I do believe Cafe Duke is no better than Tad,s steak, it is worse, if the second one has something wrong going on in the back,Cafe Duke is full of illegal activities ,starting from laundering money,harboring undocumented illegal aliens, tax fraud and tax evasion, and what is beyond that could be worse

I do not think it is a good place to buy a lunch ,the service is so bad , try on sundy the workers do not want to help the customers and all what the say is we do not have this or that,or the section is closed,they are so rude and do not encourage anyone to come back again

wow, mandee… racist much? so just cause someone’s of a different ethnicity, that makes them illegal, ignorant, or uneducated? and sanitary food conditions have everything to do with these elements of race and immigration and nothing to do with management or the establishments themselves? maybe you should think about the garbage that you put in your mouth (and the shit that spews out of it) and do less commenting.

the problem with those places such as cafe duke that because they use uneducated ,ignorants illegal aliens to handle our food no matter if they wear gloves or not they still do not know ,I was there last month with my co-worker and the guy at the counter was slicing row chicken on the same cutting board where he makes people,s sandwiches with the same kinfe,no wonder if some one got sick!!!

I like those whole-wheat raspberry bar desserts that look as if they were made in someone’s basement in Flushing. Really.

I no longer eat food from Duke’s on 51st despite working across the street after I got a 3-day virus-type bathroom-visit-inducing bonus from eating one of their sushi bowls.

To be quite honest, I NEVER buy any type of desserts from places like Duke’s, or the hundred of other ‘generic delis’ that litter midtown. When I see those ‘desserts’ in the case I take those as ‘DISPLAY ONLY.’ It’s better to look at them than to sully your innocent stomach with something so utterly vile. If you want real GOOD desserts it’s best to go somewhere else…in fact, anywhere else.

Specifically, someplace where they specialize in making desserts or someplace OTHER than the Midtown area.

As for Tad’s, tbh, most places in the city are filthy and there are mice, roaches, or whatever. This also includes the most fanciest of restaurants. WhenI used to work in Starbucks, I used to complain about mice eating the food all the time, but it’s not as if they did anything significant about it since that would mean a lot of money lost.
