Dukes Fish and Chicken

I actually was going to try the Jamaican place next door but they had a sign saying they were opening late that day so Dukes was a second choice. It was 11:00 and there were people waiting for the place to open. That's definitely a good sign. Once the place opened everyone ordered the tilapia. Hmmm. They didn't have to twist my arm.

So for $7.99 I got a generous serving of nicely seasoned grilled tilapia. This was served on a bed of rice pilaf and some salad. Very good.

The place is a small fast food specializing in fish and chicken but they have an extensive fast food menu. Only negative for me is that they don't accept plastic. I always use plastic. I'm like the George Clooney character in the movie who is obsessed with earning miles on credit cards.

A friend of mine told me about the grilled tilapia.  It comes with a salad & red beans/rice.  I am hooked.  They also have grilled salmon & jumbo shrimp.  Duke's does have the typical fried menu but so much more. Also, try the fried green tomatoes.  The owner used to have this restaurant near Northwestern University.  Their loss is our gain (here in the South Suburbs).  This is my favorite carry-out place to eat...hands-down!
