(2) 6-piece wing dinners
Tiffany H.

I've only been here a handful of times but NEVER AGAIN. What's crazy is that this is a lot of folks go to spot for fast, greasy, relatively inexpensive and somewhat tasty food in the south suburbs. Today, the cashier got my order wrong and overcharged me after I clearly and directly stated what I wanted multiple times. She then proceeded to place an inaccurate order and was nonchalant when I corrected her and barely apologized. The only reason why I even came was for garlic fries, and that was the one thing they failed to provide. To my surprise, not only had I not received any garlic on the fries but the wings were tiny and a bit over cooked. The manager however did give me a free drink (which I through out) because I was skeptical. Perhaps the staff members were tired and/or having a bad day. At least that would be a reasonable excuse for such inadequate service. No me gusta! I will not be returning.

Garlic butter fries
Catisha T.

The service was quick and the food was really good. I prefer a corn beef sub and the garlic butter fries and there were both delicious! The order of fries is so large that you can share with someone else. I'll defiantly come back again!

UPDATE 6/27/13 BACK OPEN AGAIN -- SAME GREAT OLE....COME ON DOWN…read more UPDATE: Freeh's has been closed since first week in May -- much to the dismay of their regulars. this week (May 16?) a sign was added saying "reopening soon" all blinds are drawn, and word on the street is that the owner is deciding whether to carry on or not....bar can't be resold without bringing it up to code, (handicapped accessible) so we can only hope the owner feels the love and re-opens the dive doors! Love the burgers (chips, no fries) at this little hole-in-the-wall. Steps from the metra electric, it's the perfect meeting (or dropping off point) when friends from chicago brave a ride to the south burbs. Good juke box, good bartenders (who tend to be there whether it's their shift or not) , pint draft beers and made-to-order burgers in a basket are their calling cards. (The kitchen hours just changed, with a cut off of 8:00 p.m., i believe during the week.) If you remember the first Freeh's you are officially old, as this one's been there for years and years and YEARS. It's in a charming little old downtown (my chicago friend just moons after the eternally for sale old bank building next door which wold make an uber-cute loft space if anyone that hip wanted to live down here (and fight for the zoning variance that would require.) anyway, this is a dependable, nothing fancy, diverse crowd-drawing neighborhood joint where you can't go wrong. They watch the usual sports -- but if there are no sports on anything goes -- including Stooge-a-palooza and Son of Svenghoulie, so be warned. Only downer - they are closed on Sundays unless the Bears play.

The catfish is incredibly good. My 99 year old mother made this a staple of her diet on Fridays.read more

I'm kinda new to the Illinois area so this is my first time at Dukes. I wasn't sure what to order…read morebut I saw chicken wings I don't care where I go that's always my choice. So I ordered 10 lemon pepper and they were really tasty I was shocked enough lemon pepper seasoning to be called lee'mon pepper wings. I will definitely be back to try the other flavors. I also ordered the Italian beef sammich wit mozzarella and peppers it's a pretty hefty amount of meat for 1 I think it's large enough for 2 servings or 2 people. Thee only complaint is I would like to see the beef more savory and salted that's all. The service was pretty fast it was only one person working so taking orders and making food-great and professional. Duke's is inside a fuel station and the food court is separate from the convenience store but was very clean and spacious if you wanted to sit and eat. I recommend giving it a try. I'm definitely going back...now the photos

Dear Management/Customer Service Team…read more I am writing to formally complain about a horrible experience I had at your establishment today. I placed an order totaling $13.00, which included chicken wings and fried mushrooms. I specifically requested that my wings be cooked for an extra six minutes. Despite this request, the chicken was served to me undercooked, with pink meat and blood running out. When I brought this to the cashier's attention, she informed me that they only cook wings for six minutes total. As someone who cooks regularly, I know that raw chicken cannot be safely or properly cooked in that timeframe; it requires much longer in hot oil to be done. Additionally, I asked the cashier if the wings were regular-sized, and she assured me they were. However, they were outrageously large, whereas I prefer standard, traditional wings. To make matters worse, while I was waiting for a reorder of the wings, the fried mushrooms I had started eating
