Fun place and seated fast! We checked in at 1st and the hostess said it would be a 35min wait (which isn't bad) but we took a quick walk around the HUGE BAR AREAS and seated ourselves in 2mins. The bartender was busy but very attentive. She started a nice conversation and kept checking on us. Now for the food! The sushi was outstanding and it not being an Asian establishment didn't give me high hopes but they definitely proved me wrong. The rolls were fresh & tasted authentic. I also ordered a 23oz IPA draft which came out cold, fresh, and no skunky taste. Then our main entree was the patty melt with tots. Soooooo good! Prices were super fair for the amount of food too. We'll definitely be back soon. Thanks for the great experience. read more

Large dining area, with both indoor and covered outdoor seating, and plenty of chairs at the bar too. Nice atmosphere overall and they don't have the tables to jammed together. The menu has a wide variety of items to choose from including sushi. The wait staff is very friendly and tentative to your needs. My experience has only been with their burgers which have been good each time I've been there. I'll certainly be back to try something besides a burger. read more

This location is fairly new to our area, and we were excited to have another restaurant close to our house. They always seem to be busy for dinner, so we decided to go in for an early dinner, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was great, and the service was fast and friendly. It's a fairly large open space, and the decor is typical of a sports bar. The menu is quite varied. I had the club sandwich, and it was delicious. I don't know if this is typical, but the night we were there, we weren't greeted at the door, and it felt like we were just supposed to seat ourselves, so that's what we did. I'm not sure if that's what we were supposed to do, but no one said anything one way or the other. After that though, everything was great. read more

Second time trying out this place and the food has never disappointed me. The service is exceptional and the ambiance is really nice. Went during winter and then again in summer when it was all opened up with nice weather outside. The menu is mixed, which I loved a lot. Totally recommend this gem! read more

Went here to try out a place we haven't been. We walked in around 3 to seat yourself. We sat in the bar area. Not one person acknowledged our being there. We waited for about 20 - 25 minute and not a single person came to our table. After not receiving any service we left. There wasnt but maybe 5 occupied tables. Won't be going back and would not recommend this place to anyone read more

Food is sooooooooooo good but 35-40 min wait whole bunch of ppl in line but I can not wait this long I have a very short temper of patience read more

I decided to go here last minute for my birthday celebration. They told me it would be a 20 to 25 minute wait and it was only about 15 minutes. One we were seated and had ordered the food did not take long to arrive. The waiter heard it was my birthday and offered me their birthday treat. The food was really good and a good size portion too. read more

We went there last night for dinner and had a GREAT experience. Awesome service (special shout out to our server Chelsea), super good food, great prices, and just a cool atmosphere. Even the other customers around us were friendly. Literally just a great experience all around! read more

First time here so we got a little bit of everything. Our family ordered the chicken tenders, grilled cheese, the mini juicy Lucy's, and I ordered a couple sushi rolls. The chicken tenders are hand breaded and delicious! The juicy Lucy's was one of the best burgers I've had in a while. The sushi was just meh. The rice was a gummy and my $17 roll didn't taste much different from the $10 one. Service was great. Jorden was super friendly:) the inside is really nice and clean. They have a lot of high tops and some low top table and a large bar. I will definitely be back for more of this burgers! read more

Had my first visit to Drake's last night and I was intrigued by the floor plan of the restaurant and bar area, as well as the separate bar entrance. We were seated quickly for dinner even though the place was busy, and our waitress was prompt to get our order. Drinks and appetizers came quickly also; I recommend the Buffalo chicken bites. We all ordered and the menu is varied, so almost everyone had something different. I ordered a spicy California roll and pork dumplings. I liked both, but I wish they offered steamed dumplings, which I prefer over the fried ones. Others in our party had "The Grinch" drink and found it very good. The chicken tenders were also highly complimented. I was glad to see a burger/American fare restaurant with a Sushi menu. read more

Burgers seemed to be premade and over cooked. Even asked for a remake and still came out the same. I expect my burger to have a little grease dripping off the side like it just came off the grill. Not like it was made yesterday On a positive note- our server Joni was excellent! read more

Must try!! We finally got to experience Drake's and it was SO GOOD!! The wait was long so we enjoyed drinks at the bar until our table was ready. Lacey made me a delicious tropical sangria. Our server Shannon was fun and attentive. I ordered sushi & everyone else ordered American. Even though our fried pickles came out after our food, they were hot and delicious (the dip was great too). Portions are great. A manager came over to ask how our experience was going (I love when managers table touch, shows great management) and she saw I ordered sushi which prompted her to bring out their crab rangoon roll. I'm so happy she did because it was *DELICIOUS & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND* now that I tried it. Thank you to the respectful, friendly & high energy staff! We will definitely be back soon!! read more

We've been wanting to try this place for a while since it always seems so busy every time we drive by. We finally went last night and feel that the place is pretty average. It was a few minutes after being sat for us to see our waitress (we didnt think it was a big deal but she gave us a free cookie for the wait). The menu has a decent variety of options as well as drinks both alcoholic and NA. We opted to try their Chicago roll which was really good but our entrees were average. This place is a little more pricey than others similar so I don't think we'll be rushing back but it was worth trying! read more

This is a provisional five star review. We'll see if it lasts as I continue to work through the menu. Beer, Burgers and Sushi? It's a bold strategy, but it seems to be paying off so far. On this first visit I focused on the Burgers. Smash style, supposedly fresh, never frozen. It's not as obvious with a smash burger, especially the way they serve them, but I'm not going to call them liars. These are indeed tasty burgers, but if you prefer yours thick and rare, this is not the place for you. The house fries are crinkle cut with mild seasoning. Typical, nothing to write home about. The dining area surrounds the bar, which is surrounded on two sides by the patio. The patio can be sealed off from the interior, but they're running wide open at the moment. This could get interesting (cold / drafty) in January, even with the roller doors shut. I guess I'd call the decor modern bar style? A lot of bench and high top seating. At least some of the tables have bag hooks. Service was friendly and attentive. Good luck getting into this place with less than a 30 minute wait. Peaks times will be over an hour. Will it endure? It seems like this chain is expanding fast. If you're paying attention, you might notice some bits that were cloned from a Tennessee location. They've got novelty on their side at the moment and they're frequently at or over capacity. Given the economic uncertainties of these modern times, who knows? Admittedly, I have no idea how much they're leveraged (if at all). It wouldn't be the first chain to come to the area to flourish briefly before giving up. Let's hope otherwise. read more

I haven't been out in a while I'm handicapped. I went there for the first time at the bar for three hours and have a blast. Great customers great service great bartender really enjoyed myself. Can't wait to come back. read more

I was REALLY hesitant to come to this place when it's so new...but my daughter insisted. I took a tour of the menu and was a bit shocked. The calamari salad was perfect and as good as I have had in high end sushi restaurants. The chili was actually served hot and had great consistency and spice. My burger was nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Toppings were on point. The fries were hot and crispy - and I loved the seasoning. Our server was Faithlyn and she was outstanding...very attentive, got our order right, smiled and just made us smile with her positive energy. I honestly can't believe what just happened. I know there are corporate trainers in town helping out, so things could change, but I hope not...if there is any knock on this place, it might be that it's a bit pricier than say Applebee's, but the food and service are better, so it's worth it. They will hopefully add more parking too, because if it rains, you are going to have some muddy shoes from the spaces in the back. We were told 35-45 minutes during 5:30 Friday dinner rush and we were seated in 25. They were extremely efficient. I'll see you again soon Drake's. read more

The only reason I am giving this a 4/5 and not 5/5 is the inability to call ahead or place reservations. We got there & put our name in for a 1 hour and 45 minute wait, YIKES. If there had been a way to call ahead or check in online like you can do with yelp (wink wink nudge nudge) that would be great!! The atmosphere here is incredible, so lively! We got some of their summer cocktails and I felt like I should be on the beach! For food, this place has everything. There is some picky eaters in our household so this place had something for everyone!!! Personally i had the sushi and oh boy, it was incredible!!! I will be back again to continue to try new things. This was a great addition to O'Fallon!! read more

The service was decent, a little lacking as our server was absent most of our time there The ambiance doesn't really matter since it is just a basic restaurant with very average setting The food was the major disappointment, I got a nice cold burger that was probably the saltiest thing I've ever had and some really nice overcooked tots that were like potato chips. Overall a high disappointment in a restaurant read more

Drake's - A cold and salty burger - Sushi Bars Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

Hot and new is correct! The food, atmosphere and service was great. I had the buffalo chicken mac & cheese, and my friend had the buffalo chicken sliders. Both were cooked to perfection and had really great flavor. Their summer drink menu is on point and I will definitely be back to support this establishment. Service was friendly but clearly still learning the ropes, as this is a brand new spot. The only criticism I have is that it is open air and they had the doors open in the dead of STL summer so it was really hot inside. We would have stayed longer but for the unbearable heat. Apologies that the photo is post dig-in, I was hungry! read more

Drake's - Buffalo chicken sliders and Buffalo Mac n cheese - Sushi Bars Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

Service was good but food that I had was not very good. Chili tasted like green peppers with very little spice. I asked for hot sauce and I was brought buffalo sauce. Now they just opened so I get it if they are still figuring it out. Here is where I had an issue. I signed up for rewards and they advertised an instant $5 off. It was not on my rewards. The server said she could get the manager and he would probably take it off but I did not want to raise a stink so I said no big deal hopefully it will be there next time. I ordered a house lager and it was on the menu at $6.75 and we were charged $7.50. Again not a big deal but it starts to add up. I will try one more time and order what they are known for next time. Overall it was ver clean and had a nice ambiance. There was also an older gentleman at the bar that was way over served. Hopefully not driving home. read more

drakes has a lot of space to hold a lot of people. All ages are welcome! They have an extensive bar menu with seasonal drinks and their BLT salad is phenomenal! The fact that you can choose from just about anything like steaks, burgers, which are very good and sushi, which is also enjoyable, is a big plus in my book, because that way everyone can get what they want We have never been there when we have not gotten great service! read more

This place doesn't know which way is up. Overpriced food that's also burnt, greasy and cold, confusing theme, no one managing seating. Got a burger and a BLT with tots that were dripping in old grease. Restaurant also doesn't have a host??? Seat yourself, so when the dinner rush arrived, I was facing the door and had a wall of faces staring back at me as new patrons wanted tables. There's nowhere for waiting folks to sit either. 90% of their tables are bar height too, so if you need a regular table, it's basically the Hunger Games, may the odds be in your favor. Will never be back. read more

Went for lunch. Had the Blue cheese salad and it was delicious. Also had some sushi and it was very good. Great service. Good drink specials. Highly recommend read more

This place is a place where you can find anything you're hungry for. It has great drinks and great atmosphere! Outdoor seating is great!

I dined in with some girlfriends and everything was going great until we had a horror of an experience. We overheard OUR server (miss "DELANEY") make a horrific racially charged remark; something about how a black person never tips. We were TAKEN ABACK, we didn't even think we heard correctly...but YES. She probably thought it was a okay to say due to the fact there were no black people around but ARE YOU SERIOUS. We're profiling now? This is the server you have and want to serve guests? What would have happened if we were black??? Would she treat us different?? One of my girlfriends called the store after but she's more passive than I. I need something done ASAP. I will not rest until someone addresses this. I want an apology--not just from the server, but from management. And hell will be raised if she still has her job. THIS IS NOT OKAY. read more

Enjoyed the free fried pickle app (we got with the coupon from the paper menu we looked at while waiting for our table) - that was a nice unexpected surprise. We were told the wait would be 30-40 minutes but were seated in about ten. There were lots of open tables; I assumed that maybe they didn't have enough staff to man them? Husband enjoyed his large burger and fries. My salad was pretty good as well. Our waiter was polite and attentive enough. read more

I always give places the benefit of the doubt but this place had THE blandest food. I wasn't expecting it to be that great with how big the menu was but we did not like anything. Not even the mushroom swiss burger had taste. Buffalo chicken wrap was just straight chicken and sauce, no extra things added like the menu said. Loved the look of it, had a really nice server but I do not think I will be eating there again. read more

Excellent food. Service is hit or miss. Atmosphere is awesome. Sushi options rock! Beers on tap and mixed drink options are awesome too. Love that they carry local hometown brews read more

The chicken sandwich was pretty good but in my opinion not really worth the price of $15. The service was decent and overall I will return but it's basically like an any other chain restaurant like 54th or Fridays's nothing special. read more

The food, service, and ambiance is great! The best time to go is Monday through Thursday to avoid the crowds.

Our frist time here. I went with the Big Blue burger with Mac. N Cheese as the side. Wife had the griddled Chicken breast with sweet potato waffle fries. Both were good. Waffle fries were excellent. read more

11/7/24, 11:30 am. Immediately seated, friendly, efficient staff, food was great (juicy Lucy mini burgers and fries and a club sandwich and fries), very reasonably priced. Only critique I could have was sodas were $3.25 each - seemed costly, but the meal portion was very reasonable in price. Our waitress was fantastic. We patronage great service and great food. We will be back!! read more

I want to start by saying the food here is really good. I've gone twice and have had sushi and sandwiches both of which were really good. Unfortunately the service here is so fucking terrible I will never go back unless someone forces me. I waited for ten minutes and had to flag down a waitress in order to get water. She apologized and said somehow they missed us and we didn't have a server... It also takes like 15 minutes to get a beer despite the very nice looking large bar they have. I watched two manager type people just watch me struggle to flag down a server as they did nothing to help. Super rude. This place is terrible and I'd recommend going almost anywhere else in town instead of going here. Panteras is right down the street and that place is way better! read more
