Drake’s Duck-In isn’t trying to reinvent comfort food — it’s been serving it longer than most places in town have existed. Since 1907, this Main Street staple has been the go-to for fried chicken, breakfast plates, burgers, and the kind of diner classics people grew up on. It’s familiar, fast, and exactly what you came for.

Food was good and the inside of the restaurant is neat and tidy. I was most impressed with the massive portion. The sandwich had two huge chicken tenders on it. I recommend this place if you have not tried it!

The service was excellent and the food delicious. The restaurant was spotless but they were still cleaning. The chicken sandwich was huge! The fries were also delicious.

The food was amazing! The wait staff was amazing and they get paid more than minimum wage! The burger was delicious and wasn’t too messy, and the fries were perfectly cooked. Think McDonald’s fries but natural cut! Great portion of food for the price and you can tell they use quality ingredient’s on everything. The ... bun was the softest bun I’ve ever had from a restaurant, including some fine dining! Read More

I finally tried Drake's Duck-In after hearing so many good things from my coworkers, and it definitely lived up to the hype! I ordered the two-piece meal with fries and a drink, and everything was hot, fresh, and flavorful. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, while the fries were ... golden and well-seasoned. The service was quick and friendly, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're craving classic Southern-style fried chicken or just need a satisfying meal on the go, Drake's Duck-In is definitely worth a visit! Read More

Stopped in for the first time to grab dinner. I ordered the Classic Burger, which was cheesy, and juicy. This Burger was delicious! I also ordered the 3 piece dark Chicken. The chicken was fried perfectly, and flavorful.The restaurant is extremely clean, and the service was good.

Stopped by Drake’s Duck-In during a quiet hour around 4 pm and had a great experience! I ordered the 2 piece Dark Chicken with a thigh and leg, plus fries and a roll, while my mom got the same but with two thighs. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside, seasoned well, and very ... flavorful. The food came out quickly, the staff was welcoming, and everything—from the dining area to the bathroom—was very clean. If you love chicken, you’ll love this spot! Read More
