Got there late, about an hour before closing. We did NOT get rushed. Excellent food, excellent service, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I have nothing negative to say about my visit! When I return to the area, it'll be a definite stop. My burger was perfectly done, and fantastic. Prices were fair, I was pleasantly surprised. I saw groups from one to fifteen, they're great at that.

The atmosphere of this place with the deck views of the Susquehanna was truly amazing. The restaurant was clean, well organized, and we liked the fact that you could see the kitchen area which appeared to be neat and clean upon entering. Our server was a tentative to our needs and was courteous to our two kids by giving them coloring placemats and even lending his pens to them so they could complete the activities while we waited for our meal. The only disappointment to the kids was that apparently crayons had been removed from the establishment because of one or two bad kids that colored on the tables. The food presentation was very well done as you can see in the pictures, however, extremely disappointed in the quality of the chicken. The chicken, which we both received was extremely tough and chewy, like it had been sitting around for quite some time. The flavor of the coconut citrus tacos that I got was very good, lacking the fact that I ate them without the chicken. The salad was great less the chicken. I’m sure this is a one time experience, but it’s definitely worth the views and I’m sure there are there are menu options other than the chicken that would be delicious.

This is my second time eating at this place. We sat on the outdoor patio, and the river view was beautiful. I ordered the crab cake sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. I can say there was about 95% real crab meat in it. It's definitely worth the money. My husband got the fish tacos—well-seasoned and tasty. Our friends got the steak and pizza, which were also very satisfying. If you are hungry and want a great meal, then I highly recommend this place!

Nice place to feel like you are at a Beach Bar when you are stuck in PA landlocked. Very nice selection menu. Some GF and vegetarian options. Many margaritas and other beach favorites on the drink menu. Staff are attentive and friendly. It’s close to City Island, and located right on the Susquehanna River, West Shore side. They offer ADA parking in front. Free parking lot. Large clean and well maintained bathrooms. Open kitchen plan with view windows. Indoor and outdoor seating options and some ADA wheelchair tables. There is a large well appointed bar. This restaurant inside & outside is Not Pet Friendly, bummer!

I sat at the bar. 2 of the most unfriendly bartenders I have ever seen in my 50+ years. They don’t interact at all. No smile. No nothing. They don’t even ask, “need anything else?” I know they are busy but nobody is here on charity. Be nice. No customers, means no business. The male acts like he doesn’t like his job. Then quit!!!!!!! They aren’t doing us a favor. We decided to come here. I ordered a pizza. Is there a shortage of Sauce?? I There was almost none!!!! Ridiculous!!!! I got Mushroom, Pineapple, and Jalapeño. Pineapple chunks? Really??? The peppers had NO spice at all. If I wanted Bell Peppers I would have said that. I know, or at least I heard, the owners are related, but Dukes puts this place to shame. Very unpleasant visit.
