I stopped in for breakfast and ordered a breakfast quesadilla, which for a quesadilla, had far too little cheese. The restaurant was clean and appealing, the service was warm and friendly, but the flavor just wasn't there. The food was decent, just very bland.

I’ve stayed at the hotel a lot for work the past two months and eat most of my meals here. The staff is friendly and the food is great. I’ve had many different menu items and haven’t had a bad meal yet!

The food and service was amazing! Cabot Mac & Cheese was best ever and made the best Chicken Caesar Salad I tasted in awhile!Dietary restrictions: I can't tolerate spicesand have to have chicken plain. I rarely get it correctly. They did it!Parking: We were shocked it was not busy on Sat at 6pm. Parking close to door was great.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in and Out

The service and food is top notch. Thanks to the service staff (Julie) (Rosa) and the chef and cooks and dishwashers for making the experience more than enjoyable. Looking forward to trying the rest of their fabulous menu. - a REAL critique.

First time back here after a few Years absence. The new Decor is very clean and Modern. I had a BLT and my husband had a club sandwich. Both were fabulous. The french fries were outstanding. The service was very good. Will try the breakfast next. Lunch menu was limited to about 12 to 15 items but all of them looked very appealing and there was quite a variety

The food is good! I had the nachos and tried their pork special and they were phenomenal. The pork was super tender and juicy, as well as the flavorful maple roasted brussel sprouts. The cheese curds were delicious and addictively soft and crunchy. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and the service was fast and attentive. We did not go more than a few minutes with our glasses half or almost empty. The prices for entrees and appetizers are around 15- 28 dollars depending on what you get but the portion sizes are worth it. You will get full and have leftovers. They had a jazz band play and they were great. Would absolutely come here again for date night.

Definitely a hidden gem!It's not often the hotel restaurant/bar is that great, but Dukes was awesome. Great food, drinks, service, and portions.
Hands down, the best steak there is in the state of VT.I have tried a great majority of their menu items and the one-thing that is certain with their chef is consistency. The food tastes perfect every time. I can never have enough of the brussels sprouts.
This is a definite pub-like atmosphere. Wasn't exactly what we were looking for but the place was bright and very clean looking. We are in a separate room from the bar, and it was not full by any means. Ours was a party of 9, so we couldn't get in just anywhere early...6-6:15pm. The food was good and had $$ for an indication of the pricing. We had 3 children with us, and they could accommodate them with a children's menu - so that was nice.

What wonderful Thanksgiving day with the worst customer service, I asked for chicken wings with two different flavors but unfortunately was denied due to a funny excuse, service was extremely slow in fact I had to get up in order to get their attention! The manager was not too friendly as well the waitress. The smile was frozen and winter is not even here yet!

I was looking forward to eating here out of the shear convenience because my lodging was in the same building. I stood waiting for a host for 10 minutes. No one came to help me, but at least 4 employees made eye contact. When I was seated, I waited another 15 minutes for my server to bring me a menu. I ordered right away. It took another 25 minutes for my food to arrive. My server never came back. He passed my table several times without looking in my direction. I had to ask repeatedly for a refill and check. By the time I left I had been there almost 2 hours. There was one person in my party. I'm very aware of businesses being understaffed and servers not earning a living wage. I was kind and patient, and this was ridiculous.

I had the special of Grilled New Zealand beef on the evening of Saturday September 16, 2023 and it was absolutely THE WORST meal I've ever had at this restaurant. The previous 2 times I have had filet mignon steaks at Duke's and they were so good I have mentioned to people that this place makes the best steaks in town. Then on Sept 16 I ordered this New Zealand steak special and I was expecting the usual perfection like their other steaks have been. What I got instead was totally too salted meat, below my medium rare cooked level recommendation that it bled on the plate into the school cafeteria style gravy that was slopped all over carelessly on the disgusting meat with equally yuck potatoes. My grandmother was my guest with me and she had the same exact meal and I was so embarrassed for her when these plates came out to our table. I had spoken to her earlier that day of how good the food is at Duke's and this entire meal was the opposite of good. What happened!!?? And I had to pay about $130 for this inexcusable inedible food, plus our salads we had to start with were both put in bowls that were too small leading salad leaves and veggies to spill out on the table. I will never go to Duke's Public House again, and they have now lost the status of best steaks in Burlington they used to have in my eyes. For shame.
