Grand Dukes Restaurant serves unique and comforting Lithuanian and eastern European cuisine in its impressive and rustic eatery. Starters such as the Lithuanian potato nachos topped with beer cheese sauce, bacon and jalapenos and the potato pancakes with sour cream and applesauce, are perfect introductions to Dukes' style of cuisine. Some of Grand Dukes Restaurant's house specialties include the pierogi dumplings with potato and onions topped with a sour cream bacon sauce, the crispy chicken Kiev filled with garlic butter and the salmon in envelope with sliced potatoes, leeks, and creamy dill sauce. Sandwiches, such as the veal wiener schnitzel with Swiss cheese on brioche, the classic Rueben and the breaded pork cutlet belly buster sandwich with garlic sauce, are customer favorites and are ideal with a European beer. Grand Dukes Restaurant also hosts live music events every Friday and Saturday, which perfectly complements the already-merry atmosphere.

    The live singer was very loud and I could barely hear my family. The server kept forgetting things that we had ordered and we had to remind him a couple of times.

    Every time the door opened from outside we all froze, the wind whips right on the dining tables. The noise and music were overwhelming from the restaurant AND the banquet hall room connected to restaurant. Can not hear or talk in the restaurant, and that was before the live music for the restaurant began. Food service took too long.

    I wanted to experience food such as boursh and schnitzel. Always heard of it, but never sounded appetizing. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious!! Drinks were very good as well. I had a French martini and it was so good. We will go back to try some other dishes on the menu!

    Grand Duke's is a lively restaurant featuring standard Eastern European fare. The portions are generous, but not special. Prices are moderate, and service is solid.

    Been going to Grand Dukes for years now. This time had fried calamari, grilled octopus, various soups, schnitzels, zeppelin, perogi, and sausages. Everything was great.

    We’re big fans of Grand Dukes and took the in-laws to dinner. While they are not adventurous eaters I knew everyone would find something for their tastes. We had the fried bread on special which was garlicky and cheesy. I had never ordered it and it was a great appetizer for the table. I love the Sauerkraut Soup and it’s the right balance of sour, salt, and savory. Service was attentive and very engaged with the table. Everyone took some of their food home for the next day since portions are generous. Thanks for a great meal, Grand Dukes! We’ll be back.
