    This was our first time visiting Duke’s and we had an excellent evening night out. Although it was busy on Mother’s Day, the staff was professional and prompt. The food was good along with the salad bar, and the hula pie was a nice touch at the end. Thank you!

    First time at this particular Duke's and I wasn't impressed. The buffet food was cold and overcooked so I didn't go back for more. Definitely overpriced. The only positive was the view. Don't recommend at all!

    We have been eating at Duke's a couple of times a year for the past 15 years and tonight I was disappointed with the food. I had the Prime Rib. Ordered it medium rare and it was medium at best. Much more fat than normal. The asparagus was very hard. My wife had their fresh fish and her portion was much smaller than previous. Waiter, Eric was very good.
