Drifters Inn - Essex, Ontario

Server was very passive aggressive toward our family with two little ones who were four and two and well behaved. Food was ok. Decor was interesting. Service was flawed.

I went on their last day open and the server was definitely the rudest server Ive ever had in my life. I wont go into details but she had a serious attitude problem and made me feel extremely unwelcome and I literally was afraid to say anything because she kept ... snapping at us! Completely uncalled for. She was sighing heavily the whole time like it was a huge inconvenience to her to serve customers at her place of business. The food was not good either. Nachos were literally dumped out of a bag from Costco and not even warmed up. no toppings or anything. Could have bought the whole bag for less than we paid here. I see why this place closed!!!

Drifters is a friendly and cozy place with vegetarian and gluten-free options. Table service is friendly and everything seems home cooked. It's not cookie cutter foodservice fare.

We had dinner at Drufter’s last night. We ordered a platter of perch and shrimp to share. It was delicious! We ordered another platter of perch. SO DELICIOUS!! We’ll go again

Drifters is my go to stop for a cold beer and great food! I would recommend this place to anyone coming through town or a local looking for a nice place to come into. The menu has many choices, even great for picky eaters like me!
