Dukes Bar & Grille

Wow... I was blown away by the awesome views, great beer selection and general atmosphere.

The food had its high and lows.
High points:
The wings were very tasty. I got the river sauce and it was freakin awesome, I could get it again for sure!
The Crab Pretzel thing... very good and it is large, def could be a meal.

Low points:
The crab burger was super dry. The meat patties were dry, there was no sauce on the burger at all. One would think there would be. The patties looked like they were frozen in shape and only cost 4.99 for 3 dozen and where purchased at Sam's Club.

The service was mediocre at best. They do not take reservations, and they couldn't tell you how long the wait would be. Not even a general idea, like 15-25 min, or and hour or so... nothing. I have never been in a restaurant who couldn't tell you that... Not even an idea.

There were about 10 of us and 3 showed up early to put our name down, the rest of the group showed up about 15 min later. After about 40 min after the first group showed up their pager went off and we all thought we were going to be seated. Nope. They just wanted to confirm everyone was here so now we could be put in line for a table. About an hour later we were seated. Kinda ridiculous.

Very disappointing.  Given this place 3-4 chances, purely because of the view of the city and deck, but will not go back.  The drinks are absolutely terrible.  The mojito, G&T, mango margarita and normal margaritas all tasted sooo watered down.  Besides that, the mint and garnishes they use are flippin disgusting.  Exactly what I want in my mojito, a disgusting, entirely black stem of mint...

The food is all very heavy and mostly fried.  The crabby fries are really good, we get them every time.  The crab pretzel was also really, really good.  Its a shame, the place just has a boring menu, terrible drinks, and its like the bartenders know the drinks suck.

Great food and helpful staff...expect to spend $40 for lunch/dinner
