Duke's Slickrock Grill

Such a cool find! Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. We got brisket and the ribs and they were delicious. Also the cornbread was the best I’ve had in awhile. We had no room for pie, but next time will definitely try some as it looked super yummy and there was a huge selection of different ones!

Good experience. Would come back. Service quick and friendly. Lots of seating when stopped. The steak fries on onion rings great. The smoked chicken sandwich moist and tasty. The brisket sandwich moist and flavorful. The smoke on the beef was milder than I like tho. Both sandwiches served with a nice garnish.

Excellent location and good food. We wanted veg option which we had too.

Duke’s Slickrock Grill, Hanksville, UT

This town is very small crossroads with 2 restaurants: Duke’s and a Mexican restaurant. As plant based eaters we had low expectations in a town this size however we were pleasantly surprised to see a veggie burger option. And the double salad I special ordered was fresh and delicious, which is amazing considering all the salad ingredients are trucked in from many miles away. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff was friendly.

This was a gem restaurant in Hicksville, Utah. The atmosphere was warm and the people were very friendly. The food was amazing, fresh and delicious. I highly recommend their smoked beef brisket and the cornbread! Thanks Shandee for your excellent service!!!

I was here two years ago actually. But best service I've ever had. Pretty sure the boss served us and he was so nice and helpful! Gave us tips about the area, showed pictures for hiking suggestions and gave a free pie with us, as I had decided not to get one as I was looking for another type of pie. I was going away amazed, and that I write a review 2 years later is a testament to it's leaving impression!

I visited Duke's Nov 12. We were the only patrons in the place and had a very positive experience. Food was fantastic! I marked this place on my Google Maps for a return visit. You could spend hours just looking at the western theme the place has to offer. The Brisket is the best I've tasted in UT! Super fresh salads, and kind staff.

Very good food! Perfect stop on the road.

The salad with brisket was delicious and the service was awesome.

excellent and abundant breakfast, very picturesque place dedicated to John Wayne

Amazing! We stopped here on our drive from Capitol Reef to Moab. After a long day of hiking and driving, this was a welcomed rest. The service was so quick and friendly and the food was delicious.

Yum! Our family of four stopped here and everyone enjoyed their dinner. The nachos were really good.

Clean, friendly waiters, nice decor. Going back for breakfast. Edited: we returned for breakfast and weren't disappointed.

Wandered in here while on a road trip—wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised! We received a really warm greeting immediately upon entering and service was fantastic throughout. I had a bowl of chili and it was prepared well. The place was cute inside and just taking a glance at other diners’ food everything looked pretty good. I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to get here but if you’re driving through Utah this is an excellent place to stop!

I love this John Wayne themed steakhouse.
The food is amazing. The service is great.
I stop here every time I come through Hanksville.
Be sure to get a piece of fresh pie after your meal....whether you have room for it or not.
I prefer the blueberry with ice cream.

Either we were soooo hungry the food tasted as good as almost anything I've ever had. The smoked brisket was very good. I could literally taste the smoke flavor. Kori was our host and waitress and she was genuinely kind and this was a great place to stop to break up a long drive.

Driving through Hanksville we were looking for a place to eat and Duke's hit the spot. Such a great restaurant with superb staff. We felt right at home. They were attentive and were able to get our order out quickly. They have great menu for kids and adults alike. If you are traveling to/from Lake Powell or Capital Reef this is a great place to relax from a long road trip and enjoy a quality meal.

Brisket with garlic mashed potatoes and a brisket salad!!! It was excellent all around.. staff was super nice. Going thru Hankville this is a must stop

Great selection of craft beers and Sarah was awesome.

This was a real gem of a find. We left Castle Reef going to Moab and saw this roadside out in the styx. I am soooooo glad we stopped.
My daughter and I had the Wyoming Outlaw (chicken fried steak with hashbrowns) and I left not a bite. Kid almost wrangled hers as well. GREAT breakfast. Biscuits any southerner would be proud to call their own. Gravy was good and it was all cooked to perfection. Well done to the friendly staff and our thanks for being great.

What a delight in a small town. We had been camping for five days and we weren't sure what to expect for food in Hanksville, UT but we knew we had to eat. We arrived at an off time so we were the only ones in there. Place was clean. Service was great. Food was delicious. We had a couple different appetizers and three different meals. Everyone really enjoyed everything. I highly recommend the brisket nachos and pulled pork sandwich. My friends loved the trout.

This place is by far the best place to eat for n town. The service has always been excellent. The music the play is the good country music. The food is great portions for the money, and has great flavor. I have not had anything bad there, but my favorite is the burgers. The brisket sandwich was awesome, but I don’t like my bread getting soaked and soggy. This is our stop when we need food. Most people stop at Stans because they are not aware of this joint.
