I heard that yesterday afternoon Duke's abruptly closed and posted a sign on the door saying it was "closed for repairs", even though no one was aware that anything needed repairing.

Looks like I may be adding Duke's to my list of places I was going to try, but never got around to doing so in time.

They're posting on FB about lunch today.

Yesterday Palace Cafe posted they were closed for repairs and would reopen Tuesday.

Never heard of it.  People not knowing this place existed might have something to do with it.  Where was this?

By the Spirit Center.  It's a nice enough place.  Interesting interior with "southern" cooking.  I was there once.  Decent food at the time and good service.

One of their servers dropped 3 glasses of water on me a few months ago.  They didn't even comp our appetizer.

Ha Ha...just because it's on South Memo. I thought you knew everything about Southies.  ;)

It's a very modern looking facility with a few "southern decorations" slapped up that don't fit. Kinda like the menu. Some weird hybrid of modern and classic southern.

I went, it wasn't bad but pretty underwhelming.

I think this was the third place that has failed so far in its spot right? It seems like just to much overhead for any type of eating/drinking/hanging out spot for Tulsa...

It's rare I ever get that far south on Memorial anymore and then it's usually crossing on the bike trail.  I probably should get out more.

I think it might still be open.  OP said "for repairs" and they are posting on facebook.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the drinks.  Sadly, my meal was horrible.  I tried the Etouffee and the rice was raw and the was shrimp undercooked.  I don't think I will be headed back anytime soon.

We have eaten there several times, always very good and great service. Try the shrimp & grits sometime, it is as close to low country cooking as you can get around here.
