Duke’s Seafood & Chowder Review - Green Lake - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Duke’s is a Seattle seafood institution, so you can expect things like crab cakes, fried shrimp, chowder, and a huge wait for a table in a space that feels like a stuffy landlocked boat. You can also expect to be pretty disappointed. If the food was great, we wouldn't mind having to order using the goofy phrases written in their menu, like: "Rockin' Rockfish Tacos," "It's So Dreamy Parmesan Halibut," and our very least favorite, "Blessed By The Pope Seafood Cioppino." But we've found that most of this seafood, from salmon stuffed with soggy breadcrumbs to coconut-crusted prawns, is tremendously overcooked and unpleasant. For a city that prides itself on food that comes from the water, it's not a good look. It's not a good taste either. If you're practically being dragged here by tourists or stubborn locals who love "the good old days," it's not going to be the end of the world. Get a basket of "oh my cod! fish and chips" and move on with your life. But before all of that, do try your best to convince your group to eat somewhere else." - Aimee Rizzo

14 Fantastic Green Lake Restaurants

"This Seattle icon’s Green Lake location is just minutes from the water, making it a perfect spot to tuck into some clam chowder after a walk. Be warned: the family-owned spot has a casual vibe, but a steep price tag. That’s because all of their seafood is fresh, and sustainably harvested, with most of it coming in from Alaska. Menu standouts include the Dungeness crab cake (skip the sandwich version; it overpowers the delicate crab); stuffed halibut, filled with crab, prawns, and pesto; and panko-crusted fish and chips. The chowders are also a highlight, including a slightly sweet lobster chowder and a cioppino-style chowder with salmon, halibut, and cod. Get a sampler to try them all. Duke’s outdoor deck is open throughout the year, and there are happy hours from 3 to 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. to close." - Sarah Engstrand

This was an almost disaster that was saved by the Manager Lauren. We had 7 o'clock reservations but once we arrived they told us that the reservations were made too late and couldn't be honored even with confirmation. BUT there were immediate solutions offered. They called other restaurants and checked times at the current tables. We ended up sitting at the bar and not even five minutes later they gave us the only table available. The manager stayed past her shift to work our table. Any issue we had she resolved it immediately. We had such a great time and really enjoyed the food. We were even seating rough near the water outside. I didn't know we had to pay for parking but it wasn't super expensive. It seems they share a lot with a lot of other businesses. There is a free lot next door. They have a parking pass to our birthday girl so I loved that! Thank you so much Lauren M.!

We've always been able to get a table at Duke's - either inside or outside. My preferred seating is the booths. I never knew there was one small tiny table by the front door that only sits 2 and can barely fit more than 2 entree plates and 2 cups. We were first seated there last time when multiple booths were open all throughout the restaurant, including ones near occupied tables. Luckily, we were able to move to a larger booth because I knew we would need more table space. The service is always on point at this Duke's location. There were 2 separate large groups the last time I was there, which made the restaurant extremely noisy. Before then, I didn't realize how small the restaurant space is with how tightly they cram all the tables. The food is usually decent at Duke's, but not mind blowing. They're also on the pricier side. I understand the prices for anything with seafood, but the burgers are $22+ outside happy hour. The only item I've tried that I wouldn't order again is the crab cake because it was underwhelming. The sauces and aiolis used on multiple dishes are very tasty. They're usually generous with the sauce for the prawns del Cabo wabo, so I try to find some way to finish it off. It looks like the prawns have changed and might be smaller from previous years. They seem closer to shrimp. About the cod fish and chips: they come on a giant fish shaped plate, so I don't know how 2 plates plus drinks could fit on their smallest table. Their tartar sauce is delicious, and I could even eat just that on its own. The fries were crispy, but thick. I usually like thinner fries, but the crispiness made up for that. The forks at Duke's are much larger/longer than I'm used to, so it's hard to eat the coleslaw/salad in the tiny bowl. The tacos come on huge tortillas, so I usually end up having to eat with a fork until there's a little bit left. Otherwise, the tacos are messy to eat because there's so much on top. The green salsa that comes with the tacos is good, but not spicy.

I’ve been coming here for over 10 years. Lots of memories w my family, stealing bites of my grandmas pesto tortellini after this last time probably not going back. Over 80 bucks w tip for two chowder x salad combos and two sodas. The chowder x salad combo is nearly 30 bucks for a small bowl of chowder and a mediumish salad. The chowder is amazing, don’t get me wrong - but price/serving sizes should absolutely be a factor in the rating of a restaurant. Extremely average Caesar salad and the sesame one was below average, I’ve had better from a bag. Left hungry too. Our server was extremely attentive, kind, and fun to be around.

I've been here before and enjoyed it! Same for this visit - I had the stuffed Dungeness crab Halibut. It was incredibly rich and cheesy - almost too much, which I felt distracted a bit from the fresh taste of the crab and fish. Super tender and even better when dipped into the creamy pesto sauce. The side broccolini seemed quickly blanched - I would have preferred a more roasted side of broccolini & potatoes, but they were both surprisingly sweet and good nonetheless. The fried salmon bites are amazing, especially in the fry sauce. The starter bread is hot right out of the oven, soft, and tasty. Very attentive and great service. Water always refilled and fun food recommendations. I wish that the entree was a little more perfect considering that this is a pretty pricey dinner - I spent about $75 for one entree and one appetizer. Happy hour is only $3 off but at least it's something. Minimal vegetarian & vegan options but they do ask & care about allergens.

We tried this restaurant once, and the food was great, but the service needed improvement. They took too long for everything except seating us at the table, and it was difficult to find the staff once we were seated. We attributed this to having a bad server and an unfortunate day. We came back today and were seated at a table, but it took 10 minutes for someone to bring water. We decided to leave 10 minutes later when no one acknowledged us. There should be better communication between the servers and the host, and the servers don't seem to help each other. Overall, the servers needs better supervision. We’ll never be back. It’s a shame because the food and atmosphere are very nice.

All of the food was incredible! The sourdough bread was a delicious start. Fish and chips was great - perfect flavor, perfect breading, perfectly cooked fish. The potato wedges were perfect too - soft on the inside and deliciously crunchy on the outside. Stuffed halibut was also very yummy with the potatoes and zucchini. A little pricey for the actual portion of fish you get, though. Cocktails were also well made and yummy. Our server was fantastic and super on top of everything.

I took my mama here for a belated mother's day date and was blown away! We shared the Stuffed and Puffed Jumbo Prawns and they were heavenly. Our server Andrea was a total sweetheart and made us feel super welcome! My Bloody Mary came with 2 prawns as well- best garnish ever! Delightful, high quality sourdough bread service. Super approachable and inviting dining experience! Well done Duke's

We met a couple for a double date at Duke's. We had reserved a table for four. We were hoping to be seated outside, but they said the wait would be twenty minutes, so we sat inside. We ordered: 1 Small Bowl of Award-Winning Clam Chowder 1 Off the Hook Stuffed Salmon 1 Large The Pope's Seafood Cioppino 1/2 Mouthwatering Marionberry Pie (with ice cream) The award-winning Clam Chowder was just okay--I may have asked for too much pepper, which overpowered the flavor. The seafood in the Cioppino was plentiful and fresh, but the broth was a bit bland and reminded me more of a vegetable soup than the Cioppino I've had in San Francisco. My wife really enjoyed her Stuffed Salmon, and our two friends were happy with their meals as well. For dessert, we shared the Marionberry Pie with ice cream. I'm not usually a dessert person, but this pie was mouthwateringly good--sweet, tart, and warm with just the right contrast from the cold ice cream. Definitely a highlight. Our server, Mark, was very friendly, and it was nice how many regulars seemed to know him by name. The service was solid, and the restaurant setting was comfortable and appealing. Prices were on the higher side, but that's expected for fresh seafood in a nice location.

I had a lovely meal here recently on a gorgeous day. Very easy to reach from I-5 and a lovely patio adjacent to the Greenlake park's splash pool for kids - I wish we had brought a swimsuit for my son. Our table had fish, sandwiches, and pasta and we were all pleased with our meals. It didn't blow me away but I don't have any complaints about the food. The restaurant manager needs to give the servers a break though - almost everyone is out on the patio on a hot day and the servers are all in jeans and a black shirt sweating bullets. It's ridiculous to require that dress code under those circumstances.

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday! It had a great atmosphere since it is seafood themed. I was impressed by the service as well. Our host was helpful and everything went smoothly. My friend had a coupon she used to get a bottle of wine 50% off and then we also all got free dessert! That was a nice perk! For my entree I had the crabcakes, which were some of the best I ever had. They were mostly crab, like the name says. A little pricey but totally worth it! I also had some of the fried squid to start. We also waited for the evening happy hour and got some discounted cocktails. Mine was a gin drink and very good.

Mark was our server; and absolutely amazing server at that! Stuffed & puffed prawns were amazing, veggies id probably prefer to substitute. Deviled eggs were good, little heavy on mustard so maybe took away from crab but overall good and would get again! Steamed clams were buttery perfection. Lobster chowder, not for me, def on the sweet side. Great stop after walking green lake which is right across the street. But what made our visit the best was definitely Marks customer service! Thank you!

This place is actually across the street from Green lake and not really by the water. If you're seated outside, you can see the park and lake from across the street. They do have a small parking lot behind the restaurant. We were lucky that someone pulled out when we got there. The inside was a bit crowded and loud. Not that we mind because our toddlers made contributions to the volume. The food was good. We tried the quad dinghy chowder samplers, but of course the award winning clam chowder was still the fave of all. I enjoyed the coco loco prawns and clam lover's steamed clams the best. We also had the oh my cod! fish and chips, and the rockin' rockfish tacos. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Gave us a bit of the chowder history. The highlight of my meal was the amazingly good cucumber mojito! Oh... it was a necessity that evening and it did not disappoint!

For years and years I have been doing takeout and Dine in at dukes greenlake and dukes bellevue. Dukes staff and managers treat you like family. Dukes is very very accommodating. The food is always top notch and well prepared and presented. No matter what you order from chowder, fish chips, fresh halibut or even dukes cheeseburgers you can't go wrong!! Dukes has addicting sourdough bread before the meal comes out. Dukes is unique to the Puget sound region and provides local flavor.

I really enjoyed the outdoor sitting while eating my fish and chips. The lobster chowder was cook to perfection but the temperature of the chowder could be hotter.The waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and kept the drinks flowing. The view of the Lake was a plus while eating lunch.

I made a reservation in advance since I was traveling with a group for work. It was a pretty busy night for a Thursday night. It's got some old decor charm in it and super cute location. There is a lake near by so it would be nice to try it out in warmer weather to be able to sit on the patio. I couldn't decide what to get since there are soooo many options. I decided to get the Prawn, Scallop, and Uncake crab cake mixed grill. I wanted to also try the Award Winning Clam chowder so I got the dinghy size. Our server was super nice and quick. We got our food pretty quickly. They dropped off basket of warm sourdough bread! The dinghy is about a 2oz sample size of soup. It was perfect to not fill me up too much before my entree. The clam chowder is indeed delicious!! I almost regretted not just getting that in a bread ball. My mixed grill plate was a lot of food! The sides were asparagus and potato's. Everything was cooked well. I really enjoyed the crab "un"cake. It's called that due to having more crab than "cake." I definitely want to come back and have more clam chowder. My co-works mentioned enjoying all of their choices (salmon pasta & rockfish tacos).

We wanted to love this meal. My young adult daughter is a huge seafood fan, and she was tempted by many things on the menu. Ultimately, she decided on wasabi salmon bites, lobster chowder, and the un crab cake sandwich. The salmon bites were good, the chowder was fine, but the un crab cake sandwich was a gloppy mess with way too much mayo. I had a disappointing chicken sandwich with heavily oiled rosemary bread and uneven, half melted cheese. The prices are for a higher end restaurant but the food we received was suburban chain restaurant at best. The service was warm and friendly, though our waiter turned a blind eye to our half eaten and picked apart sandwiches.

Really enjoyed the seafood here. We were immediately seated for dinner on a weekday. There's ample space for large groups. The service was quick and timely but they did forget some items. I ordered the pistachio crusted halibut and a cup of chowder however they forgot my cup of chowder. When we asked for the chowder they bought out the large bowl and charged me for it. All in all it was still a good experience if you're looking for good seafood.

Had reservations which are not required, but would recommend. Service was prompt and helpful with our selections. Prices are pretty steep based on portion size. However, this was one of the best meals on our vacation. Loved the music that was being played. The blueberry lemonade was well worth the splurge. Dungeness Crab dip was very tasty and came to the table piping hot. Both the Salmon and Halibut were flavorful and moist.

Duke's @ Greelake rarely disappoints, and today after a personally seldomly traveled stroll around Green Lake, we stopped to wet our whistle and light snack. Again we were not disappointed. Place was packed at 7:30 pm on a Sunday. Lovely day, no clouds, light breeze. Perfect combination for a serving of steamers and tall cool and frosty beverage. Need to do this lake loop stroll more often. Staff was great team, thanks guys and gals

Bought something off marketplace in Seattle on way back to Woodinville my girl and I decided to cozy up to Dukes on a drizzly Monday night. BLOWN AWAY by the Halibut Quesadilla. GET IT!!! SO DEADLY! Wasabi Aioli was on point. Mark the bartender was exceptional at his craft and service was impeccable with his colleague Rebecca. Chdidn't manager didn't mind when I said the F word in the bar. Bottomless warm sourdough Bread with salted butter. This is the Pacific Northwest at its finest. Cozy,Warm, Killer food, Wine, beer and service. Check it out. 5 Star Experience

This did not disappoint. We were in the area for a hiking trip and my friend asked what we wanted for dinner...when on the pacific coast, SEAFOOD!!! So she took us here. I got the Dungeness Crab Stuff Halibut and it was absolutely amazing! The creamy sauce that it was played atop was a perfect pair. It was served over baby potatoes and snap peas. I ate every bite! Dinner started with a fresh hand shaken margarita and their fresh sourdough bread (which is also amazing and you could easily fill up on that), then I followed it up with a Blood Orange Margarita. Pleasantly surprised with both drinks Dessert consisted of a shared Betty Boop Brownie/cookie. Which was delicious, but I didnt care the vanilla ice cream that came with it.

Service was very good. Seated right away with reservations and wait staff attentive. Quality and portions of food were all good. Love the complimentary sourdough bread and butter. Came warm each time. Chowder sampler Comes with Cajun chicken corn chowder, northwest seafood chowder, original clam chowder, and lobster chowder. The best is the original clam chowder. Then the Cajun chicken corn chowder was good. Not a fan of the northwest and lobster ones. Seafood Cioppino - husband liked it but too tangy and tomatoey for me. Stuffed salmon - all good ingredients but it was only ok Still overall, solid restaurant for seafood. Too bad they don't have fresh oysters.

What the heck?? $26.90 for a SINGLE rockfish taco???!!! Prices here have gone through the roof. It's no longer a place I can afford to eat. If you REALLY want to dine outside on a gorgeous sunny day then I guess it's the thing to do but bring a fat wallet. Everything is super $$$ and portions not that big. A $26.90 taco should be more than three bites.

Loved dukes!! I haven't been in years and I was I had come back sooner. I went on a sunny evening after walking the lake and sat outside on their patio. The seafood is so fresh and the service is awesome. Really recommend if you are in town and wanting fresh seafood with calm atmosphere.

Service has always been nice every time I have been. They turn the TV to whatever game we want to watch at the bar which is nice. Whenever the weather is good, it is hard to get a seat outside but that's expected. Seafood is my favorite. It is always quality here. I highly recommend the halibut which melts on the tongue. I also love the crab deviled eggs.

Yahya A.

Terrible. I paid $23 for a 12 ounce bowl of chowder to go from this location. I was expecting some really really good chowder for that price so I was willing to give it a shot. It was clearly old chowder and wasn't all that good. While it was above average for a chowder it was not anything to write home about. Ivar's is a lot better and so is Pike Place Market. I will enjoy seeing this place going out of business as I think there prices are highway robbery.

$16 for a bowl of clam chowder seems like suuuuuch overkill. Everyone says this chowder is the best, but honestly I don't think it's that great. A little watery, not too many clams - it didn't have that hearty seafood feel. Maybe it's the east coast in me..the service was wonderful, the view was nice and the sourdough bread was good.

Fantastic! Prices are higher than I anticipated but the food was amazing and the servers were very personable. They have great little touches like bread, fresh cracked pepper when you get your food, and little recipe cards for the menu items in between the plate and the charger/saucer. The overall vibe of the restaurant is slightly more formal than something like Ivars, but is totally a place I could see bringing a well behaved child.

We met our friends here for dinner for the first time ever and we got a table outside. The view was absolutely beautiful and the heat lamps kept us warm. I highly recommend the salmon which was cooked to perfection and perfectly paired with its sides. We loved the warm bread that they serve at the table, so much that we asked for another basket. Wonderful experience. I can't wait to come back here again! FYI the parking is free on one side of the parking lot however the rest of the spots you need to valet your car.

Highly recommended by a dear friend- we popped in for an early dinner today in Seattle. My wicked food allergy proved fun to navigate the menu- but our server went above and beyond to make sure I picked a dish that was pepper free! This was after I ordered a blueberry-lemon drop & was very comfortable while the server ran back and forth from the kitchen. I ordered the parmesan crusted halibut and they served it with pasta for me (the potatoes had cayenne pepper- I can't have that either) & grilled zucchini. John order a fish taco, which was huge!!! And Robert for a combination plate with the dungeness crab un-cakes, prawns and scallops. I also added grilled prawns to my meal to split with John. We were only a few bites in and Robert announced this was the best seafood we've had all week! I think he was probably right- but you will pay for that "best"- it's a little pricey. My halibut was spectacular! And it paired nicely with the linguine alfredo! John said it was very good, nicely done and one of the best fish tacos he has ever had. He also said it had a sweet finish to it, that was unexpected- but delicious. You also get served warm sourdough bread. They have a great outdoor patio, but I was outvoted and we sat inside. I am so happy I listened to my gf!

Went to Dukes for lunch with my daughter after some shopping downtown, and we were greeted warmly by the hostess and taken to our seat. After a few moments our server Landon came over and introduced himself. Honestly, I have been to Dukes for years but, Landon made this a lovely experience for us. He was busy with many other tables, but made us feel very special. We both noticed that the other tables weee engaging with him as well. We look forward to going back and seeing him again.

5 stars especially for the service!! My boyfriend and I were extremely thankful they sat us before 15 mins closing, and did not rush as at all. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Our server recommended that I get the salmon pasta which was so decadent and delicious. The bell peppers gave it a nice crunch and the salmon itself was to die for. Our server also recommended a wine pairing which was spot on. We had a great dinner here and will recommend. It was our first time here and we hope to be back when we are in town.

Service is 5 star hands down. The service is always great at the Greenlake location. They're dog friendly outdoors and are great to our pups. Or just for drinks, it's a great hangout place in the afternoon. But it's a different story when it comes to their food. This 2-star review is only for their food. I have been coming here for 1.5 years (and only for my dogs, not for their food). Their food is nowhere as good as their other location. I was never going to write a review for this place, but this last visit was the straw that broke the camel's back. I ordered the royal ranch burger melt and salmon bites. Their burger was sooooo tasteless. I was beyond belief that they didn't throw in anything simple and basic like garlic salt. Or even salt. Just sprinkle some salt on it yourself? Right, because I pay $22 for a burger so I can pour salt over it... I asked for medium, it came out well done. Comes with bacon in my burger you say? What bacon? It was completely missing. I was so disappointed with it, I just dipped my burger (or rather, a glorified, tasteless, greasy sandwich with hardened square sandwich bread) into ketchup, ranch, and the sauce that came with the salmon bites. I feel terrible for the grass-fed cow; what a waste of good meat. How was this dish supposed to taste? How yummy was it? I wouldn't know, because I'm never ordering it again. The salmon bites on the outside was soft, not crunchy like their other location. It was NOT like I ordered for takeout and brought it home and the crunch had fallen flat. The coating was like thin soft bread. I'm here thinking, why do I keep coming here if it wasn't for my dogs? The other location never has this problem. You know, now that I'm typing all this, I just wonder if the chef yesterday forgot to put seasoning in ANYTHING. The food I've got before had taste to it, but this time was just completely tasteless. Which made the whole greasiness of this dish that much more nauseating. Only thing that saved it were the sauces. I just left really dissatisfied... as I do every single time. But at least the other times the foods were sub-par. This time is was much less than. Was it necessary to write this review, not really. But I paid. I pay every time, never complain, and keep my negative comments to myself. I feel a bit like I should be able to voice my frustration and opinion about this place. I've just... idk... had enough of being lenient just because times are hard for all businesses. Regardless of whether or not it can compare to the other place, what is wrong with this place that their food is always so disappointing (with this last time, disappointment level just takes the cake)? The chef/fry cook? The quality of the food? Sigh. Smh.

For me, this is a Happy Hour place. The food is good but not very innovative and way overpriced. I had the Un Chopped Seafood Salad $29.90 and Halibut Quesadilla appetizer $18.90 and both were good but not worth the cost. Duke's is an iconic Seattle seafood restaurant chain and worthy of a visit for out-of-towners. For locals, it's a reasonable Happy Hour choice, or dinner if you want good basic seafood and have a LOT of money to spend. They have an outdoor patio but it is not dog friendly :-( which is odd because Seattle is the most dog crazy/dog friendly city in the USA.

We were in Seattle and my step son wanted clam chowder. My husband and I had been to another location of Duke's, and when we found out this location was by our hotel we decided to give it a shot. We were seated immediately, and the food and drinks came out shortly. Service was friendly and quick. It's a relatively casual place, lots of people were in T-shirts, but there were some people dressed up a bit more. Great food, we will totally be back when we are in the area again!

Dukes is a Seattle staple with some great options for take out and sit down. Only negative is the price for what you get otherwise the food is great. The atmosphere and wait staff is also charming. We got the claim chowder, coconut prawns and the north west claim chowder and bread bowl

Food, especially the chowder was fantastic. Service could not have been better. Certainly well worth the hunt for a parking spot! Loved the food so much, we ordered extra to take to family.

Came because Im across the street and stumbled upon during happy hour. Surprisingly excellent food! Prices are very high for what feels like a glorified seafood diner but the service is wonderful and the food is actually delicious. 100% recommend the sweet potato fries. Probably the fluffiest, lightest, best tasting sweet taters I've had. Chowder and shrimp was perfect as well. It's a bit pricey but happy hours are kinda worth. Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Experience: 6/10 Value: 6/10

I love the ambiance of the restaurant. Kind of old original little restaurant with old high booth chairs that creates boundaries between other parties. The server was wonderful. He came to check up on us so many times. The only similar complaint I have is the same as bellevue location. The small little chowder costs 14 dollars and that is just too difficult to justify.
