Duke's Waikiki

Had one of our favorite meals of our trip here! I had the vegan wild mushroom & spinach ravioli and my fiancé had the teriyaki sirloin. Beyond delicious for both dishes, mine was flavorful with the macadamia nut pesto and my fiancé said his steak was one of the best he’s ever had. We were seated immediately despite the busy Sunday dinner rush, and our server was super kind and quick to bring us our drinks & check in on us multiple times. Our server was also very knowledgeable on vegan food and recommended a couple places for me to try, and even knew to let me know while the desert they had was technically vegan, but it did contain honey. He talked to us about life on O’ahu and Kauai and was such an amazing server and truly made our last night such a treat. Highly recommend trying this place

Pulled Pork Nachos, Coconut Shrimp, Fish Tacos, Mai Tai, Blended POG with vodka, and Coconut Mojito were yummy! We sat at the table area close the flower stand and it was pretty hot, would be nice if they added fans to the area to circulate the air. Cyerrah K was our server, she was very nice and attentive.

Amazing service upon arrival+throughout dinner, incredible staff, perfect views+ambience+location, genuinely good tasting food!!! 10/10 all around The live music was beautiful. We ordered Duke's Nachos, a couple of burgers, fish tacos, the Tropical Smoothie, and the Hula Pie, and all were a hit with our party of 5. ***Special shout out to our server Kamalei*** She was lovely and extremely attentive/accomodating for our first visit. MAHALO ❤️

Nicest place. On the beach. Great lights and live music. Took 20 minutes to the waiter to reach me for order but other then that was very nice and welcoming. I had the “prime rib staek” which was definitely corn fed and tasted like cheapest steak I have ever eaten. Look at the color in the picture it was curiously red🤨 French fries was cool but not really throughly made. Mashed potatoes was perfect and freshly made.

If you're looking for a quiet place, then this is not it. It's definitely has a sports bar vibe. I loved it! I also met a wonderful group of Aussies going on a cruise. I had the fish tacos which were delicious. The Duke Mai Tai was great too!

Come to Duke's for breakfast because it next to the beach and walking distance from my hotel but I didn't expect to be a buffet style. Food was just ok, I'm not crazy about everything except scramble eggs that freshly made, and I have to order through my server. When we got to our table, the table was dirty and my husband has to clean it himself (he should get a discount for helping the restaurant cleaning, lol.) View is good but lots of bushes blocking the view even we got a table on the deck. Maybe if I eat here in different time the food will be better.

Duke's Waikiki, located on the first floor of the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort, is hands-down the go-to breakfast spot in Waikiki, and it's no wonder it's always topping Yelp and Google Maps rankings. For just $30, their breakfast buffet is a steal, packed with everything from hot foods, fresh fruits to pastries, plus coffee and tea. You can even get a custom omelette made to order. The real kicker? You're dining with a jaw-dropping ocean view of Waikiki Beach that makes every bite feel like a vacation. The service here is fantastic--our server Charlie was super friendly and on top of everything, making the meal even more enjoyable. I was obsessed with the fresh Hawaiian papaya (way cheaper than in LA!) and the Portuguese sausage, which was savory perfection. They even have chilled plates for the fruit and salad bar to keep things fresh. If you're in Waikiki, Duke's is a must for a delicious breakfast with a side of beach vibes. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love dining at every Duke's location! Each visit feels like a delightful journey through history, especially when I think about Duke (Waterman) Kahanamoku, who is one of my true heroes. The photos on the walls really capture his spirit and legacy, and they never fail to inspire me. As for the food, I can’t get enough of the Coconut Shrimp—it's got that perfect crispy exterior and tender, juicy inside that I crave. And I have to mention the Hula Pie, too; it’s a deliciously decadent dessert that’s simply out of this world!

Service was the highlight of this restaurant for me! Our server was amazing checking on us and going above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience. Just a heads up if you make a dinner reservation then your menu will be different eat from the walk up menu (aka nicer). I booked our reversion 30 days in advance, and recommend doing the same this place books up fast. The food was good, I loved having an all you can eat on the salad bar to my main course item getting a wedge salad, pastor salad, macaroni salad, and pickled vegetables for $11 more. I think that is a great deal! The food was good, the highlight for my husband being the poke tacos and for me being the breaded fish! Burger was average per the husband. The drinks were the weakest part of the experience, they tasted very watered down and didn't have the most flavor or alcohol.

Finally...a seat at the bar! This place is usually packed but there was room to sit on a Sunday night. No food for us this visit, just a refreshing adult pog slushy , a hi ball, a couple of beers and friendly conversation with the bartenders. Loud and lively. You can walk right thru to the bar area without a reservation and hopefully find an open spot. The bar area serves food from a limited menu. Pupus etc.

Amazing service upon arrival+throughout dinner, incredible staff, perfect views+ambience+location, genuinely good tasting food!!! 10/10 all around The live music was beautiful. We ordered Duke's Nachos, a couple of burgers, fish tacos, the Tropical Smoothie, and the Hula Pie, and all were a hit with our party of 5. We are excited to return again soon! ***Special shout out to our server Kamalei*** She was lovely and extremely attentive/accomodating for our first visit. MAHALO

Came here for my birthday breakfast and Duke's did not disappoint! The buffet was loaded with all the classics -- fresh fruit, crispy potatoes, French toast, eggs, sausage, and more. Basically everything you need to fuel up for a day in Waikīkī (or to immediately crash into a food coma... which almost happened after round two of French toast). But the real MVP? Our server Jules. Absolute legend. Friendly, attentive, and on top of everything -- he made us feel like VIPs the whole time. Honestly, Jules deserves a raise, a promotion, or maybe even his own statue out front. The atmosphere is exactly what you want: breezy, beachy, and full of that aloha vibe. Bonus points for the mimosas, which made me forget it was barely 10 AM. If you're looking for a place to celebrate something special -- or just want an excuse to eat like it's your birthday even when it's not -- Duke's breakfast buffet is the move.

Can't beat the ambiance! Really cool tiki vibe, beach front, and live music! Also open til late, which is super perfect! Service is great and everyone was super nice! The food was pretty average. The nachos were pretty loaded with toppings but was nothing special and kind of just alright. It lacked flavor. The arugula and beet salad was pretty good and I enjoyed it, I just with it had more beets rather than being a big bed of just arugula. Honestly, if I were in Waikiki, I'd try a different spot but it was still solid!

If you're looking for the quintessential Waikiki dining experience, Duke's Waikiki is hard to beat. Nestled right on the beach with postcard-perfect views of Diamond Head and the Pacific, this restaurant blends Hawaiian hospitality, great food, and a lively atmosphere. Ambiance & Setting Duke's is as much about the vibe as it is about the menu. The open-air design lets in the ocean breeze, and the location couldn't be better--you're literally steps from the sand. Live Hawaiian music often plays in the background, adding to the relaxed, island feel. It's a place where you can come straight from the beach in flip-flops or dress up a little for a sunset dinner. Food & Drinks The menu offers a balance of fresh island flavors and American favorites. Highlights include: * Hula Pie - The legendary dessert here. Enormous, indulgent, and worth every bite. * Fresh Fish - Perfectly prepared with island-inspired sauces and sides. * Breakfast Buffet - Generous, with tropical fruit, local specialties, and made-to-order options. * Cocktails - Refreshing and tropical; the Mai Tais and Lava Flows are favorites. Service Friendly, warm, and efficient even when the restaurant is buzzing. The staff embodies the "Aloha spirit," making visitors feel at home while keeping the energy lively. Here are some tips: * Reservations are highly recommended, especially for dinner at sunset. * Beachfront tables are the most coveted, so plan ahead if you want the best view. * Don't leave without trying the Hula Pie--share it if you must, but it's big enough to be a meal in itself! Overall Duke's Waikiki is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience. Whether you're there for brunch, a casual lunch, or a romantic dinner with the waves as your soundtrack, it captures the heart of Waikiki perfectly. A must-visit for locals and travelers alike.

If you do nothing else, go for the dessert, the amazing views and the awesome customer service!!! I love that they have self-seating at the round tables in front of the bar. Excellent view and no waiting if a table is open!!! The hula pie is a 100 out of 10! The view is 100 out of 10! Go see for yourself!!!

There was a little wait but it was expected. We sat at the bar and the bartender was overly attentive, cheery, and kind. Made sure we had everything and were comfortable while waiting. We even met some really kind people while there. We were seated and our server was sky. He was great! The food was delicious as usual and then he brought us an ice cream chocolate drizzle cake for our anniversary! I really recommend this place. If you are vacationing in Waikiki or the surrounding area, go here. You will not be disappointed! I will definitely be back!

We eat here every time we visit Waikiki. Great location, right off the beach. Based on all our visits, the best time to come would be at breakfast or dinner. They have a breakfast buffet with omelettes, pancakes, fried rice, cereal, and more - a decent variety. Lunch doesn't have much variety and service is usually slow. Dinner has more menu options. Hula pie is always a must!

The food was okay, nothing too crazy, we've had better food elsewhere. This place is more for views and vibes. The drinks were pretty strong though. When we went up to the host she seemed like she didn't want to be there. She told us it was self seating so we were a bit confused but she left elsewhere before we could ask her a question. We walked upstairs and were confused so we walked back and asked if we could sit by the beach and she walked us to a table with menus. Maybe a bad day for her but service matters to us. Our server was the sweetest though, she was very attentive and nice. Ambiance was nice since you're by the beach. Other than that, we would prefer to eat elsewhere.

Good options to pick from the buffet! And appetizers were really good. Ambiance definitely 10/10. I mean the ocean views ... stunning

Came on a Tuesday for their lunch buffet. It's located in the Outrigger Waikīkī Beach Resort. We did make reservations. It was pretty busy. Has a spectacular oceanfront view. Service- Above and Beyond! I mentioned that I had an adverse effect with black pepper. Next thing you know, a staff member by the name of Jeff came out to address this challenging allergy. He brought out a big binder that listed every ingredient in each of the buffet dishes. He made a list of ones I could have. I have been to many restaurants in my life, BUT this was the very FIRST time that I have experienced this much care given to a customer. I'm so grateful for Jeff's help. Food- -Poke bar- it was great variety with salmon, tuna and tofu. There were different toppings like avocado, furikake, ogo, etc. -Soup of the day- cream of mushroom: very smooth and full of flavor. - Korean short ribs: it was the best and my favorite - full salad bar - purple yam with a sweet coconut sauce- also another favorite of mines Return Factor- yes for the oceanfront view and for $33/ person for a buffet on Waikiki it's a good price.

Make a reservation days in advance for your own sake! Waiting for a table is not fun. Service is always great and friendly, they always have a good amount of staff (and a ton of tables). Food is really solid overall. Apps: hummus is a must have, so good with the bread it comes with. I don't even think I like hummus, but this one's amazing. Salad bar is also nice, but I don't eat salad so I just ate the bread! Main: prime rib is delicious. Get it while it lasts! (Although I've never had an issue with them running out). I had it medium rare and it came pretty rare, which for me is great, but might be something to consider if you prefer more cooked. The seasoning is to die for and the meat itself is really solid quality! Drinks: had slush margaritas, very solid, nothing crazy but not bad at all. I remember the on the rocks being tart so I went with slush and was not disappointed! Highly recommend for a night out in the city. Not for everyone with the fairly loud atmosphere (and pretty high prices) but I'm sure it will continue to be a must have for my family for visits to come!

I think we come here because that's where ppl say you're supposed to go. It was packed both times. I actually would not have come twice (the food wasn't bad) but they stay open late with the condensed bar menu. First time was the first night I was in Honolulu. I came based upon my airport shuttle driver's recommendation. I couldn't decide between two dishes so I let the waiter pick for me. He picked the ribs which came with salad and a side of way-too-mashed mashed potatoes; almost puréed. I also ordered a mai tai because I was in Honolulu bih. And you can't go to Hawaii without drinking mai tai; it was strong but tasted ok. I wanted to order their famous ice cream dessert, but it was too damn big and I was traveling solo. So I was like no fat bih (talking to myself) you won't order that on this vacation. Surprisingly, a couple I shared a short conversation with that sat next to me offered me some of theirs, but I may be a lil fat bih, but I ain't a dirty one. I ain't sharing no germs and plus the thought of that with strangers was weird but I appreciated the offer nonetheless. The second time I came, it was really late and I ordered the nachos. The waitress was awesome. I told her that the pictures on yelp did not look that cheesy. She said girl I got you! Baby those nachos did not disappoint so I didn't disappoint when I tipped her! Would I go back? Maybe the ribs were not bad but they weren't that great either. And honestly, I really wouldn't have ordered ribs in Honolulu but I overhead the table next to me say they were good. That's why it was one of the dishes that I had the waiter choose from. His service was attentive as well, so no complaints on service. The food is OK. The wait time could be crazy.

It's all about the history of this place/ atmosphere.... All the original photographs... Food is okay.... Salad bar is yummy...... we were a party of 10 so not so easy to take care of... The waiter did a great job though .... Parking in the structure across the street..... You can have your ticket validated....

Biggest tip: put your name down first, ask questions later. This place is packed all the time. Even if you're not sure you're going to sit down and eat here. Just put your name down and figure it out later. Came on a Monday night during off season around 6:45 pm and we waited 30 min to get seated for a table of 6 and thankfully our server took our orders right away (since we already knew what we wanted) and food came out relatively fast! Food itself was decent, wasn't a-mazing but wasn't that bad either. Prime rib was slightly too salty on the crust but the flavor itself was superb if avoiding the crust. Mashed potatoes also slightly too salty, could use less salt and it'd be perfect. The macadamia dish though was probably a highlight, would recommend people to get that. And you definitely need to get the hula pie which is what they're known for! Ambiance? It's ocean front with a view. What more can you ask for!

I love Duke's - long wait but well worth it! Love the food and nice staff plays good music. Highly recommend!

A friend recommended this spot that's right on the Waikiki Beach. Named after Duke, the Hawaiian Olympic surfer. A live band played awesome reggae music. The Coconut Mojito was amazing! My wife loved the Lychee-hoo Martini. The Dukes Cheeseburger was typical, but my daughter loved the Fried Chicken off the kids menu. We sat outside on the lanai patio. Depending on the day, there is limited shade. The only negative were most of the tables were dirty and wobbly. If they fix that, I would definitely come back.

Upon arrival tired and jet lagged.. we checked into the room and went down for a drink, I can definitely say it was one of the best Mai Tais in the area. I compared after having a few from other places. We order 2 burgers and a pulled pork sandwich that came standard with fries. Burgers are cooked medium, I made the mistake not asking for medium well instead. The burger was raw. Not my preference. Pulled pork was good but nothing special... Overall just really pricey for what we got. Our check came out to about $120. Second try in the week, we got the chicken nachos and chicken tacos. Same experience, nothing extraordinary and a little sloppy in the presentation. Service was fine, staff were kind.. and we didn't wait too long for food .

I'm a frequent flyer at Duke's, we come every year for either brunch or for dinner and just recently, I happened to be in Hawaii last week and my husband and I went for the lunch brunch. The service was mediocre. But as far as the aesthetics, I have to say, I mean, Dukes is a very nice place, it's very iconic, but they have to maintain the people that come in and out of that place. Especially when it comes to people pouring in off the street in nothing but a bathing suit. I would think there is some kind of dress code. However, with that being said the food was good, it generally is. But if you're looking for either dinner or a late lunch, I recommend reservation. You cannot get into the establishment.Basically, without a reservation and the reservations have to be made months in advance.

This place is so beautiful and big! The place was busy, so I'm happy that I made a reservation for lunch. The staff is friendly and accommodated our requests and even offered to take photos of us. The food is so delicious and so arr tge drinks. Highly recommend!

Awesome place to have a beer and fish tacos.. Service is incredibly nice will definitely be back when I come back to Hawaii...

Restaurant food was honestly super disappointing. The ribs were hard (it was overcooked) and the rice and mac salad were bland. The chicken was the only good thing about the meal. The smoothie was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. Tasted like a normal smoothie. The service was okay, our first waiter was great, but our second one (after the first one ended his shift) barely paid any attention to us. Gave us our food and occasionally giving us water (about twice the whole meal). The live music was nice but too loud, at certain points I wasn't able to hear my friends while we were conversing. Honestly the other restaurants nearby had live music as well so this shouldn't be a big point. They had two options, more formal and more casual dining. I joined the casual dining and it took 40mins to get seated. There were 12 groups on the wait list. This was about 9pm on Sunday.

My husband, family, and I came here on our first afternoon in Waikiki, and it was the perfect place to kick off our Hawaii trip! The weather was gorgeous, and we were able to sit outside on the patio. Even though it was busy, it felt relaxed with the ocean view, tiki torches, and live music in the background. It had such a fun, island vibe, and it felt very movie-like. Our server was great, and he was warm and welcoming, not just to the restaurant but to Hawaii in general. He was super attentive, friendly, and gave us great food recommendations. The food menu is not the largest I've seen, but they do have many different types of options, at least, and they also have a large drink menu. For dinner, I ordered the Cajun fish tacos ($27), and they were fantastic! They were spicy, saucy, and flavorful, and the fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. I also got a mango slushie ($10), which had the perfect consistency and tropical flavor, which was exactly what you'd want on a Hawaiian vacation! My husband got the Waikiki hot wings ($19), which he liked, too. Everyone in our group was happy with their food, and we left full and smiling. If you're looking for a great meal in Waikiki with an ocean view and good vibes, I definitely recommend this spot! We ended our dinner with the Hula Pie ($15), which was big enough to share and delicious!

The location is perfect because it's right on the beach. The service was great even though it was super packed after 9pm. We ordered from the bar menu. The burger and fries were just your typical restaurant food. It was pretty good if you are hungry and all other restaurants are close on the strip. The restaurant is huge but it may be hard to get a seat most of the time.

Still a great beach bar. Servers are courteous and quick. I enjoyed the coconut shrimp. This visit, I thought my mai tai was excellent.

Look for hidden menu. They don't push it on you because the prices are more reasonable.

I mean Dukes is iconic. We've been coming here for years. My Godfather was a Waikiki Beachboy, so we could surf all day, then roll in for a great time that night. It's never been about the food, but it's the ambiance that draws people. (Don't get me wrong, the food's not bad!) They also have great live music and dancing every Sunday. It's a must visit when you're in the Islands.

Can't beat breakfast and the beautiful views from Duke's Waikiki. We went with the breakfast buffet. The price was right and the patio seating right by the railing was even better. Tasty food and good service. My only knock would be to have the buser take the used plates a little faster. I had to sit with the old plates for a bit and it made for cramped conditions with a small circular table for two.

We spent more time here on our trip than I'd care to admit! It's such a fun place to come to eat and have drinks, or sit at the bar. Awesome view of Waikiki beach! We came here during beach days for a drink while we needed a sun break! Will definitely be back!

Drinks and food were lovely, life music was playing for part of the night. Expensive but it's all about the experience, and dukes never fails! Service was fantastic.

Gosh Duke's has been here for such a long time. Both tourists and locals enjoy good food and drinks on the Waikiki beach front. They validate for parking in the waikiki parking garage next to Ross and 1 other lot, best to call up and confirm. Met my out of town girlfriend for drinks. The front check in desk you can make dinner reservations its usually 20-30 min wait everytime I've come. The other option is to go to the bar and patio area and be on the lookout for an open table. Lively atmosphere and cool vibe plenty of servers to assist you. Be prepared its going to always be pretty busy not the quite romantic type of vibe but great for people watching.

Well, all you can say is you have to go to Duke's service is always a plus they got a great menu. All the food that we order is always amazing. The dessert is so good love the chicken the fish so good the drinks amazing Long Island iced teas and my ties, lovely music and bar scene that you have to hang out and have some drinks and appetizers before your dinner, great view of the ocean doesn't get any better than this.

Came back after 11 years... decided to come for an anniversary celebration and a retirement celebration. I don't really remember Dukes a long time ago, but it's huge. They seated us outside near the pool. We ordered panko crusted calamari and crab wontons. Both were pretty good. For entrees I ordered the Furikake Ahi Steak. It came with 3 medium sliced pieces, probably 4-5 ounces of ahi tuna seared in furikake. The chili oil on the ahi tuna made it spicy, a very good kick. The tuna was seared perfectly. It was a good dish! Since we were celebrating something, our amazing server comped a hula pie. It was delicious too. A must come if you're in Waikiki. Mai tais were strong. One will get ya.

Duke's location is amazing! The beach view is absolutely beautiful. This restaurant is extremely busy. Therefore, make reservations or you may not get seated. Our waitress greeted us immediately and was very kind and helpful. We ordered the coconut and ginger braised seafood dish along with the filet mignon. My seafood was delicious and the steak was good, but it was brought out medium rare instead of medium well. They tried to correct it, but to no avail. The waitress and manager were very apologetic and took care of the situation immediately. I love that this restaurant is committed to customer satisfaction.

Yes, I was a tourist. No, I do not care that this is where every other tourist goes because there's a difference between something basic and ICONIC, okay I really only came here for the vibes & because I wanted to hear some music on a Sunday. But as a woman sitting by herself at the bar, A LOT could've gone wrong, (I know my fellow women feel me on this) but surprisingly a lot went RIGHT and I honestly had the best time with a whole bunch of strangers. SHOUTOUT TO THE BAR STAFF, especially Gabriel aka "Gabe" aka "G$" aka "Gorgeous Gabe" (yes, I'm quoting directly from the names he said he goes by) who, no pun intended, has the gift of GAB-- see what I did there?-- and made staying for a 2nd and 3rd drink too easy. And this is why personality hires MATTER 10/10 recommend going by yourself like I did because you will inevitably not even feel like you're alone

Despite being a popular tourist restaurant in the heart of Waikiki, the service here was incredible. Our waitress and water boy were so attentive and efficient. The coconut shrimp was unbelievably crispy and I wish there was more!!! Ribs were tasty but could've been more tender. The rice with the fish was surprisingly very flavorful and seasoned!

Absolutely gorgeous bar, bartenders were friendly with great service! Even gave a free hulipie for our birthday. Great authentic Hawaiian drinks

What are you over the ocean and awesome seafood omelette. Came back the next day had the best avocado toast I've ever had and focaccia bread with a vinaigrette underneath the avocado in the eggs as well as small tomatoes, incredible. The service is unbelievable, but look at the place is so cool and you just can't get a better view of Diamondhead in the ocean for breakfast The buffet is downstairs, but in my opinion, the better deals upstairs à la carte

We got calamari with guava sauce, the macadamia crusted fish, Huli Huli chicken, mango pork ribs, and fish and chips. The food was good. Duke's was right next to the beach so got to go to the beach beforehand. We also liked the live band that played while we were eating. We didn't know about the Prime Rib Buffet Thursdays, but if we did, we might have considered going that day since we ordered what it was offering for that day, particularly the macadamia crusted fish, Huli Huli chicken, and prime rib, among other things. It was busy and lot of ppl but our wait for a table wasn't long and food was served promptly. We finished everything too so just the right amount of food.

Went to Duke's with my wife during our vacation in Hawaii last week, we had dinner on Friday night here! The atmosphere is amazing with looking out at the ocean, the service was great! s/o to Mario who was our server and made us feel at home! Food is on point, big portions and flavorful!

I figured a tourist hotspot like this would be subpar and they proved me right... we loved the hummus, but there was nothing notable beyond that. The burger and coconut shrimp were incredibly average. We walked in and sat on the bottom floor to watch the sunset, but it was covered by the wall/trees/decor and even when we walked out of the back entrance to the beach, it was covered by buildings. The cons of metropolitan areas. Our server was nice, but I had to look around for him often when I was trying to order our meals. I also had asked for some boxes and the check and he gave me the boxes right away, but I'm not quite sure he heard me regarding the check because I had to wait a while and when he came back around to check on all his tables, I repeated myself and it was obvious he either didn't hear me or had forgotten altogether. Overall, I would skip eating here and grab some takeout elsewhere and sit on the beach to watch the sunrise.

Come to Duke's for breakfast because it next to the beach and walking distance from my hotel but I didn't expect to be a buffet style. Food was just ok, I'm not crazy about everything except scramble eggs that freshly made, and I have to order through my server. When we got to our table, the table was dirty and my husband has to clean it himself (he should get a discount for helping the restaurant cleaning, lol.) View is good but lots of bushes blocking the view even we got a table on the deck. Maybe if I eat here in different time the food will be better.

Hands down the best! Their Coconut & Ginger Braised Seafood bowl is to die for. I dream about it sometimes. I have to get it every time I come. I have had it at multiple locations and it never disappoints! I had it again tonight and - delicious! Always love sitting at the bar here... the best service!

Duke's was amazing. You get good food and an outstanding view right on the beach. It's right in the middle of everything. You can order off the menu or go for the buffet. We missed the breakfast buffet but we caught the lunch buffet. It doesn't have a large selection, but the items offered on the buffet were good. The lunch buffet had a traditional salad bar, classic chilled salads, made to order poke station, and island favorite hot dishes. The service was good and restrooms were clean. The Duke's Hazy IPA was a good selection. We will stop by when we visit again.

Sunday vibes at Duke's are always a win. We started with the poke tacos and calamari with guava cocktail sauce, both were delicious and perfect to share. Drinks were on point too, but what really made the night was the energy with great music and even better service. Special shoutout to Nona, our waitress. She was fun, super helpful, and genuinely took the time to get to know us. She made sure our anniversary dinner felt special from start to finish. Already looking forward to coming back.

Updated review. We came and dined at the barefoot bar and our experience was awesome. Great views and excellent food this time. My last review had a review of their pork belly that wasn't favorable. It must've struck a chord because it's not even on the menu any longer. Tonight, we had fish and chips. The fish portion was large and extremely tasty. The tartar sauce was on point and the double fried fries were excellent. The service was fantastic and we left full and happy.

Came here to grab some drinks and listen to Hawaiian music. Asked the bartender if they have any happy hour specials. He replied, "'The music is free and so is the sunset". That's a great response. We were able to snag a table upstairs in the bar area, listen to good music, watch someone dance hula, and people watch. Lots of people seemed happy - not sure if it was the cocktails, being in Hawai'i or the music. Whatever it was, it's always nice to see smiles.

We came here 2 times. Once for a pre dinner drinks and once for the buffet. I got the blond beer and the mai tai. They were both refreshing. We got nachos to share and the portion size was good. There was lots of left over even after 3 ppl shared it. The best thing was that the servers were able to keep track and split the checks despite a large group. Now the brunch is what took it over the top. It's a full buffet for $29! I can guarantee that you won't find anything more economical and plentiful in waikiki! The will make you an omelette but if that's not your thing they have cereals, breads, fresh fruit, yogurt, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage. With so many options you will definitely find something you will like. The service was nice and pretty fast both times as well. I also like the matching hawaiin outfits the servers wear.
