Fantastic food & excellent quality ! Friendly Family owned business !!!! Very quaint restaurant !!!!!

Best chili around and breakfast food is the best love them just eat there this morning love them

Excellent food and fantastic customer service. I have been coming here for 20+ years and it's a neighborhood gem

If local diners could be as good as this one, I would never make breakfast ever again! The food here is delicious - so delicious in fact, that I have been at least a dozen times now and never stopped inhaling my food to take a decent photo to post here on Yelp. The staff are extremely friendly, the food is always deliciously hot and made to order, and the coffee is continuously refilled. The prices are unbeatable and I have never once had to wait for a table on the weekends (holiday weekends included). I absolutely love it here and have to stop myself from eating here every weekend. Great food - give it a go because you will NOT be disappointed! read more

The ultimate breakfast is awaiting you and at a great price! A cozy place which the comforts of home hidden in the jewel of Olivehurst!

This place is usually pretty great. Once in a blue moon service isn't all that. But we are in titled to have a bad day. Food is good too.

We visited the area for a concert at the amphitheater. Not wanting the hotel breakfast, Yelp gave us choices and we ventured out here to Duke's. It's busy! This family-owned place puts out great food at low prices. They promise "fast," but it was 40 minutes from seating to eating. That plus the diner atmosphere with filthy plants and OLD, well-used menus loses them a star. That said, we LOVED this place. The food was amazing. My wife had the Fireman's Special: hashbrowns with peppers and onions covered in a sausage gravy. She ordered a side of bacon. Honestly, the sausage gravy thing isn't for me, but I tasted it. Dang! It's something special! I had the huevos rancheros. It's actually deconstructed, as the tortillas come on a separate plate. The dish was more like hashbrowns and eggs covered in chili. Now the chili is worth coming for just on its own. So the whole dish came together really well. Cons: The service is slow but wonderfully personable and friendly. The decor is old, torn up, and neglected. The hashbrowns are under-seasoned, surprising for a diner. But I like erring on the side of my needing to add salt vs coming away parched and bloated from too much. Pros: Everything else!!! Seriously, this is a great little dive diner. GET THE CHILI!!! I'm not even a huge chili fan, but this family recipe is the pride of Duke's for good reason. Note to management: I left a 30% tip because your prices are ridiculously low. You could increase everything (except the coffee) by 20%, invest in the restaurant space and staffing, and be more profitable without the customer feeling the pinch. You've got something special. Show it off!!! read more

The food is EXCELLENT and we look forward to go. With that being said, most of the waitresses seem like would much rather be doing anything else than else. read more

Awesome breakfast this morning! Great little find for us visiting the area. The staff were friendly and pleasant. They were very welcoming to outsider. Food was good and solid. Very much an old school place. read more

Been coming here for years. Community staple! Best biscuits and gravy around! Great family setting!

I did not like their biscuits and gravy . It mostly tasted like milk . The servers were very kind. Parking was also very limited .

I couldn't believe how good it was! I highly recommend this place. I will be returning soon. I had no idea chilli on a full mess would be delicious! read more

A last chance one-day road trip took me north a short way and through Olivehurst. After satisfying my urge for a bloody mary down the street, Yelp suggested I check out Duke's Diner for some morning grub. Technically, I suppose, it was almost lunch time. Breakfast is served all day and that's what I really wanted. This is definitely a locals place, tucked on a side road, some parking in front and more across the street in the gravel lot next to the small grocery. I love a diner counter. Duke's has specialties ... I chose the Mary Jane. A good size biscuit (in house, I believe) topped with crispy hash browns, loaded with country gravy, and then topped with Duke's chili. As if this wasn't enough of a healthy meal, I enhanced my breakfast by adding a egg, over medium - placed right on top. Biscuit, really good. Gravy, really good. Duke's chili, great. The combination of these really good to great parts and the crispy hash browns made this a hearty meal that carried me for a few hours. Not fancy, very diner, with friendly bustling staff. I doubt that I will (ever) be back in this area but if I was, I'd come back and dive into more lovely diner food. Oh ... coffee and this breakfast, after tax, $9.67 read more

This place is pretty good everything is tasty but it's average nothing special except the chili and that's the sole reason for my four star review if you come here buy the chili it's a must have menu item read more

Friendly spot to get breakfast or lunch, meet w friends over a good meal. Recommend the Biscuits and Gravy, Banana Pancakes, and the Mary Jane. The spaghetti special hits the spot if you are hungry-save room for and don't forget about desert. If Juan is cooking, order the Omelets, you won't regret it. Duke's award winning Chilli is in good hands with his daughter, Mary Jane. Try it it is good! The staff is hard working and the nicest bunch of folks you will meet. read more

It's still just ok food but the prices are really good. We use to go back a lot but not anymore

Had the coldest omelette of my life.. runny wet American cheese. Literally gross. Place came highly recommended, and perhaps we came on a bad morning (wasn't busy at all), but will likely give em a second chance. Hoping for a warm quality meal next time. read more

Excellent breakfast/lunch local diner! Be sure to check out their chili, you can add it to any plate. The Mary Jane breakfast is my favorite to order with fried eggs added to the top of biscuits, gravy, chili and hash browns...Yummy! read more

I've never seen this place not busy! 1. Never ending coffee, I love that fresh coffee is always offered and I'm never left wondering where my refill is. 2. Portions are VERY generous 3. Service is friendly 4. The food is good. Diner style which means it is just the right amount of greasy (yum!) read more

A true hidden gem, superb breakfast. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I haven't been to a place this great in years

This is old school deliciousness!! We walked in to a classic diner, including the most comfortable counter seating I have ever seen. We were greeted immediately by the friendly and very efficient and competent server. She was handling counter booths and tables. The menu has everything you would want for breakfast or lunch. You can even customize your omelet, just ask. The omelets we ordered were HUGE, along with an accompanying plateful of hash browns. The biscuits were yummy, ask for the gravy on the side as it is fairly thick and can smother the biscuit. Bacon was crisp and delusions. Service, food, menu and decor were all exactly what you want when you go to a diner to eat. Everyone there seemed happy, and many left with to go boxes. We should have but didn't. read more

My husband and I are frequent fliers at this diner. It's a small family diner off the beaten path. It's very comfortable and welcoming going there. They have crayons and coloring books for the kiddos. Our go to dish is the Duke's chili omelette, it is soooo good. Our eldest child loves the Belgian waffle with fruit topping. read more

Good old fashioned diner. Good service with friendly people Not fancy but enjoyable would go there again

I absolutely LOVE good breakfast! My husband and I got waffles and French toast delivered on a day when our children were with their grandparents and we wanted breakfast in bed without effort. The food (sides included) was filling, but considering we've had better from other local restaurants, this place was just average for me. read more

Awesome place to eat, very friendly staff and great food and prices. If you like home made chili it is really good here.

I love to try new places for breakfast on the weekends and was told to come check out Dukes in Olivehurst. Checked it out last Monday morning (day off for holiday yay). Walked in, nothing flashy, has the mom and pops diner look and feel to it. I sat at the bar (just me) with the regulars that come in and talk about the latest news. Single waitress running the diner along with the bar area (great service btw). Ordered the 2 egg special (2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, toast, country potatoes, and two biscuits with gravy), and no definitely could not eat all of it. I was surprised that the biscuits were very soft and the gravy has a light taste to it, nothing greasy. Overall, breakfast was great, service was great. Nice place to eat relax and have breakfast without the 30 minute wait and hassle of a million people in it. I was told to try the "Rachel" so hopefully thats a food special, more to come... read more

Duke's Diner - 2 Egg special - Diners Near Me - Olivehurst, California

My family and I have been going to Dukes Diner in my hometown ever since I was born. Although we typically go on the weekends, and it is usually busy, the wait times aren't too long. The waitresses are always patient and kind. I typically get the breakfast special with eggs, bacon, and hash browns. I try to get a side of biscuits and nicely drizzled gravy on top that is warm. read more

Service & breakfast very good. Plan to eat there again when passing through. First time customers.

Great food and customer service. We've been doing there regularly since we first visited. Consistently good food and service.

OMG!!! This is definitely breakfast/lunch spot whenever we are in this part of California. Huge Huge portions. It just kept coming at us. We ordered a lunch special and 2 breakfast meals. Huge portions at very reasonable portions. We shared it amongst 4 of us and still had some leftover! The server brought us a small dish of their famous award winning chili to go with the delicious biscuit and gravy. It was all so so good! The lunch special included a dessert. A biscuit with fresh raspberry coulis and a nice soft-serve sized amount of homemade whip cream! Sooooooo delicious! The servers were all awesome! read more

Good food for a fair price. Ordered the all meat omelette, crispy hash, biscuit and gravy. My buddy ordered the special scrambled, bacon, crispy hash, sour dough. He said he liked it and was pretty satisfied. My omelette was good but had that sliced cheese like kraft sliced on top which brought down the quality. The hash was good. Biscuit and gravy average good. The price makes it a four star, the service a five star, and the food a three star. But I can put up with bad service and higher price for AWESOME FOOD. So 3 stars is all I could give. Don't get me wrong. The food was good and worth going to eat because I want yo support the local restaurant and Yelp recommendations but I would probably just liked the breakfast special for $7 better. I recommend going if your driving by Olivehurst. read more

Been going here for years! Great atmosphere and food, definitely worth supporting local

This place has the best breakfast in Yuba County! Homemade biscuits and gravy are delicious! Great omelettes and hash browns too! Down home cooking at very reasonable prices! Stop by Duke's or have it delivered you won't be disappointed! read more

Duke's Diner - Ordered The Steak and Eggs it also came with potatoes and biscuits and gravy. $12 - Diners Near Me - Olivehurst, California

The food was so good!! Honestly I didn't have super high hopes considering it was in olivehurst, but I was so pleasantly surprised. My husband got the breakfast burrito and I got the Rachel's breakfast which was biscuits and gravy topped with chilli. It was super good. The restaurant was not very clean and the bench I was sitting on was kinda broken. If those things would have been better I would have given it a 5. read more

Wow! They can't even cook bacon. Sent it back three times and they kept coming back with only one side of the bacon cooked right and a list of excuses. I'm sure this is fine for people that don't know better but geez, raise your standards. Never going back there. read more
