      Food is just as good as I remember.
      Staff is keeping the restaurant as clean as they can with the number of people coming through the door.

      It will take a few weeks for patronage to level off and things to get to a new normal.

      This is the first time I've experienced a restaurant like Duke's Bar-B-Que. This South Carolina joint is truly an experience. It felt like a fancy school cafeteria. If you want something fancy, this place is not for you; this is for families and friends.

      Duke's had so much food I couldn't try it all. The rice and hash were an exciting blend, but not for me. The bone-in wings, pulled pork, and ribs were delicious. Everyone was raving about the peach cobbler, but I got none. The cookies and cream mixed with ice cream were perfect.

      It was a self-service style establishment, but the employees were quickly rotating out new trays of food.

      Dukes was an experience that I hope to return to one day.

      I've missed Dukes so much I'm ashamed to say how many times I've been since the reopening but it's been delicious each and every time. Fresh vegetables hot and fresh chicken and the ribs are melt in your mouth tender.

      I've waited a while for this place to reopen. I finally made it today and was happy I did. The food is delicious and it is a self serve Buffett. The build has a lot of indoor and screen porch seating. There is plenty of parking. There are a lot of sides available.

      This place just reopened after a long rebuild due to fire. It was very nice inside with large seating areas and a patio seating area. There was live music when we went on a Thursday. The buffet area was clean and well organized. The smoked pork was pretty good but the hash is not like it was before the fire. The large assortment of vegetables was just ok with some of them being pretty bland. The BBQ chicken was dry with very little flavor. The fried chicken was pretty good. There were no hush puppies which was very disappointing. One the wait staff said they were still trying to figure out how to use the hush puppy machine. They need to work on getting tables wiped off more quickly as we had to wipe our own table before we sat down. We were left disappointed due to the lack of flavor and the fact that it was kind of pricey for what we got.

      We finally made it to "DUKES BBQ" today, and we found it to be very good. The Ribs were meaty and tasty, some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. They had a plethora of sides to choose from, that were all fresh and flavorful! The BBQ SAUCES were all delicious... We enjoyed our visit and will be back. The prices were incredibly cheap.
      Keep in mind, it's not Texas BBQ.This place is no Terry Black , Hutchins , Pecan lodge or Hard 8, all in Texas, but was very good!

      As everyone else in Aiken, we couldn't wait to try Duke's BBQ again after such a long closure. It's a nice new building with plenty of seating and an enclosed porch to sit outside. The barbecue pulled pork was good as I recall, but the BBQ chicken was dry and way overcooked. The ribs were very tough and the home made chips had so much salt on them, that for me, were inedible. Some of the sauces are definitely not the same. The custard machine was not working and the chocolate eclare pudding in the desserts wasn't made this trip. So many of our favorites that we looked forward to enjoying were not there. So, we may go again, but definitely not the same as before.

      A home town favorite for years! Love the hash and rice and the multiple choices of vegetables. Great fried and barbecued chicken as well as pork.

      Disappointing that they couldnt get their only bbq meat right. It was somewhat warm to the touch but when you bit into it the meat was still cold in the middle. But their fried chicken was good! Their veggies were just ok. Dessets- eat at your own risk. Still a cool experience if you are looking for a small country bbq place.
