Reviews
"Hole in the wall looking BBQ restaurant that serves up some good pulled pork BBQ along with hash and rice. All you can eat for just $10.00. Can’t go wrong with that."
"It has been a few years since I ate their. It is the best. I love the slaw. It has red hash what I think is the best. Been busy along time. Please try it. You don't like it I'll pay for your meal."
"Wow! Do one thing and do it well! And the folks at Duke's do just that! No intentions of getting food but the drive through line was out into the road and the parking lot was full so I had to see what the fuss was all about. Did not disappoint! Limited selection of choices but extremely healthy proportional helpings of delicious affordable food. BBQ was so good. The staff hustle to bust out these small selections of food by the pounds! And don't forget to try some homemade ice-cream! ***Only hitch - CASH ONLY!***"
"We're from NW Georgia and have been going to Duke's on Chestnut St. for almost 40 years. If you want real low country bbq and the best hash ever this is your place. If you want fried chicken and mac and cheese go to KFC."
"Great food always. Pricey.. what's up with sauce though? Is there a shortage? By the time you get through the top the meat is dry, no more sauce."
