This place is absolutely amazing! You can never go wrong with stopping by. Food is amazing. Serves is incredible. The staff here is friendly. It's a vibe. They will be singing. Joking with the customers. Definitely make you feel like family or the red headed step child. Either way it's a great time. They might bust out in karaoke. The high notes needs some work but they're definitely improving. You'll get two types of music. You'll get classic rock, alternative upfront and Los Bukis in the kitchen. It's nothing but primo love here. The beer stays the cold. The door is constantly swinging. Families coming in by the waves. Makes me feel like I'm back in 2005 with a head full of hair. This is a must stop. Get a pedi from nail laundry and wash it down with a cold beer. Come on into Dukes where they'll make you feel like more than welcomed! read more

After 12 years in this spot, I finally decided to stop in for a visit. This used to be a Beach Hut Deli and that was the last time I was there. Wanted lunch somewhere new. I wasn't disappointed. Aubrey was very friendly. It is almost like a small bar with food. Lots of choices of craft beers and the Huckleberry cider is tasty. I had the Turkey burger. The size is very generous, I couldn't manage to finish. There's three tvs and Aubrey says some come to watch the games, but it isn't a huge place, fyi. I totally enjoyed my food and my cider which you can get in a half pint size! read more

This place is great for what it is! Sometimes the service is great, other times it's terrible. The food is decent but isn't anything that I crave - I've tried the fries, chicken strips, sliders, chicken quesadilla, and chicken sandwich. We rarely ever sit inside, their outside patio is great. There are tons of tables and it's shaded so perfect for summer. It can get really busy on Fridays after 5pm, but most other nights aren't too busy. read more

Wow! Everything here is amazing. There are many beers from all over. The food is bar food (to include burgers) but the burger was over the top yummy. To top it off, the service was excellent. You will not be disappointed. read more

We went back to see if the hot pastrami sandwich was as good as I remembered. Oh, yeah. My husband had it, too, and pronounced it to be "amazing!" He also commented on how good the rye bread is (it is great). Excellent beer selection. The staff is very welcoming and the kitchen is fast. It's a comfortable experience. Plenty of screens to watch sports. Lots of beer paraphernalia. We really like this place. You will, too. read more

A great little place to get a beer and burger. There were plenty of TVs in the bar area to watch the games. The whole place is decorated with brewery decor. Each restroom was single stall. The patio had multiple different table options with plenty of seating. The patio is dog friendly. There was nobody else there when we went so service was quick! Everything was great, prices for food just seemed a little steep at $16 for 3 tacos. read more

This shop has become our top burger spot in town and we have been here about 6 times in the last few years. The menu is simple, and straight to the point, and they cook the burgers fresh to order. Also, when we order a burger cooked to medium, that's how it is cooked every single time. The consistency of the burger cook is exceptional, and this is where they shine. I know exactly what to expect when I come here, and I know my burger will be cooked correctly. I LOVE finding that level of care and consistency and that's something that brings me back through the doors on the regular. I love the buffalo wings so much! Crispy, crunchy, messy, saucy, goodness that leaves my fingers messy and covered in vinegary spiciness. More than anything, I like the Cheers vibe they have. Regulars come in and chat with the servers and bartenders, laughing, smiling, watching sports, drinking beers, and talking trash. It's such a wonderful feeling when you walk through the doors. Service is always very good, and, they get really busy at times. I would suggest being patient because it's totally worth it. read more

Not sure if this place has changed owners or not but the service has gone to shit. The lady and the stoner are not good at all... Went in tonight, got handed a menu as we walked in and then ignored. Staff was too busy chit chatting hanging out. Ended up walking out after about 10 minutes of sitting there looking at the staff, waiting for anyone to greet us, get drinks, anything... The guy with the tattoos and backwards cap used to kill it but we haven't seen him lately. read more

You wanna go when Zach/k is there! Good food, good beer. Wings were great. Fries were perfect.

Delicious food from the great chef (we got burger, pastrami sandwich, and buffalo wings). Awesome customer service -- Zach rocks. So does the pop punk 2000s playlist. Overall great vibes. Plan to come back regularly. read more

I love this place! The food is amazing and has great customer service. I love the Dukes burger! Its always cooked perfectly, juicy and the fries are just delicious. I also love their chicken salad. I highly recommend both! The Service is also great, they come check on you multiple times and are very quick to get you anything you need. read more

Was in the area for a baseball game and craved a beer and a burger. Went to Yelp and saw this place had good reviews so we gave it a whirl. Glad we did because it was delicious! The Duke Burger was so Good! It was fresh, served hot and flavorful. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich which was just as good. The fries were crispy with a special seasoning that complimented the burger. Beers were refreshing too! I tried the Num Num hazy ipa and it was so good! The service was really great too! I didn't catch the servers name but she was super attentive, friendly and offered a tasting of beers when we weren't sure what to get. I always appreciate servers going out of their way as it makes you feel more comfortable when dining. I would definitely come back again! read more

Nice fried appetizer food and beer! Service was pretty find out if good. You order at the bar and they bring me food.

This place feels like a cozy neighborhood bar when you walk in. There's a lot of seating packed into a small space to include the bar and some tables. I think there is some outside seating as well. It's pretty full from about 5-7pm when I've been. They have a full bar if you're not in the mood for beer or wine. The loaded fries and garlic fries have an oil added to them that are off putting at first and then become addicting the more you eat them. Their ranch is really good and the lemon drops are tasty. The bathrooms were clean as well. read more

Had a solid pastrami on rye, and the missus had a medium rare mishroom-swiss burger. The seasoned fries and side salad with blue cheese crumbles were up to snuff, and the tap list was adequately rounded. 90's alt rock tunes were slightly loud when we came in late afternoon, but the dinner manager turned them down to the right level once she came on shift. The thing that stands out, though, is the potato salad. Apparently they have a dedicated "potato salad lady" they contract with; it has good amounts of dill and mustard seed, with egg. Maybe sour cream and tarragon? It didn't taste mayonnaisey or pickley, though. Not sweet. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood. Tastes similar to the Hessian-style Kartoffelsalat at Kathrin's in Rocklin. read more

Had lunch and a beer with a friend on a Thursday and it was modestly busy. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and quick. Interior and patio seating is available, but the place is pretty small/cozy. Beer selection was very good, but on the day we visited, all the beer was foamy. According to our server, which may have been the owner, the foamy beer was due to cleaning lines and moving kegs. OK, but everything looked and tasted like hazy beer with too much foam. That said, I would have discounted the beer until it was clear. Food is pub style with mostly burgers and sandwiches. I went old school with a Patti Melt with a side of potato salad, and both were excellent. Overall it is a great local tap room with food. The only reason for not giving four stars was the beer experience. read more

Came in on a late Sunday afternoon and it was slow thankfully so we were served quickly! I really like that their patio is dog friendly and spacious, my pup had a great time getting out of the house! I got the Chicken Sandwich and it was mouthwatering good! So saucy and flavorful! My friend got the Brisket Burger with loaded fries and he very much enjoyed those as well! Service was quick and attentive, which we greatly appreciated since we were starving! Definitely looking forward to coming back! Thank you for an amazing first time experience! read more

Duke's fills a great need in the area for good burgers in a relaxed environment. The back patio is great for large groups (and kids can run around on the lawn on the side). I love the turkey burger (elevated with the addition of raw jalapenos!) and the chicken sandwich. The fries are top notch too! They've got a good selection of beers on tap and other libations. read more

Great place for burgers and beers after work! Their staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere, while a little divey/unsuspecting, it's perfect for a casual outing. There's a great patio out back--make sure to check it out if the weather is nice. Plenty of tables and good for groups. Their fries are perfectly seasoned and crispy, burger generously full, and sandwiches nice and moist. They have a ton of beers on tap and some ciders too. TLDR; solid choice for casual burgers and beer. read more

This place was a great place to come for our first time. The food was delicious, I got the bacon cheeseburger and fries. The burger was so juicy it was like a damn brisket. The service was awesome and our server Zach, was extremely funny and he was really cool to have as a server. The whole place was sticker bombed and the Ambience was really nice. If you are in the area you should come here read more

Possibly the best restaurant hamburger I've ever had. Definitely in my top five, but it's hard to make comparisons there because my top five happened over a 40+ year time span. Not cheap though, but it wouldn't exactly be cheap to reproduce this at home either, then once you factor in the time and work (grinding your own meat, making your own buns, etc), well even at this price point it's a pretty good deal. Whether homemade or restaurant bought, saving money just isn't on the agenda at this level... read more

Not fancy, but a perfect neighborhood gem!! Great beers on tap! Tasty burgers! The best sweet potato fries around in my book and my hubs likes their garlic fries. We were in on Memorial Day and it looked like only one guy was serving all tables inside and out. He did a great job and we were never led wondering where he was. I had the Duke's Burger and hubs had the Brisket burgers. Both were tasty and cooked as ordered! Will definitely be back, although probably not as frequently as I would like!! read more

Came for a drink, stayed because Zach the bartender single-handedly restored my faith in pub service. Great pours, lightning-fast service, and the kind of charm that makes you forget how many rounds you've ordered. He was funny, kind, and somehow everywhere at once--like a hospitality wizard with a bar towel. Honestly, if Zach ever leaves, this place should consider closing for "emotional damages." Will 100% be back, mostly for Zach. Cheers read more

The food was very good. We had a sandwich and a salad. The service was great. You can sit indoors or out doors. I would definitely return.

Delicious food and cold beer make this place a great place for work lunch. Service is nice and friendly !

~$18 for a burger, it better be good! Unfortunately, I don't think it was worth the price. Garlic aioli sauce was the key flavor, but there wasn't enough of it. Garlic fries were meh, not worth the $2 upgrade. And they were different than prior pictures I saw..they did not change for the better. Inside is small. Mostly bar and high top seating, only two regular tables (for up to 8 people). It was super cold inside, AC blasting on a cool day. Service was fine. Looked like there was one guy working the front and one guy cooking. Didn't come around to check on us til we were done, so could've been better especially since there was only one other customer in there. On the corner of the strip of businesses so it was easier to spot and there was plenty of parking in the lot. Overall, 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. I was underwhelmed. Food looks really good, but wasn't worth ~$80 for 3 burgers & a kids meal. Also, for the kids meals they should consider using a different fruit other than grapes or cutting them up (which I think is more work than it's worth for them). Young children shouldn't eat whole grapes. We had to vigilantly watch our child to make sure she didn't choke on them. I doubt I'll be back. read more

I ordered the Duke's burger and added Pastrami. The burger was incredible and the amount of pastrami they added was significant, but wow! $7 to add that pastrami. That's rough. Between that, my gf's patty melt just being ok, and my beer being$9... 4 stars. read more

Been here a few times, never been the same but consistently good. Consistency is key for a place people want to come back to over and over. And they have it down. I did is always clean and we always run into someone we know. This is very much a neighborhood jem. The service is usually quick, this can depend upon how busy it is but that is true everywhere. You got a bar, high tops, low tops. It is small'ish inside but there is a patio too. I have been here with groups of 6+. The beer selection it solid with regular rotation. Heavy on the IPAs but always a few dark beers and sometimes a Belgian or two. If beer isn't your thing there is a full bar. The old fashioned is great here. The burgers are my go to at Duke's. The 1/2 lbs brisket burger make for a cheat day you will not regret. Fries 4 ways or a side salad are available. Honestly I haven't got past the burger section on the menu. I am sure that other stuff is good too... Super casual here at Duke's. read more

Dukes Plates & Pints - You could be here... - Salad Near Me - Sacramento, California

05.28.21 Decided to celebrate National Hamburger Day with an office lunch outing to Duke's. Knowing the boss is always on the search for a great burger, Hubs has been touting this place as one of his favorites in town and for quite some time had been trying to get my boss to check it out. We all met up at 1p on a Friday and boy o boy, was that parking lot packed!!! Located in the Arden Towne Center shopping area, it's basically next door to the Mas Taco and near the Golden 1 branch. I ended up parking in front of the Starbucks. By the time we left, just before 3p, the lot wasn't quite as busy but spots were still a bit scarce. Now that COVID destro are loosening up, signs indicated face masks were encouraged but not required (yay!). Inside were several tables, some high, some kinda boothy, and some against the back wall. They also had a very nice covered patio with several tables for groups of 4-6ish, even a couple low picnic tables. This is where we opted to enjoy our meal since inside was a bit loud with the music and we wanted to have (& hear) nice conversation. We were greeted promptly and asked for drink orders. They have an extensive beer menu and a select menu of cocktails on special. Since we were there for lunch, no adult beverages were had this time. They have quite the selection of burgers and all 4 of us ordered something different. My garlic fries were REALLY good, as was my smoked Gouda burger....altho it was slightly over cooked from my request of medium (there wasn't any pink!), it was still juicy. In fact, Hub's brisket burger, ordered to medium-well cooking, came out more to my liking with more pink in it. Boss has The Duke burger, medium-rare, with a side salad. He really enjoyed everything, altho I felt the burger looked slightly undercooked IMO, but other than that it looked yum! Finally, my GF went with the sliders, and she thought they were a bit dry & overcooked. Probably cuz they're so tiny. But she said if she returned she's order a regular burger. All-in-all, this place had good food & a nice patio seating area. Service was good too. My only complaint is the inconsistent cooking of the burgers and....what's up with not having ranch? I asked for some to dip my garlic fries but said they have a house made dill, which I declined since I'm not a dill fan. But sure, I would come back. read more

I only ordered beer so this review is off beer, service and experience. Beer was good. I recommend the two towns cider. They have variety of beers including several different IPAs. Place is small but I like they have a back patio which is nice. Didn't use the bathroom so can't speak on that. Three stars for service and the fact they have games but they do not let their customers use them anymore. They should just move them out of customers view then if can't be used tbh. read more

Top 3 best burgers in Sacramento, hands down!! It's a bar environment but family friendly. Makes young parents still feel hip.

I have been to Duke's a couple of times PYE - Pre Yelp Elite and have always enjoyed coming here. Their food is fresh and always tastes great! My family and I stopped in for dinner on Thursday before my daughter's swim class and sat outside. No seating inside at this time. You can also order to go as well! We ordered the Cobb Salad (added blue cheese crumbles), Duke Burger with Garlic Fries and the kid's Mini Burger with Fries. Everything was great! I took notice of how crunchy and fresh the lettuce was in the salad and how tasty their fries were. My daughter enjoyed her mini burger even if she only ate the meat. Staff was friendly, quick and attentive! Our dining experience was enjoyable minus the kids that kept running around and one of them even came over and poked me! Where are your parents? 6 feet people - I don't care how small you are! Anyways, check out Duke's if you haven't yet - you won't be disappointed! read more

Absolutely would recommend this place to anyone if they're looking for a hidden gem. I have been living so close to this place and never trying it. Had a friend tell me it was good and I just didn't try it at all. One day my husband and I decided to try the different food places in the plaza and decided on dukes. Woooowww. Why did we wait so long?! The burger was cooked exactly how we asked for it. They were juicy but not messy and just so flavorful. Did I also mention they were MASSIVE too?! I could barely eat half!! PLUS SIDES?! It was so bad to eat but really could not stop. They have drinks on tap, bottles, you name it they have it. And the service, wow were they attentive to us! I'm sure they could tell we had never been here and really helped us pick which drinks we might like, and made sure we liked them. I really cannot wait to come here again!! read more

Acceptable wines and some nice whiskey choices. read more
