Duke's Seafood - Seafood restaurant in Tacoma - 3327 Ruston Way, USA

Great food! Husband and I dined here in October. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. Dessert was sweet without being too heavy. Restaurant overlooks the bay. Our waiter was also top notch, husband and I went onto the deck to take a picture, and she ran out and offered to take one for us. Total sweetheart, not to mention carrying the cutest belly bump. 10/10 would recommend.

Everything here was delicious. We came on December 23rd before heading to Zoo Lights. My husband got one of the burgers and said that it was really good, but he wished it had more cheese. He also wasn't a fan of the diet soda option they had. Aside from that, the crab deviled eggs, maple bacon prawn and scallop, and the seafood gnocchi were all divine! Massive portions. I couldn't finish my dish!

This is a terrific find on the Tacoma waterfront. Not at all what we were expecting but quite happy that we found it. We were in for an early dinner and it wasn’t too busy but by the time we left, it was really getting packed! The restaurant is nicely segmented so there was a cozy feel but they have spaces that were capable of holding a larger group. We got an excellent table by a window with a lovely view of the waterfront. Our server was quite attentive and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, walking through our myriad questions with patience. Appetizer was the maple bacon seafood bites. One scallop and one shrimp wrapped in bacon with a bacon glaze. Yum. I opted for the three course meal, soup, salad, and entree. Soup was the Lobster Mobster chowder and it was unlike anything I’ve ever had. Warm, smooth, rich, creamy. The salad was the Sweet Caper Spinach Salad, a wonderful combination of bacon, almonds, chopped eggs, and tomatoes over baby spinach leaves with a slightly sweet, slightly tart vinaigrette. My entree was the two piece Oh My Cod & chips. Pretty hefty slabs of fish very lightly breaded and fried to perfection. Super moist fish, plenty tender, and the dill tarter was the perfect compliment. If I had a beef with this, I could have used about 50% more ‘chips’. They were just average French fries and the only way to improve is to offer a few more of them. My wife’s meal was the Prawn, Scallop & Crab “Un”Cake Mixed Grill. The only thing I sampled here was the “un” cake (crab cake). This is hands down the best I have ever had. No doubt, 100% exceptional. This is so good they have crabs lining up to give their life for this cake!! Two amazing flavorful sauces with this, too. Be aware, this is not cheap eats but it’s a fine value for the dining dollar when combining all the elements of food, atmosphere, service, location, etc

Wade was our server and he was absolutely incredible. You could tell he loved his job and was so kind to us. We were celebrating Veterans day with my husband and got the gnocchi special. He offered a free bowl of chowder for his service and the food was incredible. Everything came out in a timely manner. We made a reservation beforehand and requested a seat by the window and it was a very beautiful view of the water. :) will definitely come back

Overpriced for the portions but the food IS really good! Long Island is not really worth it, but the crab cake sandwich is fantastic. Beware the crab cake app comes with 1 crab cake (pictured). Everybody I was in enjoyed their food though, definitely nice for a special occasion meal.

We enjoyed a very nice meal on our visit in the area. Sat on the waterfront and enjoyed the view. Service was quick, friendly and parking was plentiful. Ample seating both indoors and out. Plenty of appetizer, meal and beverage selections. Reasonable prices for the area.

Was visiting Tacoma for the first time and enjoyed a great lunch at Duke’s on a fall Saturday. I couldn’t decide on what clam chowder to get so went with the trio sampler of clam, lobster and seafood. All were excellent. A hearty, warm bread bowl was brought to the table. We were greeted at the front and seated by the window to enjoy an expansive and impressive view. Our server was polite and friendly. I look forward to returning.

Best service ever! Food is amazing! Thank you to all the staff that made our 2023 work Christmas party a success. The manager Kyle is wonderful, the mother / daughter waitress team pulled it off seamless. Great service. Highly recommend.
