I wanted to give St Louis BBQ another chance while I was in town, and this was close to the highway. I realized when I pulled up that I had been there before, but I was already there. When you walk in you order at the counter, I opted to get it to go. I ordered the Dirty Mustache sandwich; smoked brisket and sausage with a beer cheese sauce and crispy onion strings. I also got the side of beans. The sandwich was large and on a hoagie bun. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The sausage had a nice snap and was cut lengthwise to fit the bun. The beans were good, tender with a tangy sauce. This place is better than the bigger named options in the region. read more

I was in the area and could smell the bbq so I decided to try the brisket. It was super tender but too much fat but overall good. Customer service was very good and there's a parking lot. read more

Second time trying Dukes! Both have been for takeout though so it's not the same experience as eating it right away. Got the brisket and chicken and both were great (tender and good flavour), the BBQ sauce was really flavourful as well. Placed the order online and was ready a bit earlier than the estimated time. There's plenty of seating inside and the decor looks really cool. Would definitely try to eat here next time (too bad they're closed on Sundays!) read more

Enjoyed the cooler weather by sitting on Dukes patio for lunch today. Lots of outdoor seating and fans going and music playing. I had the pulled pork sandwich and my husband had ribs and wings. All of it was delicious! Service was fast for lunch and delivered to the table with a smile! read more

YUM!!! If you are looking for the most tenderest, flavorful brisket, look no further! We tried the Dukes Plate which came with a variety of meats and 2 sides. Beans and cole slaw are my go to sides, and boy, did they hit the spot! I am not really a pulled meats person, but the pulled meats here did not disappoint. The seating area inside is somewhat small and cozy. Service was quick! Definitely worth a try! read more

We had been seeing reviews and decided to give it a try. We had to get the brisket ragoon. We got the dirty mustache and the dirty bird. You place your order at the counter. The lady explained the menu and took our order. We took a seat and they brought our food to our table. The seating area was a little small but everything tasted great. read more

SO VERY GOOD! From the apps we ordered, to the sandwiches, and all the sides too, everything was extremely tasty. The service was friendly, yet efficient. The ambiance is lovely. And there are so many more menu items that I'd love to try. That Alabama BBQ sauce is da BEST! It's a really long drive for me, but I figure it's a good place to hit up when I'm out this way for other reasons... read more

Duke's was an impressive bbq spot and a new local go-to for us. The service was great, the owner was so friendly, and the restaurant felt like a modern chain in its elevated marketing and decor, but yet is a one stop spot. Loved: the Dirty Mustache sandwich and Mac and cheese. I got the sandwich on Texas Toast which I highly recommend. The Mac and cheese has a really good smoked flavor Liked: the ribs had a really great flavor, but weren't fall off the bone. Otherwise, so good! read more

The ambience of the place is very cool for a bbq joint! Incredibly clean and well maintained! This was our first time and the service was great! She recommended a few things and explained all the special; all with great enthusiasm! The food was pretty good. I'm not a big fan of sloppy bbq which was perhaps my fault for ordering what I did. The ribs had a bit more fat than I like too, but both the pulled pork and ribs were tasty just not my preference. My dad loved the bbq wontons though! I think they recommended the bbq tacos (which they only serve on Tuesday) and supposedly they are the bomb. Def will try them next time! read more

Duke's reputation as a BBQ icon is well deserved. They have a wide variety of great meat choices, all of which are smoked to perfection without being dry. I enjoyed the Brisket and the Pulled Chicken, but the sausage is also great. The sides are delicious as well. I had pit style beans and Potaoe Casserole. I was blown away by both, they were excellent. It's a fast casual format where you order and pay and then sit down as they bring your food. There is a decent amount of seating but groups could be a challenge. I did see seating outside as well. The staff is awesome, and there are a lot of reasons to come here many times. read more

It's generally easy to tell how much love and care goes into a BBQ joint as there is no substitute for attention and time to produce good BBQ. Dukes delivers with only a few minor exception's. We ordered the Shack Pack: 1/2 Lb Smoked Chicken + 1/2 Lb Brisket + 1/2 Lb Pork + 1/2 Slab Ribs ( 2 Sides ) ( + 2 Desserts ) $59.99 Says feeds 4-6, our family of 4 couldn't finish. They were out of chicken and allowed us to substitute burnt ends (but let us know they would normally up charge for that). The woman who took our order said we could do 2 sides and 2 desserts or 3 sides and 1 dessert. We elected the latter but when we went up to ask about our dessert a different woman working the counter said dessert was only included if ordering 2 sides. So that was disappointing as we wanted to try the butter cake everyone seems to like. We elected not to complain but we also weren't willing to spend more. Brisket and pulled pork were great, burnt ends were slightly dry but still awesome. The ribs were not the fall of the bone tender type which some people prefer but slightly toothy which I prefer. Mac and cheese was so-so, but Smoky Gouda Potato Casserole was tremendous (think smoked au gratin). Corn bread had great flavor but we found it slightly gummy and perhaps not super freshly made. read more

I wanted to like this place more than i did but at the end of the day I had to use plenty of bbq sauce and sweet tea to eat my meal. I ordered the Duke's plate and a sausage as an add on. The sausage had a good snap and was quite tasty. The rest of my meats were too dry. The flavor was there and I could see how on a good day this would probably be an excellent place, but my $40 plate after tip wasn't doing it for me today. I will probably try it again to be fair and to try the wings. They have several wing contest trophies by the register, so maybe that's the thing to try. It's otherwise a cool looking place with friendly service. My rating would be between a 3 and a 4, probably a 3.7 or so. read more

Once again, Yelp does not disappoint! We asked for BBQ in the area and Dukes was one place we liked immediately. This place was a real find - great service and the aroma that invaded our bodies was incredible. Being on the road, we chose to eat light. The menu looked terrific, however! We chose a Pulled Pork sandwich with Gouda Potato Casserole along with a Brisket Sandwich with Mac & Cheese. Everything was excellent and came out quickly. read more

I tried Dukes Bbq today for the first time and was impressed. All of the meats had great flavor and the 3 different sauces they offer bourbon bbq, spicy, and sweet & spicy were all delicious. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are at a country bbq venue and they even have a hand washing station which is perfect before and after using your hands to eat. The employees were all super nice and after ordering they bring your food to you and even took the trays after I was finished. read more

We ordered up at the counter and found a table right away. They do have plenty of patio seating. We ordered the brisket and mac n cheese. The brisket was tender and juicy. The Mac n cheese was alright as came out lukewarm. A different side I would highly recommend is their smoky Gouda potato casserole! It was a sliced potatoes smothered with Gouda cheese. Creamy and gooey. The sandwich we ordered was Brisco. It had wagyu beef patty and brisket with cheese added with their specialty sauce. It was so tasty and extremely filling. Another highly recommend restaurant. read more

Had the dirty mustache sandwich, the brisket and sausage were quite tasty, moist and filling! The smoked Mac and cheese was good. The sticky baked beans were excellent! Give them a try! read more

Ordering was easy at the counter the staff was friendly. I had a barbecued pork sandwich it was really good. The potato salad left a little to be desired not much flavor there. That's all I had so that's all I can comment on. When I go out to lunch barbecue is not one of the first places I pick but I thought since Dukes had a great reputation I would try it once. Wasn't too bad read more

We came in kinda close to closing but we didn't know yall would close so early. I loved the burnt end Rangoons!!! The Mac n cheese was dry idk if that's normal or if you were closing. My grilled cheese was really good it was kinda cold. Portions seemed small. Staff was EXTREMELY kind and attentive. Ambiance was also good. Clean, cute, and bbqesque read more

Not happy. Can't get ahold of anyone to place an order. Had to go elsewhere. Heard this place was good but ended up going to some place in Eureka called Super Smokers. They were actually really good. read more

What better way to end a work week than with BBQ! Dukes BBQ Shack (DBS) has been on the radar for some time and finally got the opportunity to try it out. Located in Wentzville, MO just west of St. Louis , DBS is legit BBQ. I've had my fair share of BBQ across the country and Dukes is right at the top of the list. DBS has the traditional brisket and pork you see at many bbq restaurants, but what sets them differently from other is their smoked chicken! Deliciously seasoned, moist and tender I, couldn't stop eating it. Brisket and pork items (pulled and ribs) were also very good. In fact, a top contender in the state . Finally the brisket, I made the mistake of thinking I needed a fork to cut the brisket into pieces. Brisket was perfectly tender and what I expected in great bbq. Now to the sauces, DBS brought out the big guns of Sauces deliciousness. From traditional sweet, spicy and mustard bbq sauces you expect DBS went nuts and made a awesome horseradish bbq sauce with the perfect combination of spicy and sweet to complement anything served on you tray! BDS has plenty of seating options inside and outside. They also have an old fashioned decorative sink to wash hands after a great food battle. Tables were serviced quickly and staff provided excellent service and goes out of their way to answer any questions regarding their menus or general bbq questions. Duke's BBQ Shack is legit. I can't wait to come back and enjoy more of their menu once the weather warms up and sit outside with a beer. Give them a try if you're in the areas!! read more

Just OK. Brisket was dry and not warm. Beef ribs were hit and miss. Baked beans were excellent, potato salad mushy, Cole slaw average. Should be much better than what we experienced. read more

A solid BBQ joint in STL with delicious sides and sauces. I got the rib plate with potato salad and smoked Mac and cheese. While the ribs weren't fall off the bone tender they were good - and the gal helping at the counter was super friendly. Also they had a hand washing sink in the dining area! That alone was A+ on the ambiance. Nothing worse than having to wait for a restroom sink to clean up after eating ribs. read more

I have Yelp users to thank, for finding this place. I was driving to Illinois from KC Missouri, to hunt with my Father-in-Law, and I was starving. I wanted wings real bad, but didn't want anything fried...so I searched for wing in Yelp. I was coming up on Wentzville, and Duke's BBQ popped up as a choice and highlighted their Smoked Drummies. Maaan, they were so good that I earmarked that place for LIFE, HaHa. Anytime I'm through that area, I stop and grab the smoked dummies...I can only imagine how good the rest of the menu is, based on the wings! read more

SO. FREAKIN. GOOD. The burnt ends. The ribs. Smoked wings. GET THE GOUDA POTATO CASSEROLE. I really don't think I could say enough about here.

We ate at Dukes this past week. Wednesday because it was rib day. Our son had been wanting to try it. I love burnt ends and unfortunately they don't have them. But the Rodeo sandwich was very close. I feel this is the best BBQ in the St Louis area. Our table had two kind of wings, Mac n cheese, cheesy potatoes and the green beans. All were fire!!!!! The staff was very friendly. Cute location. read more

We are new to the Wentzville area and we're craving good barbecue. Duke did not disappoint. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back.

I'm a big fan of Dukes bbq. On this particular day my nephew and I decided to order their bbq nachos and their whiskey wagyu burger. The whiskey burger was a great tasting burger, however I would have liked to see the patties a little bit thicker and their nachos were delicious. All of the food, came out quickly so there wasn't a long wait time and their staff was super friendly. read more

Very casual!! Laid back & friendly servers. Great food. I'm glad they post in the door if they are out of a certain food item.

Ahhhhhmazing! Just when I thought I've had the best barbecue in St. Louis in Saint Charles county I realize how wrong I am. Dukes is my new favorite after only 2 visits - one on a Saturday night and the next following Tuesday. It was THAT good! Best burnt ends ever & the ribs are outstanding. read more
