Grand Dukes Restaurant serves unique and comforting Lithuanian and eastern European cuisine in its impressive and rustic eatery. Starters such as the Lithuanian potato nachos topped with beer cheese sauce, bacon and jalapenos and the potato pancakes with sour cream and applesauce, are perfect introductions to Dukes' style of cuisine. Some of Grand Dukes Restaurant's house specialties include the pierogi dumplings with potato and onions topped with a sour cream bacon sauce, the crispy chicken Kiev filled with garlic butter and the salmon in envelope with sliced potatoes, leeks, and creamy dill sauce. Sandwiches, such as the veal wiener schnitzel with Swiss cheese on brioche, the classic Rueben and the breaded pork cutlet belly buster sandwich with garlic sauce, are customer favorites and are ideal with a European beer. Grand Dukes Restaurant also hosts live music events every Friday and Saturday, which perfectly complements the already-merry atmosphere.

First time dining there. The old place that was there was called Bohemian Garden it was 10X better. The Deli in Lemont by my house is 10X better! This place is more a bar than a restaurant. If you drink enough it might start tasting better after awhile. But we didnt go there to drink just for good food which this was not. The polish plate ws awful the sausage was dry like sawdust and flavorless. The burgers look like hockey pucks from GFS or Costco, which would be fine if they werent $17 for a bad burger. If you go there with friends have a few drinks and have a good time the food might not be judge as well, like I said this is a bar not a high end restaurant. I would not return ever, it was not a good experience. service was good from actually an Asian waitress, and BTW I spoke to one of the chefs he was spanish. He came out I sat right by the kitchen. i didnt know whether to laugh or cry when I saw the bill, just throwing money away.

We have been here before and enjoyed the food and music but usually the service is bad and you find a lot of rude people dining here. Last night was such a mess, a “band” was warming up for their “concert” so on top of the noise pollution from that there were kids with their iPads on full blast playing games and watching movies while the “adults” took turns going outside to smoke and ignored them entirely. Par usual, we had to keep hunting for the waitress (also probably outside smoking). The food is good but basically every other aspect of this experience was trash. We won’t be returning.

Service food and ambience were five stars. We liked it very much. Mostly because the menu was full of very interesting offerings that you don’t see anywhere else. Portions are very generous. I highly recommend it.

We love this place (we were big fans and supporters at the old and new locations!). Food is great and varies. Always was good service. Last night the service was really bad: the waitress was extremely slow, we had to go and find her three (3!!!) times. Several menu items were not available, including a beer and this create inconvenience- we all had to wait more than 25 minutes when she brings another type of beer to one of the guest (obviously, we were waiting with our drinks and appetizers). Then I had to walk to the host (very nice and helpful young lady) twice and ask her help to find our waitress to bring us a dessert menu and then to bring us a check. Very disappointed dinner with our international friends, especially we advertise this usually great restaurant for their food and service…

I visisted the restaurant a few months ago and rated it with 5. However, it seems like i was at a different place. Somehow the consistency was not there, the food was average, the service was slow, the restaurant was empty.

Our group of nine had a great time. The food was great and service was helpful and timely. The evening we were there, it was a little loud and did not allow easy conversation (it seemed like two or three different types of music were bleeding from one area to another). Probably just the evening we were there. No hesitation in recommending the place to others.

The food was very good. My wife had the Lithuanian Combo and thoroughly enjoyed all the individual items while I went with the pork schnitzel and while a bit more done than I would have preferred it was still very good. We tried the Kiev cake and were astonished at the size of the portion and did enjoy the dessert.

We heard about Grand Dukes awhile ago and I’m sorry we couldn’t have dined there sooner! The food was amazing. I had cabbage rolls which brought me back to how my Popee (Grandpa) made them. My husband had the rabbit stew and found it so delicious. We will definitely be back

The four of us not only received great service and great meals, but to our delight and surprise, we enjoyed great live music! The musician and singer entertained with an amazing variety of songs and we enjoyed each one. The food we ordered was beyond delicious. My liver dumpling soup rivaled my mother's homemade liver dumpling soup. The Kugelis was melt in your mouth yummy and the pork schnitzel was wonderful. Lots of choices on the menu - it was hard to decide what to get. A great girls night out and we will be back!!

Food was really wonderful! Prices are fair for the portion size. Noise level gets a bit loud after 6:30 as they have several party rooms and live music in the main dining room. Try to sit farther away from the bar/stage area if you want to have a conversation at your table. Waitress was probability the most disappointing part of the evening. She was having a bad day and it really showed. Otherwise we will be back for dinner but will be requesting a different table location.

We had so much delicious food at Duke’s. Unfortunately, it was so very loud that we could not even talk to each other at the table. It was good music however, it was at eardrum bursting concert volume. We got out of there asap which was a shame as we would have stayed for dessert and after dinner drinks if it were not so loud.

Food was delicious and service was nice. We found a good restaurant and will go there again. We had dinner on Friday night and there was live music played on a stage. We liked it but I don’t know other people’s preferences. That’s why I selected Noise Level 2.
