Buffalo chicken wrap was very good. My husband’s French dip was also good. The tator tots could have been cooked a little more for my liking. Next time I will ask for extra crispy if possible.

Went Friday night before Cards game. Loud, crappy, PA music. Food better than it needs to be. Great service. Free shuttle to the game is awesome. Driver is very fun and kind.

Not sure how long Duke's has been around, been going to Soulard for 15+ years and this was my first time after just learning about it. Very cool little bar. Tons of old school adornments, lots of wood work. Feels like an old German bar. Big bar in the middle surround by seating on the edges. Likely not great for large groups. Beer selection was pretty standard. They did appear to have a shuttle to Blues games.

The food was great! Fantastic burger. Service was a bit slow considering that we were there at the start of lunch service. Wik definitely return.

This is my go-to for good music and good food and an occasional adult beverage. I really enjoy the soup of the day no matter what else I order.

Ok this was a hidden gem to me and boy WHAT A FIND!!!!!! The atmosphere is so personable....from the bartenders to the security guard they treated us like we owned the place and gave top notch service. Now let’s talk food...the beef philly soup (mouth watering), the Cajun popcorn which is fried crawfish tails (crunchy, flavorful, and once you pop you just don’t want to stop!!!), the French dip (BEST DIP HANDS DOWN!!!!), and the salad (simple but amazing...they make their own ranch and I could have drank it up by itself) THIS PLACE IS A MUST GO!!!!! Update: went back the next day! Because I needed pictures gumbo was bland but wings and French dip were still very much AMAZING!!!! I won’t take away any stars because customer service is better than chic fil a and they are hard to beat
