Nice smokehouse atmosphere. Brisket is delicuous. Little pricey but food is good.
Thirsty Pig restaurant! Was ok! The pull pork was very good! The pull chicken was dry. The the server was not very good she did not know what was on the menu basically . We ordered dessert and it says it comes with ice cream. She's told us it would be extra but it was on there menu. She had the nerve to tell us there was no extra charge for the ice cream which I couldn't believe she said that. The food came out slowly. I know they are new.
Grand Dukes is an interesting (in decor...it has a knights-of-the-round-table feel) place to visit for authentic Lithuanian food that is nicely prepared. They have reduced their menu offerings to less than they used to have, but still do the food well. Bring your appetites...you will be eating very hearty food that you will most likely take some home in a doggy bag with you. The chicken Vilnius is my new fave, and their kugelis, as well as potato pancakes, are excellent. Prices have also changed...(they've gone UP) but, this is a specialty restaurant that you only visit every now and then...so, it's worth the price of admission. They also have delicious soups (the mushroom is Great, along with beet soup) and nice Polish and Lithuanian combo plates that give you a nice taste of both cuisines. They do have gambling machines and offer live music on Fridays. So, if you're really hungry, and are looking for well-prepared ethnic Lithuanian food....stop in to Grand Dukes...just a stone's throw from Toyota park on Harlem Avenue. (Photo is the chicken Vilnius I mentioned earlier. )
Food was fantastic. Ordered the filled pocket for appetizer, it was great!!!! The potato pancakes with meat, the best!!!! Roast duck, very good. I would highly recommend this place. Our server was very nice. Can't wait to go back
