“ Cool Northern bar atmosphere. The riverstone walls/bar are a nice touch, minus the Packers items, haha yes I'm joking. Exemplary and attentive service from Cindy at the bar! Had the pork tenderloin. It could literally be 4 meals. So good! Also had the beer nuggets appetizer, GET IT! I will be back. Very nice bar crowd, clean bar. There are too many beers on tap to mention. Check them out. You won't be disappointed. Can't wait to return. ”
“ Good food and good service. I had the Barnhouse burger - which is a 1/3 lb burger patty topped with pulled pork and a cheese curd patty on a brioche bun. The pretzel bites and beer cheese were also great! Definitely feels like a slice of Wisconsin in downtown St. Charles. ”
“ With a desperate craving for burgers I found this wonderful place!! I walked in and was immediately greeted by friendly staff and a casual fun atmosphere. First thought in my head was ‘I should bring my friends here’ I ordered cheese curds and the Barnhouse Burger to go and enjoyed a delicious IPA while I waited. The staff answered all my silly questions and made me feel welcomed as I sipped my beer. Food only took a few more minutes but goodness gracious, was worth the wait. There cheese curds alone could bring me back. Until I tasted the burger and decided I would only order that every time I come to Dukes...which I absolutely will. So excited to have discovered such a great place close by! ”
“ The ambiance is absolutely wonderful. They have nailed Northwoods Wisconsin. We came here specifically for the giant pork tenderloin sandwich. Absolutely fantastic. ”
“ It’s a Packers bar.... Other than that it’s a great place. Service was awesome. Bartender recommended the grilled wings with the parmesan garlic. We got those and some hot buffalo as well. I’m picky with wings and they were excellent. Betsy’s sliders are fantastic. Side wedge salad - love. Check out the website as they have great specials all week and a happy hour. Will definitely be back. ”
“ Great bar that has an up-north Wisconsin vibe to it. Excellent food as well with a really nice drink selection. My kind of spot! ”
“ We were there last Tuesday for the smash burger special! Best smash burger ever!!!! Our server Claire made the whole experience over the top! She is so friendly and welcoming, wished all servers were just like her!! Love this place, also best fried pickles around! Hope to have Claire next time we come in! ”
“ Stopped in for lunch. Had the smash burger with fingerling potatoes, French onion soup, and Brat bites. Absolutely blown away. Everything was perfect. The service was attentive, and friendly. Cocktails and beer list was great. I’m definitely coming back here. It really was just a great experience. ”
