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.

Food was good although the beef stroganoff came without the mushrooms it was supposed to have. My husband had the lamb stew and enjoyed that.Is this helpful?

We went in for Thanksgiving because it's been so busy and we didn't want to cook. We started with the grilled octopus and it was delicious. Even better were the potato pancakes with duck. Very moist and delicious. The bummer were the muscles. They were not fresh and tasted past their prime. The turkey dinners were amazing and came with copious amounts of food. The schnitzel was awesome as was the German sausage platter. We had the apple strudel and tiramisu cheesecake form dessert. Very good, and we will go back, but I wouldn't recommend the muscles. Server and ambiance were also solid!Is this helpful?

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.Is this helpful?

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.Is this helpful?

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!Is this helpful?
