Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. I had a large family event here and everyone loved it! Favorite dishes were kugelis, potato pancakes, beet soup, salad, combo platters. The desserts were amazing! I highly recommend.

We brought our mom here for her birthday. Everything was perfect! Domi was an amazing server. It’s been ages since we had a server like her. They had live music and the musician played happy birthday for our mom. 🥰

Grand Duke's Restaurant offers a diverse menu with Polish and Czech cuisine, including soups, salads, sandwiches, and main courses. The Lithuanian combo remains a popular choice for sampling different dishes. Customers often praise the delicious food, especially the potato pancakes and breaded pork cutlet, which are described as perfectly cooked and served in generous portions. The restaurant is known for its outstanding service and friendly staff, making it a good choice for families. The drinks are also highly regarded.
Many customers enjoy the ambiance, which is welcoming and lively. However, some note that the loud band music during the evening can make communication difficult. The atmosphere is vibrant, with fast service, though some reviews mention that service can be slow at times. Despite minor issues with seating and timing, visitors find the food worth the wait and express their desire to return. Overall, Grand Duke's provides a great experience with hearty, comforting West-slavic and Lithuanian dishes.
