Duchess Family Restaurant

Duchess Restaurants are a Connecticut classic for a reason. The food is consistently good, fresh, and made fast without sacrificing quality. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or a late-night stop, Duchess always delivers. The staff is friendly and efficient, the restaurants are clean, and the menu has a great mix of comfort food favorites. It’s one of those reliable spots you can count on every time. If you’re in CT and want a no-nonsense place with great food and great service, Duchess never disappoints.

I love this place, especially when they have the 2 for $5 hot dog deal. They use Hummels hot dogs so you know they’re good. Really good hand made chicken nuggets, fries/chili cheese fries are good and they have the Coca Cola freestyle machine which is always a plus. Years ago, I loved their burgers but for some reason I’m just not too thrilled with them lately. I also think they have a really good breakfast sandwich which are always on sale 2 for $6 and a helluva hash brown too. All in all, a solid fast food place that puts most of the other fast food joints in our area to shame.

We order breakfast sandwiches and our bread was moldy. I called to let them know and the their cook said that it was fresh bread (as to say I was lying) well I’ll add the photos to the review and you all can be the judge. Is this what poppy seed bread should look like?

This place is horrible, I went there to get 4 muffins and they charged me $18.53 for these muffins. This company should be ashamed to take peoples money like that. Worst of when they don't even bake these, they are bought already this way. I went next door to DD and got another 4 muffins to compare the price and it was $11.12 for them. This is highway robbery. I work at Orange Fence and useto come here all the time. I will never come to this place again. To make things worst off, they didn't even get the order right. Horrible.

This is the location where I tried Duchess for the first time. It was supposedly the Big D burger, but it was disproportionately small compared to the bun. Where's the beef? It tasted o.k., but it was LOADED with pickles. They should call it a Pickle Burger... I guess they normally put mayonnaise on their burgers, but I put a halt on that. Is this really how the burgers are at Duchess? I had such high hopes for this place. The people told me it was good... I ordered French Fries, and they were very good. I would have only rated this place three stars, but the staff was very nice. If I go to another Duchess (or return to this location) I will probably try the Philly Steak.
