Long wait for dinner on the patio but the view of Waikiki Bay and Diamond Head were worth it. Food was good and the servers were on point
Great view, drinks, food, prices and best of all service. Thanks to the staff for being quick and courteous. We will be back before leaving Hawaii.
One of the best Restaurant at Waikiki- Beach. Best food, best staff. 👍💖🌴
Great service, Brandon from Jamaica mon! Shrimp pasta cooked perfectly, not too heavy. I highly recommend this beautiful place.
Ate there 7/20 for lunch and our experience was exceptional! Had about a 25 min wait for a table- not bad for the Saturday crowd. Both the food and drinks were very good. Our waitress was very friendly and her service was excellent. This was our first trip to Oahu and Dukes and we will be back!

Wonderful ambiance. Our waitress was terrific. And the view was breathtaking. Plus, the steak was delicious!!!!
The view was beautiful. The service was friendly and prompt. The beer was cold. There food was delicious.
What can I say, wonderful view, staff, service, food and drinks.
I couldnt ask for anything better. Great service. The fish tacos are amazing. And the view of the ocean is outstanding!!!
Had buffet lunch $19 all you can eat. Great salads selection. Perfect location with wonderful views for a memorable lunch.
There was a bit of a wait when we went on a Tuesday night but that was expected due to the popularity of this restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic and the service from our waiter was outstanding. I ordered the prime rib and the lobster in cream sauce, my wife ordered baked “Duke’s” fish. The prime rib was excellent and my wife seemed to have loved her dish. She didn’t leave any for me to try. Not even a scrap. She must have been hungry. This definitely was a great experience with fantastic service from our server. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Waikiki!
The atmosphere and the location are spot on. You are right on the beach with great views and an awesome spot to check out the sunset. The drinks were very good and had plenty of alcohol.
The kids chicken strips were very funky, the flavor was off and the kids and adults both agreed that they were odd. Do not order them if your kids are expecting standard chicken strips.
The steak was average, the price was not. The chicken teriyaki however was good and I would order that again if we come back.
The drinks and ambiance are superb. Their appetizers were fantastic. The poke wonton tacos were among the best we had ever had! It was absolutely delicious. The drinks were very well made as well. The entree was good however fell a bit short when compared to the stellar appetizers in my opinion. The ribs weren’t as tender as I imagine or would have liked them to be. Bear in mind, the entrees are still very very good and would likely be a slam dunk 5-star product were it not being compared to the appetizers. Finally, the live entertainment was really good as well. Overall, a highly recommended place.
I am not a chicken wing fan. These were the exception. I got them to share with my man, and wound up eating most of them. These blew me out of the water.
Perfectly crispy without being overly fried. Well sauced, not dry but not drowning.
Chicken was juicy and super fresh and the actual wings were a GOOD size. Wow.
Also got French fries and they were also crispy, well fried but very fresh and soft
Dukes is packed so you can't expect the service to be devoted to you but the staff do a great job of trying to be efficient and manage everyone.
Lava flow was a must and it did not disappoint!
The atmosphere is stellar, you'll likely meet and talk to new people. Great views!
This place was absolutely amazing! If you're looking for a fun place for dinner, this is definitely the spot! We sat at the bar, and David was our bartender. Best one yet! (I might be biased bc he's Filipino) They have great fish n chips, great drinks, and live music! It's not the place to go if you're looking for peace and quiet, though.
Gray place to come if you are able to sit at the bar. The tables in the bar are not high enough to be able to see the ocean. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive! The menu is pretty small. We chose to go to Monkeypod only because they had more menu options for our group.
We were curious about this place as there were so many good reviews and Duke's Waikiki did not disappoint. They are very popular so we had reservations but the restaurant is so big that they did also have some walk-in availbility. If you do have to wait a while there are lots of shops nearby.
The food tasted great, what really stood out for us was their signature pie. You really do need to end your meal off with this dessert if you check out this place because it is so good. It's not too sweet, which is how we like most of our desserts.
We really appreciated our waitress, she was really so kind and patient. But even the rest of the staff, from the girl that showed us to our seats, and the people that delivered our food, were all very friendly.
Go early or you have to wait to get a table. We waited for 45 minutes. While waiting we went into Duke"s surf shop to have a look. Our server was very attentive and took the trouble to explain the menu and also recommended some good choice. The front entrance was decorated with Halloween displays. Once inside, the walls are lined with photos of Duke himself or in the company of others. Highly recommended the lobster set. The humus we ordered was just extraordinary.
The calamari was large and deep fried to perfection, the Chicken Bacon BLT was a picture perfect and taste pallet perfect sandwich, and the mojito was very good, but I like them sweeter. The wait staff were fast and courteous, as well as the bartenders. It was fun watching the bartenders, they were very talented tossing, shaking and almost juggling their mixing containers with their large list of continuous orders of food and drinks. It is a very friendly, cozy almost crowded atmosphere and a good place to get closer to the ones you are with. I will be frequenting Dukes when I am in the area.
This place is popular. We did not book in advance. We walked in at 8pm and Need to wait like 40 minutes.
They have bar and dining section. 2 different menu. We opted for dining menu.
Food taste is good. Portion wise is big. Overall good experience
Dinner: Look, it's fine. It's a massively overpriced tourist trap with loud music, "fancy food" that simultaneously plays up its quality & tastes like high quality mainstream tourist pub food (but certainly not closer to the fine dining prices they charge), and some good local options, which can be surprisingly hard to find in tourist Waikiki. But honestly? Honestly it's just a reminder that you're in tourist land, and you should get out of this part of town and go experience some real Hawai'i.
But yeah, if you're like us and this is one of your few nights and you can't get out tonight, settle in and enjoy the theme park ride! The food's good, the service is good, the music can be great, and it's part of the Waikiki experience.
Day service at pool/bar: absolutely fantastic. Fresh salads, great drinks, terrific service. As good as you'll get anywhere.
$9.50 for a decent beer but what do you expect for being served on one of the most famous beaches in the world? The food and service was good but very busy so we had to share a table with strangers but by the time they were ready to leave we were friends and I fact came in on the same boat 🚢.
I had the mango BBG Bacon burger, that and 3 beers put the tab over $32 but we were killing time waiting for sunset and take some pics
The restaurant is spacious and lively, with plenty of seating and live music creating a vibrant, tropical atmosphere. We didn't make a reservation, but we were pleasantly surprised by the short wait in the waiting room. The menu is compact, but the dishes ordered impress with their taste, despite the high prices and modest portions. We liked the featured hula pie, but keep in mind that it's all ice cream and topped with nuts, whipped cream and a thin layer of Oreos, enough for two. I didn’t like the second dessert, “pono pie,” due to its sourness and not bright taste, but lovers of unusual tastes may like it. The waiter service is commendable, providing excellent service.
Our bartender Justin was quick with service and very informative. Maddie was backing him up and our visit was made even better than expected. The food was amazing (we ordered what Justin suggested). The views are great and the vibe is pure Waikiki. Don't miss these guys on your next visit!
Highly recommend getting a reservation, we chanced it and got lucky but we weren’t in a desired seating location. That’s okay, the food was very tasty and our server was super friendly and attentive. If you’re on the fence I’d say go for it. Here are some pictures from what we ordered.
There is a reason this place has over 13k reviews and such a high rating. From the friendly and paradise atmosphere by the beach, to the food and drink quality and the cordial nature of the staff, you have to come and dine here! The lunch buffet is so worth the price considering an app and a lunch item is more than the buffet cost. And the buffet has pretty much a little of everything you could possible want to try. And the drinks…everything tasted like paradise. However, I would come here everyday just to have the Coconut Mojito with lilikoi…I have never loved a refreshing drink like I had enjoyed this. Highly recommend!
Very popular beach side bar and restaurant with a ton of seafood options and extremely friendly staff.
We came on a Friday afternoon and sat at the bar, place was packed but we were served quickly and ordered a few cocktails and calamari.
They open at 7a every day and have a breakfast buffet, this is the perfect spot if you want to be near the beach and enjoy some cocktails and music.
