Duke's Seafood

Slightly taken aback once we realized that the restaurant was in the mall, but once you get inside the feeling is of any stand alone restaurant. Calamari was great with a very light batter on it. Both the Hot Honey and Tequila Lime Aiolis sauces accented beautifully. The New England Clam chowder was good with lots of meat. The beer batter cod was strange to me. Instead of being light and flaky, it seemed more like a bread crumb crust than beer batter. The cod itself was good. I’m not a big coleslaw fan, but this was very dry with little or no sauce and seemed more like a salad. The warm sourdough bread and butter was very good. The butter in a bowl looked very nice, but was not the most effective delivery. Jean-Luc was attentive without being bothersome.

The food was good, but the portion size was small. I tried a variety of the options they had, and was happy with all of them. I would come back and try other dishes. Oh and the bread was to hard, but I know thats how its served at most places, so I didn't eat much of that.

Visited on Friday afternoon and went back Sunday evening. Sat at the bar, both times, great service, very attentive. 1st visit, had a Woodinville Whiskey Sour, very good. Clam Chowder, outstanding and bread, sourdough, fresh out of oven warm, fantastic. 2nd visit, Mezcal Old Fashioned (photo), clam chowder, shrimp, wrapped in bacon with spiced up maple syrup, terrific. The Old Fashioned was fantastic. I'll be back.

Was in the area and stopped in for a quick bite during the daily Happy hour, but it didn’t save much $. Even their appetizers and drinks start at $15-20, and happy hour price is mostly $3 off ($5 off of their overpriced burgers). The meals that used to priced between $25-35 are now $28-45, even for a burger…So much for lower inflation! I had their Dinghy-sized Trio of their chowders, they are tasty but were very salty and it’s not very much food. I’d rather dine at a better location than a mall when I’m spending that kind of money for fine dining. Never again.

The "heavenly halibut" was just that: delicious! (See pic). Would definitely order this again and recommend to friends and family. The sourdough bread and chowder were also very good. My date had the salmon but it was not as good as the halibut. I gave four stars instead of five overall because of the service. The host sat us next to a door on the patio that kept opening and closing. After sitting for a minute, we switched seats to be away from the door that kept opening and closing. They had not taken our drink order yet, and we told the host when we saw her again, so we did not think it would be a big deal. After that the waiter and waitress sharing the patio seemed to fighting about who was going to be our server and it seemed like everyone else was getting help before we were. Not a big deal overall, but it did take away from the dining experience.

Wynter took amazing care of me! The lobster mobster chowder is delicious. The dungeness crab un-cake is excellent. Great food! Just go!

I just can’t get excited about Duke’s. We were there for a business lunch, and the service was above average, but that was the best part of the meal. First, let’s get this out of the way, the prices are exceedingly high for the small portions you receive. Frankly, their entrée meals should all be placed under their Tiny Bites section of the menu. The Oh my Cod Fish and Chips 1 pc for $36.5 is an embarrassing display of a lonely Gorton’s style battered fish filet, a cup of fries and some room temp Cole slaw. The atmosphere is charming and the service is friendly, but I need to stretch my lunch dollar further than this place will let me take it. Perhaps the mall rent has just gotten too high and they need to pass it down to the entre’ prices. Cannot recommend.

WOW!! Great place to eat! Pagie, our server was AWESOME!! We sat outside and coming from Iowa with 104⁰, this was perfect! If you are looking for a cheap meal, this is not the place but it was worth it.

What a great experience! I hosted my factory team (5 people) for dinner and I was so happy with total experience! First, the host out is a quiet corner area - almost a separate room where we could relax and enjoy the night. Food was 5 stars! We had stuffed halibut and mixed seafood grill. All at the table raved about the food. Cocktails I would rate 4 stars for flavor but less for ice! I specifically asked for my shaken cocktail to keep the little shards of ice in it. There were none in four drinks served. For service high compliments to Winter! She is a great brand ambassador for Dukes!! Thank you Dukes for a terrific evening!!

Clam Chowder is more like bacon and herb chowder. I sought out and came because of the award-winning chowder declaration. Texture is like sausage gravy. No balance, no chance for the clams to shine with that much bacon and parsley garnish. Lastly, way.... Over-priced for the value. No quality argument can be established Stuffed halibut. Where's the stuffing and where's the shrimp? I scraped the stuffing to the side and hunted for defined meat texture in the stuffing. It was just cheesy mush. Why would anyone over process wild-caught Mexican shrimp? It seems the theme is to buy expensive ingredients and overly process it like you're feeding supper at the nursing home. My expectations were steered to a total disappointment when I shared my experience with my wait person, Chris the bartender, and they were dismissive and felt the need to be defensive when I showed them the stuffing prior to even taking the first bite of food. Another staff member watched and stepped in and offered to remedy my concerns but the current waiter just spoiled things.

Meghan is the best thing about this place. Had some salmón that i loved, although I thought I wasn't a fan. Came back for Happy Hour at her suggestion. Really great place if you get the right person, ask for Meghan.

Always enjoy our lunch here. 10/13/25 Chris is a great waiter for the past 10 years. Always brings my hot water and lemon. We like the lounge area with the booths. Cloth napkins, quality food. Good music. Bathrooms are clean. They have outdoor seating for summer days. Lots of TV's with cc. Enjoy!

Great food and service, happy hour every day is nice, We often sit outside, though there's not much of a view. This time we had the wild salmon sandwich and cod fish & chips. Fish & chips are fresh, crispy and pretty large pieces. The salmon sandwich was perfect, sourdough bread slightly toasted and a chipotle sauce to give it a nice flavor. It's a bit pricy, but the food is excellent. Chowder and prawns are also a great choice.

Decided to try Dukes at their Southcenter Mall location on a hot summer afternoon. The mountain was greeting us from the parking lot of Southcenter Mall. The sourdough bread served was soft and served with butter. I'm not sure I came for this bread or food. Maybe both. Tried the Fish and Chips. Fresh and flaky fish with fries and slaw. Small portion but really good. Also ordered the crab cake burger which came with sweet potato fries. Huge portion! Service was great and we enjoyed dinner in a nice cozy corner.

Typically consistent and tasty fare. Duke's never goes wrong. I tried the basic burger with a gluten free bun and it was delicious.

I pleasantly surprised with Excellent food and service. Looking forward to my next visit.

This was our first time trying Dukes at Southcenter. We took my brother in law here. Let me just say, Dukes did NOT disappoint. The food was amazing as always, the service was spot on (didn't let drinks drop below half ) , and the vibe was awesome. I love the decor, fishing poles and very cozy feel. (The bathrooms were very clean). I love how the menu (especially the dessert menu, tells you in detail, where the products are from. Keep up the great work!!!! We will be back again!

Met up with a friend for happy hour. I used to live in the area and was craving good seafood and this place did not disappoint. I got the chowder and it was delicious. We split crab deviled eggs that were also very good and a Caesar with salmon on it. The waiter was very quick and prompt. They have a really nice patio that we sat outside on and the happy hour is very extensive! a nice thing about this location is since it is located in the mall parking is super easy to find.

Honestly, it's been awhile since I've last eaten here. I believe it was in 2018. I took my little brother, Jude here for dinner. It was his first time trying Duke's Seafood. I recall it was not a busy evening which was nice. First, we were served with complimentary bread. We both got the Fish and chips combo with the chowder. Always delicious and filling. This is my usual order which satisfies me. My blueberry lemonade was good. Our server was relatively ok. We both enjoyed our dinner overall. I need to pay a visit soon some time.

First time ever to this restaurant and it was good. We were a pretty large party, with no reservation, and the hostess and manager did an awesome job getting us a table with minimal wait time. Our server was pretty awesome and she provided a lot of good recommendations, especially where alcohol was concerned. We all got various dishes, but unfortunately, the clam chowder was a bit disappointing. The theme of the restaurant was, of course, sea food. There was a ukulele signed by Duke Kahanamoku and a row boat hanging upside down from the ceiling creating a very nice ambiance.

The quality of food does not reflect the price you pay. Dinner for 4 was over $200 and every person at the table had food left on their plate that they didn't care to eat. This was the biggest disappointment in choosing this place. The calamari was slimy and the breading slides right off. They use a very crunchy batter for their fish and chips that was not good. The worst was the tartar sauce. No one touched it because it was nasty. Save yourself some money and go to a better seafood restaurant for half the cost.

Like wow Stuffed halibut lobster Mac and cheese rockfish tacos unreal Yes expensive- very but huge portions sourdough bread great service good parking Utterly amazing

I really like this place! The food is good and it's a very chill atmosphere. I've tried several of their menu items and I have liked everything. The clam chowder is really good and I appreciate that they accommodate and wrap my burger in lettuce! Most importantly, I love that in summertime they allow dogs! The service is a bit slow, but nonetheless we enjoy going!

What a great restaurant my good friend suggested the place and it absolutely exceeded any of my expectations Great draft local beer trio clam chowder yes Trio, no one else has ever done that before Boom, boom shrimp, shrimp cocktail like no other and calamari that was out of this world And then the best seafood salad I've ever had in my life Monica was great. It was a great time had by all.

Stopped in for lunch and was surprised to see they had a wait. We opted to sit at the bar which was first come, first serve, and had plenty of open seats. The bartender was very friendly and took great care of us the entire time. Our soups arrived very quickly and were delicious. A bowl of complimentary sourdough bread also arrived that was hot and perfect to dip in the soup. The tacos were massive but I was starving and appreciated the portion size. Mixing and matching the tacos was a great way to try multiple types. They were both unique in their own way and I still can't decide which one I preferred. They were both a little more fishy than I expected, but I didn't mind. Overall, pretty good spot to get our seafood fix near Seattle without having to drive into the city.

Dukes!! Just starting with the name "Dukes" you wanna attend!! Even though this is in a mall (it is very nice mall ) in south center very classy restaurant solid seafood every time I go ,simple ,fast and great service you're in and out. They have a great selection of bourbons and a great bartender and staff ..Again located in the South center mall with many choices. But Seafood is sold! Recommendations to order the halibut with asparagus and potatoes five star dinner enjoy

Always love stopping into Duke's when I travel to the Seattle area. The Chowder is Legendary. The seafood is so fresh. The service is always great. The fisherman motif is a bit different at each location but no slacking on the decor. I had some really good African Amber and the Rockfish Tacos are Bomb!

Great seafood place in the South Center shopping area. Next to the Westin and near the Hyatt Regency, this is an alternative to the nearby food hall, and what an alternative it is. Apps at the bar during HH are $3 off, but they are top quality. Both the clams and the Crab Un Cake (the Un is a reference to the minimal bread filling) are fantastic. We also shared a Crab Un Cake sandwich that was a bit underwhelming (it sported bacon and cheese which was strange) but the accompanying sweet potato fries were delightful. Great bar area with small booths and bar chairs but also a large dining area.

Visiting the area and the hotel shuttle dropped us right in front of Duke's. So glad they did as we had a really nice lunch. The decor is fun with a huge canoe hanging from the ceiling and fishing poles, an open bar and other decor to look at. Friendly, quick service. After we were seated a bread basket arrived which was delicous. I had the Alaska Salmon Sliders. Not fishy tasting and just enough of a portion. My partner had Cesar Salad and soup. Everything was fresh tasting as homemade.

This location is at the Southcenter mall which has ample parking space. Nice interior and we were promptly seated since we had a reservation. We had the Dungeness Crab Dip for an appetizer and it was delicious. I enjoyed my Oh My Cod! Fish and Chips Combo which was 2 large pieces of lightly panko breaded Pacific cod served with fries, coleslaw and a cup of Clam Chowder. Next time we visit, we will have to try the Crab Cakes which a local friend highly recommends.

Stopped by Dukes last minute deal with friends for drinks. It's comfy and cozy inside. The employees were very accommodating. We started with 2 and ended up with 5. lol Moved to different tables twice to our growing party. They were very nice. The old fashions were strong and delicious. I ordered salmon salad and a cup of seafood stew take out too. The portion on that salad was very reasonable and salmon filet was good size. My friends ordered a salmon salad and un crab cakes all was delicious. Its convenient location at the mall and lots parking. We all enjoyed the comfy cozy vibe there

Duke becomes my brother and sister in law a go to when they visit WA. Starter calamari strips are always good. The sourdough bread basket always is good with soup or just another starter. My order was trio grilled, cannot remember the name. Seafood tasted fresh and everything cooked perfectly, not over cooked. I like the crab cake the most. The service was good.

We love Duke's. Faced with the reality that we may have had to visit Seattle without a stop at a Duke's location, we found this location which was tucked into a large mall. Despite being in a mall, this spot feels par with the other Duke's locations that we have visited. It's cozy and lovely inside. We sampled an assortment of chowders and carefully ranked our favorites. For the record, my ranking was: (1) Lobster Mobster Pernod Chowder (2) Clam Chowder (3) Ragin' Cajun Chicken Corn Chowder. We also shared the coconut prawn appetizer which was on point. I am convinced that there are no bad meals had at Duke's. I'm already looking forward to our next trip to Seattle, as it means another trip to Duke's is sure to happen.

Very nice experience! Excellent service was on hand for our first experience lunch. We had to try the famous Clam Chowder and was delicious but know it quite filling! The Dingy size for soup is plenty unless it's your entire meal, the sourdough rolls complimentary, is sooo Complimentary to the chowder! The Cod and chip's actually seasoned wedges was also fantastic. We also enjoyed the Manila clam appetizer, it was a huge portion but a little too garlicky for my preference. I can't wait to return, the menu is huge and it all looks scrumptious. This place reminds me of Legal Seafood in the East.

We had The Best server (Kayla), she recommended a wine (Cabernet) which was fantastic! The best fish tacos I have Ever had. My husband had clam chowder, he says it was excellent! He also had a stuffed halibut....Loved it! We're visiting Seattle from the Las Vegas area, definitely coming back to Dukes before we go back!

Pedro served us and was excellent. The service was polite and quick and cheerful. The food was outstanding. The chowder was the best I've ever had. The other dishes were fantastic. I would regularly if I lived in the area. Highly recommend

Rip off alert!! I just paid $52.00 for a single crab cake and a small bowl of clam chowder served in a sourdough bread bowl. GIVE ME A BREAK. Seafood- right near the ocean! Sourdough bread - made famous because it was cheap to make and served to construction workers...greedy man. Disgustingly greedy

Lovely staff, quick service, great for a family and friends lunch or dinner with an expansive menu. Come to Duke's if you appreciate a restaurant that still gives you bread when you are seated. Their menu, while pricey, has many menu options and if you join their rewards program, has lovely rewards too. Stop by Dukes for delicious seafood, a vast menu, and access to an amazing mall!

Came for my cousins baby shower and was seated in a private area in the back. Not quite enough space for 20 people, but the waitress did an amazing job working with us, getting our orders, and making sure everyone was taken care of. The food, however, was okay. For the price point, I expected it to be better. My sandwich was made well, but lacked flavor. I asked for mustard to add to it, but they only had the cheap yellow mustard, so didn't help much. My daughter got a $30+ fettuccine, and was not impressed. She said it also lacked flavor for such a basic dish. For the quality of food + price, I don't think it's worth it. Not a place I'd choose to eat at again.

Had dinner here with friends in May. Paige was our server. I had a small salad and the macadamia crusted halibut. The fish was really good. I'm not much of a rice person, but the rice was also really tasty. Also comes with asparagus. The small salad was ok. My friends said their food was ok. They both got fish and chips. Would come back here again.

Food was delicious! Loved the fish tacos...Fresh, tasty and well presented. I'd totally do 5 stars...and service was great...Calamari is great too..

It's been a while since I last been to Duke's that I had to come back. The service was great and Jennie my server was absolutely amazing. I mentioned that I have to be on a gluten-free diet and she was super thoughtful and got me gluten-free bread with my chowder. I got the maple bacon bites, North by Northwest Seafood Chowder, and the gf carrot cake. Everything was delicious and the carrot cake was amazing. Definitely will be coming back, there's not many places in Seattle that offer gluten free chowders.

The food was so so. Looked through the reviews and had a big hope I guess. We have ordered chowder, lobster, deviled eggs and etc. all were just average. Service was exceptional though. She kept coming and checking on us and asked he if we need anything. Ambiance was pretty nice too.

This place is fantastic. We had the clam chowder and cod fish and chips, absolutely amazing! The staff was also 5 star!

Had some family in town and they wanted to try some iconic Seattle type food so I brought them to Dukes. I haven't been here in almost ten years. I've always thought of Dukes as a super pricey Ivars and our lunch here confirms it. Good seafood, a bit overpriced. I went fancy with a crab cake sandwich and lobster chowder. Chowder was salty and the flavor while goodish overpowered the crab cake. The crab cake was not very crispy on the outside. My brother had the fish and chips with regular clam chowder. His was much better than mine and he enjoyed it. Just goes to show that if it ain't broke, don't fancify it with a bunch of lobster ;) Restaurant was clean, ambiance great for a lunch out with family. Service was great! All in all 3 and a half stars.

Absolutely positively 1000% recommend! No that's not a typo. I really did mean 1000%. Duke's Seafood is located on the southern end of the Westfield Southcenter mall, which in and of itself is a maze! If you have a hard time remembering where Duke's Seafood is, just think *south* of the *center* of the indoor mall lol. Anyways, I was craving some seafood during my trip to the Pacific Northwest, and Duke's Seafood was one of the very first places I actually bookmarked over the holiday break while researching restaurants to visit. It was within close proximity of my hotel, and they offered a wide variety of seafood dishes from salmon to halibut to even grass fed burgers! If what I had on this trip was indicative of how tasty the rest of their menu was, then I would recommend everything! Alas, I cannot eat the entire menu on a single trip, but I was able to try two dishes that sounded really good: - Savory Chipotle Wild Salmon Sandwich: Wild Alaska Salmon on rosemary bread with nitrite-free bacon, fresh avocado and tomato, chipotle aioli - BBQ Ribs & Seafood Mixed Grill: Half rack of Baby Back Pork Ribs with skewered and seared Alaska Weathervane Scallops and Wild Mexican Pacific Prawns, organic baby red potatoes and fresh seasonal vegetables However, there were soooooooooo many choices on the menu it legitimately took me 10 minutes to decide what I wanted! I was hoping one of the hostesses in front would offer some help, but considering the steady flow of customers coming in and going out the front door, I can't really fault them for that. One hostess was blonde, and the other was brunette. The blonde was out and about frequently, but the brunette stayed at the front desk for the most part. Both provided outstanding service to me, and I saw the brunette welcome each dining guest with a professional demeanor. She maintained this demeanor when I finally decided on my order. It also helped that her co-worker, whom I presume is a manager, was also there to help take my order. As an example, he said that the sandwich comes with fries, something that I didn't see on the menu. He asked if I wanted sweet potato fries or the wedge cut fries something something. I forgot what the something something was, but I know I didn't want the sweet potato fries, so I simply said "NOT the sweet potato fries." They got my drift lol. As another example, when the hostess asked how I wanted my seafood cooked, it took me by surprise. I've only been asked that question for steak and burgers, but never seafood. Then again, I don't eat seafood that much, but in any event, I said in the most dubious manner "Medium well??" The manager immediately knew I was doubtful about my choice, so he told me he'd recommend medium because the sandwich would still be cooking even after it is handed to the customer, so I went with medium. The hostess estimated a 15 minute wait. It was about 17 minutes before the blonde hostess noticed me sitting at one of seven comfy chairs by the front door. She asked if I was waiting for something or someone, and I explained to her the other hostess said 15 minutes 17 minutes ago. That other hostess overheard me and said she was packaging up my order. I had forgotten to ask about utensils, but they knew to put not one, but two packs in my takeout bag. The blonde hostess probably felt bad I waited longer than expected for my order that she offered me a cup of sparkling water with a lemon wedge inside. Now that's service! Though I did have to wait a couple more minutes after I was handed my order for her to bring me my drink on the house. Did I mention that the Westfield Southcenter was a maze? Did I also mention the parking lot was a maze too? Even though I knew the vicinity of where I parked, it took me a good 5 minutes to find my rental car! Luckily, the food didn't lose its taste as everything tasted superb! They even threw in cups of ketchup, BBQ sauce, tartar sauce, and butter. Butter?? Well they also included some bread, which came in handy because I didn't have breakfast planned for the next day. The sandwich was perfectly made and had the perfect amount of chipotle aioli! The fries were outstanding. The potatoes and zucchini were seasoned nicely and went well with the sauces. The scallops and prawns were great too! The only flaw was that the ribs weren't fall off the bone tender, but there's no way I can take off a star just for something that I'm sure most others wouldn't mind. I didn't get any of the hostess' names or the manager's name, but I felt they really went above and beyond to make me a satisfied customer. I was so satisfied that I had to tell my co-workers as well as everyone on Yelp about how outstanding everything was from the food to the service to even the nice interior decor! Yes it's pricey, so I don't recommend going so often. However, rest assured that if you want to celebrate a special occasion, Duke's Seafood will be there to help you celebrate it in the best way possible! :)

I tried the stuffed halibut and it was so delicious! Fish was very fresh and tasty at the same time. Next time I'm in town I will be back.

First time trying Duke's as I'm here on business! I got the maple bacon seafood bites , chefs special was 6 oz filet with roasted potato's and asparagus, a cup of the world famous clam chowder. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Perfect sized portions (with the exception of the clam chowder. $15 for the tiniest cup but the taste and richness in my opinion it was mostly worth it. Will come again next time I'm in town for business!

My favorite happy hour place! The salmon sandwich was delicious with sweet potato fries, so yummy. I needed a strong drink after a long day and wow, the 3 Johns Martini is where it's at. Staff is always so friendly.

Well thank you very much to my company for paying for this exquisite dining experience. I know my "frugal" Hubby would never agree to go to a pricey restaurant like this lol. Well, even my boss, co-workers and I took it easy on our menu orders, so maybe we're all a little frugal too. I did play it safe ordering Fish and Chips, and they were absolutely perfect. Not greasy in the least, and the fish itself was flakey and flavorful. I am not a tartar sauce girl, and it absolutely did not need to be dipped in anything. Everybody else loved their meals, and our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Sorry about the quality of the photos. My boss took all the pics with her camera phone, and had fun doing it, but they're a little grainy from her forwarding them to me. But what a wonderful lunch!

I have always been a fan of this restaurant chain since I moved here to Washington. My gut told me not to trust a mall version of the restaurant and that the restaurant will always be better and I should've listened. The food lacked flavor or was very salty. I ordered the Cioppino and hair was in my food (and before you go and say it was mine; I always put my hair up to avoid any staff thinking it was me) and the crab dip was very salty and the lobster roll lacked flavor. Overall, the service was okay. Our server was nice! I won't be returning and will stick to the establishment in Tacoma.

The food was great portions were a nice size. We chose seafood that night to keep dinner light and dikes hit the spot. The service was okay. Not terrible but could have been better. My clam chowder was a little cold for my liking. Drinks were fantastic!

I love Dukes both at south center and in Tacoma on Ruston way! My go to is always the macadamia crusted halibut, so good! Service is always great, Tacoma location is on the water with wonderful views and great ambiance, especially at night!

I felt like treating myself to something nice after seeing a movie. Service was good except for one person, I won't fault the restaurant. I got the appetizer special, "scallop sliders." Perfectly cooked and served on a crunchy toast with avocado and pico de gallo. Side of Asian slaw (odd mix, but it worked). For this one appetizer, I say hell yes!!

The waitress was very nice, but service was super slow took forever to get our meals. I don't know how this place is so highly rated for their chowder. Especially the clam chowder it was awful. It was like puréed potatoes and clams in a bowl. The fish and chips were not good. I was expecting a beer batter fish, but it was pretty much in cornmeal and french fries were not great and it was served with 2 tablespoons of coleslaw, which was not good. The best thing about it was the bread. The wine was not good either for $18 a glass. I can't believe people like this place so you don't know what good seafood is until you've had the best. It was not busy either the restaurant was not busy so I don't understand why it was so slow.

Everything we ordered was great, and our server was very kind. I think this location honestly needs a renovation though - we were sat in the front room and it was quiet and a little awkward.

The food is great! Sure it's pricey but splurging at a quality restaurant once in a while is good for the soul. The main dishes are seafood but the non-seafood items are great too. Also great service, the servers here are friendly and attentive. It's a popular area for shopping and dining so parking can be a challenge
