    The chefs salad was very large and very delicious. It has a ton of ingredients.

    This was my third visit send they did not disappoint. I'll reserve the background for our group's christmas luncheon celebration. Everyone was happy with their food selections and service. The backroom was perfect for our group. We will definitely be back again.

    Smoked then fried wings

    First time eating from here. Horrible wings, the skin was rubbery and had absolutely no taste at all. These were supposed to be Garlic Parmesan wings. As you can see, they were burnt black on the edges.

    Our group of 20 was given the side room and a huge long table. And an open memo. The service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere comfortable. And after a request to the waitstaff to compliment the cook, he came out to thank us personally. I went big and had the Angus RibEye as did a couple friends. Various sides were had. The steak was a bit fatty but that's where the flavor comes from .. along with some wonderful subtle seasonings that didn't get in the way of the natural flavor. all others seemed pleased with their meals as well. Oh and some Chares pulled pork nachos were very nice! Friend and I shared a bottle of California Cab. Went with the steak nicely .. it had enough acid and tannins that preferred being with rich food. I would go back for sure

    Disappointed Table was set but never wiped down first. Rolled napkins had a frosting like hunt on them. And the glass on windows at our booth were CAKED with nasty food finger prints No excuses as we were the ONLY ones in there eating and could've been wiped during their downtime.

    The food is extremely good for tavern style food. The chef knows what he's doing. Excellent service from the bartenders and servers as well.

    It was just ok. Service was so slow and they weren't that busy. We ate bar food. It was fine...nothing stellar. Good atmosphere.

    One of my favorite spots in Hickory. Food is always fresh and delicious. Seems like they have mastered every thing on the menu.

    First time here, sat at the bar. great time, amazing food, great service! all around an amazing…read moredinner! our bartender was very informative, he recommended a pumpkin spice espresso martini, which was literally the best one I've ever had in my life!!!! the we split a bottle of mascato (so reasonably priced, $22). The vibe was a guy playing piano who sang so well! we enjoyed the dimmed lights and the lowkey vibe atmosphere with it being classy. overall great dinner!

    Disorganized and Disappointing…read more We had high hopes for Duke's, especially with its upscale vibe and menu, but the reality fell far short. From the moment we sat down, things started going sideways. First red flag? The water left on our table had bugs floating in it. Not a great start. The waitress, while friendly, seemed completely overwhelmed--she forgot our orders multiple times, asked the same questions repeatedly, and left us waiting far too long between check-ins. It took 40 minutes just to get our soups, and the entrees didn't arrive until over an hour after we ordered. The entire experience felt chaotic. At one point, another server brought two dishes and a drink to our table that weren't even ours. Total confusion. Now let's talk about pricing--specifically, a $12 charge to split a 24 oz ribeye. How does that make sense when one person might not even be able to finish it? It felt like a greedy upcharge for no real reason. Menu clarity was another issue. The sides weren't listed clearly, and no one explained that the "loaded potato" option was actually a soup--not an actual potato. The clam chowder? It's a tomato-based red soup, which is definitely not what most people would expect when ordering chowder. A simple explanation from the staff would've gone a long way. The duck was actually fantastic, the crab cakes not so much. Dessert was also oddly handled. They offer a brownie, but ask, "Is that okay?" as if there are other options (there aren't). Then they bring one brownie split four ways--literally bite-sized portions on a single plate for a group of four. It felt more like a sampler than a real dessert. When it came time to pay, we were asked if we were ready for the check, but then they came back later and had to double-check everyone's order just to get the bill right. And instead of bringing the check, you're told to scan a QR code to pay--likely a move to avoid credit card processing fees, though it puts the burden on the customer to complete the transaction. Overall, Duke's tries to present itself as upscale, but the execution just isn't there. Sloppy service, confusing policies, and unnecessary upcharges make it hard to justify a return visit. Definitely not the dining experience we were hoping for.
