Dukes Bar-B-Que

Pork BBQ was my favorite, but honestly everything was really good. Fried okra, corn bites, sweet potato, and chicken were all definitely worth getting. Price can't be beat. Even included drink and dessert!

This makes the first time I have eaten at Dukes Bar-B-Que in their new restaurant and the first time without my Mother who passed August 31, 2019. She and I ate there July 3,2015 this time I ate there with my husband both times with my Mom at the original building and this time in the new building with my husband of 7 years, the food was just simply the best! The staff are wonderful, loving, kind and caring people! The food, like I said is out of this world! wonderfully great and worth every cent. The new building is even better than the old one and it's beautiful to us. The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. I would recommend Dukes Bar-B-Que to everyone and we will go back as often as we can as soon as we can. Just one suggestion, make sure you go with an empty stomach the food is just that good! The owners and staff are just simply the best.

I am so happy that Dukes has re-opened. My family and I have been eating there since they first came to Aiken. They have always had great food in a family-friendly environment. Now, upon reopening, they are fabulous!!! Their selection is endless. The food is amazing! And the atmosphere is spectacular! How they continuously keep it immaculate with so many people coming in and out all day, I have no idea. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I love that the owners, husband and wife, are always there to serve. My family and I will continue to drive 45 minutes every week just to enjoy their food. Thank you "Duke's family " for serving our community. We greatly appreciate it!

Most good food at a great price. The atmosphere and service were great.

Dukes Barbecue has become my go-to spot for a satisfying and delicious meal. The fried chicken is undeniably the star of the show – perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The addition of a new salad bar brings a fresh and healthy element to the menu, providing a great balance.

What sets Dukes apart is not only the quality of their food but also the variety of fantastic sides they offer. From classic mashed potatoes to mouthwatering macaroni and cheese, every dish complements the main course exceptionally well. The attention to detail in their recipes is evident, and it truly makes for a memorable dining experience.

The ambiance at Dukes Barbecue is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. It's a great place for a casual meal with friends or a family gathering. The combination of excellent food, a diverse menu, and a pleasant atmosphere makes Dukes Barbecue a standout in the dining scene. I highly recommend giving it a try – you won't be disappointed!

Been here twice since the re-opening after the fire. Better than ever. $16 buffet adult price. Best thing is the fried chicken. Pulled pork & ribs are pretty good. Don’t forget the buffalo wings. Rice & hash is decent. We like the selections of sides: green beans, collard greens, butter beans, broccoli & cheese, cabbage, corn, sweet potatoes, fried okra, okra & tomatoes, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas, and so much more. There’s also a salad bar & potato salad. Plenty of drinks, but ice machine couldn’t keep up. Plenty of tables. Sorry no photos. Couldn’t stop eating 😆

Delicious buffet of tender barbecue, chicken, ribs and tons of sides. I love the addition of the new fresh, crisp salad bar. The building is brand spanking new, modern, clean and spacious. The night we were there we enjoyed family-friendly background music by Hunter which was delightful. It’s hard to beat abundant food, pleasant atmosphere and joyful background music for under $15. for seniors.

Extremely good food at really reasonable prices! This restaurant was just rebuilt and is all new! The seating is at your choice of tables that seat 2, 4 or up to 12 or more in two rooms of this spacious new dining area. This is an all you can eat buffet that includes your drink and dessert for a great price! On the buffet, you choose from an enormous selection of side dishes that are all good. Barbque choices are usually ribs, chicken, or pulled pork. The fried chicken is also excellent. Deserts also have many choices, plus a soft serve ice cream machine! I can highly recommend Dukes! You won't be disappointed.

The buffet was well stocked and clean, hot food was hot and cold chilled food was cold. The sweet potatoes were my favorite. The fried chicken oh yum! The staff, everyone working were so nice and courteous. So glad to have you up and running. The prices are reasonable and a good value. Keep it up!

I would like to take a moment to express my admiration for the new building. The architecture and construction are truly remarkable, and it is a testament to the dedication and hard work of those involved. Additionally, I had the pleasure of enjoying a meal there and it was nothing short of exceptional. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience.

Little bit of a wait but worth it. Ice machine barely made ice but so many people that’s to be expected. My only suggestion would be to have rolls on the buffet, would love some of that pork on a roll like a sandwich. Food was good. Restaurant was super clean and friendly staff. Definitely will be back

Best restaurant I've been to in Aiken. The staff is amazing and so is the food and atmosphere. This place does a great job with everything they make. I haven't been to a restaurant where everything was great until I went here! I will definitely be returning soon and as often as possible. Truly an amazing dinning experience.

Great Quantity of food options and everything was triple AAA Grade 🤗🤗🤗. My family and I enjoyed the beautiful patio as we enjoyed our meal. Only thing I was missing was Cornbread for my Cabbage 🤣🤣🤣. Next time we drive over from Augusta, Ga we will get to take our picture to post. God Bless and See y'all soon 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

So happy that Dukes has reopened! Ate there Thursday (2/1/24) for lunch and had a great time. The food a service were amazing. The new building looks great. You guys are killing it. Keep up the good work.

Great great food. Also glad they are back in a new place is very nice., I gave a service a four star because it was the lady at the restroom ringing up my food, and another employee were talking to each other, But the food and atmosphere a five star

Great food, this restaurant goes above and beyond for their customers!

We drove from Hampton, SC just to eat at Dukes, and it was definitely worth the drive. The building is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the service was top-notch. Even though the place was packed, the wait time was minimal. We will most definitely be back!

Great food, always fresh, easy to get in and out of.

Updated 2024-didn’t think it could get better but it has. Thanks for this Aiken staple and we love the new renovations and buffet! We left stuffed!

First time visiting since the reopen. The restaurant is bigger and better. I would have liked to see more meat options, but overall, the food was good. The ribs were great!

Line is long but moves so quickly. Fried chicken thighs were incredibly moist and flavorful. The buffet was kept well stocked, which is impressive with how busy they are!
