===== Cheap prices, insanely high quality, hugely diverse selection - run don't walk here ===== MULTIPLE breakfasts and brunches here. If you're looking for a fancy place to sit down, this isn't it. It's cafeteria style tables. But... + Quality of food is insanely high. + Sushi? Amazing. We have some excellent sushi in California and the 3-4 types of sushi I had over several days was awesome (shrimp tempura with avo, cucumber, and imitation crab; unagi with avo; straight up CA roll). + BEC's? On point. Fresh ingredients, piping hot, freshly made. + French toast. Made in advance but also great. + Oatmeal? 3-4 different kinds depending on whether you wanted it made with oat milk, almond milk, regular milk, skim milk. THEN they craft it for you depending on whether you want walnuts, sliced almonds, pecans, raisins, dried cherries, brown sugar, sliced bananas, or shredded coconut. Are you kidding??? + And the prices for each of these? Easily 50% of the going rate everywhere else. At NY, we expect either good quality and paying dearly for it, or paying less for food on the go that's going to be, well, food on the go :-D But paying less for amazing food? Dukes Eatery was pretty much the only place this existed on our 1+ week in NY. Seriously, try this place.

Very tasty with good ingredients. Wonderful breakfast and lunch made to order with very efficient grill people. Good looking hot buffet but I didn't try it. Would have been five stars but the cashiers were all startingly rude.

Duke is a pretty solid grab and go lunch spot in the heart of Manhattan. I've had this place a few times as it is close to my office and they offer a very wide selection. I got the Big Man Sandwich, grilled roast beef, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, bacon, and avocado on a hero roll. A lot of good food for $16. It's probably my favorite order at Duke's, where anything else you can find a better version of elsewhere. If you're gonna spend $16 here, go to the sandwich line. That's where they're at.

This is going to be done a little differently than my usual review. Because this is an "Eatery" it is like a mix between a grocery store, a coffee house, a salad/soup bar, a sandwich house, and a cafeteria. We only visited for breakfast, but we did it THREE DAYS IN A ROW!!! We were so impressed with the politeness and taste of the food that we couldn't help but go back. Did I mention the prices? So low. They have a plethora of freshly made, and hot, breakfast sandwiches. They also have pancakes and French toast ready to go. Their potato hash is sooo tasty. Many NYC workers rush in and grab sandwiches for their lunches later and a quick breakfast sandwich to get them started. They have an amazing array of drinks to choose from. Two gigantic walls filled with every energy drink, iced coffee, juice, coke, and waters you could imagine. The wife and daughter got the Mocha Cafe all 3 mornings. I ended up getting the Egg, Sausage, and Cheese croissant each morning. I could now live off these. I would love to have had the opportunity to go back for lunch but maybe on another trip. This is a 5 star place with great service and food.

Great spread of food, tons of options and all consistently good. Tons of lunch/bodega type places around but Duke is a step above. I tend to go for the sandwiches but I've gotten sushi and the hot bar as well and everything is consistently good. I really oughta try the ramen and other Korean options as they look great. Breakfast bagel sandwiches are awesome too. Heaping mounds of egg, cheese, etc. Definitely get the job done.
