Dukes, Huntington Beach Reviews

Great food and service
Wonderful view of the beach and ocean!!

I simply liked their dishes. I always get awesome service there. The place is well kept and the cashiers are always kind. Will visit here again.

The food is big box food, it s not fresh like I had hoped especially since it s located right next to the pier. If you are looking for draft beers they have a great selection but that s all they have. The food however, we ve had way better for less at other places near by.

Simple menu, but very well done. Waitstaff did a great job explaining the types of fish and preparation options available.

My favorite Duke s. Though I love Waikiki. You can not beat Huntington Beach. This place this view is remarkable. The food the service are outstanding. I continue to come back to this place. It s simple. The food is good and the view is worth a million.
Had a wonderful evening ordered the Ahi and the Huli chicken. I had to get the Duke s famous desert.

Our server was extraordinary, very friendly. The food was very good, I had baked mahi over roasted asparagus and rice. Other people in my party had the fish tacos, which were pretty good.

Great location, right at the end of Huntington Beach Pier. Perfect place to eat, drink and watch the sunset. Causual/fine dining atmosphere. My family loved their meals, from steak to lobster. I had the halibut, I found my dish to be slightly dry, but only because I ordered the sauce on the side, which I would not do inless you are dairy free like me. My Aunt had same dish with normal preparation and said it was amazing. Service was great, and desserts were delicious. Will come back again!

After a long day of rippin gnarly waverinos with my beach babe we came here to eat some shellies and relax, they wouldnt let us in without shoes, even though we wiped the sand off our feet! Not a barefoot bar, not surfer friendly :(

Love this place whenever we are in Cali!
Always great service, extremely good food, & omg the location!

Had my engagement dinner here with my family. Food was wonderful and service was efficient. Could have been a little nicer/entertaining but still a pleasant experience.

FANTASTIC!!! We got the coconut shrimp, poke tacos, fish and chips and hummus. It was all great!! So was the service and live music.

Great food, great view of the beach, perfect service!

What a beach and beautiful sea! perfect for surf freaks!

Resto of good behavior. Varied menu, good wines and gluten-free menus. Open later than other restaurants in the area.

I love coming here for fish tacos on Tuesday nights. Grab a cold Pacifico, order one of each and be generous with the Chili California hot sauce. You won't be disappointed.

Nice staff, great view, and awesome food. Had the house special which is a nut and parmesan crusted fresh Opa filet and it was delicious. While expensive the place is upscale and the portions and taste were worth the expense. Good selection of drinks, desserts, and appetizers that were also all delicious.

Parking is $8. Fries are not crispy when requested. Great service. Yummy burgers. I am a fan.

Good place with nice views and the servers are kind. They offer many different foods, drinks, and desserts. It is right next to the pier, and they have valet parking right in front. The only thing is that it is pricey.

Excellent quality meals and drinks. The views of the ocean are amazing.

Just okay for me. The food is not as good as Hawaiian locations.

I had the chef's special which at first sounded great coming from the waitress lips, but was too creamy and lacked taste. After squeezing lime on my dish it tasted better. There was not much taste beyond the creamy sauce. The shrimp was great and tasted like REAL shrimp.

Also, as we closed our ticket out, we ran into a problem because she split the ticket when she was not asked to do so. She made it seem as if were a problem to charge each person for what they'd ordered. I believe she was ready to go home and get rid of us colored girls.

Dukes is a fun place with good atmosphere. The food is good, not amazing but good. I will say the hula pie is worth going there for. Hula pie is an oreo cookie crust, stacked with macadamia nut ice cream, topped off with whipped cream, macadamia nuts and hot fudge. If your visiting its a must see, for locals its ok once and a while.

Hawaiian BBQ? Yes sir! Chicken and ribs were outstanding. Macaroni salad and the bok choy macadamia nut side salad also top notch. We also had the macadamias nut encrusted mahi. Again, very good. And they take reservations! Must go to when in HB!

Dukes is a nice place to eat a special since it's on the pier Huntington Beach is always great to visit food is good services great definitely recommend you eat here

My favorite after surfing place to grab a beer and the catch of the day.

Sat at the bar and was given fantastic service. Will return when I go back for sure.

The only upscale dining in Huntington Beach that is on the beach. Great views and great food, right at the pier.

We ate here for the first time from Denver, CO....great food, great service...and absolutely amazing views. Will definately come back.

The food was great, awesome drinks, and next yr, I want some of that Birthday ice cream cake.

Ok good, great drinks. You pay for location and that's really it.

They made sure to make space for our strollers. Very welcoming pleasant visit to Huntington

This beachside spot is a great place to hear some Polynesian music with a cold beer and some football. Hang out with some friends or have a date night as you celebrate the accomplishments of Duke K. Mahalo!!!

For a visitor, I'd rate our dining experience as a classic California dining experience. Great food, service, and view.

Very cozy place and relaxing. The food is superior. The view is beautiful. Will return. Enjoy the opportunity.

This place is perfectly placed on the Pacific Ocean. Great food, amazing service, great location.

This place is an absolute must visit!! Try the smoothie and fish tacos!!

Came here tonight for my dear friend's birthday. The food is excellent and they have friendliest staff. Always mention a birthday to the server and get a you'll get a done if Hula Pie on the house!

Such a great place. Came in for quick appetizer calamari which was really good and Janna our waitress was the best. Very friendly:):)

Came had lunch here during the Air Show.. all the viewable seats were reserved with later time while we waited for their door to open.. we got seated as 2nd rate customers
Basically you have to know the owners or management to get not just a window seat and a personal handshake from the manager on duty.. otherwise the manager just glare.. you are not worthy.
Our waitress was fine.. food was okay..
When we left.. many of the viewing table still hasn't showed up.. many customers complained about their seating.. and the so call Reserved Section.

Great food, and friendly staff. Takes a while for food to make its rounds, but it's worth the wait. Coconut crust French Toast is delicious

Very delicious food!! Amazing view! Good environment, friendly staff!!

Here on vacation for Disneyland and we make it a point to hit this restaurant every year! Had John as a waiter and he was so friendly and accommodating with our family!

Great food and even better service all in a wonderful atmosphere. It's a Huntington Beach must go

The food and service was spectacular. Brad was awesome. Highly recommend.

This place was great. Food was great. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I didn't think I'd like the macadamia nut bok choy slaw but I loved it. The reason I'm giving four instead of five stars is two reasons. 1. The best thing we had there, the key lime pie, is not made there, but kudos to them that they have great taste in what they buy/offer, I was just slightly disappointed they didn't make it in-house. 2. (And this is more legitimate than #1) I had the Mac nut fish dish which had parmesan and panko encrusted fish with a lemon caper sauce which had Italian flavors and was incredible, then there was the house rice which had a Spanish rice flavor with corn, I think, and the Mac bok choy slaw which was something else entirely. While all parts of the dish we're delicious, they did not translate to me to be a cohesive dish. My husband had the sirloin, mashed potatoes, and carrots which is a classic combo, so I know they aren't like a fusion place and they don't advertise themselves to be that... So.... Yeah. I just wish there were unifying or correlating flavors in my dish. That's why it's 4 stars. Everything was really good though

We went on a Friday night with my wife after reading several good reviews, hungry and with high expectations. We started with appetizers, fried crab wonton and deep fried shrimp with a spicy sauce, flavor was OK, nothing special but we had a high expectation on main which was the chef s special recommended by the waitress.

Unfortunately the main was very unbalanced, the fish was totally unseasoned and the rice that came with it was uncooked, we were very disappointed.

We proceed to order couple of additional dishes, my wife got the fish in banana leaf which unfortunately had the same type of rice from the previous main that we ordered, what a disappointment.

I ordered some sort of tuna fish with a yellow sweet wasabi sauce, again no flavor but at least the rice that came with it was cooked. We let the waitress know that probably the chef didn t notice that the rice was not cooked, but we are not sure if the message reach to him or not. Anyway the manager came to apologize which was good, they didn t charge us for the main and provided a dessert to compensate for the experience, which is the reason why we are giving 1 star.

In summary, this place is overrated, we won t return for sure but the manager attitude rescue them from a disaster.

Visited for a birthday. Food was tasty, service was attentive and friendly. Some food portions were small for price. Seafood was expensive. Vibe was relaxed. Reminded me of my Hawaiian vacations.

Duke's Huntington Beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the beach vibes and sunset. The food is also amazing by the way. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Great views
Great beverages
Great food
Great service

Great food and great service! Have to try the Hula Pie!

Beautiful setting for my last night in HB with my kids. Food for the price was great.

Great place to drink but the weekend menu is very poor not many things to choose from

Decent priced food and drinks as long as you go during happy hour or one of their special days like taco Tuesday. One thing that was odd was their lack of happy hour beers.

Love everything about this place. Amazing time. Hope to come back soon.

good service, but a bit pricey
grilled fish is delicious, worth to try

Good prices, large portions, good options for vegetarians. So why 3 stars? The service was AWFUL. Our waitress wasn't overworked but somehow was the slowest person you could imagine. I asked for a second beer when food came and she came out after we had finished eating and said they were out of that specific beer, and if I wanted a different one. Just no.

Our food and drinks DELICIOUS. Great service by Jess... But when I asked to get another chair for a family of 4 at another table that only had 3 chairs...not even with us... The elderly woman at the hostess desk told me ..You can only have 4 chairs at a table... but the table next to the family of 4 had 8 chairs. The young hosted told me ...Im on it.Then thanked me for telling her. The elderly lady was completely rude and dismissive with my concern for her customers ! Not management material !!!

Very good place. A little pricey, but very good food. Excellent service! Must go if you visit Huntington beach.

Best Date Ever <3
The food was awesome and it was just as good as I remember

Glad the Huli Chicken is back - not exactly the same as before but still very good! It's a very busy restaurant, but there's a reason. The food is always great and I've never been disappointed with the server suggestions. Hula Pie is a must!

We walked in with 9 people and were seated at s large table within minutes. Great waiter and tasty nachos!

This place really knocked my socks off & is easily now my favorite Italian place in Miami. The BEST chicken parm I have ever had. Anywhere. Period...end of story. It comes on a bed of homemade pasta that is dressed in olive oil, garlic and pepper. Simple, but executed to perfection & delicious. The chicken itself could not be more perfect. Crispy, juicy and coated in a layer of melted mozzarella and a delicious tangy red sauce. I just can't recommend this dish enough. It's the best meal I've had in Miami in some time. My wife got the squid ink risotto with shrimp and it was superb as well. We had the salmon carpaccio and fried calamari for appetizers and both were good enough to get again.

Very nice location. Super relaxing. Food is good but not something special.
