"Don’t come to Duke’s feeling too serious. This is a kitschy Hawaii-themed restaurant on PCH overlooking the ocean, where surfboards, historical timelines, and vintage surfing videos on TVs line the wood-paneled walls. And we love it. Mostly because it’s very much a local hang. Come any evening and you’ll find a bunch of sandy people who clearly take up permanent residence at the bar, which overlooks the unobstructed Pacific. And on Taco Tuesday, the outdoor patio gets particularly packed. The margaritas are contenders for the Best In The City, and pods of dolphins are so close and frequent, it gets old after a while. The food? The tacos, salads, ribs, and burgers are good enough, and that’s just fine with us. photo credit: Kim Fox" - Arden Shore

Fun atmosphere right on the beach. Very small food menu. The nachos were excellent! The pulled pork sandwich was pretty good. burger was pretty basic. The ice cream hula pie was yum.

The food here is alright but generally overhyped. Pricing is much more reasonable than the resort restaurant but there are other restaurants nearby that are going to give you better food. Seems like most of the wait was for dinners, but going for lunches we generally were able to be seated immediately.

Atmosphere down stairs is great especially for kids. Our fish tacos were great but ever seemed like small portions including kids menu sides. Great service. We only waited 20 minutes without a reservation to eat downstairs. Nice ambiance down three as well. We parked across the street by the food carts so we wouldn’t have to wait for valet. Gotta get the hula pie! I would like to mention the restrooms are very small downstairs and always had a line. My wife said they were VERY dirty in hopes that someone would clean.

We enjoyed the atmosphere at Duke’s. The food was good even if a little pricey but nothing out of the normal for Hawaii. If it is in your budget a great place to go. The live music was also a highlight.

We took a free shuttle from the NCL cruise Ship to this location which took about 5 minutes and another 5 minutes to walk to Kalapaki Beach. Had lunch at Dukes Canoe Club Barefoot Bar while enjoying the breath-taking views of Nawiliwili Kaui. We had the Fish & Chips for lunch. Food and Service was very good. The fish used for the fish and chips is not what were used to but was still good. Not the restaurants' fault. They cook a different fish that is dry and tastes more like chicken than what most Irish Pubs will serve back in the mainland. The Dukes Blonde from Kona Brewing Co. was super delicious.

I ordered the Fish and Chips from Dukes and it was incredible. I’m not a huge seafood fan, but since on vacation in Hawaii, I gave it a shot and was not disappointed. I also had a bite of my cousin’s Swordfish meal that was recommended by our waitress, & that was beyond fantastic. We also ordered their famous pie. With how big it was, I was not expecting to be able to eat it all. But we are the entire thing. Our waitress was fantastic and the vibes of the restaurant were so nice!

Very nice place. The atmosphere is great. Food was good. I would definitely come again. We had a younger waiter he forgot a couple things. Things happen. I never judge the experience bad if it's the waiter. They can make the difference. Hopefully next time we get a better one.
