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.

The food was outstanding and considering the fact that the restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night the service was very good. There was live music and we were far enough away from it that the noise level was okay and we could still hold a conversation. The highlight of the meal was definitely the food!

My family and I celebrated my belated birthday (Christmas baby) and had an amazing dinner celebration. The food was not your typical fare and all prepared to perfection. In particular, the schnitzel was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (as it should be). The dessert was also a highlight of the meal. Highly recommend, but be prepared for the large portion sizes. We went home with alot of leftovers.

Nice birthday dinner! Ribs were a great value!!! Service was slow and nobody was in the restaurant at 4:00. Drinks expensive…don’t charge $1.00 for olives in a martini. Nice birthday dessert. $300 for 7 people.

Very delicious Eastern European foods. Kugulis was delicious as well as Pelmeni, potato pancakes and saurkraut soup. Sausages were a little dry from being over cooked but eaten with the saurkraut was the way to go.

My wife 44th Birthday dinner. She is from Lithuania and requested to dine here coming from Kenosha WI. On the open table app I requested flowers and shared about the birthday celebration, neither happened. Our Table was next to sever station and entertainment. Server Carolina was very nice. We were in no hurry. We ordered Chacuterie board as appetizer and placed dinner order at the same time. Appetizer arrived, then the entrees less than 5 mins later. No time to enjoy appetizer. Drinks from bar took quite a while. We enjoyed entertainment. The food will make us return.

Food was excellent. Our service was a little slow and not very attentive. Other servers seemed to be constantly checking on their customers, so to be fair, she may have been new. Plus they had a private party going on. But overall, the food is great. Highly recommend.

As someone who comes here a lot, tonight left much to be desired. Our food orders (all four in the party) were all incorrect multiple times, and we never even had a chance to order drinks or get a refill of water. It was was so loud and for some reason all the lights were off? I didn’t enjoy a woman tripping into the back of my head while I tried to eat. Also, if your clientele includes heavy smokers, maybe move the smoking area away from the front door so your guests don’t have to smell cigarette smoke through a meal. Extremely disappointing.

Very good place for Ukrainian dishes. Borscht was excellent. Cabbage rolls like my Mother's. Loved the entertainment - a father and daughter (15), who sang beyond her years. Loved the accordian.

I had the Pork Shashlik and it was excellent, but hard to get off the skewer, especially when it was hot. It would have been helpful if the server presented it and then offered to take it off the skewer. If I have it again, I’ll ask that it be taken off the skewer before it’s brought out. There was an entertainer who started around 7pm and we found it difficult to talk while he was performing so moved outside when we were finished eating.

The food was excellent as usual. Poor waitress had many tables to tend to including large parties. Just be careful and read your check. We were charged a 3.50% credit card surcharge when we paid cash. This also happened to another person at our table who asked for a separate check. We did request for this to be removed and it was.
