    Downtown Elon/ Heart of the City / Also a part of the Elon Social District! Can take your drink to other establishments if they are apart of the Social District! This cute pub wasn't busy at all around 2pm. Lots of open space / multiple TVs. Waitress ( female started with an A) was very nice. Gave lots of suggestions on drinks and food. Looks like they are known for their cheesesteaks! We ordered cheesesteak appetizers and pretzel bites. Cheesesteak Appetizers were a little dry but I poured a little bit of the cheese from the pretzel bites on it - made it 100 times better. Drinks - Blackberry Lemon Mojitos = Amazing!! Strawberry Lemon Mojitos = Bitter. She asked and allowed me to choose another drink. Very appreciative!! Food was great! Wings = Yummmm Cheesesteak = Yummmmmm Side Cesear Salad = Delish! Can't wait to return to try their amazing macaroni and cheese selections!!

    The outside front door, view from my seat.

    The service was absolutely amazing, Lily H was our server. I got the burger and my dad got the buffalo chicken cheesesteak, it was all very good. The vide of the place is also very nice, we sat outside and it was beautiful weather.

    Menu 1/24!

    Two ate for $55 before tip including an appetizer. Great bar atmosphere with sit down table seating - food was classic pub food. Clean, open air, full of tv's good service. They are known for their Philly cheesesteak anything's - the Nachos are insanely large. We got in and out on a crowded Saturday night.

    A lot would depend on what you order to eat. I have really good wings. The hamburgers are good the nachos are not so good. Sometimes they don't cook their chicken so good. And when you pointed out to someone no one does anything about it. Which is important

    me and mango!

    Magunks is gas!!! Good food, especially if u have a hot date. Yum! Love the vibe, and good servers. Check out this cool pic of me and my friend mango

    I've been coming to this place for 3 years now and it's all you can ask for in a pub with TVs, a jukebox and an outdoor patio. It's a great spot to catch a game or just grab drinks with friends. Never been a huge Mojito fan, but after watching the bartender make a few here I had to try one and... wow. They're legit. Tons of beer on tap, which just adds to the appeal.

    Told 20 minutes, waited over an hour. Then seated and waited another 30 minutes. Food is mid. Just popular because it's near Elon.

They…read morehave a small outdoor patio, the main seating area and bar, and a separate connected room with several larger tables for groups of four or more. My husband and I stopped in on a Thursday evening around 7pm and the place was pretty full. We sat ourselves at a table in the back room, and I noticed how laid back the place was, which is something I really appreciate. Sadly, it seemed that the relaxed vibe extended a bit too far and reflected on their cleanliness, as I noticed all of the chair rails were dusty, the floors a bit littered, our table sticky, and the plastic menus in need of replacing. Service, however, was wonderful. Our waitress was friendly and pretty attentive given how busy she was. My husband was happy with their on tap beer selection, deciding on Red Oak ($3 on Thursdays!). I went with a margarita and it wasn't the best, but thankfully I didn't pay much for it since it was also on special. They were out of the southwestern egg rolls I initially ordered, so I ended up going with the Philly cheesesteak and homemade chips. I enjoyed the cheesesteak's fresh bread; plenty of tender meat, peppers, and onions; and gooey cheese. It could have used more mayonnaise, but it was still quite good. The homemade chips were tasty but undercooked; if I had been hungrier, I definitely would have returned them and asked for a fresh batch. My husband absolutely devoured the cheeseburger and fries he ordered. He said that it was one of the best burgers he's had in quite a while, and this is a guy who loves burgers and eats them often. I want to return to Piedmont Ale House in the future. I think there are some things they seem to do really well, namely burgers and beer at really reasonable prices!

This time I decided to keep things a little more Atkins/keto friendly and ordered a grilled chicken salad and a cup of chili. The total came to just over $26, with the salad alone costing almost $17. I understand prices have gone up everywhere. I can accept that. What I can't accept is paying premium prices while the overall experience falls short. The first issue started before I even got inside. The restaurant was packed, and customers were parked all along the curb directly in front of the designated to go pickup area. That completely blocked access. It took me nearly ten minutes of circling the parking lot, backing up near the dumpster, moving again, and eventually squeezing my truck into a parking space (in the "to-go" pick up area where I'm supposed to be anyway) just to pick up my order. When you're that busy, parking becomes part of the customer experience. At some point management needs to step in and help keep traffic moving instead of allowing the pickup area to become unusable (don't tell me I'm wrong because I'll tell you what not only did. I have to navigate that situation due to cars being along the curb in front of the to go area, but two other vehicles that were parked in the to go spaces had nobody in them and I was there for 10 minutes waiting for my food so those people were inside eating in the restaurant I presume-given that I observed their empty vehicles for a total of 20 minutes). To be fair, the employee who brought my order out was excellent. She greeted me with a smile, was friendly, professional, and was easily the brightest part of the entire experience. Then I got home and opened the salad. For $17, this was honestly disappointing. The chicken, bacon, and toppings had simply been simply tossed in there, while the rest was mostly plain, sad looking lettuce. It looked rushed and careless, especially considering the price. The first of several photos are exactly how the salad looked the moment I opened the container on my kitchen counter. I hadn't touched it or moved anything around. The last photo, however, my awesome lady was able to turn that same salad into something amazing in just a couple of minutes. SHE chopped up some pepperoni that we already had in the refrigerator, diced a little Colby Jack cheese, added tomatoes, mixed everything together, and finished it with ranch dressing and a level 10 appearance on the plate. She didn't have to cook anything. She simply took the time to prepare it the way a $17 salad probably should have looked when it left the restaurant. The chili was good, and I'll absolutely give credit where it's due. Drake's still has menu items I enjoy, and I've had plenty of good meals there over the years. But when you're charging premium prices, customers deserve the same level of quality whether the restaurant is half full or packed to the walls. Being busy explains delays. It doesn't excuse lowering the standard. I genuinely hope Drake's takes this as constructive feedback because I know they can do better. I've seen them do better!
