| - I really wanted to like Duke's Tavern. It's right around the corner from our house and I try to support local business as much as possible. However, there needs to be a few improvements before I would consider coming back.
Price wise, they are competitive with other restaurant/bars in the area. However, their food leaves a lot to be desired. I ordered the chicken tenders, something I always do when I go to a new restaurant. I figure, if you mess up something as simple as chicken tenders, how can I trust the rest of the food? While everything was made fresh, my plate came out with three extremely small pieces of chicken. Like... Super small. To the extent that I would have expected twice as much at another restaurant. Taste wise it was okay, but nothing to really write home about. My fiancé had the jalapeño cream cheese stuffed burger which he thought was ok. Our dining companions both had the Reuben which they thought was ok, although the onion rings seemed to be really greasy and overly breaded.
Service was good, hence the three stars. The decor is a little weird. It's almost like Duke's is going through some sort of an identity crisis. The patio looked really nice and if they added some TVs out there, it would be awesome.
I'm glad we tried Duke's but as of right now if we were looking for a bar we would probably just go to Zipp's.
