"A year ago, the King County health department shut down Duke’s Chowder House on Alki — part of a seafood chain with seven locations in the Puget Sound area — amid alleged violations of pandemic-related safety measures (which Duke’s management denied). About a year later, the company behind the Duke’s franchise, Elwood Investments, received $10 million in federal aid from the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF), the maximum amount possible." - Gabe Guarente

"A week after being shut down due to a COVID-19 outbreak, one West Seattle seafood spot is reopening again. Last Wednesday, Public Health Seattle - King County announced it had temporarily shut down Duke’s Chowder House on Alki Beach after discovering that multiple employees at the location tested positive for COVID-19. The department also found the restaurant had been in non-compliance with Washington’s “Safe Start” requirements for restaurants, specifically when it came to layout to help promote social distancing. But the health department has since signed off on the reopening, with a plan that “addresses employee health screening, physical distancing for employees, and compliance with 50% seating capacity.” The employees who tested positive are still in quarantine." - Gabe Guarente

We were pleasantly surprised by the absolutely delicious food here. Salmon bites-moist and flavorful with or without the sauces. Fish Tacos- tender, full of flavor, better than any I've ever tasted. Fish and chips-above all others, thin tasty breading and moist cod. And now we're ordering dessert! Friendly helpful staff and a great cozy atmosphere! We'll be back.

Cute cozy spot. Me and my friend both got chowder in the sourdough bread bowls (lobster for me and clam for her). Easily was the tastiest bread bowl I’ve ever had. We also got the clams as an appetizer which were surprisingly tasty. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Give them a visit

The restaurant experience was fantastic! We savored the delightful Coco Loco shrimp, and fish and Chips—both were absolutely superb. The ambiance, coupled with the scenic view of Alki Beach, truly enhanced the dining pleasure.

We sat outside on the balcony at 6pm, which was fine if a little warm, but a nice cool ocean breeze arrived shortly to cool us down. Our server, Luis, was fantastic, passionate and knowledgeable. The food was all unique and very flavorful, including the Pier Pie dessert. My wife said the chowder was among the best she's ever had. Definitely will visit here more often.

On Mother’s Day we stopped by for lunch. We are a family of four. They sat us outside and then we felt forgotten. I asked one random waiter for bread because we were pretty hungry and he forgot about us yet again. Our waitress was really nice but it felt like she was being overworked. The food was very pricey for the amount they give you. The calamari was about $20, we all shared it and my husband was able to eat 1 small strip of calamari, 2 for me and maybe 3 for each of my two children. My husband ordered a “large” bowl of seafood chowder for $23 when it arrived we thought it was a small bowl given to him by mistake, but nope it was their large. It also came with no bread or crackers. Most of their main entrees were $30-45 dollar range. We don’t feel that it’s worth the high cost. It felt like the restaurant was being stingy. We are frequent visitors of Alki, we gave Dukes a try and unfortunately we won’t be back.

Oh, how I wish I could recall our waiter's name! Tall, young, handsome black guy with single twist. Very mannerable and attentive. At one point, I felt like he was the only one working the floor, and he did it with grace. The view was lovely as we had window seats. I went because it was said you haven't had clam chowder till you had Duke's. They were not wrong. The crab eggs left a bit to be desired. The rest of the food was good.

We had a blast here! The food was great, and even better, the service was lovely, including the manager on duty that night, Trey. He made sure my husband and I had a magical night watching the sunset and enjoying cocktails, crabcakes and more.
