Reviews Duke's Huntington Beach

I love Dukes. The girls are all so friendly and helpful, they know there menu's and are knowledgeable about the foods and drinks. The management are friendly to everyone and want to make sure everyone has a great time and enjoyed there meals. The food is outstanding, There filet mignon is amazing has the best flavor and so tender, but they have a fish like that has the best sauce over it and it just flakes and has the best flavor ever. I enjoy myself every time I go to Dukes and would highly recommend it to everyone. The girls in the bar area are all so fun and fast and entertaining to. lol There is one that comes to mind that makes you want to come back to see her just to see what else she comes up with, she is so fast and has the cutest personality and everyone loves her. She is an asset to Dukes for sure.

Went here for lunch on our way to Hollywood yesterday, picked it at random. Valet parking was nice because of how busy it was. We ordered the fish and chips and had great service from Jamie. Beautiful view except the Surf competition was being set up so couldn’t see the ocean much, but still enjoyed the atmosphere and even went down and got a beach towel from Vans for the competition! For as large of a place, there were only 3 stalls in bathroom with a line to use. The meal was tasty and exactly what we were looking for.

The food and atmosphere was awesome!!!! I was there with my husband,daughter and other family....music,beach and our server was definitely informative and had a great personality that gave us a great experience!!!!!

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.

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!

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

Amazing place with beautiful views and absolutely delicious food! Swordfish was heavenly but so was everything else. Loved it

What a beautiful place with splendid food! The service was wonderful, too. We made 2 reservations because we had a large group. They were kind enough to put our 2 tables close together so we could still mingle and pay mostly together. My food was delicious! I didn't ask a ton about our other 10+ people, but everyone seemed happy. The space is absolutely gorgeous! It's right on the beach with the perfect views of the pier and waves. I loved it!

Reliable HB option for lunch or dinner. Great beachy look, friendly service, excellent food. Anything with fish in it, you'll likely be happy!

Stopped in on our way from LA to San Diego after reading an online recommendation. So glad we did! We were sat next to a wall of windows overlooking the beach- lovely atmosphere. We had the calamari appetizer, which was a generous sized portion and oh so good. The fish tacos were excellent- the plate came with two and I had one beer-battered and the other Cajun- they were equally delicious. Finally, we finished our meal with the macadamia nut ice cream cake- well worth the splurge! All of the staff was very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Duke’s!

We met another family for lunch at Duke's Huntington Beach. The other couple came equipped with two grandchildren, and so did we. Duke's is right on the beach, a great beach, by the way, and they have a semi outdoor bar, called the barefoot bar. So this is one place where you can get a drink without putting your shoes on. You do have to wear shoes in the indoor areas of Duke's. We had a reservation for noon, and our table was ready when we arrived at noon. Service was friendly, but kinda slow. We were there for a sociable chat. Our server probably intuited that we didn't need or want prompt service. The decor was very nice, and the food was first rate. I had a Mango BBQ chicken salad. It consisted of chicken, grilled or fried (I chose grilled), mango BBQ sauce, romaine lettuce, black beans, pepper jack cheese, roasted corn, avocado-tomato salsa, and buttermilk dressing. It tasted even better than it sounded. This dish is a level one recommendation. If you're anywhere near Huntington Beach, go to Duke's and order the Mango BBQ Chicken Salad. Everyone enjoyed their meals. For those who had their excellent fries, the potatoes were peeled in such a way that there was still a bit of skin on the fries. This enhanced their flavor and their nutritive value. If you go to the beach in southern California, Huntington Beach is a great place to go. And Duke's is a great place to eat.

It costed $9 to park in their parking lot and they don’t validate parking which kind of sucks. So you can either use street parking or somewhere else. The restaurant was clean and had a nice beach vibe overlooking the ocean. The window tables were taken so we waited at the bar and had a drink. 10 minutes later they had a window spot available for us. They have a nice drink menu with beach tiki themed drinks. Food tasted excellent and if you plan on coming here get something with fish in it. Might as well treat yourself with desert if you have room after. Word of advice is to share it with your partner because desert was huge. Overall a good spot to stop at and take a walk on the beach after to let the food digest.
