Janey Wong included Du's Grill in Eater Portland's 2023 overview of twelve "remarkable" restaurants in the Rose City Park and Roseway neighborhoods.[4] Michael Russell included Du's Grill in The Oregonian's overviews of the forty "best inexpensive restaurants" in the metropolitan area.[13][14] He had previously included the restaurant in the newspaper's 2018 overview of ten "cheap eats destinations" in Beaverton and Hillsboro, noting the outposts's upcoming launch.[15]
Aminé is a fan of the restaurant and ate there for his eighteenth birthday. He has said, "I was just constantly going there as a teenager; Du's is such a staple. On my 18th birthday, I had no plans, so my friends and I went there, we went to that park right by Grant, and I ate my Du's for my 18th birthday. I had a sentimental mood that birthday."[16]
