The shepherd's pie here is delicious. Their mashed potatoes are noteworthy. It's creamy and so smooth! Nice beer selection and friendly staff.

The Proper Burger is outstanding. Looks small but big on taste. I also had the sweet potato fries which were also great.

It's a small place so plan ahead, but it's got a great vibe.

We came for Duke’s famous wagyu burger, but they were out. We pivoted to other menu items and still had a wonderful evening. The cozy vibe, great music, friendly server, and Apple Farm drink (hot cider, apple, cinnamon, and whiskey) more than made up for it—especially on a chilly night!

In my opinion, Duke’s would be the great place for you and friends to go for some drinks or maybe even a little late night grub. But it’s not a place I’d recommend as a date night restaurant. I enjoyed the fries and my boyfriend liked the cubano. However, our experience did not live up to the high reputation that this restaurant has— our experience was average. My wings were not very good which was a bit disappointing given 6 wings cost $11. Additionally, the seating left a little to be desired as a restaurant: my boyfriend and I sat at a counter for our meal even though we had asked for a table. Finally, the ambiance within the restaurant (at least on the 1st floor) was better suited towards a bar. All in all, I think a good pick for late-night food or drinks with friends, but not the best date night spots

Had a great experience at Dukes. I was searching for a place with a great burger and a unique cocktail list and I surely found it here. The pickle martini was amazing.

Fantastic experience! Amazing food.
Highly recommend the Bangers & Mash and the Old Fashioned.
We were celebrating the arrival of our 1st Grandbaby! Duke’s made it special.

Food was mid. My food was cold. Other than that, people were nice and ambiance was ok. For this much $$ I expect hot food, not cold French fries.

Cool, trendy place, comfort food, burger 🍔 has two options medium rare or well done, reminded me of Pulp Fiction, bloody as hell or burnt to a crisp;)

This is a noisy place so if you're going there it's to socialize. It's as good a place as any. If you're looking to have serious conversation not so much. The seating is crowded together. The food was very good and the staff was accommodating. Good energy.

Really, really disappointed in our dinner here. The service was pretty nonexistent. We paid $14 for holiday drinks that were supposed to come with extra add-ons (crushed candy cane, gingerbread cookies, etc). When our drinks were delivered to the table, nothing was said about the absent add-ons and no apology was offered. When we finally asked, we were simply told “Oh, we ran out.” The bangers and mash was cold when it came out. My friend asked for salt and never received it. I had heard so many good things about this place — sadly, none of them were true for us.
