a group. read more

Visited Drake's for dinner with coworkers recently. We must have had around 20 people and somehow, we were seated at adacent tables, which was nice. Our servers were excellent. For dinner, I requested a mushroom and swiss burger with a side of sweet potato fries. My corworker requested sushi, a burger, and some tater tots. We were chit chatting quite a bit and the food came out pretty quick. My burger was large and delicious. The patty was well seasoned and extended well beyond the bun. My sweet potato fries were delicious. I tasted some of the sushi and it was good. My coworker ordered so much food that he couldn't finish it all. We had good times, great food, and great service. read more

Every time I've came in it's always a coincidence that Mitiz is my server but she's AMAZING! Lol. I always get the chicken buffalo quesadilla but today I tried the Crab Rangoon Roll and I definitely will be getting it again.

We tried this place for lunch on a very, very cold MLK day. There were plenty of open tables, and our server was kind and attentive and told us what her favorites were. Both my boyfriend and I ordered burgers - if you're seriously hungry, these are great. The burger was huge, the flavor was great and we'd absolutely order them again. Even the fries were the perfect amount of crispy. Their ranch tastes homemade too. We also split a pretzel appetizer - not as delicious as the burger, but still good. We decided next time, if we weren't quite so hungry, we'd split an app and a burger. We were treated to a lovely warm cookie and ice cream - YUM. It hit the spot for a sweet treat. We will definitely be back! read more

Backstory: this review is based on my latest two visits. My first visit was 3 stars, but today's visit was nothing short of 5 !!! The service was much better!!!! My first visit was on a weeknight; after 9 PM, after work. The service was subpar. So much that I didn't, nor planned, coming back that late again. It wasn't very busy and the one employee that was in the bar area (dining area) was there and wasn't very attentive. I believe she brought over utensils and water and that was it. She never checked back in or anything. Then someone else came to take our order. I promise, the food is what saved the night! The absolute best fried chicken sandwich I've had to date!!!!! The salad was fresh and cold. It was a little too cold for me personally, but aside from the temperature, it was very tasty. The sriracha wings we tried as an appetizer. I'll just say that we had to do some dusting because the flavor was a bit overpowering. Also, get the housemade ranch!!! Thank me later! Second visit: zero complaints!!! Alana was great! The fried fish was hot, battered just right & fried just right! I now have another favorite here at Drake's. This evening, I felt seen and valued as a customer. That in itself, paired with great food makes for a very happy, full and satisfied repeat customer!!!! read more

Friday night at Drakes I expected it to be busy but I was also expecting the staff to be able to handle it. I will say that our Bartender seemed like she was fairly new so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. We did not wait to be seated because we sit at the bar, so that was good. But Waited on food, waited on drinks and waited on Check, I like Drake so I'll be back, but hopefully I'll have a better experience. read more

Drakes was just okay! We went there recently for a birthday and two of us were there early, and the waitress never waited on us until our full party sat down. We were wanting to order drinks or appetizers, and waited about 20 mins to get served. Overall the service was very average. The food, however, was really good! We got the pretzels, tots, and pickles as appetizers and they were all delicious. I ordered the sushi special bowl and loved it. My boyfriend got fried fish and said it was way better than he expected. Another person in our party said the smash burgers were well-made. Overall it was decent, would've been much better if our server was more attentive and friendly! read more

Drake's was absolutely phenomenal! The service was super quick and there SO many options to choose from! I've never known of a place where you can find sushi, burgers, and pasta all on one menu! If you're a sushi fan, you can't go wrong with the Crab Rangoon and the Crunchy Texas Roll. I sat next to the bar and was able to keep some clips of the football game while I enjoyed my meal. I can't wait to go back and get my hands on some more of their special rolls! read more

It was a blessing and a curse trying the sushi from Drake's! My husband and I are frequent Doordashers (yes, we know prices are ridiculous) and have ordered from Drake's several times...one may even say too many times... But the sushi is delicious! It's fresh and flavorful and has been some of my favorite in the city. Sushi is typically pretty pricey so adding the delivery to that, well, that part is the curse lol We've also had several of their other food items, their burgers are delicious and their teriyaki bowl is tasty too. I've had a salad as well and it was fresh and flavorful. I'd recommend Drake's for any item you're craving! read more

First time being in and loved the indoor/outdoor seating in the bar area. The service was decent. Got the southern comfort burger which had creamy pimento cheese, a sweet and tangy ketchup, Mayo and potato chips. Burger was perfectly cooked and loved the seasoning with it being served on a brioche bun. This burger was tasty y'all. I will be back to try more things. read more

I'm always a little circumspect when it comes to restaurants that feature multiple cuisines on one menu. When a restaurant spreads itself too thin trying to appeal to too many people, it doesn't usually end well. Drake's offers burgers and sushi, and at first I was like, "What?" But then, after visiting, I was like, "What!" I figured I'd go all in and just go ahead and order the sushi. I got their special-of-the-month sushi roll, which is the crispy crab & avocado roll. It was really good! The sushi roll was freshly made -- apparently, they have their own sushi house inside the restaurant with a guy making rolls. My youngest child likes sushi too (or what he thinks is sushi), so I ordered him a California Roll and he was mighty pleased to see that it came with crab in it. He loves crab. I would not hesitate to order the sushi here again. The rest of my family ordered burgers, and they really enjoyed them. The fries that come with the burgers are the zig-zaggy kind that are crispy and yet mealy inside. They are slightly seasoned, too. My other child ordered off the kids menu, and he got the cheeseburger sliders, which comes with two mini cheeseburgers. Kids can get their choice of beverage, and yes, Drake's offers milk. One of the fun aspects of the restaurant is that they had trivia questions on one of the TVs over by the bar. My kids had a good time trying to guess the answers to questions like, "What does the word 'maki' mean in Japanese cuisine?" (FYI: It means "roll.") I like when restaurants have little things like that to entertain their guests. read more

Drakes is a great place! I love the atmosphere, I haven't been in for awhile, trying to be mindful of the surge. I ordered in some take out, since drakes is so close the food always arrives hot. I like to order two things from drakes, something for now and save something for later. I enjoyed a chicken quesadilla, it was awesome, flavorful, and comes with sour cream, salsa, and lettuce. I loved it! The second food item I ordered was the three mini cheeseburgers and fries, they were delicious and come with the toppings on the side so you don't have soggy burgers, I also enjoy the fries since they are crisp and flavorful. Always have good food from Drake's! Can't wait to get back to the physical location! read more

Horrible service. I do not recommend. Arrived at 4:00, no food until 7:00. I've waited for service before but this was ridiculous. By the time we got our food the rest of our party left. Perhaps they were under staffed. The wait staff was nice and professional but that was it. They read more

2 trips in one...first and last. Restaurant seemed dirty. Staff wasn't very interested in getting things moving. Worst sushi roll we've ever had...Marti Party Roll. Sounded good but taste was poor, texture too chewy, flavor lacking, and didn't even come with chopsticks. Chili had lots of sugar plus huge sections of canned tomatoes. Grilled cheese sandwich was blah except for the taste of whatever else was on the grill with it (old oil/margarine?). $40 for disappointment. Carry-out order 1/2 hour longer than estimated. Next time we're going next door to District Tap read more

I ordered a black bean burger and veggie sushi roll. (Forgot to take pictures) but they were both good. I ate the entire roll and packed the rest of my burger to go. We sat close to the patio.

Really pleasantly surprised at this restaurant. I have seen it many times but never able to visit. The wait was long over due. I ordered the Atlantic Salmon and Mac n Cheese and really enjoyed it.

Will make it a point to stop by again. Thanks for a great evening! read more

Quick visit to meet a friend from Florida. I chose Drakes due to her having her 17 year old granddaughter with her and being unsure on the type of food she liked. Drakes has a variety of food options to chose from. We had Chicken Tenders/Tater Tots, Shrimp Grilled Cheese/Tomato Bisque, and Avocado Bean Burger/Sweet Potato Fries. Everything tasted good and came out shortly after we ordered. The ambience was okay. A sign at entrance said seat yourself so we sat in the front area, close to the bar. Service was good, a sign said help wanted so we anticipated delays, however they were prompt. Our waitress was knowledgeable and gave recommendations on food selections. read more

While the fish slider was tender and flavorful and the chicken teriyaki bowl was very delightful, the $5 Mimosa seemed to be made by an overly worked bartender. It was stated that she was the only bartender for the entire place for the first day of the year. Now granted some people spent the night partying and celebrating but that should not diminish the quality of service the next day. We even watched as drinks that should be shaken were poured and topped with ice, then place to serve. It was a pretty chill and laid back atmosphere but it's always the small things that are remembered. read more

I have been here before, but it must have been in the winter. I remember it being very dark and claustrophobic. This time, when I walked in, it was like hitting a bar in Florida. All the garage doors were open and it was bright and airy inside. The bartender was cheery and helpful (offering samples of any of the beers on tap). When I ordered the grilled ham & cheese, she suggested getting the BBQ sauce on the side. This turned out to be a brilliant idea as the sandwich was just fine without being slathered in sauce (I dipped it a few times and it was also good). read more

I visited Drake's off a recommendation from a friend and I was pleasantly surprised. I always assumed this place was a sports bar type and I wasn't completely wrong. However, they have sushi! I'm fairly new to eating sushi but they had all of my faves and they tasted pretty good. After adding some eel sauce to my rolls, I almost couldn't finish my email. My partner in dining got sushi and a burger - "just the right amount of food". No complaints here, will most likely be back! read more
