One of the few dinner options in the area and an excellent choice. INTERIOR/AMBIANCE: We arrived soon after opening and were seated quickly. There are a moderate number of seats available, but the restaurant filled up quickly. Clean interior, basic decor. FOOD: Very limited menu, no alcohol. We ordered the ravioli and sage chicken. The ravioli was delicious with a nice cream sauce, we enjoyed the addition of the sun dried tomatoes. The chicken was also delicious, stuffed with a mixture which included sage to impart more sage flavor. The chicken dish was accompanied by a generous scoop of flavored rice and Brussels sprouts cooked with dried cranberries. OVERALL: We were very pleased with the meal and full afterwards. Service was good. Overall solid meal! read more

We celebrated our 10th anniversary at Duke's and what an excellent choice! The service was excellent and the food was incredibly delicious and artful. We had the crabmeat "boats" for an appetizer, which was a halved avocado (2 boats - one per half) overflowing with the crabmeat and jicama shreds, flavored with mango sauce, cayenne, and paprika. It was superb!!! My husband had their signature burger, which also had a delicious array of seasonings and mango sauce on a pretzel roll. I had their salmon, which was a generous slab of salmon accompanied by asparagus and roasted cauliflower (I opted to switch the potatoes for cauliflower). Honestly, this was a special meal for us and Duke's made it an excellent evening. read more

Duke's - Crabmeat Boat - New American Near Me - Bluff, Utah

This review is LONG over due! After finding ourselves "stuck" celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary at Duke's back in April of 2023 we now make special arrangements to stay at Desert Rose Resort & Cabins in Bluff at least three or four times during their open season. I would say if there is any bad review is that they are not open year round! Every single item on the menu, and we have had them all numerous different times, are all outstanding! The chef has taken flavors you would never expect, the Wild Mushroom Raviolis for example, and has created outstanding, one of a kind dishes that are always made with the outmost attention to detail. This is a Michelin Star worthy Chef hidden in Bluff, Utah. I promise if you make the trip not only is the scenery worth it, you will experience one of the best meals of your life. Lastly, it does not have a lot of seating especially if the patio is not open so be patient, it is worth it I promise! read more

Great food for almost anywhere, but considering that you are in the middle of nowhere it is really surprising. The rolls were phenomenal. Seriously. Rolls. We had the salmon and the prime rib and both were good. They come with so many sides that you don't need to order an appetizer and we were too full for dessert. The kitchen is small so we waited about 45 minutes for a table but it was worth it. read more

The food was fantastic- salmon steak with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus with a sauce over the salmon. The service was great too! Dessert was a perfect way to finish the meal. read more

Dukrs was wonderful. We placed on our name on a waitlist and checked into our cabin on the premises. When we arrived at the restaurant we were attended quickly and even though it was close to closing, we didn't feel rushed. The food was wonderful and the presentation was a delight. We did return on our trip back and the stay and food were just as good. The staff and our waitress were a delight with just the right amount of attentiveness. read more

Duke's - Chicken n Brussel Sprouts n rice pilaf - New American Near Me - Bluff, Utah

Wow! I was so pleasantly surprised by Dukes. The food and service were top-notch. I expect there is no better dinner experience in a 100-mile radius. The servers were friendly and accommodated my particular requests. My wife had a Caprese, which had nice ripe tomatoes and some very savory balsamic. I had the avocado crab boat appitiser. It was simply scrumptious, and they did not scrimp on the crab. The appetisers were so big that we split the salmon entre. The salmon seemed fresh and had a nice crispy sear. Everything was seasoned nicely except for the asparagus. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. read more

Great Dinner spot in Bluff UT! Service, food and Atmosphere was excellent. We were fortunate to have excellent company during our dining experience which always elevates things. I wish they had a couple more options on their menu, but everything they do have appeared delicious based on our experience. 3 out of the 4 of us had the salmon and it was absolutely delicious, one in our party had the wild Mushroom Ravioli and it was also delicious. Highly recommend if you are in the area and are looking for a beautiful dinner out. read more

Service was friendly and very attentive. Nice ambiance - we sat inside, the outside patio looked great but it was a little too hot for us to sit out there. The food was amazing. The crab boat - crab salad in an avocado with a mango dressing with a hint of cayenne was out of this world - the best appetizer I've ever had and there were two served both were of good size, not at all skimpy. The sage infused chicken was very good and my husband had the salmon which he said was cooked just right. Portions were good sized also. Would definitely stop here for dinner if you are in the area. read more

Was on a road trip with my son and we came across Dukes. Nice location, tasty food including Duck Bacon, pretty pricey

Great food (we all enjoyed), relaxing atmosphere and excellent service! Would gladly eat here again.

We were staying nearby and stopped in for dinner. Outside seating looked great but sun was going down and temps with it so we sat inside. Nice dining room but the lighting is stark, not very welcoming. It was also disappointing no alcohol served here, I like a glass of wine or a bourbon sometimes. Good menu but very small. 5 entrees to choose from. I had the salmon, it was a generous piece with good flavor but salty. Husband had the burger with just cheese but he barely ate it. Something about the seasoning of the meat he didn't like but he enjoyed the fries. Staff was very nice but doubt we will be back. read more

We are staying at the Desert Rose Inn for a couple of nights heading to Monument Valley and Valley of the gods, Dukes is truly a hidden gem! The service, food, and atmosphere are all on point! My husband and I had the garden salads, wild mushroom ravioli, and sage infused chicken. The presentation of the entrees was absolutely beautiful! I would highly recommend Dukes if you are in Bluff , Utah! read more

Such a diamond in the rough. Middle of nowhere, small town and this place pops up. I know it has to be hard to have survived the pandemic but yet they did and we were so happy about it. Really delicious food, great staff. I had the caprese salad and cauliflower soup one night and the next night, I had the salmon. Both excellent. My partner had the filet mignon and it made his eyes roll back in his head. read more

Had an excellent dinner at Duke's. The crab avocado salad was delicious. Staff very pleasant. Highly recommend this restaurant

Avocado crab was amazing. Loved the place, the owner and the history but it was oddly quiet.

This was one of the most pleasant surprises I have ever encountered in all my years of travel and it is located in a very small town that happens to be very convenient while visiting Southeast Utah and Canyonlands and Trail of the Ancients. The food was incredible and the service as well. Order the crab and artichoke appetizer and the wild mushroom ravioli. You can thank me later. The Desert Rose Inn which this is attached to was outstanding as well. Clean, very nice, and well appointed. read more

One night stop at the Desert Rose Inn and Duke's is on the property. We went for convenience of a short walk and not sure what to expect. Limited menu but don't be fooled, the food is FANTASTIC!! Roasted Brussels sprouts for appetizer were very tasty. Dinner dishes - salad, wild mushroom raviolis, salmon, and a burger were nicely presented and delicious. Then the caramel brownie cheesecake for desert was as tasty as it sounds. The staff was very friendly and the facility top notch. We highly recommend this dinner spot!! read more

Incredible food and friendly staff at a gorgeous location. I can't imagine getting something here I didn't love. Wouldn't imagine ordering deviled eggs out, but the pickled onion and lemon zest make the dish. The jicama tacos user a paper thin slice of jicama to transport perfectly seasoned beef. The mahi mahi with poblano cream was excellent. The mango puree really makes the burger unique. The Brussels sprouts and cauliflower were perfectly prepared and flavorful. read more

It's impossible to gauge the quality of the food or service at Dukes, as it's closed in winter months. What does their website say? "Dukes is open for Breakfast and Dinner". Actually, it's not. I hope their attention to detail is better when the restaurant is actually open. read more

Just FYI, they don't have a wine & beer license, don't plan to get one, made a judge-mental () comment on why I needed to have a drink and then suggested we go to the steakhouse in town. Only opened a short time after numerous years hiatus - probably won't last long. Needless to say, didn't eat here so won't comment on the food. The previous reviews are 2 to 5 years old read more

They were the only open place in town tonight. I will NOT recommend the NY strip. My wife was happy with the burger and fries. The service is super friendly but they are short staffed and much of their seating is closed because of it. They serve about 30 people at a time now, we had a 35 min wait after ordering before we got our food. read more

Not much to eat around this area but this spot really takes the cake. Great service, delicious food and good portions. Had the cauliflower soup and ravioli entree. Both were delicious. I see people complained about the prices, but for what we got, I thought it was fair given that you can't get food like this anywhere else in the area. read more

We came into town late and there were no other restaurants open. I wasn't sure what to expect. The food turned out to be excellent and the service was wonderful. We really enjoyed our dinner. read more

Best food in the area. Everything from rolls to appetizers to mains are soooo flavorful. We drove over 60 miles and totally worth it. It is a dry establishment but their fresh brewed ice tea did the trick. read more

Ate there the other night after four days on the river. Everything was awesome. Waitress/manager was also awesome. She didn't blink when I asked for roasted cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes. They have an all indigenous kitchen and I can't wait until our next trip to see what they do with the menu. Would be super cool if they incorporate some native dishes. Anyway our meal was amazing!!! read more

I had the wild mushroom ravioli, it was pretty good, sauce was excellent.. however, Ravioli was stuffed with mushrooms which had a nutmeg flavoring to it which I really did not care for. Also had the cauliflower soup which I did not care for as well, this was pretty disappointing. read more

Such wonderful food & service. We came in after a long day at Mesa Verde Park. Our family of four had salads, ribeye, & sage chicken. Everything was wonderful and staff was so friendly & helpful. Sadly we have to leave before breakfast opens to make tour at 8AM over hour away. They offered muffins made this morning which is great. Now we have breakfast issue solved thanks to the great staff! read more

Great food great service. When in Bluff you should eat here. Atmosphere is awesome as well.

OMG! The food was amazing! We were the only ones in the restaurant first thing on a Wednesday evening. We ordered the sage infused chicken, the salmon, and the rib eye steak. Every dish and sides were exceptional. Did not expect to find such fine food in such a small town. I've had good food in five star restaurants that didn't taste this great and were way more expensive. We finished off the meal with blueberry cheesecake, chocolate mousse, and coffee all of which were as great as the entrees. I've got to get the recipe for the fig reduction sauce with the ribeye - truly delicious! The staff was amazing and friendly too. Would love to come here again but we are from Washington. read more

Good quality food. Service a wee bit slow but fine. Not many places to eat in Bluff but luckily this place is good. Note that no alcoholic drinks are served but this was great for me because I can't take alcohol so I enjoyed the nonalcoholic beers. We had breakfast 2x here and dinner - all meals were good. Recommend the waffles! read more

We had low expectations of this restaurant attached to the Desert Inn hotel (you know how those can be). But wow, the food was just fabulous, even accounting for an abbreviated menu. My salmon was exquisite, and my husband's sage-infused chicken was perfection. Apple blossom for dessert was amazing. Waitstaff was exactly one person, but you never would have known it. Superb in every way. Go when you're in town!! read more

AMAZING food and great service! The atmosphere is just what we needed from a long drive from Arizona to Colorado! The staff and owner, Omar, are SO friendly and kind. We always stop in Bluff on our way to CO. and make it our midpoint stop at Duke's located at the AMAZING Desert Rose Resort and Cabins - we stay there too(the rooms are a five star). read more

Excellent place Nice setting to watch a beautiful sunset. The steak and roasted vegetables was fantastic. The dessert was very good. This was as good as any big city resturant and prices were good. For a out of the way place I highly recommend it. read more

We really enjoyed the food here while staying at the Desert Rose Resort. I have a restrictive gluten free diet and the majority of their menu was gluten free. We ate here twice for supper and twice for breakfast. Nothing disappointed. My aunt especially enjoyed the desserts. The cinnamon ice cream was delicious! Service was also very friendly. read more
