Duke's Steakhouse
Are the words steakhouse and affordable possible in the same sentence? One Duke's Steakhouse's tag lines is "Casual family dining with affordable aged, handcut steaks, barbeque ribs and fresh seafood, beer, wine & spirits, friendly atmosphere, happy hour, ..."
At first I was expecting Sizzler kind of establishment, but was pleasantly surprised, with the entire experience. I went with a large group of friends, we had a party of seven. I called ahead for a reservation and there were no issues with getting us seated promptly. Our table was OK, but not great. It was the long table in the back corner, but with the layout of the restaurant, it was the most logical place for us. We also went after the dinner rush. Our server was pretty attentive and personable, overall good, but not great.
The decor of Duke's is OK, but not great. When you walk in to the right is a refrigerated display case showing various cuts of beef that they serve. I like the fact that they were willing to show the goods. The rest of the place is decorated in a Western theme that is not too complicated. This may be one the the reasons that they are an affordable steakhouse.
We began the meal with a few beers. Duke's offers beer and wine, but not a full bar. We ordered the red chile poppers and the loaded potato skins for our appetizers. All the the appetizers are good, but very simple and fried. The food was served with a sweet bread that was good. For my entree I ordered the 9 oz filet rare with mashed potatoes and the vegetable of the day which was a combination that I cannot recall. My meat was prepared fairly well.
I would say that Duke's quality of meat is similar to the quality found at Texas Roadhouse. It is a good steakhouse, but not great. Nothing about it stands out. Overall, I would give it three out of five stars.
