We were travelers... went to see the Packers and all the great sites in the area... one of the locals recommended this place! We are from Essex, Maryland so we love all the little local places, and this place hit the spot!!! Walked in, immediately 2 guys offered their seats to us! Then the food was perfect, a delicious cheeseburger with a surprise of butter, hence butter burger! Then the chili! Another surprise of spaghetti noodles under the chili!!! Delish! The locals all educated us on the butter and noodles! The prices were more than reasonable and we fell in love with people of Green Bay! Go Pack Go! read more

This was my first time coming here. They have a large bar with a lot of seating everywhere. The bar is clean , spacious , and staff everywhere. Great variety of food on the menu. We all ordered the chili, only to realize quite literally everyone at the bar (15+) were all eating chili too, it something you have to try! Prices are fair and reasonable. No complaints at all, would definitely come back! read more

Service and food are always amazing. Probably my favorite burgers in the area, and the chili is definitely a must get. I highly recommend this place instead of going to krolls. read more

So much awesomeness in this diner/bar joint. It's a must stop any time we are even remotely in the area. The staff here don't stop--they hustle and have fun. Chili is served Cincinnati style (which means with beans and spaghetti) but has a bit more liquid that a Cincinnati chili...it's pretty classic with the perfect amount of heat and you can absolutely order it meat only. Crinkle or Waffle fries. What's not to love with those two options? The best. We go classic with our burgers: cheeseburger with everything: ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions. *The onions are served raw and in slices unless you ask for them then diced or fried. They are a thin 1/3 lb patty cooked over a flame and a dollop of butter added at the very end before it gets wrapped up and served with love. You can have it your way so just let them know how you want it. read more

Every time I visit there I have had great food and service! Once you go there, you will return.

I do not want to understate this but if you want good food....you don't want to worry about whether or not you will like it...then this is the place! Nothing fancy to anything on the menu but it's all delicious food. You can go other places if you want something more unique but if you want to be satisfied then this is your place. read more

Chili was watered down compared to what it was. My burger was burned ... with black edges and bun was also burned on top.

What a find! Loved the chili a must have along with a fresh burger. Reasonable prices and a large selection of ice cold draft beer. I will definitely go back whenever back in town! read more

Apparently known for their chili and burgers. Ordered both and very disappointed in both. The waffle fries and cheese curds were good though. Would not make a return visit of ever back in town. It was also very hard to get an Uber out of there as well read more

A great local dive to Green Bay! They recently added on a dining room which is a step up from the dive bar scene on the right. Food is always freshly made and hot from the kitchen. The cooks even bring it to your table! Ordered the chicken sandwich and cheese curds. Others in my group had the cheeseburger. Would recommend. Great cheap food read more

The Drift Inn - Chicken Sandwich with White Cheese Curds - American Near Me - DePere, Wisconsin

My favorite burger in Green Bay Area is the drift burger hamburger and brat on toasted bun. However the last 4 times I have been there even asking to make sure bun is toasted it is not has just ruined my favorite spot for a burger today was my last time attempting to even go. Such a sad day now I will have to find a new favorite. read more

Best burgers ever! What a treat to experience! Go early -- it's clearly the most popular spot in town, and for good reason. Great value, delicious food, and the staff is simply the best! read more

Food?! Is gross. luckily it is cheap. Beer was mediocre. Server was friendly but never came back after getting our beer. We had another person dropping off our order. Ambiance. Crowed but coolish vibe.. read more

The Drift Inn - Cheeseburger, French Fries, Lime Vodka Lemonade - American Near Me - DePere, Wisconsin

A great place for Packers fans! Legendary chili that you can order to eat inside or for takeout. Wisconsin style cheeseburgers with a side of cheese curds are definitely worth it. Highly recommend the full loaded chili cheese boat (oversized tater tots). Place is always packed, but the service is good. A classic Wisconsin bar experience read more

Typical Wisconsin bar and restaurant atmosphere. Service was slow and while the cheese curds were delicious the cheeseburger was dry and disappointing. Probably won't be back. read more

The Drift Inn - Menu - American Near Me - DePere, Wisconsin

Never a disappointment. Bar burgers, chili with onions and cheese, drinks, atmosphere. Never find this in Michigan.

The food was tasty. I got a cheeseburger and cheese curds. I ate it all. My husband ordered the cheeseburger with chili, he liked it and ate it all. The iced tea was good (you would not believe how bad Iced tea can be) but this is actually a nice flavor. The waitress was quick to greet us she was friendly. It is very much a bar. The prices were AWESOME!! I did not use the bathroom...but I would figure the way the rest of the bar was it would be good as well. read more

This place has been there forever. I used to eat lunch there and go for happy hour after work back in the late 80's and early 90's. A recent trip to Green Bay made me wonder if it was still a good place to go. Though it has changed over the past 30-odd years, the food and quick service has not. Tap beer was cold and crisp, the burger was fantastic. My wife had a fish sandwich which was also great. A great, inexpensive place to pop in for a good bar burger and a beer. And their chili is legendary. read more

So far the service is pretty good compared to other similar businesses , food was ok we liked that the place is clean and we definitely will come back read more

Absolutely amazing bar food. I'm in town from California and drove by here at 12:45p on a Tuesday and the parking lot was packed. Had to stop in. Came back later for dinner. Watched the Brew Crew. Had a tasty dinner. Double Cheeseburger Cheese Curds and Waffle Fries. Stuffed afterwards. Been back 2x since. read more

The Drift Inn - Delicious chili! - American Near Me - DePere, Wisconsin

Would highly recommend anyone visiting Green Bay to stop by this place. It is packed with Packers fans as well as many locals, and is cheaper than some of the places surrounding the stadium. We ordered food to go and it came out quickly! Drift Chili: A Green Bay specialty that is slightly different then your average chili. Chili is filled with a lot of meat. Interesting twist of pasta in it. Flavorful chili and delicious if you put it on French fries (which we got a die of) Cheese curds: delicious Wisconsin specialty! Perfectly fried with a delicious cheese! Better than your average mozzarella stick. read more

If you're looking for a great burger and chili, this is the place to go... pair it with a beer and you're set.

Best burger in town. Trust me. They are always packed. I went at like 2pm midweek and every spot at the bar was taken. I'm sure a few were there to booze, but most were just eating chili and burgers. Their fries were decent. I have not tried their chili, but I need to very soon. See photos I snapped of the deliciousness that is the Drift Inn cheeseburger. read more

I come to Green Bay at least 4 times a year, but I ave never been here BUT I am very happy I have found this place for lunch First, I love when you walk in that it is like a small older diner/coffee shop where the large rounded counter and seating looks at the the two cooks making food They have a bar and lots of tables in the rest of the restaurant with wall hanging propaganda about the Green Bay Packers The women servers are great. They have attitude, spunk and are funny I love the menu is printed on both sides of the large napkin holder Here is what I had: (yes- it was a lot of food for lunch) * Cheese curds- very tasty * Chili on top of spaghetti (Cincinatti style) - the chili was awesome * waffle fries- very good * Drift Burger- a double burger with one beef patty and one bratwurst patty, american cheese, onions, relish, butter, and more- it was so GOOODDDDD!!!!!! I will be back and also figure out how to get their chili back to LA! read more

Local spot here in Green Bay highly recommended by locals. Had the chili, fried cheese curds and the Drift Inn Burger (burger & bratwurst). Chili was on point and while I don't normally eat chili w/ spaghetti in it I had no complaints. Cheese curds were spectacular. Drift Inn Burger was delicious. This food is not diet friendly and I was completely OK with that. Service was very good. Hope to get back here in the future. read more

The Drift Inn - Chili...so good! - American Near Me - DePere, Wisconsin

Drift Inn was recommended by a local, vfriendly, passerby for a late dinner (very few places open and serving food at 9 pm) .... What a wonderful surprise! Very good food (hamburgers and chile), wonderful staff, clean and good ambiance. read more

Ridiculously good. Got my double cheeseburger in under 5 minutes and it was wonderful as the butter was melting out of the bun. One of the best in my opinion! read more

Burger was delicious. Chili was good if you like the more soupy chili with spaghetti noodles. I did not care for the waffle fries. Not cripsy or seasoned. As for service; my waitress wasn't that friendly, but the lady running the front was. It was pretty steady when I was there. It was a small pub feel to it. read more

One of the top burgers in Green Bay. Maybe not my number one, but in the ballpark. The appeal to this place that it's all about the food, drinks and quick service. No fancy menu, no background music or even TV for that matter. Just come in, sit down at the bar or one of the tables and order your drink and your food. Maybe this is why every time I've been here it's usually 80-90% men! Sandwiches, sides and beverages... No salads, no wraps and no frills! read more

I just picked up some burgers fries "to go" The food was horrible! 10/10 don't recommend getting take out. Probably a better experience if you dine in if you catch my drift. read more

Love this place, it's like a Green Bay staple. I get a Cheeseburger, fries, and a chili every time.

So happy we came here. Fantastic chili, with spaghetti. Fried cheese curds, and phenomenal cheeseburgers with all the works. This place is classic Wisconsin at it's best. Visiting Lambeau, come here. read more

This place is a Green Bay staple. You can drive by at any time of day on any day of the week, and it will be packed. They have fantastic chili and burgers. A bowl of chili with noodles will fill you right up. I've been here a couple of times, and have not ever been disappointed. They also have a full bar, so you can enjoy a drink or beer with your meal. Even if it's really busy, your food and drinks come out super fast. They recently expanded, so there is a bit more room on the inside now. Try this place if you've never been! read more

The Drift Inn - Amazing chili - American Near Me - DePere, Wisconsin

Good food good prices! I like that they have simple options for the burgers. Their chili is really good! I also got the mini tacos. Overall food was 9/10, burger is a little thin so I'd recommend the double if you like thicker. The service was 10/10! Quickly served every time. Check this place out! read more

Great place. Wonderful service. Inexpensive food and terrific chili. Love the sun drop soda in a bottle.

5 for Great food. 1- Can't follow instructions. Explicitly requested it to put on one bill. So we went and paid bill and we're in walking out to the parking lot and two ladies come out yelling we didn't pay our bill. we were like what? We just paid it. you just checked us out. Apparently they put it on 2 checked for each table instead of one as we requested. And they had a shift change and they didn't communicate it to the new waitress. thank you for a Successfully job making your customers look like assholes when it was your own fault. for that you get a 1. read more

I saw this place on Facebook as one of the 10 best places in the State of Wisconsin to have a butter burger. In that context this place would not make my top 10 list but they do have a slightly above average burger, albeit on the small side. The place is somewhat of a dive type place. It is not divey in a scary way and I felt quite comfortable with my family. The burger is definitely on the small side. I noted the butter flavor but was definitely not that much butter being used. The chili had solid flavor but had very few noodles in it. I suppose noodles and chili are a personal preference type thing so that review could go either way. The wait staff was not overly personable and needed to return to the table multiple times before our group of 6 had all of our food. We needed to remind the waitress 3 times exactly how many and what size bowls of chili we ordered. Reasonable prices and the place is not that far from Lambeau Field, so it has that going for it. read more
