Dad and son run the place, serving very generous portions and big and fresh sandwiches, salads, etc. Check out the menu that I included. Although they mostly serve the business community in the area, it is well worth a little extra...Read More

Seriously these are the best sandwiches! The gentleman who runs this place is so kind and his food is incredible. The Chicago Italian beef sub is one of our favorites but everything we’ve had has been amazing.

My dad and I are always looking for a good French dip and I found one while having lunch with friends at Papa Duke's in Poway. Large sandwich, good bread and tons of good roast beef that was lean and not any grissle. ...Read More

This was my first time ordering here for lunch. And I’ve gotta say, hands down best and big deli sandwich I’ve had in a while. I just gotten the turkey ranch sandwich, the ranch was to die for…really. I’d recommend this place to everyone .

Stumbled upon this cute deli! The ham and hot sopresata sandwich was perfectly balanced with the fresh mozzarella, arugula, red peppers onions and Italian vinaigrette. The bread was perfectly toasted without being too crunchy or chewy. I don't live here but I'd love to come back to...Read More

What a fantastic dinner! We were celebrating a promotion and wanted somewhere special — this restaurant delivered. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. I had the duck breast, which was juicy with a delicious glaze. The desserts were also...Read More

Nice place with a good variety on the menu. We tried the pasta and grilled chicken — both were delicious. Service was a bit slow, but the staff were polite. Would come back again.

What makes Papa Duke's different is not just the homestyle sandwiches and salads, but the staff's commitment to making you feel at home. Not often do I feel strangely at home, fed by family, when I'm at a restaurant. That is what Papa Dukes delivers.
