Duke's Huntington Beach - Seafood restaurant in Huntington Beach - 317 Pacific Coast Hwy, USA

Fantastic location. Yummy food. Fish tacos just so-so. Mac-n-Cheese is excellent. Expensive drinks. Clean bathrooms. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. Valet parking is very reasonable considering the other parking structures downtown. View is one of the best in Huntington Beach.

Nice place to visit if you're traveling through Huntington Beach. The lunch hours and crowd is more fun and scenic with the surf and volleyball near by. It's a good restaurant, but it is very expensive. If you order the calamari, it is not a shareable amount, and does not come with lemon. The main dishes are worth the price. Duke's Blone Ale is great, and so are the Mai Tai's. Again, go for lunch and tacos, you'll have a better Duke's experience than an evening dinner.

My wife and I had an outstanding dinner at Duke’s last night! Exceeded our expectations in every way. First of all, the service, from our server, Michael, was one of the best experiences ever. He really delivered unbeatable service. He had great knowledge of the menu, was extremely personable, guided us through all the options, was VERY flexible with any modifications we requested, and did it all with a smile. I mean, I felt the service was genuinely warm and welcoming. It’s not that often that a restaurant’s service is MEMORABLY good, but it sure was here. Then there’s the food. WOW. Honestly, I was a little worried that because of its location, it would be a tourist trap with mediocre food and just one of the places with a great view and not much more. Nothing could be further from the truth. We were were on a Thursday night (and by the way, returning tomorrow night BECAUSE it was such a great experience) and they had some awesome surf and turf options, and we opted for New York Steak and Lobster Tail. But we substituted the scallion fried rice for the side dish. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium well, as we’d requested, was absolutely delicious, and the lobster tail was also excellent. Sometimes you get a skimpy little tail that isn’t even that tasty. Nope again, this was a good sized lobster tail, with succulent meat and the standard drawn butter. Another hit. Then there’s the scallion fried rice - wow, I wasn’t expecting it to be THAT good, but it really was. Absolutely delicious. Oh, and we started with a shrimp cocktail appetizer, and not only were the shrimp a good size and very flavorful, but the slaw served aside the shrimp just blew me away, I LOVED it! And Michael noticed and brought us some additional slaw with the entrees. AND they recognized our special wedding anniversary with the signature awesome Hula Pie (which is not to be missed and must be shared). Ambiance was great, of course, excellent view of the ocean and pier. Hawaiian theme really shone through without being over the top. But as good as the food, service, and ambiance were, there were several additional details that I took notice of, which really pleased us. They didn’t charge us a split plate fee. They substituted the scallion fried rice (I know I mentioned that) for the regular side dish, but let’s start with the fact that the entrees actually came WITH a side dish in the first place. You know how many restaurants - even fancy high-end steakhouses - don’t include a side dish with your $80 steak (which obviously really irks me)? A lot. Not Duke’s, though. Also, every staff member I encountered whenever I left or returned to my table greeted me with a smile, and they thanked us on our way out. We left feeling very satisfied and very pleased, on a day where a lot of things went wrong for us prior to arrival at Duke’s, and Duke’s turned it all around with an amazing dining experience we’ll never forget.

Very tasty lunch. I had the ceviche, my sis Mahi Mahi tacos. Taco was cold, but the server quickly corrected the issue.

I would have given 5 stars but I was expecting a Mac salad truly authentic to island style Mac salad and what I got was literally store bought/out of the bucket tasting and looking deli Mac salad. If I brought you all my island Mac salad recipe I can almost guarantee you it would blow yours away and is authentic to the island style salad, and fits the Duke's theme 🌺 Overall though, our server's were awesome and all the other food was so good. Please take the Mac salad off the menu. It is so subpar to everything else on the menu and just doesn't fit in. Mahalo to all for making my husband's birthday a great and memorable one!

Lunch here was delicious ! Ahi tuna bowl was so fresh and flavorful. Mahi tacos were also so fresh and yummy! Burgers were plentiful and yummy! The Hula pie was the icing on the cake ! Loved our last lunch of vacation here. View of the pier was so beautiful from our table.

Met up with friends at Dukes, it's a great place for lunch or dinner. We met for lunch, the hostess was warm & friendly. Although we had reservations, there was a bit of a wait because it was pretty busy, We were seated with a view of the beach. Although it was blocked because of all the tents due to the US Open Surf competition, again, not a problem because I was there to catch up with friends and after lunch we could walk out to the pier or beach. Food: Excellent, had Caesar Salad with grilled salmon, my friends got different sandwiches with fries Ambiance: Casual and modern. Feels airy and open. Service: Excellent, our server was attentive, friendly and professional, she noticed gift bags & that we were celebrating something so she brought us a hula pie, super yummy and delicious ice cream pie. Pricing: $76 for 3 lunch, 1 beverage, 2 waters Parking: Valet for $9 for 3 hours, after 3 hours it's $25

Great restaurant! Nice atmosphere, nice views of the water with delicious food and drinks! Jess our bartender was wonderful! We will be back! 🙂
