Dukes Steakhouse - Castle Pines

The first time here for us and Duke is not disappointed. We met friends there, and they had made reservations. We arrived a bit earlier and the table was ready for us. When we sat, the waiter arrived and took our drinks orders. Less than 3 minutes later the drinks arrived and we set our Entree orders, we all had the Prime Rib dinner. We were least disappointed!! The whole beef was perfectly boiled, with exactly the right amount of fat and crust-shaped edges. We all enjoyed every bite! A clear 5-star rating, if I could give an additional star for friendly, attentive service, I would. Not a chic, gorgeous steak house, beautifully casual and relaxed. Thanks Duke's!

I hate taking a full star because once the service arrived it was excellent. If I could just take a half I would just take that. The waitresses were all super nice and got us our food quickly, but it took nearly 15 mins once we were finally seated for anyone to even come give us water or ask what we wanted to drink. I was actually about to leave when an older lady, very nice, came by and asked if anyone had seen to us yet. I will say the hostess was not rude but did ignore us for several mins while we stood upfront looking confused as to where to go. They have the host stand, unmarked, a bit far from the door and it was slightly confusing since no one was near it for several mins. When she finally went to her post and just stood there I realized it was a host stand and that's where we were supposed to go to get service. I'm not sure if she ignored us because I was the lone brown person in there or because she didn't want to deal with new people, but we made eye contact several times while my husband tried going between the doors looking for a clue where we should go and she just kept doing other things instead of helping us. I am glad I stayed even if the hostess was a bit off putting. The other staff was quite pleasant. The chicken fried steak was excellent. Not that processed mashed up meat nonsense. It was a proper steak that you had to cut with a knife and chew. Not as good as grandma's but not too far off either. The sirloin tips were also good but covered in a ton of gravy. My husband didn't care for all that gravy. I personally would have loved it so that's a personal taste issue. If you get the tips and don't like oodles of gravy ask for it on the side. It was very tasty gravy though. The coffee was standard restaurant coffee. Not bad, not good. Just coffee. I hope they get more staff. They seem a bit understaffed and maybe move the hostess to a different area. But we really enjoyed our meal and our waitress, who's name I'm probably remembering wrong but I think was Precious maybe, was super sweet.

We love Duke's! Comfortable atmosphere, and the staff has always been very friendly. We have two little kids, and Duke's feels very family friendly. And the food is great, haven't had a bad meal yet! Definitely recommend for family meals as well as quiet date nights.

Valentine's dinner. First time to Duke's even though I have lived here for some time. We had great service and great food. Very reasonable prices as well. And my wife is always super happy about a gluten free dessert. Gluten free brownie was great! We'll be back more often.

Fairly decent atmosphere, good service. Steak was fair for the price, probably could use more menu items for a steak house. I loved the bar section. It can get loud but around lunch it's great.
