Dukes....what happened? We have been coming here for years and remember the good meals and packed dining rooms. Our last visits have been extremely disappointing. Tonight's meal was the last straw. My chicken sandwich was like a hockey puck, entirely overcooked. Rustic bun: cheap hamburger roll. $17.00 for a horrible sandwich and an up charge of $1 for small amount of French fries. Best part of this visit were the happy hour priced craft bears. It says a lot about an establishment when the majority of the place is empty around 6 pm. We'll keep our good memories when this place was an enjoyable place to get a meal. But tonight will be our last visit.Do better Dukes, you have a potentially a great place to run a quality establishment, but you are running this place into the ground. Such a shame read more

Nicer than expected for the area! Little sports bar/bar and grill vibes. Indoor and outdoor seating. Parking lot behind the building or in the front there's street parking. Lots of food options such as sandwiches, pizzas, pasta, salads. My table ordered the appetizer combo, steak white pizza, pierogie pizza and a steak salad. Huge selection of beer as well! (48 taps) read more

Solid average beer bar. The tots were delicious. The veggie burger was fine. My friends were fulfilled by the Rachel. There's not much to offer in that area, but this place was decent when we were in a pinch. I would go there again after a movie or show. read more

Stopped in on a Friday evening while in town for the weekend. Sat at the bar right away and the bartender was very friendly. She recommended some local brews based on what I've enjoyed in the past. I created my own burger, which was perfectly cooked and came out delicious! It did fall apart easily because the bun was pretty flimsy. The sweet potato fries were also very tasty, but not well done as ordered. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would return. read more

I love dukes and it's great for game day! It's family owned and everybody knows everybody when you walk in which is always a great experience to have. The food had a home-cooked family recipe feel, which is delicious and there's 48 beer selections available for everyone's taste. The bartender that day was on! She checked on us and made sure our drinks never stayed empty! Really really recommend checking it out or the wine bar next door! read more

Good times and great people. You must visit this bar if you are into sports. Great place to go following a round of golf or if you want to relax with an icy cold one. Homestead is on the come back and Duke's keeps the dream alive. They have a loyal following that cultivates a friendly atmosphere and wonderful place to talk or catch-up with folks. They have a very nice outdoor seating area. Typical bar food which is wonderful. A must stop in if you anywhere near Homestead, PA. just a stones throw from Pittsburgh. read more

Where do you go on your way back from Kennywood on the Sunday before Labor Day? For us, it was Duke's Upper Deck Café--a spot we always enjoy and yet somehow always forget about. That's on us. Everything here is just easy and good. Beers? Solid. Cocktails on draft? This time it was an Aperol Spritz--also solid. Burgers, salads, sandwiches? Yep--solid across the board. No frills, no fuss, just consistently good food and drinks in a chill setting. It's the kind of place you leave thinking, "Why don't we come here more often?" So this time, we're committing it to memory. Duke's is absolutely worth the detour--and next time, we'll remember that before we're driving past it. read more

Great spot to watch a game and grab a beer. They have a huge menu selection of great stuff! The staff is always friendly. #yinzerspot read more

Duke's Upper Deck Cafe - Mad Cow - chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. - New American Near Me - Homestead, Pennsylvania

Ordered the Reuben egg rolls. They came out cold, hard and dry, like they were sitting in the back for an hour. Told the waitress and she ordered us a fresh batch. The second batch was much better, hot, juicy and delicious. Why would they serve us the cold, hard and dry ones in the first place? Next was the burger. Ordered The Works Burger. Their online menu lists this burger for $17. Must have raised their prices because now this burger is $20. Burger was smothered in an odd tasting mayo, making it a mushy mess. I was expecting a burger like the one pictured on their menu, but got one that was light on the "works" (little lettuce, no tomato) and heavy on the mayo which made everything mush. Very disappointing. read more

Cute bar with great food! Their bread for their sandwiches is sooo good. Also have great ranch! Will definitely be coming back here to try more because there is so many tasty sounding things on the menu! read more

Beautiful day to sit outside for lunch with the girls. The open space is secluded from the road but allows the breeze to come through. The waitress was very nice and quick to seat and check on us. Their onion rings are breaded with delicious batter. I got the Rachel without the corned beef. It was HUGE! I took half home. read more

Great food, great service, great people. They have a great beer selection. Definitely recommend the fish sandwich!

Very tasty and cozy spot in Homestead! Visited after a show nearby and had a very yummy dinner. The bar is cute and feels very home-y, and the food was great. Service was swift and friendly, too! I really loved the French onion soup - so much cheese! I enjoyed the grilled steak salad as well for my entree (I added tater tots instead of fries - delicious!) I'd love to return and try a burger or wings, and it's good to know that there's a nice non-chain option for dining around the Waterfront area. I'll be back! read more

I so badly wish the weather had been nice enough to take advantage of the patio/upper deck, but we still loved Duke's regardless. It's laid back, service is great, and the food was incredible! We split the pierogi appetizer and the Pinkerton sandwich, which is a staple there for good reason. The sandwich comes absolutely loaded with sliced sirloin and the bread managed to be perfectly crusty and fluffy at the same time. Full disclosure, it's my first experience with pierogis, but I was impressed with how smooth the filling was and how flavorful they were. How could you not love little potato pillows covered in buttery, sautéed onions?! read more

Always consistent here, and sometimes that's all you need. I've watched games here or stopped by before a comedy show and always enjoy it. Can get a little loud but it's a good atmosphere. I usually sit in the bar room. Food has always been good, especially the Rueben. Service is good and prices are completely reasonable. read more

Detailed Review: Cowher Club- 2/5 It's a very tall sandwich so it's hard to get ahold of. Everything on it was pretty bland except the stale bread and hard bacon. Fries and ranch: 4.5/5 Crispy and the ranch was good. .5 taken off because the ranch was too watery. Overall, nothing to write home about. I got it to go but none of my complaints would be caused by that. Won't be back. read more

The food was super delicious!! I got one of the burgers and it was great. Other members of my family got other burgers and sandwiches and everyone really liked their food. The atmosphere is casual and fun. There's a good-sized parking lot outside, but since it was busy there wasn't enough space. It took me forever to decide what I wanted since so many things on the menu looked good! I'd definitely come back again and try something else! read more

Had an awesome lunch at Duke's today! Wonderful quick service. We sat in the bar that was nice and had a difficult time deciding what to eat since everything looked good! We started with the zucchini as an appetizer and would definitely get it again. I had the Pinkerton-the sandwich and the roll it was on was amazing! My husband had the prime rib sandwich special -which he also loved! Great selection of beers and cocktails. Can't wait for family to visit so we can bring them here. Great place to meet friends to watch a game-we will be back! read more

Dukes was very good for the portion size. Their Reuben was big and filing and provided for leftovers. I felt like the service was standard. The overall takeaway was that it was just okay and left me wanting more read more

Great place in homestead to watch a Steelers game! Even if we don't win :( maybe next time! I had the best steak salad I ever had in my life! They gave me so much steak and it was cooked to perfection, the fries were crispy and they must have homemade ranch because it was bomb! Huge beer draft list available, the cranberry cider was amazing! Many local breweries featured as well. I'm giving 5 stars cause they deserve the high rating, however the French onion soup was so so salty. I had my friends all try it too so not just personal preference. Chef if you see this go easy on the salt, some of us have high blood pressure read more

Dukes always hits! I'm not sure what they do to make their burgers so good but they are the best in the area hands down.

This is a great waterfront alternative if you want something more local. They have a parking lot and is right off the homestead bridge. We came for lunch on the weekend, and there were plenty of seating. I tried their Pitts Burger with a side of sweet potato fries. It was really good with the extra crunch from the onion rings. We also ordered an onion rings appetizer. It was really yummy. Their menu is pretty extensive for bar food. You can tell people who come here are regulars, enjoying their weekend lunch. Overall the food was above average, and the staff was friendly. I liked the chill vibe when we were there. We'll definitely be back for more! read more

First time visiting and I was quite impressed. My wife and I got an order of onion rings to split and they were fresh and delicious, not the premade junk you get at most places. I had the meatball calzone for my entree and only ate about 1/4 of it. It was perfectly cooked on the outside and steaming hot on the inside. Had enough leftovers for 2-3 more meals. The staff was attentive and friendly. Glad to have an option besides the chains at the Waterfront. read more

We were just looking for a good old fashioned hamburger joint while visiting Pittsburgh and Duke's looked promising. Walking in, it doesn't look like much. It's a very small place with the bar taking up most of the space. They hung large mirrors up that helps it feel less enclosed. They have a decent sized menu and the build your own burger option, which is what we chose to do. We also ordered jalapeno poppers for an appetizer. The service was quick, our waitress was very nice and kept our glasses full, and the food was SO delicious! The burgers were fresh and hand pressed, the buns were toasted, which we love. When we're back in Pittsburgh again we'll definitely be stopping by Duke's!! read more

Just reprimanded by our server because I questioned the bill on a $1 side I selected with my Build Your Own Burger. I ordered the baked potato, one of a long list of $3 sides, the fully loaded potato $5 listed, a clear upcharge. The server's response instead of adjusting the bill, was that the menu was printed wrong and confusing, but a baked potato didn't quality as a $1 side implying I should pay. I responded that I didn't know and as my server, she should have pointed out the upcharge when I ordered so I'd know beforehand rather than after I ate. She said she'd take it up with her manager, then came back and lectured me that they'd do it this once time but BETTER NOT ORDER AGAIN AND BETTER REMEMBER THIS. Turned a relaxing dinner into an annoying one. She could have been more gracious as it's their mistake. Tip adjusted. Will rethink how soon we return there. read more

Great draft selections!!!! Cajun chicken salad was on point. Loud and echoey inside but good bar food. Good sandwiches and salads but no dinner entrees. read more

First off we ordered that app platter and the wings came out cold. I ordered a bacon cheese burger medium and it came out so burnt it was almost unbeatable! Never going there again!! Wouldn't recommend it to anyone! read more

Duke's has good food and good beer, making it a solid choice in my book. I was happy to find somewhere so close to home with such a big menu for days when I need a restaurant that my whole family can enjoy; Duke's had chicken entrees, salads, burgers, sandwiches, and lots of snack options that satisfied everyone in my party. I ordered the chicken salad and loved how crisp and delicious the fries were, and the seasoning on the chicken was delicious. On an earlier visit, I ordered wings, which were also good. We dined in around 9pm on a Friday and were able to snag a table in the quieter back room without any wait. Our waitress was friendly and personable, and made our table feel well cared-for. Food came out quickly, and everyone in my party gave their dishes positive reviews. read more

This is a great casual place with good basic food and a good beer list all at a very reasonable price. My friend and I go every couple of months and always enjoy ourselves without breaking the bank. read more

Such a great stop if you don't feel like eating at a chain Waterfront restaurant. The inside of the building is really cool. Lots of vintage details. The menu was big and everyone's food that we saw looked great. I had a chef salad which was really fresh. The meat was delicious and the dressing tasted homemade. My husband had a hot roast beef sandwich and loved that as well. We went in at an odd time and it was still relatively busy so I'm sure this place fills up on weekends. We can't wait to stop again. read more

welcoming atmosphere, great service, large menu with personal touch (hand dipped chicken stripes and onion rings).

Review #280! Another Covid19 Review for your reading pleasure. This was my second visit to Dukes but my first time eating. Like it or not the bar is practicing social distancing and other requirements set for by the department of health. All employees were wearing masks. We were quickly seated and our waitress was very attentive. We had onion rings as an appetizer which were the second best onion rings I've ever had. There is also a QR code on the table for a current list of drafts. I ordered the French Dip, my wife had the Pinkerton, and my boys split a pizza. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The buns for the sandwiches were really good and high quality. As I said our waitress was very attentive and the draft beer was very cold. The environment itself has a lot of character you aren't going to get at a chain restaurant. My only ding is I think things are 1-2 dollars over priced. Despite the prices, I would definitely return based on the timeliness of service, quality of food, and attentiveness. Instead of eating prepackaged garbage at the Waterfront drive another two minutes here. You will be happy. read more

welll.. I must say my food was excellent. I had the Pittsburgher sandwich. Waitress was good. Owner on the other hand-- was RUDE and he stated he doesn't need our business. Opened at 12, we were the first ones in there, had a larger party, but all separate checks. But what I did not expect, was they didn't put ANY of our orders in before people who walked in after us. So after sitting there for 1/2hr after ordering, not a lot of the food was started... It was not a planned event we were going too. So we could not call ahead. I was polite, even knowing what they did. read more
