If you're craving diner food & diner atmosphere then the Drake Diner is the way to go. We recommend their milkshakes, Bloody Mary's, Club sandwich and Maytag Burger. (The Maytag Burger was enjoyed by Yo Yo Ma during his '05 visit with the Des Moines Symphony!) Service is sometimes questionable, but who really cares when you're at a campus spot? Family friendly and great for breakfast or lunch, this is another great Drake Neighborhood mainstay.
