Duke's Huntington Beach

Duke's is a standout place in Huntington Beach. Have been there several times. Service and atmosphere are wonderful. You can see the beach and waves crashing from many seats in the restaurant. If I could give a 4.5, I would. There were some food aspects that were not superb this trip. Some dishes we ordered: Seafood hotpot (very good), korean ribs (super yummy), wedge salad (meh...dressing not much flavor), mac crusted halibut with broccoli (broccoli was hard as a rock...could not eat). Hula pie for dessert...good for a table of 5! It was wonderful. Good wine selection. Seafood was very fresh. My mojito was a little watered down. Will always keep this place on the list...just hoping for a little better quality next time on some items.

First time here, this was an absolute great experience. Everything from being greeted from the hostess to being served at the bar until our table was ready. And our server Ray provided exceptional service. I definitely recommend the Lobsters, so fulfilling.. My husband had the Prime Rib 14 oz , he said it was perfectly cooked they way he likes his steaks (very rare we can find a chef or restaurant that pleases his pallette of steaks). And finally for dessert, the Upside-down Pineapple Cake was drool worthy.. delicious.

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Drinks were delicious and served with impeccable speed. Our meals were cooked perfectly and the portions were enough that some plates can be shared. The views of Huntington Beach from the dining room were beautiful.

Great experience! Duke’s Huntington Beach had outstanding service, great food, and an amazing view! The food was prepared quickly and it cane out with amazing flavor. The server was amazing and very positive. I would highly recommend this establishment to dine at if you are in Huntington Beach.

Needed a speedy lunch before an appointment and Duke's bar area was the perfect spot! Loved that it was kid-friendly and open seating. We were seated, ordered, and had our food in under 10 minutes - amazing! The fish tacos were delicious, and the fish and chips hit the spot. Plus, their IPA selection was solid. Everything was tasty and exactly what we needed for a quick bite. Service was friendly and super efficient. And let's be real, the beachside environment is unbeatable. Definitely coming back to Duke's for a longer, more leisurely meal next time. Highly recommend if you're looking for good food and fast service in a great location!

Dining at Duke's Restaurant is always a delightful experience for me! As a proud Islander, I truly appreciate the warm and inviting atmosphere that surrounds me. Our server, Jaliegh, was a breath of fresh air—her friendly smile and attentive nature made us feel right at home. My two granddaughters had a wonderful time as well, relishing every bite of their delicious meals. And no visit is complete without soaking in the fascinating history of Duke Kahanamoku, the legendary swimmer and surfer—it never fails to inspire awe and nostalgia as I admire the displays that pay tribute to his incredible legacy.

We had Duke's in Hawaii and my husband has been craving the hula pie from there for the past 3 years so we were really excited to see that they have dukes at the Huntington Beach and had to stop there. We ordered a bunch of stuff and every single thing was amazing. For appetizers we ordered coconut crispy shrimp and poke tacos and they were 10/10! For entrees we got baked Duke's fish and fish and chips and of course for dessert we got the hula pie.

We enjoyed our experience at Dukes. Tatum was our polite and friendly waitress. We ordered the POG slushy with rum and Bloody Mary with pepper Vodka. Both were excellent. I ordered fish and chips, they were perfection. Hubby ordered black bean nachos and added chicken. It was a lot of food! We finished the meal with key lime pie, which was amazing. We would certainly dine here again!

I am a beach girl through and through, and recently got to visit this location by the Huntington pier. I've been to the one in Waikiki many times, and although it doesn't quite compare, I'm giving this 5 stars for the excellent service we received. I unfortunately didn't catch our server's name, but he was a younger man, possibly half-Asian. His friendliness and enthusiasm stood out. He seemed like he thoroughly knew the menu and even sold us on a few things (just as a car salesman would), like the HULA PIE (must-have, it's shareable!) and shared the fish of the day for certain entrees. Kudos to the attentiveness. To start, we got the BLACK BEAN NACHOS and MACADEMIA NUT HUMMUS, which came with flatbread and an assortment of veggies. The two appetizers seemed to balance each other. One healthy, one not so much. I chose the MAC NUT and HERB-CRUSTED FRESH FISH for my entree, which I enjoyed. It came with a macaroni salad (this was pretty basic) and a bit of regular salad. Loved the fish though topped with capers. Cannot skip the HULA PIE, which I guess is a signature dessert made of macademia nut ice cream. We also got the KEY LIME PIE to share with the table, it's a little smaller than its counterpart, but has a nice tartness.

Dinner at Duke's - A Favorite Spot in Huntington Beach Took the family to Duke's for dinner and had another great experience. The restaurant has a cozy, clean atmosphere with a stunning view of the beach and ocean--one of the best in Huntington Beach, in my opinion. The staff were warm and accommodating, and our server, Denise, was especially delightful--attentive and friendly throughout our meal. I ordered the Prime Rib, cooked to a perfect medium and seasoned beautifully. Tender, flavorful, and just what I was hoping for. Duke's continues to be a go-to spot for us whenever we're in town. Great food, great service, and unbeatable views. Highly recommend

My mom and aunt were in town, and we had the most fantastic lunch at Duke's! We were craving an ocean view, and Duke's totally delivered. The hostess and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming - seriously, such a great vibe. Our server, Jason (I think that was his name!), was super attentive and made the whole experience even better. The food was amazing! I devoured some poke tacos (seriously, you HAVE to try them!) and some sashimi. Mom loved the wontons, and we indulged in a couple of cocktails. She had a margarita (she said it was delicious!), and I went for a watermelon mojito - it was light and refreshing, perfect for a sunny day. Maybe a little *too* refreshing, haha! It didn't pack quite the punch I was hoping for, but still yummy. Duke's is definitely a Huntington Beach gem! It's a must-try. I can't wait to go back with the kids!

Denise is an exceptional server.An amazing birthday celebration! Fantastic service and always feels like a special occasion when I visit Duke's for a sunset dinner.

The food was great. Was tasty yummy and presentation was amazing. It felt classy and nice and was definitely fair priced in its class. Service was spectacular and staff were all amazing. I must say with view of the beach while eating sets a great ambiance as well. Great place!

I had a wonderful experience at Duke's Huntington Beach! I'm vegetarian so I had the Wild Mushroom & Spinach Ravioli. It had a coconut curry sauce that was not too spicy and I thought it was quite tasty. It was my first time coming, so I was happy that they had a vegetarian meal option. For my beverage I had "The Volcano" which is like a strawberry piña colada (virgin). It was SOOOO GOOD!! I highly recommend it. For dessert we shared the Hula Pie, it was very tasty and HUGE. It had a chocolate cookie crust, macadamia nut ice cream, and chocolate fudge and macadamia nut topping. The service was great, everyone was very welcoming and had a happy attitude. I shared some photos of the decor, it has a Hawaiian theme and is named after Duke Kahanamoku, the father of modern surfing. The location is conveniently right by the beach, 1 minute from the sand.

Visiting their Huntington Beach location was a great experience and brought back memories of our trip to their Maui restaurant. We went for lunch with some friends--it was quite busy, but thanks to our friend's reservation, we were seated quickly. I ordered the batter-fried fish tacos, which were excellent and topped with fresh avocado. We also shared a few sides, including the loaded nachos--perfect for a group--and the sticky ribs, which made for a tasty appetizer. For dessert, we had the original Hula Pie, just like we remembered from Maui, and it was just as delicious.

I've always walked by this place and finally went in for brunch to celebrate family member's birthday. Very nice restaurant as soon as you walk in with amazing views of the beach and pier, we had a great table by the window! Food- coconut shrimp was amazing, crispy and flavorful. I got the ribs and chicken plate which was tasty. Tried the Parmesan crusted fish that a family member got and it was so good I regret not choosing that but look forward to coming back one day. Good drinks as well Also used their valet service option, highly recommend

Duke's is one of our favorites in this area, especially if you're bringing guests to see the Huntington Beach pier. You get great food PLUS a convenient way to park. This place's staff are always at their best, always so nice and courteous--they seem to be all so trained. Special shoutout to our girl Leah who was very friendly and warm, not too overbearing nor condescending, just cool and lively. Clearly knows what customer service is all about! Food is phenomenal as always -- this time, after having a very heavy brunch at an earlier party, I just got the Wedge Salad with Grilled Chicken for dinner, and my boyfriend got the Baked Duke's Fish. The combination of balsamic tomatoes, candied walnuts, bacon and blue cheese with the iceberg lettuce and chicken was so good it makes me want to go back next week :) My boyfriend says his fish plate was bursting with flavor. The ambiance of Duke's is what keeps us coming back. The beach vibes, the celebratory mood...there's always a table celebrating something! This time we shared the restaurant with some guests in their formals-just the perfect place to be in on a Saturday (early) evening.

Came here for dinner during the week and the food was great and our veteran server Jamie was so nice! I got their prime rib dukes style - with added spices on the outside - and it was good but maybe had 25% of fat on it. What was supposed to be 14oz of meat was really 8-10oz at that point. Either way, it was delicious. Mashed potatoes and asparagus was good too but ill probably stick to a filet mignon next time. My mom had their chicken and ribs plate. This was a generous portion with a few sides. She enjoyed this meal. We had a great view and enjoyed our drinks. Their guava soda is delicious and moms lava flow mocktail was nice. Glad Dukes is still in HB! Will come back for lunch next time!

Always a good time at Dukes! Everything I've ever gotten at Duke is really good. We miss going to Duke's in Malibu. We love the service. The food is always good. The drinks are delicious. The ambiance is really nice & all good vibes. I definitely recommend Duke.

Came by last Sunday around noon for lunch. We opted for the Barefoot Bar (in name only). Not a barefoot bar like other locations in which bar seating is in the sand. Place was busy but we were able to get a table quickly. I ordered their Poke Tacos. We also ordered their Black Bean Nachos with chicken. Food was delivered timely and at the right temperature. Food was good but nothing extraordinary. Service was very friendly and efficient. Our server was always smiling. Ambience is relaxing and comfortable.

Came here for brunch since we were at the beach. This place did not disappoint. We were greeted by the hostess and they were able to check us in quickly as well as seat us. We were able to get a table with a view which was nice. Our server Aurora was very kind and helpful. She offer the popular drink like the watermelon lemonade and I immediately ordered it and it did not disappoint. It was so fresh and refreshing, it didn't taste overly sweet. She was also able to tell us the top appetizers so we ordered the crab wontons and nachos to start. The nachos were basic nachos with pork but the crab ragoons are amazing. It had so much actual crab mixed in with the cream cheese. And the plum sauce that pair with it gave it a tart and spicy kick. It didn't seem like the sauce would pair with it by itself but dipping the wonton made it better. Then we order our food which was the loco moco, breakfast sandwich, fish tacos, and the fish. The loco moco was delicious and I would not get enough of it. I wish it had a bit more rice to balance the dish but it was still good none the less. The Mac salad was definitely different, it was good but it wasn't a real hawaiian mac salad unless it's elbow noodles. The fish was perfectly cooked with a crunch from the mac nut crust and herb. Soft and flakey on the side with a crunch on the outside. The taco and sandwich were good as well but the main dishes were the loco moco and mac nut fish. We also got the hula pie, which drew us to the place and it did not disappoint. Of wasn't a actual pie but and ice cream pie and it was so good. It is huge so be prepared to share with a group of 4 or so. The ice cream with mac nut and a ore crust with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Definitely coming back to try their dinner options next time.

Horrifying experience. A roach crawled into my food. Saw a rat scurrying on the floor. Valet parked. My surfboard wallet True Religion Jeans stolen from Valet . I demanded to see the cameras. Had to call the cops on tall dark dude who tried to fight me. Scary place...

Thank you Duke's for the perfect birthday brunch! We had a reservation for Sunday morning at 11:30AM. We arrived just in time and parked valet which was $11 for 3 hours. We were seated right away by the windows with a beautiful view of the pier and beach go-ers. I forgot the name of our server (sorry!), but the service was great and he made sure we had a beautiful dining experience. I ordered the Sautéed Mac Nut & Herb Crusted Fresh Fish, and it was very delicious and filling. Then, I received a Hula Pie as the birthday dish!! That was the main reason I wanted to dine at Duke's, so a Hula Pie on the house really made my day. What We Ordered: Panko-Crusted Calamari - small dish, small serving if sharing PPOG - yummy juice Sautéed Mac Nut & Herb Crusted Fresh Fish - delicious! Duke's Classic Burger Steak & Eggs Fish & Chips

As I'm always out on travel, I like to visit different places around the country. It had been probably seven or eight years since I stopped at Duke's -thought I'd go ahead and give it another try. I was not disappointed. Even though it's kind of touristy, my server was incredibly nice and very helpful. As it was taco Tuesday (yay) I opted for the taco special, one fish, and one steak. Both outstanding! Conveniently located right next to the pier, Post dinner sunset was just a bonus!

If you're looking for the best dessert in town, go to Duke's and order the macadamia nuts ice cream! Trust me...you'll be experiencing something amazing. It's like experiencing your first kiss on every bite! The service is pretty legit also as they give you that same Aloha spirit just like Duke's in Hawaii. The ambience is very chill and island vibes. The price is fair for being located in Huntington Beach.

Had a great weekend lunch at Duke's, combining OK food, great dessert, great company, beautiful weather, and an awesome view for a memorable experience. One of six Duke's locations in Hawaii and California (we've been to five of them now), this one in Huntington Beach is located on the beachside of the PCH, allowing for some great views of the pier and all the surfers enjoying themselves on the Beach's famous waves. Since we were going to go on the pier afterwards, we parked in a city garage across the street...which required a little walk to the restaurant but gave an opportunity to do a little sightseeing. I made a reservation the day-of for Sunday brunch, and even though we came almost an hour early, they were able to fit us in 20 minutes, putting our party of three at a table right against the huge windows overlooking the said beach. Unlike some other Duke's, this one in Huntington Beach does not have outdoor dining. In the same building, on the lower floor at beach level is Sandy's Beach Shack (diff restaurant), if outdoor beach dining is what you want. My wife and her mom shared a no-alcohol POG slushie ($10), with Mom stating that she could definitely taste the guava. I got a 20oz Salty Crew Blonde Ale ($11.50) which went great with the heavy food. My Loco Moco ($19) was good, with a dark brown flavorful gravy and a large, good quality hamburger patty that had been cooked over an oven flame (could definitely taste and smell that char). It also came with a sunny side egg, white rice, and an OK mac salad on the side. Mom tried the Ribs and Chicken Plate lunch ($25). The ribs definitely were not fall-off-the-bone, instead had a substantial bite, almost too dry. Mom really enjoyed the huli huli chicken, mac salad, and the macadamia nut coleslaw. My wife had her stand-by: fish & chips ($23). It was beer battered cod with fries, slaw, and a tartar sauce. I got to try a piece, and it was decent: a flaky cod loin with a very heavy beer batter, perhaps a little over-fried. Shoestring fries were a good accompaniment. We were celebrating a birthday, so with that came a complementary Hula Pie Slice (normally $15). It has to be one of my favorite desserts at any restaurant (give me ice cream cake every day and night, please), and the 'slice' was big enough for the three of us to eat as much as we wanted. Quite a few other parties were celebrating a birthday too. Like usual, the pie is so thick that most of it is frozen solid in the middle: a sturdy 'spork' works wonders in this case. Payment was handled via Toast tableside, which made the process easy. Bobby, our waiter, and the team was great throughout, never letting us wait for anything. It was a great experience, and glad we took Mom here for one of her first meals as a new California resident.

had a great experience at Dukes tonight. The food was delicious, but it was the service of my waitress Jessica that made the experience an amazing experience she goes above and beyond.

Good eating on Huntington pier. Nice sunset made the ambiance a great time and good service as well.

Duke's has a great ambience with a beautiful view of the ocean. Our waitress was very friendly and the service was solid. We ordered macadamia nut crusted fresh fish, baked fresh fish, and Furikake ahi tuna. All three were cooked excellently. The vegetable sides were all tasty. The portions were a little small for the price though. Definitely recommend.

"How about Duke's in Huntington Beach for your birthday?" my buddy asked. "Sure!" I responded. "I've only been to the one in Waikiki, and that was good, so let's go." So we went. And it was SOOOOO Good! We shared a chicken caesar salad and the ribs and chicken platter. DANG, did that hit the spot where all items were very tasty and prepared perfectly. Dude also gave us a free birthday dessert. Staff was phenomenal! GO HERE!

Please don't say that we're going to get a window seat and sit completely on the opposite side. There were three tables by the window that were empty untill we were done eating. The recommended fish soup was warm and bland and tasted terrible. My fish plate was bland and had no seasonings. My brother didn't like his fish and chips. His fish had a lot of breading on it and very little fish in it. Despite asking for the fries to be crispy, they came out soggy. Our waiter at times was MIA. A couple of times we had to ask other waitresses for refills on our drinks. I'm pretty much done with this place.

have to give this place 5 stars!!! We were a large group with small children and they were so accommodating! The food was amazing and service was exceptional. It really gives you the Hawaiian feel right here in Cali! I've been to the Dukes in Waikiki and this definitely has similar vibes. I recommend the prime rib "dukes style" and the coconut shrimp! The waitress went out of her way to keep our littles comfortable throughout the dinner (bringing coloring pads, crackers, etc.) Highly recommend for a family outing in HB

When we want to feel like we are in Hawaii but really kicking back in Cali we find ourselves at Dukes! Usually we are at Malibu's Duke's, but as we were in Huntington Beach, we stopped in! This is my first time visiting this location since I was a kid and I must tell you not much has changed! We popped down at the bar for some drinks and food. Unlike Malibu the bar is not right along the windows facing the ocean. The bar is located on street side and if window shades are open you may get a bit of view. Otherwise your view is of the restaurant. If this place ever does an overhaul some of the bar should be facing the beach window but I understand the money is in the dinners! The bar is large and rectangular shape. It's an old school wood bar. We had great service at the bar! The bartender told us that he has been with the company for 26 years. Great to see that the company invest in their employees that they want to stay. With regards to food, we always seem to have highs and lows. Our drinks are always good: Mai Thais are always yummy! As for food, the coconut shrimp was a miss: we should have sent it back. They were overcooked and small! As we looked around the restaurant, it looks like all fried food was off. The best coconut shrimp we had was in Kona. And we got the standard fish tacos which were good. The tacos tend to be consistent. The salsa and avocado snack was a good addition. The guacamole was real! Yum! And to finish our meal, we had Hula pie! Hula pies are always good! As you can see from my review always mix feelings about the food but service tends to always be good as well as drinks!

We were looking for a dinner spot and one in our group said this was a god spot. Walked in a 30min wait or open seating in the bar area. Found a great table with a good view. Nice patio heaters made it nice on a chilly March evening. We ordered coconut shrimp app delicious came with some spicy cucumber slices that were delectable. Now the food was another story. Steak was not cooked correctly but was tasty. Burger was undercooked and fries cold. My ribs were not what I expected at all. I did not care for the taste. Once we pointed it out they did make it right I give them a lot of credit for that. Sever was great and apologized for the food. On another noted the wedge salad was aaammmaaaazzziiinnnggg! Pricey but delicious.

It's almost like you're in Honolulu. Huntington Beach is the next best thing. Their Sunday brunch is delicious. I ordered the macadamia nut hummus and a salad for lunch. My brother has the huevos rancheros. It looked delicious! The service was quick and friendly. And of course, the views that overlook the beach are beautiful. It's a beautiful location!

Love, love, LOVE Duke's! It's been awhile since I've last visited Duke's HB, but I am convinced I need to come back more. Why? Enjoying delicious brunch with beach views is a must! We recently visited Duke's HB after the Surf City Marathon Race, mainly because they were one of the venues offering 20% off to all the runners (thank you!) Although we did not make reservations, we waited until they opened at 10 am. We were seated, no problem, once they opened. What a wonderful brunch we had! Our server was so kind & friendly. Our brunch was all very beautifully plated, generous, and most importantly delicious. I got their basic toast, eggs and bacon. That toast may have been one of the best toasts I've tasted! We enjoyed a very pleasant brunch at Duke's with the most wonderful view, food, and service. I hope one day they bring their brunch buffet back! But even if they did not, this visit was a reminder to come back more often. Thanks Duke's!

Our server was incredibly friendly. That being said that was the only good thing. I ordered the ravioli to play it safe and it was by far the worst thing Ive ever eaten in my entire life. The drinks were too sugary as well. The food was so unsatisfying that we bought from somewhere else afterwards.

Food-3.5/5 I highly recommend the seafood hot pot. The coconut flavored soup with such a variety of seafood including scallops, lobster and shrimp! I also recommend the chowder and the poke tacos. The only thing that I don't recommend is the sautéed Mac nut herb crusted fish. That was such a disappointment, lacked flavor whatsoever and super dry. Drinks-3.5/5 their old fashion was super smooth and strong. Just on the small side for $16. I felt the ice cube literally took up the whole drink. Service 5/5- our table wasn't quite ready yet so we went to the bar first and our first waitress (I didn't catch her name) was super nice and accommodating. Then we went to our main table which we requested an ocean view and we got it, Michael our waiter was super nice and great as well! Ambiance-5/5 there was live music that played classic Hawaiian music, it was really good and entertaining. Also if u get a good table with an ocean view, the view is beautiful! Valet is available and the guy who did it was some lazy young worker I wasn't too fond of. U can pay for parking thru a general meter...that's if u can find one bc there is very limited parking.

My friends celebrated my birthday here, and It was a fantastic gift. I was so happy! We had a great time, and our friendship grew even stronger. Our server was kind and provided the must try Hula Pie as my birthday special treat! One of my friends he had missed this ice cream so we ordered an extra one, which surprised our server. Of course, we finished all - I'm an ice cream addict haha!! I also loved the ambiance and enjoyed the view of the beach at sunset. I'd like to come back in the near future

Great service! It was easy to get a reservation and was easy to get seated. I like the Hawaiian inspired food options. All the drinks we ordered were tasty as well. It's right next to the Huntington Beach pier so a great spot to eat at then go walk by. We got the Hawaiian breakfast which was delicious! Totally forgot to take a picture. Also tried the POG flavored drinks and guava daquiri which were all quite yummy

We sat at the table overlooking the beautiful ocean and we had a great waiter who is so cute. The gluten-free Keylime pie was good. I would've just had that instead of dinner. My Ono was underwhelming. Macadamia Nut Hummus was good but a very tiny portion for $15

Beautiful place. Environment was good. Service was good. Food was good too pretty chill place

Excellent service and quality food. Not a bad view either. Our kids love the Hula Pie.

Food is always delicious and the ambiance and view are incredible. The wait staff is friendly and helpful.

Shout out Logan (the gentleman that seated us) and Michael (our server) Logan was able to accommodate our seating request and Michael was such a delight! We came for dessert only and he made us feel so welcomed :) Ambiance was wonderful with views all around!

Best ambience and view in Huntington Beach. There are no other options. The staff is very pleasant. From greeting to serving. I highly recommend you try Dukes.

1st off, TOP notch service by Addison the bartender. Attentive and responsive. Best I've had @ Dukes. Drinks slapped! Maitai- only place to order it, phenomenal. Hazy IPA- excellent. Now, I hope I'm not over-stating it here. BEST Ceasar salad ever BEST Calamari ever ***** I have had hundreds of both... I know it sounds crazy! But just to prove it, the Kalua pork sandwich was terrible. Fast food jobs get this dish right... weird. Duke's!! Almost with the 5 comes in @ 4.5 Wait staff had great chemistry, so I love that too.

Such a cool spot! Always busy but always a fun vibe. Big fan of the fish chowder. Great view of the ocean on the PCH.

Upon looking at other reviews I see food poisoning has become a significant problem with Dukes, especially around the time my daughter contracted it. Very surprising they would not acknowledge it and allowed people to continue to become sick. Shameful.

Today my grandmother and I decided to head down to Huntington Beach, so I made a reservation at Duke's. I've been to multiple locations of Duke's which i truly like, but this one seems and feels like a tourist trap. We started off with the Crispy Coconut Shrimp which were good and all, but I wouldn't say the portion was correct for $19. For entrees, we ordered the Sashimi, Caesar Salad, and the Fish and Chips. My grandmother said the fish and chips were so-so because the amount of fish lacked as most of it was breading. She said the fries and coleslaw are the only things that saved the dish. I started off with the sashimi which for $22, was a generous portion. The quality of the fish wasn't the highest and had a little bit of a fishy taste. Overall, I wouldn't order this again. The Caesar Salad had a really good taste with the crunchiness of the broken up croutons. The dressing was citrusy which I like. The portion for $13 was a little small, but I have to understand this is a lunch-sized salad. Overall, The other locations I've been to are more beautiful and you don't feel like your at a restaurant at Disneyland. The service was attentive with refilling the drinks and making sure the items are good. I am willing to try it again for dinner as I am a huge fan of their Macadamia Fish, but I will not be returning for the brunch. I give this experience a 7/10.

Wonderful restaurant with great views of the beach and a lovely atmosphere. We ordered the Crab Wonton appetizer, Sauteed Macadamia Nut and Herb Crusted Opah and the Seared Ahi Bowl. The Duke's Mai Tai was really good and potent and the Maui Watermelon drink was just so so. The Ahi Bowl is a 20 out of 10 with lots of different flavors that all come together beautifully. Also loved the Mac Nut Opah with a lemon caper butter sauce although some bites were a bit dry without the caper butter sauce. For dessert, definitely recommend the Hula Pie with macadamia nut ice cream and fudge topping! All and all we really enjoyed the restaurant and food and our server Brett was outstanding making the experience even better with the perfect amount of service and recommendations throughout our meal!

Needed a speedy lunch before an appointment and Duke's bar area was the perfect spot! Loved that it was kid-friendly and open seating. We were seated, ordered, and had our food in under 10 minutes - amazing! The fish tacos were delicious, and the fish and chips hit the spot. Plus, their IPA selection was solid. Everything was tasty and exactly what we needed for a quick bite. Service was friendly and super efficient. And let's be real, the beachside environment is unbeatable. Definitely coming back to Duke's for a longer, more leisurely meal next time. Highly recommend if you're looking for good food and fast service in a great location!

My first time at this Dukes and everything was gooodddd! Mai Tai, bomb, poke tacos, wish they gave us more for the price but still bomb, the avocado toast was surprisingly more exciting and bombtastic than I was expecting when I ordered it! I don't even usually eat tomatoes but seeing how well prepared and coordinated all the different pieces on the plate were I had to eat it all together and it was amazing. Wish I could eat more of the little radish slices like a side snack they were so yummy most well-topped and colorful avocado toast I've ever had, would definitely order again. I love a healthy breakfast to start the day!

We came here on Father's Day. Last minute reservation and they were able to seat us with an amazing view in the dinner area. Friendly service, Island Vibes, and great atmosphere. Seafood is fresh and delish! You're paying for the ambiance for sure. I wasn't too impressed with the food and my fave is the Mac Nut Hummus but I had better luck when I was In Maui. They serve it with Taro chips there... otherwise - it's definitely a vibe here and you get a little taste of the islands. I went home with all their Merch! Hahaa. Love me some Duke's Merch.

Surprisingly very yummy! We ordered the French toast and breakfast burrito and enjoyed both. We also ordered a side of bacon which was delicious. Ambiance and service were great. The restaurant gives off a Hawaii/beach vibe. The place is really spacious and it's very easy to make reservation online. Also, it's located right on the beach so you have a great view of the ocean! Will definitely come back.

5 stars for the hula pie!! But the dinner menu only had a hand full of options which was very disappointing. Come to find out they have a bar menu that had additional options which we didn't find out about until we nearly finished eating and seen a delicious looking hamburger walk by and we thought "that wasn't on the menu!!!" The prime rib was mid. The poke tacos :delicious!!! Everything did seem fresh. My rating went from 5 to 3 for the lack of options and due to our waiter and constantly feeling like he was upselling everything on the menu.... It felt like he was pressuring us to order an additional appetizer then additional drinks then additional dessert even though we hadn't finished our first. It was odd and uncomfortable Great location with a great view.

I have been to the La Jolla location several times so while on a work trip decided to bring a group here! It was great but coverall I prefer the La Jolla location a little but more for their outdoor patio and food. Began with a lemonade yuzu drink which was delicious and as a table we ordered a lot of appetizers! Loved the macadamia nut hummus and the calamari, poke tacos that I normally love were underwhelming and lacked flavor. I had the Ahi as a main course and the fish was cooked perfectly and and weirdly the rice which I was not planning on eating - might have been the best thing about the fish! It was all dressed with chili paste which I normally love but there was just too much of it and it made the whole fish salty and too hot ! Not a fan and would not order this again. We ended with their desserts - the must have Hula pie which is always phenomenal and the key lime pie which is not normally a dish k like but Thai was so light and tangy, best I have tried. Service was amazing throughout the night for our larger party and the views are just stunning!
