Cookeville – DRAKE’S is set to open in July 2023. The company announced the opening on-site at the future home of the restaurant next to Panda Express in the shoppes at Eagle Point in Cookeville.

Although specializing in “Burgers and Sushi,” the restaurant and bar will also serve salads and chili, smashed burgers, steaks and sandwiches along with craft cocktails. It has been touted as a restaurant that loves beer and a bar that loves food.
