World Famous Chili and Burgers Right in Your Backyard
Our Story

A DePere Hot Spot Since 1952

Beginning as a place for friends and family to gather, The Drift as it is known by most quickly gained a reputation as a place to shoot pool, play darts and enjoy a good burger, fries and drinks.  Drift Inn Chili, a family recipe, was introduced to the menu as a way to serve the growing customer base a quick hearty meal that both satisfied hunger and was budget friendly, (we won’t address the noodles vs. no noodles issue here, talk amongst yourselves).  Once on the menu, the chili quickly gained a reputation as one of the best around, making the Drift Inn a great place for a quick lunch and keeping customers coming back for more.
