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.

It felt like I was at a loud Lithuanian wedding where I didn't know anyone. The poerogi was served as glop in a dish coated w/some kind of cheese/tomato sauce. The pork inside the golubki was a disturbing color of pink & the sauerkraut soup tasted like a bland chicken soup a nursing home might serve. The hot borscht soup with meatballs was the only dish we enjoyed.Is this helpful?

This is authentic, outstanding Eastern European cuisine. It will be a long time before you can eat supermarket frozen pierogies after you’ve been here. The portions are enormous, so come hungry or take home your leftovers in a box. The service is attentive and welcoming. It is noisy on a Saturday night especially when the live music starts. If you want to focus on conversation, come for lunch (same menu) when it is quieter. A real gem conveniently located. We’ll be back.Is this helpful?

Grand Duke’s was delicious! They offer so many dishes and many combination plates so you can taste everything. It was lively and the place was packed. They had live music that started around 7pm. Everything was great except at the end of our meal, we were rushed out. We weren’t able to finish our beers because they needed the table. Not a lovely ending to our experience.Is this helpful?

The food here is always excellent! I'm not sure there is a bad dish on the menu. I loved the liver dumpling soup and the polish plater, the stuffed cabbage rolls are a must as well! And our server, Daniella, was amazing! Thoughtful, helpful, and prompt. I'll be back again and again.Is this helpful?
