Stopped by this spot hoping for a quick bite, but it ended up being a bit of a wait. A few menu items were already sold out, which was a bummer, and the prices were definitely on the higher side. The food was decent once it came. I'd come back if I'm in the area again--curious to try other things on the menu.

Amazingly crisp and juicy fried chicken with the waffles, the traditional wings were done very well and their service was phenomenal. Can't say enough great things about this spot

Great restaurant. The service was nice and the interior was clean and smelled nice. They have a video game and the tv on in the corner. Soul music filled the air. I got the loaded grits with bacon as my meat. It was DELICIOUS. When they say loaded, they mean it! These grits had peppers that were red and green, onions, cheese, and thick cut bacon with a delicious smoky flavor. All topped with an egg! I would definitely recommend coming here for the grits. I'll come back another time and try the chicken for sure. The serving size was massive. And I had to take half of it home despite my large appetite.

The food was pretty good. Decent price considering the conditions of the economy lol. Nice service they hooked us up with a banana pudding it was very good.

Drae's had been on my list of places to try for a while now, and I am happy to say it met and exceeded my expectations. I ordered the Spicy chicken tenders, Mac & Cheese, and a Grits Breakfast bowl. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I had great and helpful service as well. I'll definitely be back to try more items, and I highly recommend giving Draes Lake Route a try.

This is food that hugs and comforts your soul in the best way possible. It's food done more than right. It's like your grandma and aunties are all in the kitchen together cooking you some good ole soul food made with love. Except it not your grandma and aunties. It's just good ass chefs. Living in Seattle, I get shocked when I find a place that I would consider affordable eats. I'm impressed that not only is place affordable but it's damn delicious too! I cannot tell you one single wrong with my food. The grits were creamy and buttery. The fried fish was battered and seasoned to perfection. It was crispy on the outside but moist and tender on the inside. I mean even my English muffin was toasted and made to perfection. Butter literally in all the nooks and crannies. The fried chicken wings were good too. Just like the fish they were battered and seasoned nicely and yet still juicy on the inside. And baby, the pork chops here are dynamite. The batter is light and crispy and the meat so tasty. And if you get the loaded grits, just know the bowl is loaded. You get to pick your perfect combination for a bowl of savory grits and choose your add ins. The hot links are indeed hot with a nice kick to them. Don't be surprised if you can't finish your loaded grits. It's a lot of food. It's sinful how good all the food was. Everything came out piping hot and fresh. The service was excellent too. Friendly and polite service with a warm welcome. The place is small and quaint on the inside but there is some seating outside. So I definitely will understand if there is a wait. We will definitely be back and this place will absolutely become a regular rotation for us.

This place was fire. Awesome chicken and waffle sliders, fantastic strawberry lemonade, and great sauce options. The staff was kind too! Highly recommend!!

My boyfriend and I went here on a Saturday morning on a whim, and we were not disappointed! Let me backtrack a moment.. my boyfriend moved up to Washington from Florida, so he has had amazing grits while adventuring all around the South growing up, and we have been looking for a spot that, according to him, "does Southern grits right." A little over a year later, and we finally found a spot that is up to his high standards. LOL. He let me have a tiny bite, and wow! Savory, cheesy goodness. I'll have dreams about it, but my chicken and waffles were sooo yummy that his grits have competition for my food dreams. The chicken was flavored so well and had that crunchy goodness... and that waffle!! Mmmmm!!! The staff were super nice too! I wish I would've asked the girl's name at the counter. She is such a sweetheart. She unfortunately had to deal with a rude customer while we were there and handled it so well. When she brought us our food afterward, she and Drae said that they could remake my boyfriend's eggs since it cooked a little bit longer due to that event but it came out delish! No worries there! Thank you for the wonderful food!! Anyway, we will definitely be back in the future. If you're in the area, try out this gem!

LOVE THE WINGS! Highly recommend getting them tossed in mango pineapple habanero sauce. Also very cheap for 1 pound of wings. It's sweet and savory, the best of both worlds. The mac & cheese is more like a pasta, so it is a heavier side. The chicken and waffle sandwich is okay, but not bad. The salad was really good. Definitely check this place out for some quick bites!

Small neighborhood restaurant. We were lucky to find some street parking. Excellent service. Amazing food! Eco-friendly take out containers. What's not to love? My husband got the fried fish sandwich-he said it was very tasty. I got the loaded grits with double bacon and no eggs. Sooooo delicious! Coma inducing comfort food. We split the mac & cheese which was over the moon good! We will definitely be back!
