“ I am so glad that I stopped in to try out this town staple! The only reason I stopped is because I know that anytime you see a lot of union County sheriffs at one establishment you could safely assume that the food there is really good! And thank goodness I was paying attention... I came in and was told that they are known for their burgers... And I know why now. This is the best burger that I have had at a family owned joint. My favorite burger comes from Jack-in-the-Box... This burger was better than a jack in the box burger. Now that is saying something! That is saying something for sure... I cannot wait until the next time I’m in the area and have some friends with me so I can show off this total gem of a place. The people inside are extremely friendly and funny... And they seem to have a really good connection with the community... Speaking of the community. This food spot is a local staple! You must come here and try out their burgers! ”

“ If you're looking for good burgers and fresh sandwiches, fresh french fries and onion rings. Dukes is the place to go. Their homemade ranch dressing is perfect for dipping your onion rings. I don't like that they changed their chilli recipe, but my hot dog was still good. ”
“ Duke’s Grill is a classic! Great burgers, crispy fries, and fast, friendly service. Always hits the spot. Highly recommend! ”
“ I am amazed that it was so crowded, and yet food ca me way faster than I thought it was. I was floored that there was only one person at the grill, and he's a burger making machine. The staff and their service were great. The food was extremely good, and the burgers' patties are the size that burgers sound be. Thank you for giving my son and I a great experience, just the 2 of us without phone calls,no texts, and no distraction. Just a boy sitting down with dad, enjoying a great meal. The only surprise of the experience is when we went to put some salt on the fries. And man, does that salt shaker work well! Thanks again for the food and the memories. ”
“ Slam dunk, knocked out of the park, gooooooaaaaal kind of burger spot. It's been around longer than most of us, and it shows by the neighborhood vibes. The burgers, fries and onion rings are flat out awesome. Super friendly staff and family owned. Give it a try. We were sold after one meal, we'll be back continuously. ”
