The Drummer is a long time lunch location for my coworkers and me, 20+ years now.
As others have noted, The Dirty Drummer is a bit divey, but the burgers are fantastic and the service is feel-good personable. So, head on over and have some soul-quenching food and a great time.
I get the Cheese Drummer with Bacon. Delicious... Mmmmm. They put a little port wine on the meat during the cooking process. There is nothing that compares to the Drummer Burger taste. It is transcendent. I can't get anything else because the burger is just too damn good to not get the same experience each time I arrive. Also, we typically share a side of crisp tasty fries and usually some wings.
It's a relaxing satisfying trip each time. The only detraction is that the beer is not cold enough for me... for me. I usually ask for a glass of ice, so I can drop a cube or two in my mug as I'm pour from the pitcher. Small price to pay. Still rates 5 stars though.
I love coming here. Lots of memories. A few mysteries, like whether Zane (the owner) owns a pair of long pants. I don't think so, never witness him wearing anything but shorts. We'll just have to keep going to find out.
Keep up the good work, we appreciate it.
I've probably been to the Drummer on 44th & Thomas more. That store will get a slightly different review. Both will make you happy, but the Country Club location is my favorite.
