The best ribs ever
“Duke’s ‘falling off the bone’ barbecue ribs are the best I’ve ever had, confirmed for me after having the ribs at both The County Line and Salt Lick restaurants in Austin, Texas.”

Made on the premises
“The hamburgers are done individually, to order. The bread is all fresh, baked on the premises from freshly mixed dough. You get the idea; everything is made there with fresh ingredients.”

Can’t be beat!
“The Duke’s has a daily “Early Bird Special” you just can’t beat. Show me ANYTHING that matches this 1/4 rack special I had today… in Chiang Mai, Bangkok, or anywhere in Thailand.”

I’ll be back!
“The 6PM specials… service was great, size of food very good and tasty, for a great price. The lasagna special is more than enough food because they add a salad and Italian bread.”

Not All 5 Stars

We take the heat. Bring it to the table

“Call this ‘garlic’ bread? 🤣🤣🤣”
Update after restaurant reply: Obviously they conveniently don’t explain the very minimal garlic on the bread: you have to find it with a microscope!

“A one-word reply from the manager: ‘hahaha.’”
I recently contacted this establishment to inquire about booking a table for Christmas dinner and received a one-word reply from the manager, Dave: “hahaha.”
Read it all
There was no explanation, no clarification, and no follow-up. This response came across as dismissive, rude, and highly unprofessional, especially in relation to a genuine inquiry for a special occasion.
Based on this experience, I was genuinely appalled by the manager’s response and the lack of basic professionalism. I would urge others to be aware of this level of customer service before deciding to book.

“Our last meal here out of principle”
I have eaten at dukes a number times and have loved the food and service however, I just had a meal with some friends there and was disgusted to have to watch the EXPAT Owner verbally abuse some of his staff in front our group and other dinners.
Read it all
I feel terribly sorry in general, for the staff who have to work for a boss like that but specifically, how they were spoken to with such profanity. The owner (whose pictures are all over the walls) is sub human. My friends and I agree, we have all consumed our last meal here out of principle.

“This place has turned into a rip off”
We wanted a late lunch, early dinner so were there about 3 pm or so. I always came here for the Australian steak in the years before covid. Expensive at about 900 baht pp but that’s the price I also pay in Pattaya nowadays and then.
Read it all
So, went inside and noticed the complete new renovation, sat down and got the menu. Very surprised to see the price for the prime steak doubled to 1800 Baht pp 😲. Still deciding we asked for a glass of wine. Couldn’t do because not 5pm yet 🤔😜. Couldn’t believe my ears. This rule is for shops etc, not for restaurants! So we decided this place has turned into a rip off and left. There are way better places in CM. Their prices overal are ludicrously expensive. I’m not kin niauw but also not stupid. Ciao ciao 😉🙏

“Very bland tasting”
Have been in Thailand for a month. Craving some Italian food. We ordered a pizza and lasagna. Both didn’t have much for seasoning or flavouring. Very bland tasting. Very disappointed and won’t go back.
Google review
“Very poor and inefficient parking”
Very poor and inefficient parking space for a restaurant of this size. Cars were parked in a way that takes up unneccesary space. No security guard or employee to help or facilitate the car parking process as well.
