nattydread Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 paid them a visit tonight as I love a good burger......happy to say that the burgers were better than before the shop closed a couple of months ago and they were good then.spoke to the owner who informed me he had been back in the USA on personal business for a couple of months but was now sourcing his burgers from a different supplier..my only complaint would be the price has gone up 110g cheeseburger with a handful of fries and a lemonade refill is now 175 baht which if my memory serves me correct is a jump of 30 baht my other farang food haunt the UN pub does a steak and onion pie with mash,carrots.peas and gravy for 180 baht which is better value for the money the Dukes does a 99 baht burger with fries tasty although not as good,,,,,,,so he is slightly overpriced in my opinion but still a cracking burger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingjoke Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Good to hear. The burgers across the street on the corner are more expensive these days too. Was sitting there last week pining for the Dukes spot, in eyesight across the way. Glad to hear it's back again. Will be there shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) It is not the Duke's. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Edited December 13, 2012 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Same owner but is it also the same manager with the same bad attitude? One burger w/a side of scowl please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daoyai Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 So now that intersection has 3 burger places on the corners, Mikes, Fat E. and The Riva, anybody tried the Riva burger for comparison, saw their banner the other day, looks like some competative pricing, how about quality?

Ricardo Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 And as they hand you your burger and change, do they say, "Well, Thank-You Very Much, Uh-Huh ?" ... I'll just get my jacket, and burger-off ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say about the quality at any one but the Dukes but knowing there insistence on cleanliness I would imagine the quality of their products would be hard to beat. Mikes I would rate as low. Will defiantly try the others. On a side note I was in the franchise one once and Dave was cooking. He said they had to fire some one and he was helping to train the new fellow. The fellow headed over to the grill and Dave just looked at him pointed his finger at him and said you go wash your hands.

2peteok Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 i went to riva and ordered a special listed on their big promotional banner hanging in front. .. waited awhile and then was informed the promotion was over. i see the banner is still up. not good. Happy to hear there are good burger back at Dukes or whoever is making them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Dealt with the owner of Riva too on another matter and she 100% misrepresented what she was trying to sell and after some research (at land office hint hint) and when I showed her she said "well that's what I call it". Maybe she'll give you a piece of tomato and say it's a burger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I couldn't imagine ordering food at the Riva. Drink yes, but food? It's more of an entertainment spot. Was there one night on a voting day or whatever and the police showed up. I overheard the cop telling the owner that she didn't pay up and to collect all the drinks immediately. Everyone had to gulp their drinks down and then they closed the shutters. At that point you could only order soft drinks and listen to the band cooped up inside. Silly. I won't go back.

mania Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 You are comparing a hamburger to a cheese burger. Hardly a fair comparison. True at the Dukes the 99 burger ( which I like ) is 99 + 20 cheese + 7% vat = 127 with no drink. So the 175 with a drink is pretty equal or better I guess. If both places are Dukes shouldn't the taste be the same? Or is it a franchise deal? anyway will give it a try when I have my next burger attack Not too often but when it hits I need one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the woman had left the place as it was with live music and cocktails and skipped the expansion/re-construction and attempt at selling farang food, it may have been profitable.

Loaded Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 7/11 charge less than 30 baht for their burger; add just an extra 20 baht for a strawberry milk and you have the perfect end to a late night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot compare that 7/11 burger with a real hamburger. Sure, I eat the 7/11 burgers when i am on a road trip, but I would prefer something a lot better.
