Dukes Bar-B-Que Aiken

I ordered a pork plate here after traveling to Aiken work one day after getting recommendations from locals and it was very good. The meat was seasoned well and chopped to a decent size. The mashed potatoes and black eyed peas were seasoned very well but the okra and tomatoes were over salted. The hush puppies were a surprise (and good) since I didn’t think the plate came with bread. The takeout process was very simple. Highly recommend.

This is a review of the breakfast buffet. I think it's only on Saturday mornings, but I could be wrong. It's got all the hallmark qualities of a Dukes lunch/dinner buffet: tons of options, good taste, and super clean. They had pancakes, French toast sticks, biscuits and gravy, grits, several different egg casseroles and scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage links and patties, breakfast potatoes, chicken, a fruit bar, yogurt parfaits, cereal, and a coffee bar. They also have that "good ice." No complaints here--the atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is fresh, and the drinks were however you wanted them. If you are looking for a fast, in-and-out breakfast that isn't fast food, this is definitely worth a try.

Good bbq. Actually cooked on a real smoker.the sides were great old school cooking. Lima beans..squash casserole. Fried potatoes. Ribs and pulled pork. The star of the day was the fried pork chops really good stuff. My only criticism would be the banana pudding was just pudding with some Nilla wafers crushed on top. Very basic compared to the rest of the buffet.

Plenty of seating. This was my first time here and I had to see what the hype was all about. Although the ribs are so-so, the food was great. Next time I'm taking the whole family. Parking is somewhat small. They have military and senior discounts here. The buffet varies on certain days so I would call ahead to see what they are serving. I'm not a fan of salt. I noticed everything was moderately seasoned.

This was exactly all my fault… 🤦🏽‍♂️ I asked for a to-go plate of fried chicken, Ribs & two sides… and then drove 30mins home… Eat there… don’t get home to soggy fried chicken… The flavor of the ribs sauce was amazing…and I’m a huge spare ribs fan and the cook, grill master or chef did a great job!!! 🤤 Mac&Cheese was great but again, it was cold by the time I got home but you could still taste the deliciousness in each bite!!! I will be back for sure, this time I’m sitting down for the buffet 🙏🏾🙌🏽🎉🎊
