    Veggie Omelette
    K T.

    We stopped into Drake's for Breakfast in Grove in mid August. Drake's wasn't very busy when we arrived, and we sat ourselves in a comfy booth. Our waitress was super-friendly, and efficient. We ordered from the menu, and enjoyed our drinks. Our food was on our table in about ten minutes, and it was hot & delicious. By the time we left Drakes, the restaurant was full. If you are looking for a great breakfast experience in Grove- stop in at Drakes.

    Choice of 5 sides - veggie meal!

    I wish I could say that Drake's is as good as it was only months ago but it isn't so, especially if you are looking for a great selection of vegetables. There are plenty of places around that serve a 'meat & potatoes' fare but I always liked Drake's veggie options. Lately, those have failed. The cabbage was brown mush, over cooked and tasteless. Green beans were equally blah. Fried okra?! Not on the menu anymore, nor carrots, fruit salad, sweet potatoes. Beets are not sliced anymore but whole and pickled with way too much clove seasoning. Oh well, I guess I have to forget eating out and just cook at home.

    Had the catfish buffet, choice of blackened catfish or fried. Chef was as heavy handed with the seasoning, fried potatoes was cold, brown beans under season. Not much selection on the salad bar, wilted iceberg lettuce, peaches tasted sour was looking forward to some good country cooking but NO BUENO. Cornbread was the only good thing in the buffet and the service was lacking. Will not be back.

    Friday special - fried chicken and three sides for $7.99.

    I love me some good old fashioned diner smack in the middle of a small town. The place was simple and needed some updating but it was clean nonetheless. You can do the all you can eat soup and salad bar for $7.99. They even have baked potatoes included on the salad bar. We passed on the soup and salad bar for on the menu items. We had the fried chicken instead. The fried chicken was okay. It was cooked right and had the crunchiness expected of a good fried chicken but it lacked in taste. It seriously needed salt. The sides that came with the chicken also needed taste. The only thing worth eating here are the rolls that came after we placed our order. The rolls were piping hot. We finished the two rolls and the waitress gave us two more. Excellent service and a decent place, but the cook needs to add salt to the food!

    The beams were good the ham not do much.  I also had the mashed potatoes and cottage cheese. Tasty but not my favorite.

    The decoration is worth stopping in. Makes you think time stopped in the 90s and everyone is ok with that! The food came quickly. It was good, not great. I had the brown beans and corn bread. The beans were good but the added ham wasn't so great. I picked out all of the ham. The service was quick and the location was easy and clean. Check them out of you need some pick curtain ideas ;-)

    If your in the area and want some good type of home cooking. Stop here. The chicken fried steak was some of the best I have had.

It might improve IF OKLAHOMA HAD A UNBIASED STATE RAN GAMING COMMISSION... People do not realize that the last casinos that were commissioned by the owners were ran by the Mafia... How Oklahoma casinos have the right to commission themselves is a question only an ignorant person could give an answer to ... Go to Kansas City go to New Orleans at least you have legitimate chance of winning at a casino that has a proper common sense state ran gaming commission making sure they stay legitimate and fair . Gamble anywhere but in Oklahoma if you want to have a fair gambling experience until Oklahoma decides that a state ran gaming commission makes more sense than what the Indians told them was a good idea ... I guess Oklahomas governor and lawmakers were complete idiots the year they decided to open casinos there or they were bought off cheap... These casinos are straight up very obvious rip offs only to place second to most online gaming ... You cannot expect a fox to feed your chickens and when you do Oklahoma casinos happen... You cannot complain to anyone who doesn't work for the casino you are complaining about and if you do and you right they will ask you to never return to their casino... I complained about the buttons not working on a 3 wheel slot ... The slot manage got a tech to check it out ... The tech couldn't even use the buttons to navigate thru the menu on the machine so she put an out of order sign on it ... That's when I reminded them that malfunction voids all pays and pays and I wanted my money back because the machine should have been out order because it was not 100% functional ... The manager said that wouldn't be possible and I said yes it is very possible and it is illegal to have a machine operating on the floor that isn't 100% operational and I reminded him that these were their rules... They went to the office and 10 minutes later while I'm waiting my friend to leave they come and take to the cashier's and give me back every dime I spent from time I walked into the place ... Then I was told I was not welcome at their casino anymore ... It's a trick of the casinos to take as long as possible to respond to a complaint because people have no patience to wait ... My little ordeal took three hours of waiting for the slot manager and then the tech and then the casino manager but I waited them out most people won't and they know that so they use it . Just like shutting down all the ATMs at the same so customers have to wait in line to cash out ... They know most people won't wait and continue to gamble ... These are practices that would get a casino in a state with real gaming commission heavily or shut down if it was continued... But not in Oklahoma ..

The place is well maintained - and doesn't show too much wear for all the traffic a casino hotel can have. If you're a pool person - their pool is way nice, cozy of sorts and has a full bar outside. The Rock & Brew bar is neat looking and has some great bar food. And they're getting ready to open their other new (nicer) restaurant concept - that likely will have it being a major upgrade to the sit down (nicer) food options they've had in the past (which really lacked).

Downstream has a far better poker room - Indigo always has big bingo events - there's the big difference with the gaming side. Otherwise, these two hotels stand well above any of the Indian casinos in the area (well above I say).

I left with nothing but vibes, a free Sprite, and a new smoking habit. Every spin felt like destiny. I was one totem away from greatness--every. single. time. And yet? The totems said "nah." But did I walk away? Of course not. I chased that win like it owed me rent and emotional closure. I lost all $5,000 in about... two hours. Somewhere between the fourth bonus round fake-out and me fist-bumping a slot machine, someone outside handed me a cigarette. I'd never smoked in my life. I lit it with a shaky hand, took one drag... and felt peace. Chaos, but peace. I haven't stopped since. Now I'm broke, slightly wheezy, and spiritually bonded to a totem named "Big Luck." But the lights were glowing, the music was thumping, and I was clapping like I just saw Beyoncé in Vegas. I even cried. The staff handed me napkins and didn't say a word. Just a gentle nod. Respect. Would I do it again? Yes. I already booked a room for next weekend. 5 stars. I left my dignity at the blackjack table and found myself outside, puffin' like a noir movie character. Never felt more alive.
