Ive grown up with Dukes BBQ. I'm 67 yrs old and this was the grossest food Ive ever eaten at Dukes... I was so disappointed and I took my son for his bday 🎂 I will not go back. I'll just remember how good it USED to be. COLD,DRY,OVERPRICED FOR COLD FOOD.. THERE'S MORE BUT I'LL STOP HERE.

I explained that I am a gastric bypass patient before I even got my plate. I asked if I could get a carry out so I could take it home because I can only take a couple bites while my fiance ate in for the buffet. After we paid they wanted to keep my carry out plate and my watch my fiance eat by himself. Now I fully explained exactly my intentions because there is no point in my getting a buffet when I can't hardly eat. Will not come here again. We got a refund and left. They do not give a shit about people's medical needs. I was a paying customer, my food was PAID for. This place is unethical, you can't HOLD food from someone that paid for their food. New owners are obviously going to lose a bunch of business because they are worried about MONEY then treating their customers with dignity. W

I never give bad reviews but just wanted to warm new comers before they go here. We love the James Island and Walterboro Dukes so we gave it a try. The two positives were the price and the fried chicken This Dukes was less expensive than the one on James island. But I would pay that extra money every day. The chicken tasted the same as the other locations which is very good. But the rest not so hot . We got to the restaurant about 5:15. The place closed at 8:00. There was hardly any pork, the macaroni and cheese had run out, the corn was almost out, my wife got the last two hush puppies. Almost everything was down to the barest minimum. It wouldn't be so bad if they replaced it. But it was taking forever to get the food out. The macaroni and cheese did not look and taste like the macaroni

Duke’s BBQ in Ridgeville is one of many loosely connected, family-owned Duke’s locations across South Carolina, and while this style of food and establishment is clearly popular in the South, it’s not somewhere I’d personally recommend—unless I were with others who were specifically craving this type of experience. My first impression was less than favorable. The restaurant is housed in an old building and feels dark and dingy inside. The eating area could really use a serious makeover while still preserving its “indoor family picnic” vibe, complete with long communal tables. Overall cleanliness leaves much to be desired: streaky glass covered in fingerprints, stained tables, floors, and walls from years of use, greasy surfaces, and a bathroom that could benefit from a deep clean.

I was born in Summerville and have eaten at Duke's for 40 or more years. It's been awhile but I tried it today. Let's just say that this place has no business representing the Dukes name. It's awful. The building feels like it could fall down any minute. No heat. Filthy dirty, food was terrible. No need to say more. Please close this place fire Marshall. Thank you.
