Love the Reuben sandwiches and their wings..Clean have known owners and their family..Very good enviroment

Duke's is fantastic. Bottom line. Great staff. Great crowd. Terrific food. If you're looking for a lunch spot, by the way...go here. Oh...and order the sampler platter...something like the 9 sampler...and no for the money it costs take a whole lot home with you. Duke's is clean and well kepy...the staff is friendly and attentive...great drinks, great food. Reasonable prices. There just isn't a downside, folks...go here! read more

The right place at the right time. This place was the spot we were looking for the entire time we were staying in Pittsburg. Great beer list and. Friendly staff. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. We got here right when they opened, and had the entire roofed patio area to ourselves. Diana, the server, was so friendly, helpful, and ON IT. She brought a high chair out for my daughter without even being asked! So I'll start with my drink-if you're a lover of bloody Mary's, try one here! I asked for extra spicy and it was seriously phenomenal. The food is really great. American pub food, done expertly. It came out in a normal amount of time, and everything was hot. Only one person in our party got fries, as they are extra. I get that some ppl might think that's a negative, but for me and my family, it's a great choice bc we never eat all of our food anyway. I got the Pinkerton, their most popular sandwich...as I'm writing this i seriously want it again! The BREAD IS AWESOME! But the whole sandwich was super flavorful and FILLING. I will put up the pics of everyone's meal, everyone said what they ordered was top notch EXCEPT the Cowher club has really dry roast beef. But, he also mentioned the horseradish sauce was great. All in all, we WILL be back, and soon! read more

We came here on Sunday before we left town for home. It was recommended by our bartender the night before who was also our bartender here (Josh). He and the rest of the staff were awesome and very attentive to our needs. We had drinks and an amazing appetizer sampler. Josh let me sub the mini perogies for the wings since I am a vegetarian. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Everyone we've taken to Duke's loves it (and we have some picky friends!!)! I love their chicken strips and salads. They have great pizza and sandwiches too. Their beer selections are vast and really cover everyone's palette. I love iced tea-but, theirs is not fresh brewed-not a deal-breaker by any means-water works too! They have daily specials-we've had several and they have been great. The staff are terrific and it really feels like a "home town bar"! read more

I love this place, food is more homestyle than chain. Relaxed atmosphere when i'm stressed at lunch or the end of a long day. Service is always and beyond. Thx. read more

I've been coming here for years! It's for sure my favorite bar. Excellent beer, food and service.

Went here seeing the relatively good reviews, but I can honestly say it was the worst meal I've had in Pittsburgh, even given it's pretty basic manu. It took 20+ minutes to get a salad, and then when the food came out it was largely flavorless. I ordered tater tots and they were so burnt and grease-soaked they were inedible and the waitress just acted like it was perhaps a normal thing?. I would not recommend visiting this place, sorry. read more

Another great visit to Duke's. This time seated in the "outside patio " and it was great . So great to see these restaurants so busy. Our server, Cotter, as excellent as she was the last time. French onion soup was delicious. My husband had the Tomlin sandwich and he loved it and I had the Korean fried chicken sandwich and it was delicious. The house made chips are amazing. Try this place if you have not. Great experience and we will be back (can't wait until the patio is open) read more

Ordered appetizers, the buffalo chicken was not great and a very small portion, also got French onion soup and a side salad. got them with our meal. Low quality food at an expensive price. The chicken salad was good and plentiful. read more

Great food! Wonderful service! Our waitress was great!! We were able to watch a pre-season Steeler game on TV on the Deck! Such a nice atmosphere! read more

Great food at a reasonable price! I had the beef and cheddar which was AWESOME! My wife had the Italian wedge which was twice what she could eat; also really good. My son had the Buffalo chicken pizza and he couldn't finish it which is crazy because he crushes food like a garbage disposal! Really cool local place! read more

We seem to come to Duke's every couple of years. Its a neat little place on the other side of the waterfront. It's easy to pick a chain down in the Waterfront, but Duke's is off the beat a little on 8th Avenue. A great beer list can be found at Duke's as well as good sandwiches, wings, and other bar fare. I had a salad this past time around and was excited to discover that they make their own dressing. The thousand island was really good. read more

Duke's Upper Deck Cafe - New American Near Me - Homestead, Pennsylvania

This place is the best! It has the best wings hands down! My favorite wings are the Korean BBQ chicken wings that are priced really well. They are succulent and so yummy. The flavor is packed and the quality of how it is cooked and was presented to me was stellar! I also ordered the mozzarella cheese sticks and they were more like logs! This is worth it if you are truly a foodie and fan of the cheese sticks. For my main course, I ordered two things as I wanted to try both! The first thing I ordered was a turkey burger. It was not as appealing as the written description but it was edible. Next, I ordered the jerk chicken salad and I was impressed. The salad was fresh and yummy. The chicken was tasty as it was a jerk seasoned blackened piece of chicken. So it is very safe for people who are not wanting the spice as it is not spicy. The long islands were delicious and for the price of ten bucks a mug- I was really happy enjoying all I had to eat! read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday. Decor is very cosy with lots of dark wood and old sports memorabilia. We sat ourselves right away in a tight booth. Draft list was excellent- so many unique beers on tap that I had never tried before! Settled on a Mexican hot chocolate stout that was delicious. Menu was very meat heavy so as a vegetarian, I was pretty limited. Everyone at my table loved the French onion soup. I got the deluxe veggie riverboat, which was a solid sandwich. The side salad was definitely a lot larger than a normal side salad and pretty fresh. My partner got the Reuben which looked good, and definitely stole a lot of his onion rings. Nice place for a quick bite in homestead! Our service was just attentive enough, and no one minded that we hung around a while after we finished. read more

Reserved a table, but forgot to reserve the fish!!! Hehehehe. Horrible experience! Will never ever come again even if for some bizarre reason my life depended on it. Death to Duke. read more

Been here twice...it's great. Fantastic wings. Great big huge salads and nice daily specials. Their staff is friendly and fast. We had the fajita salads and wings. The menu is huge. Nice sports bar decor and the menu looks like a newspaper-very clever. They have outdoor seating and a back room. Yes you can take kids here. Family friendly. I'd go again in a heartbeat. Nice location . read more

I had no idea this place existed and I've been going to the Waterfront since High School. I went on a work outing with my colleagues so that's how I found out about Duke's. Their beer list is truly extensive and for a group that loves beer, it definitely hit the spot for us. There was something for everyone. I had a Titos and soda, they did not underwhelm in the alcohol department :). During lunch in the middle of the week makes it easy for a bigger group to come there but I imagine it gets more filled up as the night goes on. Their food was great! I ordered the French onion soup, which is my absolute favorite soup to be had and it was just right. Not too salty or overdone and loads of cheese which made it even better. I also ordered a Cajun chicken salad. I ordered the fries on the side, however. There could've been more lettuce in the salad but it all tasted great. Lots of chicken and good spice. The fries were super crispy and delicious. The only two negatives I found weren't with me but my co-workers. One ordered a burger and she said it was not seasoned enough but everyone has different pallets when it comes to seasoning. And my other co-worker ordered steamed veggies as his side and it was A LOT of undercooked red onions, mushrooms and some zucchini. It was just a very weird plate but I ended up putting them on my salad because I love warm veggies on a cold salad. If you're looking for a decent place for lunch that's inexpensive, then definitely try here! read more

My husband and his friends had dinner at Dukes tonight. He brought me home a sandwich. I made an order for the Tomlin Chicken Sandwich with modifications. The Tomlin Chicken sandwich served without modifications is a chicken sandwich with mushrooms, onions, sweet peppers, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, & tomato on a roll. Served with mild and wild wing sauces. Choice of fries or chips. I requested that the onions & mushrooms be kept off of the sandwich. And that the wild wing sauce be held. Wild is too spicy for me these days. The sandwich comes with both mild and wild sauces. I also requested for Swiss cheese instead of pepper jack. And that the sandwich come with chips. I asked for a side of honey mustard and ketchup. Since I ordered from home and my husband brought it back, I didn't check the order before it left the restaurant. What came home & I got was a chicken sandwich with Swiss cheese and red peppers. With French fries. And hot sauce and a mystery sauce. I'm not sure what the mystery sauce is. It's got a kick to it but kind of tastes like dressing. It's not honey mustard. The hot sauce isn't very tasty. I don't know what it is. But it's salty & bland. No ketchup. However the chicken sandwich with just cheese and peppers is very tasty. So despite it not being what I had anticipated and previously ordered at the restaurant, it's really good so I'm still giving 4 stars. read more

Duke's Upper Deck Cafe - Really good, but I'm not sure it's what I ordered or if the sauces are just strange - New American Near Me - Homestead, Pennsylvania

Good local bar . Food good , friendly staff. Lots of space and TVs parking tough though

First time ordering from here - carry out so I can't speak to the atmosphere but the food was INCREDIBLE. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Dip, the Cuban sandwich, the Korean BBQ sandwich, and the Tomlin Chicken Supreme. All were amazing and so satisfying. read more

This place is amazing although the fries were a little rusty if u do get the fries use ketchup if u get them I'm a very picky eater and I may come to your restaurant so be ready read more

My boys and I stopped here for dinner one night. It was cold and dreary outside but warm and homey in here. Our server was extremely nice. The menu had lots of options. They are kind of known for their potato soup so that's what I had. It is very good. It's a very thick soup that is velvety smooth. I would definitely order it again. It was perfect for a rainy night. My youngest son had chicken tenders. They looked a little over cooked but I tasted one and it was good. The coating was crispy and the chicken was juicy. My older son ordered wings with their house made sauce. It was good but not spicy enough for him. I thought it was good and would order it the next time I go. read more

Came to Dukes for a night out with friends and we sat at the bar until our table was ready. The bartender Holly was amazing, especially her Old Fashions. When we sat at our table, we were greeted by our server Marissa with all smiles. The drink sizes were large and our food was amazing. Highly recommend the Pinkerton (Marissa said that was her favorite). Lovely atmosphere. The owner, Joe, brought our food and then came to check on us. Highly recommend this family owned restaurant. read more

this evening I was at dukes upper cafe they told forever to bring out apps then took forever to bring out my pizza then the pizza was burnt there's bugs everywhere bad vibez read more

2 strikes. Enjoy the fact that there are other options in the area like Dukes but our last couple visits have been very disappointing. Hate to do it but I need to leave a review in hopes the manager can get things right. One of the main issues is that the kitchen is overcooking the hell out of the food I've ordered the past 2 visits. I can deal with a long wait which is understandable when there is a game on but having to wait for something that comes out missing something and overcooked can be frustrating especially given the cost. Last visit was a burger. I gave up and refused the offer for another. Bartenders were super cool about it and even offered me free drink tokens which I decided to redeem today. I felt bad just ordering free beer so I ordered a sandwich. It was the roast beef and turkey club which was described specifically on the menu as medium rare which sounded pretty good to me. The roast beef was beyond that. I would say extra well done. Obviously one of the chefs is struggling but I'm not totally sure that the beef was cooked in house. I'm not a chef but know when to pull a roast beef out of the cooker to achieve the proper temp. Anyway I decided not to say anything since the sandwich was still pretty edible and because of my girlfriend being embarrassed of me complaining. Decent beer selection. Waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Bar staff not so much this visit. We were ignored until I grabbed a table in the back. Neither of us weren't very happy about this. Possibly a no standing policy since there was only one empty chair at the bar? At least say something/acknowledge the customer that has been standing clearly in your view for 10 min obviously waiting for a drink. read more

Had corned beef sandwich. Meh. Onion rings were horrible. Extremely breaded and doughy. Greasy as all get out. I hope the chef will take the hint when all of the breading comes back, as I had to peel it away to get to the onion. read more

Duke's Upper Deck Cafe - Back section. - New American Near Me - Homestead, Pennsylvania

Stopped by on a Mon evening after trying to dine at Smoke Taqueria which is closed Mondays. Parking on street in front or behind off Hay St. Super friendly bartender. In warmer months they have huge outdoor area & big screen & upstairs cornhole game area. Okay draft beer selection and big bottle selection. Tried the italian club which was really good - two of us split one. Also tried sweet potato fries - amazingly good! Home made chips w bleu were overpowered by sauce. Bathroom was in need of plaster and wall repairs & was grossed out by toilet brush/holder on a shelf near toilet at eye level. Bet it's a fun place in warmer months. read more

Duke's Upper Deck Cafe - Bar at Dukes Upper Deck. 5 nice TVs in bar too. - New American Near Me - Homestead, Pennsylvania

One of my favorite places to hang out at. Haven't been there much since COVID but they always had great beer on tap, and a lot of it! Food is really good, and the bartenders are always friendly and on top of things. read more

Nice place to grab a late night bite. The atmosphere is loud inside the bar but you can also sit on the balcony which is much quieter. The servers are all very friendly and gave me suggestions on what to get since it was my first time eating there. The list of draft beers is huge! The Hand of the Queen barleywine was a nice choice. The food was good, nothing super special or extravagant, but still good. I had a meatball riverboat. If you've ever had the meatball tostini sub at Primanti Bro, the meatball riverboat tastes exactly the same. I would definitely make this a go-to for some late night grub again. read more

Duke's Upper Deck Cafe - Holy moly the beer selections!! - New American Near Me - Homestead, Pennsylvania

I went to Dukes yesterday for my cousins birthday and was pleasantly surprised. We sat on the back patio which was enclosed so we were dry from the rain but still had fresh air. The happy hour was great, we got the jalepeno poppers, soft pretzels and the mozzarella sticks. I highly recommend the mozz sticks because they cut, bread, and fry the cheese fresh. My family is big into trying different beers and I'm not much of a beer drinker. I was still able to enjoy different sours and ciders with a good selection. My favorite was definitely Trick Candle sour and the Slangria fruit beer. Our sever was beyond attentive and made sure our glasses were never empty before asking if we would like a another round. As for dinner, I got the 6" Italian hoagie and added the sweet potato fries for $1 extra (totally worth it!). I was so full but so satisfied. I had a great time having dinner with the family, great food & great drink selection, amazing service and nice environment & music. I would definitely recommend to friends and family who enjoy nice drinks and bar food! read more

My veggie riverboat (hoagie) was soggy and fell apart. They should use denser and fresher bread for their sandwiches. If you want healthy food, this is not the place. The menu was almost all meat sandwiches, pizza, and deep-fried appetizers. read more

Today we went to one of our favorite watering holes, Dukes Upper Deck in Homestead. During nice weather you can sit out on a top deck and enjoy the sunshine or starry night. There is even a covered outside eating area. The place fills up quickly on a Friday night. We have had to leave on a couple occasions due to lack of seating. :( They have 48 beers on tap! A Nitrous system. For a beer lover, you can taste different brews at a fair price. They also have a happy hour that makes that special brew selection even better! The food is wonderful. They do something with their fries that make them crunchie on the outside, but soft inside. They are very addictive. When you get to the bottom of the plate you wish you had more. Their sandwiches are truly delicious! Their hamburgers are not premade boxed kind. The Reuben is full of corned beef and sauerkraut. The portions are hungry man size. The Pinkerton.... oh my! 2 can enjoy one sandwich, or take home half for lunch the next day. The works burger....even bigger and full of fixins! The prices are great for an enjoyable meal. There are many different choices on the menu to choose from. The bartender is so very nice. The waitresses friendly and helpful. Try it! You won't be dissappointed. read more

Was not too crazy about the food. People that ordered fried food you could tell the oil was old because the food crumbles in your hand. Wings were too saucy. Otherwise, the atmosphere was great and beer was cold! read more

Overall Duke's Upper Deck was a nice atmosphere and seemed like an after work hang out for the locals of all ages mid 20s and up. PARKING - Duke's has a small parking lot for maybe 15ish cars but since it was full, we had to find parking on the very steep hill with limited spaces available. Heels and hills are still not a favorite combination of mine. I am still not sure about parking rules in PA since I'm from TX but we didn't get towed so I guess that's good. BEER - My husband raved about the beer selection and he wasn't off. This place has one of the largest draft beer selections of all the places I've been to so far. The happy hour prices can't be beat either! FOOD - The hubby and I shared onion rings which were pretty good. I like to think I am not a picky person but my French Dip was not a favorite. The meat was overcooked, bland, and dry. The as jus sauce was decent but could not make up for the thing that was missing. I would have to add horseradish or something if I every ordered it again. The fries were amazing! I ate half my husbands plate ]:). My husband had the bleu burger which came out Well done even though he ordered medium but overall he was satisfied with his meal. SERVICE - We sat at the downstairs bar area and although it was busy, it was not chaotic enough receive the lackluster service that we did. It seems like the wait staff was working 3-4 tables in our area and some tables on the upper deck of the interior building. Our waters ran out multiple times, my husband was able to finish a beer long before another one was ordered, and we maybe saw her about 2 or 3 times during the whole meal. I can't give the place more stars because of the service experience but I would go back on a slower night or during weekend lunch to give it another chance. read more

I did went to this place because of the yelp reviews. I tried the onion soup and the steak and egg omelet. I barely make it home that day because as soon I left the place a heavy diarrhea barely let me drive home. I spend the rest of the day in the bathroom And at the night my body could not stand it aminore and I starter to throw up. That lasts for 3 hours until I vomit everything that I have in my body. Definitely a awful experience. I will not go back to eat there and I advice to do not go there because of the lack of higiene. I am editing this review to add that the I do not have any allergy to any kind of food. Actually, I have travel from Suramérica to Asia and I have tried a lot of different food and I never had have a food poisoning this severe. read more

Solid Pittsburgh Bar/Eatery. Brendan and I have lived near Homestead for going on 3 years and only visited Duke's for the first time this past week. Sacrilegious, I know! First of all, I love the lay out of it. There's a shuffle board in the space between Eighth & Hays and Duke's and you can sit there as well. There are windows, but it's completely covered, making it the perfect spot to hang when it's raining. The upper deck is awesome, of course- who doesn't love a good spot to sit outdoors? Although we could have had dinner near the bar, it was really loud there, so we were thankful there was some additional seating in the back of the restaurant. It was quiet and more spacious there, which was nice. I wasn't too hungry, so I only had french onion soup and a side salad to eat. Brendan ordered a burger and fries and his mom ordered the potato skin appetizer. Everyone liked their food. The burger was pretty big and Brendan really enjoyed it. The fries were not fresh cut, but they were still very good. What I was the most impressed with was their beer selection. They had so many great beers on tap. I chose a wheat beer from Gristhouse and was not disappointed. Overall, we had a great time and look forward to returning! read more

I love this bar! Great food and atmosphere. But they're closed on Monday and Tuesday. I can't tell you how many times I've driven down there only to find out it's closed. Frustrating! read more

So many choices of beers! Food is excellent. Problem is they've never gotten an order right yet. Best Calzones around but never get to eat it because they can't figure out no onions. Be sure to speak slowly and write down your own order I guess. I'll only be back for the drafts. Done with the food route. read more
