Customer Review Summary

Drake's Knoxville offers a unique blend of sushi and burgers in a noisy sports bar atmosphere. The smash and Morning Burgers receive high praise for their flavor and messiness, with fries described as crispy and well-seasoned. The sliders are noted to be just as good as the entrees. Outdoor seating is recommended for a quieter experience. Pros include good burgers, fair prices, and crispy fries, while cons mention limited seating and noise. The restaurant is suitable for large groups with diverse tastes, providing a variety of decent franchise-style food options. Some dishes like mini cheeseburgers and Tuna Poke bowls are highlighted as delicious, while service is described as friendly and excellent. A few negative experiences included a dry burger and flavorless mac & cheese during a takeout order. Overall, reviews suggest a mixed experience but with a generally positive outlook on food quality and service.

Color me impressed. Sushi and Burgers at a sports bar.. who knew. It's a sports bar so it's noisy. But the smash burger.. wow. I wasn't prepared for it. Got the Morning Burger. So 2 smashed patties, bacon, egg, salsa, cheese. It's a hangover cure before you're hungover. LOL Well seasoned and messy. Just the way a burger should be. Fries were crispy and salted. So, no complaints. The sliders were as good as the full size. If it's cool, sit outside for a quieter meal. Pros: Good Burgers, fair prices, crispy fries Cons: Limited seating, noisy

Excellent for a large group with varied tastes. Many types of food. Nothing exceptional, but all were good franchise food.

I've heard a lot of good things about Drake's, and I would say it was an overall great experience. I just got the mini cheeseburgers with a side of sweet potato waffle fries, and they were super delicious. My server was also really nice and great to talk to. The only issue I had was the trash that was sitting on the ground the entire time I was dining, but it didn't not affect the delicious food or amazing service.

Good variety of food. I like that I can pick either American or Sushi at the same spot. This time I picked a Tuna Poke bowl and it was fresh and filling.

I had the cheddar burger with French fries for lunch and siracha wings. The cheddar burger was decent. If I had to order again, I would have ordered something different. The siracha wings were tasty and worth trying. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was laid back. If you are looking for a sports hangout on Kingstonpike, Drakes might be the place for you! 84 C

I was actually surprised that the fried fish was really good!! They do military discounts!

We had sushi rolls and they were pretty good. I'd definitely order again! The old fashion was very well made, service was good! Menu is a little bit of everything but what we had was good so no complaints

It's been awhile since I've been to Drake's. Today we ordered takeout. The burger was dry (overcooked) and the mac&cheese was flavorless. The rest was fine but nothing great. Definitely won't visit any time soon.
