I got word that a new business had opened in a spot with a great track record so I went to Crockett to have dinner at Duke's. I was greeted warmly by the sole waitress and the evenings master of ceremonies flowing effortlessly between the kitchen and tables. They helped me come to the decision of having the burger as it would be changing on the menu with the end of summer, this left room in my budget for the deviled eggs. The food was delicious! The smashed burger had a perfect balance of juicy but not overly greasy. The bacon and pickled eggs really made the deviled eggs a special dish. The ambiance is great (mostly carryover from previous restaurants) and once you get past parking in the surrounding neighborhood is a novel, intimate spot for a date. Next time I plan to try the steak! read more

I love taking myself out to dinner, and while house and dog sitting in Crockett, Dukes was at the top of my list. I'm so glad I stopped by. I visited on a Saturday around 5:45 PM and was greeted by Caroline (I hope I got her name right!). She was upbeat, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the menu. At one point she even played a song for me, which added such a personal touch to the experience. I wasn't sure which wine to choose, so she offered me a taste. I ended up going with the first selection--fresh, bright, and exactly what I was looking for. I was torn between the pizza and the hanger steak, and Caroline steered me in the right direction. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly, served with mashed potatoes and asparagus that were equally well prepared. The garlic addition brought everything together beautifully. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! The ambiance was just right. I sat at the communal table, which felt comfortable and relaxed without being too noisy. There was a bit of a wait, but the food, atmosphere, and overall experience made it well worth it. I can't wait to come back. read more

Happy Saturday June 27th, 2026 I had a wonderful dinner tonight at a new local restaurant "Dukes" Dining Hall in downtown Crockett, California. The waiter was awesome and approached my table quickly and provided a menu of some very cool and diverse choices. He explained each dish that I enquired about and patiently waited for me to choose and order. There were very good selections of beers and wines on the menu. I started with a glass of delicious smelling, tasty, full bodied California red Bordeaux blend wine with a hint of blackberry, cherry, and apple taste. Then the waiter brought me a really delicious salad with a few different fresh greens, thin radish shavings, slices of white onion and baby yellow cherry tomatos with fresh beet cubes and grapefruit segments - all drizzled in a light red wine vinegar dressing. After finishing this really tasty salad, the waiter brought me another glass of Bordeaux and then a beautiful grilled ahi tuna that I had ordered. It was cooked perfectly the medium way I like it and set on a nice sized patty of Greek Falafel that was perfectly crumbly and topped with grapefruit segments and a light dill yogurt with onion and radish slices and a hint of fennel. The taste was awesome and perfect for my dinner - see the attached mouth watering pic I'm sharing. Finally, at the waiter's recommendation, I had the tastiest baked full bodied crumbly cheesecake that I've ever tried. Finished that with my Bordeaux which smoothly went down and totally satisfied my palate. I'll definitely return there in the future. read more

Went on an early Saturday evening and were greeted quickly and we chose our table and were delivered a carafe of water by the very upbeat hostess/waitress/busser. Since she was the only front person working it took a few minutes to get our menus and the another bit of time to place our order so we ordered everything at once. My wife's agua Fresca and my glass of wine came quickly from there it was a waiting game tho. The Brussels sprouts came out first as expected so we munched on those first. Good flavor of lemon, garlic and cheese with a hint of balsamic I believe. My wife enjoyed them more than me because I tend to like mine fried not baked and a bit sweeter. Not bad tho. Then another 40-45 minutes passed before our pizza and pork chop were delivered to our table. Both super high quality. The pork chop itself was cooked perfectly and nearly melted in our mouths. But for me, the gravy was a bit too salty as was the coleslaw type of greens that the pork chop was bedded upon. There was a baked pear on the plate that did give some relief from the salt but not really enough to balance out the dish. Again high quality but just misses overall. The pepperoni pizza was top of the line and well curated. Thin slices of pepperoni that gets nicely crisped on the edges and the bold Kalamata olives and tender mushrooms on top of their nice creamy cheese, inviting red sauce and soft pizza dough was the highlight dish for me. But they really do need to make sure to turn the pizza as one side of ours was a bit charred compared to the other side. Still amazing tho. The space is nostalgic and has a big old town Crocket mural facing the front door and the tables are clean and the space is simple and inviting. I would rate Dukes higher but because if took too long to get our food it gets dropped a full star. A solid 3.5 is how I rate it now until the next time we go. Could easily be 4.5 stars so we shall see. Definitely worth a visit! read more

So Duke's is owned by the same owners as Lucia's and Olympia. Hopefully they'll be around for a while. This is their soft opening weekend. It's a huge room with a large table for sharing and smaller tables. The food was good but most of it was very rich...which after getting home, I was blah. We ordered the bone marrow, salad, short ribs and mushroom pizza. I truly enjoyed the salad and mushroom pizza (it probably could have used another minute in the oven though). In the long run, I think this will be a great upgrade to the night time dining scene! Oh, we started eating before I took pics! So, I did take pics but after we messed up the presentation! read more

I need to come back and try some other food. It's easy to pass by and not realize there's a place to order food here. It would probably be better if they had an ordering pad vs waiting for someone to come up front because it is a little confusing when you walk into the room. Staff is friendly. They need a large menu and sign posted on the window same street side as Lucia's I think. They have gluten free crepes, came with pistachios on it vs. hazelnut which was fine with us, though they should probably tell people in case they want to skip the switch. The blackberry sauce needed some work and I think should be on the side because they made it soggy. I think crepe is the wrong description, but it was nice to see a gluten free option available. Curious to try their other food. Ambiance is nice, very cute spot. read more

Brunch was funkin fabulous! Me and my friends went this morning and ate very well. We had the breakfast sandwich, two egg meal, breakfast burrito, chilaquiles, mimosa and two French press coffees. My only critique is my toast could have been toastier, but other than that everything was delicious and plated beautifully. I will be back for brunch with my buddies again. read more

We love their veggie breakfast burrito & the hostess with the bangs who works on Saturdays is super friendly, inclusive (asked us about religious dietary restrictions), & makes our visits so much better :) read more

This restaurant is a gem! We went for dinner, and we were hoping for a good meal - no go: it is GREAT. The ahi poke (an appetizer) was fabulous; the tuna was amazing, and the chips were gorgeous. We both had the smash burgers and they were perfection! Finally we had the cornmeal orange cake - over the moon for this, and I recommended it to a couple seated nearby and they loved it too. Our server was outstanding - professional, warm and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was casual, but I have to say the meal was perfection. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Ok. I don't understand why people aren't flocking to Dukes. Just had my third dinner there over the past month. Tonight I kept it to the appetizers. Roasted carrots with hazelnut, dates and yogurt sauce. Roasted brussel sprouts with bacon, chili and garlic. Hawaiian poke with avocado, wasabi mayo and pickled cucumber. Out of this world!! Every taste perfect. My dining partners had the bacon pizza , the other the off the menu smash burger. The pizzas are wood fire, 10", and delicious. Not overly packed with ingredients with unique combos. But the smash burger was amazing. I'm not a huge burger fan but the grind was a tasty combo, it was crispy and at the same time moist. The fries remained crisp to the last one. Once again, I forgot pictures! Please make Duke's a great off the cuff destination in the sweet town of Crockett read more

OMG! This smash burger is easily the best I've ever had. This restaurant has recently open and might I say hit the ground running. You can taste the quantity in the ingredients. The dining space is open and clean. Randy the owner goes above and beyond. Did I menthe smash burger? It likely on the secret menu , but ask about it! The menu has some staples and some rotating items. All dishes have an elevated feel! It's a must try ! read more

One of my favorite spots to go for a night out; the short drive to Crockett is just long and scenic enough for me to feel like we somewhere different. Duke's casual but trendy atmosphere makes it great for friends and family or date night. You can tell they take pride in what they're doing; service is attentive without being over the top, and everything felt relaxed and comfortable. The food is excellent: fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Portions are solid with both every day fare for picky eaters and things the foodie in your group will like as well. Really glad to have a place like this nearby. We'll definitely be back and I'd happily recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a restaurant that just gets everything right. If you like supporting local small businesses then give em a try. read more

Hands down the best food in the area- elevated in every way with zero pretension. Incredible service. Always clean.

The staff was very kind and attentive during our visit. However, the food was disappointing. My salmon was much saltier than expected, and my husband's pizza had a strand of hair in it. While we appreciated the friendly service, the food quality fell short of what we were hoping for. read more

Great atmosphere and fabulous food. We were greeted right away by the server and sat down where we wanted. Our food was amazing and the people working there were very kind. A must go to place AND we were shocked at the price. We never eat out for food like we were served for less than $150. Our bill? $60. Good food and affordable prices?!?! A hidden gem in Crockett if you ask me. read more

AMAZING FOOD!! We had the melt in your mouth short ribs, delicious Italian white bean soup, house made pasta, a beautiful refreshing salad, and the Myer lemon tart. Everything was off the charts yummy and fresh, the service was on point, and the location is in a cool historic building in "downtown" Crockett. Totally recommend!!!
