    Excellent food. Great service. Wonderful place to gather with friends and family. We love sitting on the deck . Variety of dishes....healthy food available for those who don't want to eat junk. Worth the stop !

    We LOVE Duke's and never miss a pit-stop on our East Coast travels. Everything about it is an experience. Food is top-notch. Libations are perfect. Sean, the bartender, has been there for 30 years, since it opened, and still going strong. If I lived in the neighborhood, it'd be my regular spot.

    This place is amazing! A vast food menu with good size portions. Why is that so hard to find places? This place nails it. Everything was excellent. If you ever are in the area and never had crab dip on a burger, believe me stop in and try it. Trust me, it belongs on there! Wife and daughter both loved their food as well. Although it’s a good drive for me at a few hours away, I’m looking for reasons to go back to the area just to go here again.

    Duke’s was an overall great experience that already has us planning to return! The service was fantastic considering how busy our waitress was and the food was ALL delicious. The mountain meatloaf was an extraordinary taste of flavors and the sweet potato waffle fries were delicious! Cannot wait to go back when the weather is warm enough to enjoy the deck seating.

    Great food and great value. Went to Dukes while traveling for work and was so good the first time that I had to go back the next day. The fish and chips was great, also the value was great, three large pieces of fish that filled me up that I hardly touched the chips. On my second visit I had the one crab cake meal, when they brought me the plate I was thinking I should have ordered the two crab cake meal but with the sides it was enough food. Great place to eat and the view of the river is beautiful, will definitely return I’d ever in the area again.

    Was passing through PA and decided to eat here based on it being a waterfront restaurant. We ordered the strawberry walnut chicken salad and the Rachel sandwich. The menu is several pages long. The food came out surprisingly fast for as busy as it was on Sunday morning at opening. Our waitress, Danica (sp) was attentive, friendly, and helpful. The views were peaceful and there was plenty of shaded outdoor seating! We would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    Very nice place for lunch dinner or gathering with friends. Sitting inside and outside. Amazing river views! Very friendly stuff. Service was great and quick! We ordered: fish and chips; crab pretzel; chicken fingers and cheese pizza from the kids menu. Everything was delish! Will recommend!

    Great place to eat. It’s a really awesome bar and grill restaurant with big portions and a great view of the Susquehanna river. If you’re struggling to choose a place to eat, I would recommend Duke’s as a solid option. Good pointer is it’s first come first serve - they don’t do reservations, but the place is really big with many seats and tables so unless it’s around super bowl season or a really busy time I’d imagine you wouldn’t have trouble getting a spot, at least that’s my opinion. Also, they have a spacious parking lot right across the building. And that’s always a good plus. Hope this helped any hungry foodie!

    If you head over early on a Saturday, there's no wait to be seated, but we chose seating in the bar. (Such lovely views!!) We both got the onion rings because you should just NOT miss them! I was so intent on my Chicken Parmagiana Sandwich, I didn't even notice what kind of sandwich my son got... LoL!!!

    Great food, can get very busy but our server makes sure to check in with us every once a while. Accommodated us for my friend's birthday. The food is usually very big portions, but I got the crab cake for the first time and it was tiny! First time I was able to finish my meal without taking it to go.

    Went here on mother's day with wife and 2 sons. Arrived just before 4pm. Was sat within 20min of arrival. Not bad right? Server took roughly 10 min to come over for drinks. Then we put in our apps after drinks arrived. Not bad so far. Appetizer(s) took 48min to come out, and it was their "famous" crab pretzel. Unfortunately my other son's app didn't come out nor did my wings. Server takes another 15 min to come over and check on us. She states she will go look. Continues to check for the next 40min. Finally food is here, or is it? Oh the kitchen brought it to the table next to us as I say politely that it's our food as the other table also tells them it's not theirs while the staff appears to be walking away. We get out food but we have no utensils. Few moments later we have them however sadly at this moment it doesn't matter bc the food COLD ..ive worked in restaurants and I know that for food to come out cold it's in the window for a long long time. My wings were so cold that the bones were actually cold. Fries were ice cold and wet. Son's burger was ice cold. Wife's fish was ice cold. Other son's chicken tenders were actually hot. Waitress comes over moments later to ask how things are and I inform her of the situation and she says she's sorry and will ask for a refire.. I immediately stop her and just nicely inform her that I will pay for wife's drinks and the sodas and the one app that came out hot but other than that we will be leaving. She goes and finds a manager and just comps the entire meal. She was young and seemed lost in her element so I don't entirely blame her and for that I did ask her to ring up one of the sodas so I could leave her a tip. And it would have been about 15% of the bill had the food been out so she still was taken care of for her time but for the restaurant, I'll never return nor advise others of eating here

    I always come here with friends when we're in town. The drinks are delicious. This year, I tried the Philly Cheesesteak Fries and Flatbread Pepperoni Pizza. Both were delicious. My friends loved the cheesesteak fries as well! They have 2 parking lots across the street.

    A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I think this was the best sandwich I’ve ever had at a restaurant! Tuscan Turkey Sandwich add Bacon. The drinks were amazing too! Service was OK, not terrible, but they were super busy. I’d definitely go here again. Two thumbs up +

    Food came out perfectly, and you get a LOT for what you pay for. You def won’t leave hungry. Service was wonderful and personal, like talking to an old friend. Atmosphere was nice, music not too loud, just lots of TVs on which, for me, is kinda distracting but I’m sure others liked it. I gave 4/5 stars instead of 5 because there wasn’t really anything that was over-the-top memorable about this place. But it was still nice and I would certainly go there again.

    Great time. Sat with friends and we had a great crispy chicken salad. Waiter recommended honey mustard for the dressing and I had no regrets. I even used the QR scan code to pay with my card..and add tip. I usually don't like the home-made breading because it tastes like burnt oil, but it was good. Maybe they corrected that!

    Well you cannot beat the atmosphere. On the river dining. Pub food to some really impressive steak and chicken option’s. Food is always solid here, drink prices are reasonable, and easily match the local market. We go here once a month or so during the warm months, in the evenings for dinner.

    Nice restaurant. They have a big menu. It’s overwhelmingly big. Service is friendly and does a great job. I really enjoyed it and would definitely return. We had the bruschetta appetizer, which was really good. I had the meatball sub which was humongous and very good. All of the portions are generous and everyone left more than full.

    This is our favorite Restaurant/Bar when we come to Hershey. This is our 5th time here and the service and the food are always top notch. You get a beautiful view, while your eating. Can't beat that . I highly Highly recommend this restaurant if your in the area. Check out my pictures they speak for them selves..

    A group of us stopped for lunch after mom's funeral . I was impressed with the portions, and the price. And they were quick to accommodate a party of 11 people at the last minute. Steak was very tender, and cooked just right, and the Garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli were superb. Will definitely return

    Huge menu - it was a hard decision but what we ordered came out hot and great flavor!

  • 5/5 Barb T. 6 months ago on Google
    We headed to the waterfront on our trip from PA to RI. It was a great pitstop with a view. The service was spot on, the meal was better than expected, the location was a one off. Very pleased, thank you Duke's.

  • 5/5 Jeff B. 11 months ago on Google
    Duke’s has a great vibe right on the river. I recommend sitting outside on the deck. Their menu is expansive and reasonably priced. I recommend the mango bango drinks. They aren’t very strong but are delicious.
