Drifters' Eats & Drinks

Drifters Eats & Drinks: Resilience with a River View

There are many great views in Grafton, but the experience from the outdoor patio at Drifters Eats & Drinks is truly something special. Situated right on the river, it offers a front-row seat to stunning, panoramic sunsets over the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers.

The food is just as impressive as the view. While they have a full menu, one of our personal favorites is the Northern Burger—a delicious creation with cream cheese, bacon, and the perfect blend of seasonings. Inside, you'll find plenty of seating and even a few arcade games and a claw machine to keep the kids entertained, making it a perfect spot for the whole family, rain or shine.

More than just a restaurant, Drifters is a story of resilience. Like many in Grafton, they have learned to bounce back from struggles, embodying the hard work and perseverance of the true American Dream. Supporting a business like Drifters is supporting the very heart of our community.

And their story is still being written! A huge new addition is coming soon, so be sure to stay tuned. Come for the sunset, stay for the burger, and leave knowing you've supported a business with incredible spirit.
