Ambiance was stellar as it started to rain. Greg seats to see the ocean and the three cats that live on the grounds. I wanted to kick off this vacation right and my first sip of booze was from Dukes Beach House! Server was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. read more

The atmosphere at Dukes was ok, but the food was just not on par with other notable Hawaiian restaurant competitors. We thought we would give it a try again as we were hearing that they have taken steps to improve the quality of their food. We found it's the same offering and disappointing food quality that they have been serving for years... For those that rate Duke's a 4star restaurant, keep going if that's your idea of a premier food, but clearly you haven't experienced what the Maui culinary scene can offer you by settling for such tired, dated and mediocre food quality. I wish I could be more positive, but the current 4+star reviews are just not representative of our experience at Duke's. read more

Lunch prices are really competitive! Love the ocean front view, the decor, the staff...simple love all of it. This was our first visit to Duke's Beach House, but it won't be our last. Each trip we try to find a new place, this one will be a go to for happy hour and lunch going forward...at least once each visit to Maui. We were celebrating my wife's birthday so they gave us a nice big piece of delicious Kimo's Original Hula Pie after our meal...it was so big we all had plenty and were completely stuffed. The kalua pork sandwich was on point as well, the slaw complimented the sweatness of the pork perfectly! read more

We like the ambiance better than the food, but the food is very solid. Service was attentive and friendly while being quick. The patio was closed because of weather and they put down the shades to protect us, but it did make it very dark inside. We liked the fish sandwich and fries and the fish plate was fine, but not super remarkable. We will keep coming back for the atmosphere and views! read more

Super atmosphere right by the beach where you can eat a good meal while listening to the ocean. The food was very good. We ordered the Ahi to start but I didn't get a picture because it was so good it didn't have a chance. The prime rib and macadamia nut crusted Mahi was good. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. read more

First main dinner in Maui and it was a lovely evening out. Loved the pure Hawaiian vibes. The booth was a nice seating area and lovely place to watch sunset. The prime rib was excellent! Perfectly cooked and the horseradish was a great pairing. Worth a visit when in Maui! read more

We stopped into Duke's Beach House for an 11am brunch on a very rainy Maui morning. The weather kept things pretty quiet, and we were seated right away. Service was good overall--friendly and attentive--but nothing especially memorable. We were staying at the Westin and used the guest discount card, which came with a free appetizer. We went with the calamari, and it was a good start to the meal. For our mains, I had the BBQ chicken salad and my wife ordered the fish tacos. Both dishes were tasty and fresh, exactly what you'd hope for at a casual beachside spot. There was a small blip with my salad, but the staff fixed it quickly and without any hassle, which we appreciated. All in all, a solid brunch with good food and a relaxed atmosphere--even on a rainy day. Not quite a standout experience, but definitely a place we'd return to the next time we're on Maui. read more

Welcoming staff, our waitress was great, knowledgeable and friendly but I felt something was missing. Dukes is nestled on the beach in the back of the Westin, overlooking the ocean...but it was stale, the music was blah, the atmosphere was non existent and the food was okay. The breakfast and dinner menu looked promising but unfortunately we decided to go at lunch, middle of the day, so I really want to attribute that to our experience or lack thereof. Underwhelming is what it summed up to be, at least for me. read more

One of our first meals in Maui! We made a reservation for 4 on our first full day and we were seated right away. I would highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time as there were quite a few parties that were waiting. The restaurant is tucked behind a resort so we were able to find guest parking in front of the hotel free of charge. It is located by the water with an amazing beachside view. We ordered the POG and mango slush, both of which were fruity and refreshing. One of the best slushies I've had in awhile. We ordered the rib & chicken plate to share. Both the chicken and ribs were juicy and marinated well. Last but not least, the hula pie was SO DELICIOUS. We had received a complimentary coupon for the hula pie from one of the concierges at the resort, even though we did not stay there! the pie was ice cream with a shave ice texture, making it a perfect treat to end the meal. We were very very satisfied with this meal (+ the free pie!) and got to take a stroll on the beach afterwards too. Would highly recommend this place for the ambiance & food! read more

We had an excellent dining experience at Dukes. Our waiter, Brandon was exceptional. The ambiance is true Hawaiian. The fish dishes and ribs were excellent. The Hula pie was extraordinary. It is our new favorite restaurant. read more

I had a great evening at Duke's in Lahaina. We made a reservation since it's really popular, and we were seated early by the live ukulele music--perfect sunset vibe. Service was attentive, and the view of the beach was incredible. I had the macadamia-crusted fish, which was absolutely delicious, and we shared a Hula Pie--big portion, really tasty. Everyone else enjoyed their meals, though the calamari was just a bit different from what we expected--thicker, not as crispy. Overall, a really nice experience, but given the price, I'd say it's a solid four stars. read more

Great food, good server! To start we got the crab wontons. The crab filling was SMOOTH and CREAMY and the Thai sauce went well. But it kind of over powered the crab. The fish was AMAZING and FRESH! We had the Sautéed Mac Nut & Herb-Crusted Fresh Fish (mahi-mahi) and the banana leaf steam fish (hapu'u hawaiian sea bass) Great flavor and butteriness of the white meat fish and the rice and vegetables went really well with the dishes. We also tried the prime rib that was well seasoned, tender, juicy, and had a good chew. Paird really well with the horseradish. The dessert were DELICIOUS! Definitely try out the creme brûlée which came with three different flavors and the lilikoi pie (kinda more like a tart/cheesecake) but it was VERY GOOD. Had a nice tang from the sauce and the coconut crust added a nice crunchy texture! read more

We did a walk up reservation around 6:15pm on a Monday and inquired about a table outside to watch the sunset. Staff were very nice and said they would try their best but said they have about 55 actual reservations before us for those tables. We were able to just watch the sunset on the beach and got seated around 7pm inside but still had a good beach view. Bula, our waiter was attentive and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and helped me decide between dishes. Drinks: Mai Tai and Spiked Pog Slushie, both were delicious and tasted like they didn't have much alcohol but we both agreed we could feel the alcohol lol. Appetizer: Poke Tacos, were delicious and fresh Entrees: They were unfortunately out of prime rib so we got the sautéed mac nut and herb crusted fresh fish which was delicious and had very flavorful capers. We also got the fish tacos which weren't anything astonishing but still very good. The salsa was perfectly sweet and salty. Dessert: Bula brought us a huge piece of Kiki's Original Hula Pie to celebrate our Anniversary which was complimentary but I would have paid for either way because it was so good. Total for the meal was around $185 with the tip. Great atmosphere and an upper-scale restaurant, well worth the money for a nice evening. Plus it is walkable. read more

We have been to Dukes in Waikiki and my bf really wanted to visit Dukes while in Maui. We did not have reservations so we did a walk in. They have open seating for the bar top and bar area. While we were waiting a table actually opened up in the bar so we decided to take it. The bar area offers the bar menu and the full dining menu. I love lava flows and was a bit sad not to see it on the menu. I asked the waitress if they had it and she said they do, but it's not on the menu. My bf ordered a mai tai which he really enjoyed! My lava flow was delicious! Sadly, service just wasn't there... we would've loved to get another drink each, but the waitress never came to check on us. For food we ordered the poke tacos and the pork nachos. The tacos were really good and I would highly recommend. The nachos were good, but over baked. We had pieces that tasted burnt and the cheese was crisp vs gooey. They were hard to eat as they were all stuck together and would easily break due to being overcooked. Overall the food was ok, the place had a great view and great vibe, drinks were good, but it is not worth going out of your way to come and it is overpriced. I will also add that there was no live music despite being on the schedule. read more

Stopped in on our first night of vacation! It was the perfect spot to kick off our vacation with yummy drinks and good food and a beautiful view of the ocean. We were seated on the patio overlooking the sunset. As the sun set, they turned on the tikis and live music began, and the ambiance was set! I ordered the furikake ahi steak. It was perfectly seared and plated on rice with a delicious spicy sauce. Our waiter Charles shared that it was his favorite and I was thankful I took his recommendation. The hula pie was not as delicious as it has been in the past. The inside tasted freezer burnt and lacked on the macadamia flavor. This was disappointing as it is one of my favorite desserts typically. Definitely recommend! read more

Beautiful views and and some pretty good grub. We made a reservation (recommended) for lunch and showed up a little early. Few minutes of waiting and we were seated with a great view of the ocean near the bar. The following was enjoyed. Cheese burger with added avocado and bacon. Good quality brisket sirloin patty chared nicely and medium as ordered. Maui Sunflower salad: A little underwhelming with the dressing (quantity and flavor was lacking a little) . Overall a good meal. Fish and chips. Good quality ahi crunchy shells (two) and some tasty salsa. Spendy popular place always hoping in the evening. read more

We went back again to Duke's Beach House on our last night in Maui. It was crowded on a Monday night. We had a table that was on the path for everyone who was being seated. We did not appreciate that. Again we split a maui sunflower caesar. My husband chose the Seafood risotto. It was very good. I had the Rib and Chicken plate. the ribs were very good, however, the chicken was a bit dry and chewy. The restaurant is right on the beach and I wish we had a better table to enjoy the atmosphere and the live music. We did go back because it was conveniently located at our hotel. On the last night, when I am packing to go home, it is nice to be able to walk to a restaurant and not need to find parking. read more

I was disappointed with the food here, though the service was great and I could see it being an awesome place for happy hour drinks on the beach. I got here after dark, so I couldn't see the water. The coconut shrimp were pretty good and the seafood risotto was okay. The cocktails looked fun but were just okay and the Maui pie looked realllllly good, but I didn't order it!!! We were full. I wouldn't say it's a must in Maui, sadly. read more

We were visiting Maui for a family vacation and we decided to eat at this place as it showed it walking distance from our hotel. We didn't have a reservation which was fine because they were able to seat all 4 of us with no problem. They were also very accommodating when I asked if I could place the stroller for my baby somewhere that's not in the way. They were so sweet and nice!! This restaurant is literally right near the beach, you could walk there after you're done eating. Which is what we did and we were able to catch a beautiful sunset! The food was absolutely delicious and so fresh!! I was so impressed with the poke tacos and the food!! But my favorite had to be the dessert! The hula pie was so big that we split it amount the 3 of us and devoured it!! Such a great way to end our evening!! Great atmosphere and great food overall!! read more

Just finished our meal this evening and have an update from last year's review: absolutely NO CHANGE from my 5-star review last year! And coincidentally, we even had Hailey as our server again (which made the entire evening!) Tonight, we had multiple appetizers: 1) the Korean sticky ribs were out of this world! VERY meaty, no fat, fall-off-the-bone tender. But you must like heat, because they are smoking hot given the gochujang - - we ended up ordering another. 2) the coconut shrimp and calamari: we ordered one of each, and they were so great we ordered another of each! The pros: the appetizers were awesome The cons: we ended up not ordering dinner But the best part of the evening was Hailey - she is the person you would want to hire as the face of your company's customer service. And, she's supported by a great staff - multiple servers were picking up plates, refreshing drinks, etc. when needed. Awesome all the way around - we caught the sunset too from our table. This place has become our tradition - having dinner the night before we leave for home. And don't leave without ordering the hula pie... read more

Duke's Beach House - View from Dukes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

IMHO As we walked down the beach walkway along Ka'anapali Beach, we saw Duke's in the distance and looked at their menu. Even though we had eaten an early breakfast, we decided to see if we could get seated without a reservation. We had absolutely no issues getting a table for four, which was a big surprise. Mark was our funny and happy server, who brought us a Kimo's Grog, $18, and two Ali'i Bloody Mary's, $12 each. The four of us shared a 3-piece Fish & Chips, $29, and Korean Steak Street Tacos, $26, which totally satisfied. We topped it off with Duke's renowned Hula Pie, which was complimentary from our resort! Dang, this pie drew oohs and ahhs from the table next to us, as Mark brought it to our table. "That belongs to us!" we screamed in mock horror! If you go, make sure you make room for this huge, delectable ice cream pie! read more

Very mid food for what the price is and service could be better. The location is inside a resort so usually it's going to be overpriced.

Great food. Very conveniently located right on the beach, with beautiful views of sunset. Service was good. The food came out fast and fresh. I will say, thought del a bit rushed. We didn't order appetizers or drinks so I don't know if that factors into the calculus of service speed. There also is a long wait for a table so I definitely recommend reservations. Prices are typically for this highly touristy area. Expect to pay $60-80 per person at the end of dinner. Flavors were good, not out of this world to justify the price but overall a solid dinner. read more

Duke's Beach House is always a highlight when we visit Maui! The atmosphere is unbeatable--right on the beach with stunning ocean views, swaying palms, and that perfect island breeze. It's the kind of place that instantly puts you in vacation mode. We ordered the mahi mahi tacos, sticky ribs, lobster tail, and of course, dessert--and everything was phenomenal. The mahi was fresh and flavorful, the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the lobster tail was perfectly cooked and buttery. Dessert was the cherry on top--delicious and beautifully presented. What really made the night even better was the incredible service. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the team takes pride in creating a great dining experience. If you're in Kāʻanapali, Duke's is a must. Amazing food, top-notch service, and that iconic Maui view--what more could you ask for? read more

The food was good but pricey Haley, our server, was excellent but we arrived and wanted a reservation for 7 and they told us 90 mins but if we wanted we could hang around an area of 8 tables near the bar that were FIRST COME FIRST SERVE so it was up to us to hover over people to grab their table while others were doing the same ( like Black Friday at Walmart) no thanks That was a turn off to us. There should have been a wait list of sorts for that area as well . Don't pit customers against each other for a table. read more

Wow, just wow. From the moment I walked in, the experience was incredible. The hostess greeted me with a birthday card, which was such a thoughtful surprise and set the tone for the whole evening. I felt genuinely welcomed, and our server Jon truly made the night unforgettable. You can always tell when someone loves what they do, and Jon absolutely radiated that. His service was warm, attentive, and personal and he even took the time to chat with us about the local wildlife and the geckos and lizards we'd seen during our stay. Definitely not in the job description, but so appreciated! Now the food *chef's kiss*. I had the Korean sticky ribs and seafood risotto. The ribs had just the right amount of spice and were fall off the bone tender. The risotto was rich and creamy, packed with lobster, scallops, fish and shrimp in a beautiful white wine sauce. Every bite was amazing. Great recommendations made by Jon! And to top it off, they made my birthday extra special with a complimentary slice of hula pie (a must have) 10/10 experience. I can't wait to come back! read more

We have visited Dukes on several occasions while staying at the Honua Kai. Dukes stays very busy so reservations are a must, unless you are having breakfast or lunch. The macadamia nut crusted fish is great. The hula pie is the best dessert on the planet. Great views of the ocean. Flies can pester. Cats can be seen in the bushes. Ambience at sunset is hard to beat. Live music much of the time. Subpar beer selection. read more

The iconic Duke's is a must if you're in Lahaina. The beach location is as spectacular as the service. Our server, Brian, was attentive, friendly, and quick to bring our order. The ambiance is relaxed. A singer played the ukulele live, which made the entire experience very cool and unique. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, from salads to burgers. I loved the fish and chips and also tried the Caesar salad. Leave room for the world-famous Hula Pie and spend some time at the beach afterward. read more

Fabulous Hawaiian vibe with open air restaurant looking directly over the beach! Outside bar area has adorable tiki style palapa shade covers making this the perfect stop for your Hawaiian getaway!! Ordered the seared ahi tuna steak with coconut lychee rice. The dish was also served with bok choy in a delicious black bean sauce and sautéed mushrooms, topped with pickled onions and literally a pickle on top! We also order the arugula beet salad (not pictured), which had great flavor and was very fresh. I cannot tell you how epicly delicious the food, service and live band were at this location. Highly recommend!!! Pro tip: if you can, definitely call ahead to reserve a table. We did not have reservations and wait time around dinner was 1 hr. Thankfully you can grab a glass of wine and relax at the bar area and listen to music while you wait. read more

We went "two-and-a-half" times while on the island. It's right next to the beach, great views, open air. The first time, we went in without reservations not too long after they opened. We were seated quickly and waited on by "Kiwi" who was a great guy--very friendly and had great advice for our stay. She got Avocado Toast and I got the Loco Moco. The kitchen was fast at this time of day. Hers was good, though smaller than she expected. It didn't stand out as amazing. It was pretty much the same as any other dish of the same name anywhere else. My Loco Moco was OK as well. The sauce was more bland than I expected, but wasn't bad. Again, not amazing, not the best I've had, not the worst. I got their Tropical Fruit Smoothy, and it was actually really good. The next time we came we got the breakfast burritos. They were good sized, tons of eggs, not much meat. The salsas and crema-style sauce were great, though. In the end, great sauces with tortilla-wrapped scrambled eggs. HERE'S MY ADVICE FOR POOL SIDE--if you have to eat, pay the added fees for pool-side delivery: The "half" time we went, we were lounging around the pool of the condos that Duke's is at. 3 ways to order: Online, in person, or via the walky-aroundy folks that take food and drink orders while you're lounging. Check, that 2 ways--their online ordering was "not being accepted" the whole time we were here. If you use the folks around the pool, a 20% fee is automatically added. This is on top of some other 3 or 4% fee added that I'm not sure what was. Not tax, because that's added too. I went up to order in person because the pool folks kept getting pulled away from our area before they made it to us, so after 45 mins of waiting for one, I just went--I had to ask where to order (thought that's because of the direction I walked up from, I didn't see the to-go around the corner), went where I was told and still waited 10 minutes for the same person I asked to sigh and come over to help me. Ordered the nachos w/chicken. It was ready right when they said it would be (25 minutes) but when I picked it up, it was already cold--I walked over less than a minute after getting called to come pick up. Everything was congealed and--literally--cold. Not cooling off, but cold. It was mediocre, not much sauce and the chicken didn't have much flavor. I'm assuming the kitchen was just as fast as before but my order sat until the prescribed 25 minutes was reached? From what I saw walking around from the pool attendant folks, it was a larger portion, and fresh, I'm assuming they grab it pretty soon after it's done from the kitchen--not sure. But it looked enticing which is why we ordered. Oh, if you want a drink you have to go separately to the bar to order, the to-go person doesn't do drinks. But if you're a soda person, don't bother because their fountain mixture is mega-borked. The Pepsi tasted like old-school Rolaids--how does that even happen? Overall, for dining in, great service and OK food for a slightly higher price than other places (they kind of have that trapped theme-park thing going on for pricing), for to-go, just don't do it. I'm still guessing it's fine if you get an attendant to order and bring it to you, but you pay for the same mediocre fare. read more

Been to Maui several times but try to support smaller local businesses so this was our first time to Dukes based on friends reccos. Here's our take. Ambiance on the beach: 5 stars. You can't beat Kaanapali beach...beautiful!! Service from Emily was awesome: 5 stars. Margaritas: 3 stars; too much lime and didn't taste any Grand Mariner. Burger: 4 stars. Meat perfectly cooked medium rare. Loved the shredded lettuce, but burger on bottom bun not good. Need a barrier else juice from burger deteriorates the bottom bun. Would we go back? Yes. The Caesar salad and fish tacos look amazing. read more
