Duke's Beef - Bridgeview

I love Dukes. I have been coming here since I was a kid, Friday or Saturday nights were cruise nights with my Dad. I love it! I am a creature of habit and I ALWAYS order the beef with hot peppers. One of my favorite beefs in the area. They have awesome French fries, they are thin and there is a whole bag that's big enough to share. It's a definite must stop in the summer! Sitting outside and getting the old school drive in vibe! But beware they don't have a bathroom!!! Only a port o potty out back! Yikes!

Very Sad....The Owner Could have gave it to His Employees and let them Keep it Going.....It was a Great Place and Many People miss it!.........That New Dukes is Not the Same Owner and the Food Is Not anything Like the Original

Dukes has re-opened out on LaGrange Road in Mokena, with basically the same menu items and quality as the old Dukes in Bridgeview. It's not close by for me, so I don't frequent it as much as I did the Bridgeview location, but it is worth it to go to Mokena if you are in need of a good sandwich. Menu is basically the same, as are the ingredients. Definately try the new location, you won't be disappointed. Good luck to dukes in their new spot!

This was on my list of must try Beefs in Chicago. I went in skeptical having tried many places and still only finding Al 's and Johnny 's as my go-to places outside of the obscure Italian Deli 's. Duke 's did not disappoint and blew past my expectations. I was a Johnny 's number 1 in the Chi until I met the Duke! Killer Package on First Visit 1. One beef (typical which is semiwet I believe) 2. One order of French Fries (crispy as heck awesome) 3. One Milkshake That is the combo that drives it home. The salty sweet combo with an amazing beef is ridiculously good. Tip: embrace the ambiance and eat outside. Tip: talk to the ladies about Chicago Southside. They are a hoot and offer great history as well as places to see. Tip: sample a fry to ensure they are crispy. An expert dukie showed me this and said 9 out of 10 times they are perfect but still check

AAAAAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Duke 's!!!!!! yum yum yum yum yum yum yum !!!!!! Good lord, there Italian beef is the best in the country! I can say it safely, 'cause you can 't get real Italian beef outside Chicago (and a few burbs). I first discovered the beauty of these beefs when my dad worked at a steel mill down the street. I think Duke 's is what makes me visit my folks more often. There meat is tender, cut thin as paper, and full of flavor. Their sandwiches are so big, you shouldn 't eat 1 alone. I suggest you order it dry though, 'cause otherwise it will be dripping through the bag. If you order fries, order with about 3 other people. The order is THAT BIG! Be careful sitting outside in the summer, there 's always a swarm of bees when you sit on their benches. Don 't believe the hype of the franchises and chain beef stands. Although Portillo 's, Al 's and Buona are good, they are not anywhere as good as Duke 's.
