To start, I have to say that I am from the south and do have high expectations regarding barbecue. I was not expecting the best that I have ever had but in a city with such discriminating taste, I certainly was expecting good at least. First, we are seated promptly and given one menu for two people because they didnt have enough. This was a dead Monday night by the way. I had the pulled pork and ribs, baked beans, cole slaw, and collard greens. The food was warm at best, ribs were dry and rubber like, the pulled pork was cooked to death and drowned in to much sauce, the baked beans were crunchy, the cole slaw lacks any real flavor other than mayo, the greens were decent. My girl had the ribs and chicken combo with fries and sweet potato. She to was not very impressed with her food either. Same on ribs as above, chicken tasted like it was cooked several days before we got there, the sweet potato wasn't far from raw, and last but not least were the fries. they were over-cooked several hours before we got there and looked terrible. When I told the waitress we needed fresh fries she wanted to take the entire plate of food away just to give us good fries( remember the food wasn't hot to begin with) and this was not acceptable. So I grabbed the fries with my hand, put them in a napkin, and slapped them in the waitresses hand and told her to get the fresh fries now. Now, I work in the restaurant industry myself and am not a very tolerant person in regards to bad service and food. This place excells in both. I think I will open a real southern barbecue joint here, and if I do, Dukes is screwed. DON'T EVER GO!!!
Pros: COOL TRAILER PARK
Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE. AND I DO MEAN EVERYTHING
