Cool...I'm already the Duke of Duke's -- that was too easy ;)
Scott K.

*Duke's is Finally Back* Due to an unfortunate interior fire last year, Duke's was forced to temporarily close. Now that the dust has finally settled and the mini mart has been remodeled, Duke's reopened today on the first day of fall. Stoped by today to say hey and to make sure they're still going to have the rotisserie chicken burritos because they're pretty pretty pretty good. Happy Duke's is back and better than before. I know I'm not just speaking (writing) just for myself, but for my wife too... And others in the neighborhood...and all the construction workers, nurses and medical office personnel who rely on coming here often, during breaks and lunch breaks...and all the people in their cars, passing by on 111 & Frank Sinatra, who need their quick-fix. Welcome back Duke's Team and Duke & Gary...you've all been missed.

Why in Sam Hill haven't I been to this little gem? A market and deli....yum. They have some good sandwiches and Mexican food. I've tried the Dinah shore sandwich & am looking to come back and try their Mexican menu....veggie tacos here I come.

While my friend was at the dentist I discovered this little gem of a grocery/deli..I ordered the chicken burrito. It far exceeded my expectations . It was soo delicious. They have a great menu. The chili relleno looked delicious. I would definitely go back again.

We went to Duke's today for lunch because I had heard so many people tell me about these sandwiches. It was very busy, with a steady stream of customers in the store shopping for mini mart items as well as lining up at the deli for sandwiches, burritos and a lot of other items on the menu. Everything look delicious! I chose the Gamacho because that is the one that I have heard about the most... and boy it did NOT disappoint. They start with a toasted Mexican bun with ham with provolone cheese in the center and crisp bacon on top, then add fresh avocado, pickled jalapeños, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. It was probably the best deli sandwich I have ever had. The service was quick and friendly, and Duke was there and was very nice and welcoming to the customers. This place is a MUST and I will be coming back regularly!

This spot that was featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, and it definitely lives up to the…read morereputation. Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

We had a negative experience here last year, concerning the difference between British Kippers and…read moreDeli Kippers. Since we were in the area for an hour or so, we gave it another go. Service was excellent. Seated immediately and ordering minutes later. Got extra cream cheese on request and our coffees were diligently refilled. The main attraction was the pastrami sandwich. Totally to my wife's taste, extremely lean and stacked high. She had to take half home. I tried an omelette with corned beef and loved it. The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.

This original Sherman's deli location has been open since 1963 and is a landmark in the desert. I…read moregrew up coming to the desert from San Diego often and my family and I would always stop here for our breakfast or occasional dinner, although we would go to the Palm Desert location given that we had a place in Indian Wells. This past weekend, I stopped in town for a long weekend to get away from work and of course had to stop in to Sherman's for a great breakfast. Inside is very large and can host many different sized groups. One of the things I love the most is all the cakes on display. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. There's also a large free parking lot attached on the side otherwise free street parking is also easy to find. Just like most delis, the menu here is gigantic. There are plenty of great options. For this breakfast, I chose the Cinnamon Roll to start and will say I was not a very big fan of it. It was giant, but it almost tasted more like dense cake and not the gooey Cinnabon type of roll. I would not recommend that. However, the Chili Cheese Omelette I got was great and that I would highly recommend. I've also had many of their sandwiches before and would recommend the Reuben especially. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the desert.

It was close to end of day so I was quick to browse the offerings before placing my sandwich order. Ended up getting a Caprese and Parma on focaccia. The staff seemed preoccupied with Cleaning but did their best to get my sandwich order out fast. I've heard nothing but good things about this place but this is my first time. I asked the lady behind the counter for a popular favorite recommendation and she seemed confused and just said everything was good. Two sandwiches around $40 so I was hoping for something great. Unfortunately we agreed that the taste was good, but nothing amazing and probably not what we were expecting for the price. Everything fell just a little bit flat. It wasn't bad but it wasn't memorable either. I ended up drizzling balsamic vinegar on the Caprese at home since they only put olive oil and a little bit of pesto on the bread and the whole thing just felt lacking ever so slightly. The shop itself was clean and well kept and had a lot to offer so I still recommend stopping by and browsing for Italian goodies. Just not my favorite sandwich spot. Maybe we will try something else another day or just stick to the pasta!

I really liked everything we ordered, and it's clear they use high-quality, authentic ingredients…read more We got the Parma sandwich and it was super delicious. However, the ordering process on a busy Saturday was a total mess. Because you order at the counter and there is no clear line system, it was a complete free-for-all with people cutting in front of each other. It was very disorganized and a bit of a headache to navigate the crowd. Despite the chaotic atmosphere, the food itself is definitely worth it. I just wish they had a better way to manage the queue during the weekend rush!

Portions are generous, food is fresh, Jewish specialties are properly prepared and taste great. The staff is very friendly, attentive and always accommodating to special requests. They did a remodel and moved the bakery to the other side of the space. In its place is a full service bar area. Noise level from the bar area typically isnt an issue for the adjacent dining area, but during some TV sports events, patrons in the bar can get very noisy and it is disruptive to diners. I only experienced this during dinner hour on a Sunday. Despite the bar area topic, I still highly recommend a visit here.

I didn't want to stop but apparently, my family forgot how slow it was the day before (when we didn't have a rush for anything) - but definitely saw it the 2nd day. It is clean and spacious. Lots to look at decoration wise. The customer service was very nice. We were greeted immediately upon entering and said goodbye to while leaving. We all tried something. Different both days, but within the breakfast realm. And they do have a lot of delicious treats we bought both days to share. I'd definitely recommend here, just know you'll be there for a bit.
