The choices on the menu were extensive. Excellent service from Matt and Alex - very friendly and attentive. Drinks brought quickly and water refills plentiful. 5 of us for dinner, including our 8 year old granddaughter. She had only wanted shrimp tacos which they no longer have. Opted for chicken fingers with fries. I had a mixed grill plate that came with fresh veggies. Tiny little crabcake, 3 shrimp, 3 scallops - $36!. Hubby had the Cioppino chowder. Too bland for him because of the overpowering tomato base. Daughter and SIL had fish and chips. Served bread and butter and I had a Virgin Mary. Amazing drink and presentation! Free dessert for my birthday ! BIG issue for me was the $300+ bill , not including tip and small portions. Plus, the tables need a deep clean as the menus stuck to the table and bathrooms need some serious attention. Still a reputable restaurant. read more

Great service great prices I think and great food. We go there every chance we get. So much so, that they don't even wait to take our order. They see us and automaticly place the order before we hardly sit down. read more

I really wanted to enjoy D Dukes Seafood, and I have to say the service from Paris was excellent--friendly, attentive, and definitely a bright spot in the visit. That said, the food fell short of expectations, especially given the prices. The entrées were on the smaller side, the chowder portion was minimal for the cost, and the fish and chips, unfortunately, lacked flavor and the fish was overcooked. We also tried the calamari, which didn't have much seasoning, and the special deviled eggs, which came out rubbery with a filling that needed more flavor, even with the lobster on top. The atmosphere and service were good, but the food and value just didn't line up. With some adjustments to preparation and portion sizes, this place could be much better. read more

I have been to the Duke's at Southcenter and Ruston but never have been to the one at Kent, so decided to give it a try as I read from other reviews that they allow dogs and we were in the area. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon to spend time with our fur babies while grabbing lunch. I entered inside to see if they allow outdoor seating and not only was I greeted warmly but told that they do allow outdoor seating even despite it being in late November. We were guided by the hostess to our seats with menus and then given plates, utensils and water by our waiter, Alex. He even brought our dogs a huge water bowl to share, which I thought was considerate. I received my birthday offer so I got the Oh My Cod! Fish and Chips to split with my boyfriend as well as bowl of chowder to also share. When our food arrived, our food was already plated separately which I thought was very thoughtful. Service at Duke's is always spectacular no matter which location you go to, so please visit one you haven't already or if it has been some time because the food, service and atmosphere is always a good time. Our food was made to perfection, my boyfriend and I were raving about how the fish and breading were perfect. I love the texture and taste of the coleslaw. The clam chowder was very salty, which I wasn't a huge fan of and might have to try a different soup which is unfortunate as I adore Duke's clam chowder but this is a different location but it had the same amount of salt as my previous visit at Ruston so maybe it's a change in recipe? When we were getting ready to pay and pack up our food, Alex gave us a complimentary bread to take home as well as butter for us. Thank you Alex for being an absolute fantastic waiter and we hope to be back in a future visit. read more

Service and foods are good but the portion got so much smaller and more expensive. I laughed so much when I saw how tiny the clam chowder for the lunch combo was. I thought it was some kind of sauce for the burger! read more

Service was attentive. The crabcake sandwich sounded odd but turned out to be great. Not alot of cheap filler here. Blackberry cider was awesome. The lobster chowder wasn't amazing but wasn't awful either. Prices have skyrocketed since my last trip here. Still overall a good experience. read more

We were recommended this restaurant to try during our business trip. First impressions walking up and being seated were great. Seemed a great ambiance. Clean tables with a friendly service. Once we received the food, we were not impressed. The food had flavor but just okay. Nothing stood out as exceptional or great. Don't think I would try again. read more

Located at Kent Station, this place has plenty of adequate parking. We went in during dinner time and we're promptly seated. We opted for a bowl of clam chowder, and the two piece fish and chips. The chowder was delicious. Not overly salty and not smothered in bacon or seasonings. It had a wonderful natural flavor. It was a great way to start the meal. They have options for one piece or two pieces of fish and chips. I was concerned that the two piece might be too small, but when I receive my portion , I was happy to see that it was adequately sized for a meal. Thick pieces of haddock or lightly breaded and accompanied by fries. They even gave us extra tartar sauce for dipping. Overall, a tremendous experience and well worth it. I highly encourage anyone looking for a good seafood meal to try Dukes chowder and seafood read more

Food: Cod fish tacos were cooked perfectly. Love the cucumber salsa, the avocado and the slaw that went on it. It was some of my favorite tacos. And I eat a lot of fish tacos everywhere I go. The Dungeness crab salad was super refreshing. It had this sesame dressing that really compliments the salad. Bonus that they have outdoor dining so we can sit out with our dog. Service was prompt and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. read more

Today I took a client here for a retirement lunch. Parking is a bit tight and busy but worked out. Our server was Carlia and she and her friends were great at most everything checking in often. My fish and chips were great although a very small coke slaw that had small bits of pineapple which made me want more! She loves their crab cakes and got a "dinghy" of chowder. I thought the "salad" with it looked great. It was like a compressed large cube of chopped avocado and tomato with a cilantro topping. Almost asked for a bite. Dukes is expensive and not my usual but it was a fantastic classy choice for this outing and well worth the cost for such good food and service in a town that lacks quality fine dining IMHO. Much better experience here than my previous stops at Alki and Lake Union! read more

First time at the Kent location. I went on a week day. Happy hour started at 9pm until close. My server was excellent. She gave great recommendations for drinks and food. We were there past closing time and they were so kind when they had to kick us out, hahaha. It wasn't a busy night so that was cool. I prefer the other locations on the water but this one I think I will try to frequent more because it seems like a pretty low key spot. read more

It was disappointing:( I always had good experiences at SLU Duke's. My husband reserved for my birthday. They leads us to very loud behind the bar and close to the entrance seat :( it was cold. Food was different from SLU even tho the same manu :( was not good at all. Service not good. I didn't like server call me honey like talking to a child. This place was not busy at all. We could have at least quiet and cozy seat. It was first time there for us. Didn't know the place well. I didn't say anything after sold up for restroom. This was worst BD dinner ever. I guess we need to drive to Seattle for a good restaurant from now on. read more

In town from Houston. Read the reviews and decided to give this place a try. From the moment we were seated our server Edward was very friendly and helpful. Very attentive to our needs. My friend had the Blueberry Lemon drop and I had the Oh Mai Tai cocktails. Both were awesome. For dinner we had Halibut dinners. Both plates were delish. Well worth the splurge. Restaurant atmosphere was excellent. Everyone should visit if you're looking for fresh seafood and friendly and welcoming atmosphere. read more

Decided to go for brunch before a movie. Ordered some appetizers and tried the recommendation our server Tiara suggested. I have to say she was on point and we were all very pleased with the food. Yummy and delicious! We definitely will be back, thank you Tiara for a wonderful experience. read more

I've been to the location on South Lake Union prior and I recall that my impression was, meh. Awesome view of course. I'll tell you what, though, THIS is the spot to visit. Incredible service, amazing presentation and taste. We were treated like VIPs from start to finish. Tucked into Kent Station and very convenient to movies and other eateries and shopping. Parking is really not terrible if you give it a chance (knock on wood). Lovely staff here and the food is so good. Their chowder is award winning - we all know that chowder can run a spectrum; this one is both creamy AND peppery (often they are one or the other). For the entrees we got the fish and chips (you can pick what kind of fish, which is great; and also how many pieces you want) and the taco (it's a single giant taco with feta and avocado). Be sure you eat the taco as prepared. Don't try to pick it apart. You've got to taste all the flavors in combination. Highly Recommend. read more

Dukes is tried and true! I love their food and Carlia provides the best service around. I thoroughly enjoy sitting on their umbrella covered patio sipping cucumber mojitos. Dukes has hands down the best calamari in the state and their salads are always on point. All-in-all you can't go wrong with any menu item. Cheers!! read more

Went to Duke's after church on recent Sunday and were very impressed. From the hostess to the server to the manager who came by to make sure we were happy, everyone was very accommodating. But the food! I ordered the shrimp appetizer with a dinghy of Lobster Mobster Pernod chowder while my wife chose the scallop ravioli. When the orders came out -- fairly quickly, I'd add -- I was blown away by my wife's selection. When I saw "scallop ravioli," I thought it would have scallops in the filling, not a full scallop on each and every one! Had I known, I'd have ordered that, too. Fortunately, my wife was generous enough to share. It was a little noisy on this particular Sunday afternoon, as it appears we weren't the only ones stopping by after church, though we MAY have been the only ones without kids. Nonetheless, and enjoyable lunch that we'll definitely repeat. read more

We went in for an early dinner and sat outside. It was such a lovely time! We ordered the blackberry margaritas that were delicious. I got the Parmesan crusted halibut, it came with rosemary potatoes and sautéed garlic snap peas. It was absolutely delicious. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection! My husband got the crab cake sandwich combo that he said was amazing. And a very good deal for how much you get! Obviously the chowder is amazing too!! It was a nice change to go out somewhere and spend that money and the food actually tasting worth it. read more

The food and drinks was great and even went the mile packing our left overs and drinks in cups etc.

My go-to restaurant if I get to choose or if I have family in town! Yes, you're going to pay, but the food is fresh and delicious and they have a huge gluten-free selection! read more

Came here for lunch one day. We were greeted and sat down right away. The waitress was very nice and her service was great! She also let us know Monday is 50% off bottles I ordered clam chowder and fish and chips. The clam chowder was good but I say Pikes Place chowder is better. The fish tasted odd. It wasn't warm or hot and seemed undercooked. The chips were tasty and crunchy but again not warm or hot. The slaw tasted good. It had sesame oil in it but it wasn't cold. The next morning we had stomach issues and everything else we ate that day were normal things we ate except for dukes. It was unfortunate as we figured out we got food poisoning. Again the 3 stars is mostly for our server. read more

Best restaurant in Kent by far. The service, location, food quality and friendly staff make us welcomed and confident every time.

I went to Dukes with my mom for a typical dinner. I ordered a crab cake sandwich without cheese, plain. When it arrived, it had cheese, so as a former server, I tried to remove it, but it had already melted. I mentioned this to Adaya (who wasn't my server), and she was incredibly rude, condescending, and disrespectful! Not only to me, but to my mom as well. She looked at me and asked, "Can we just take the cheese off?" I explained that I couldn't eat melted cheese and asked if she could make a new one. She repeated her question while rolling her eyes, asking again, "Can we just take the cheese off?" I told her I'm allergic to cheese, hoping she would stop asking. I had already told her I didn't want the sandwich with melted cheese, yet she seemed frustrated with my request. It was especially odd because she wasn't even my server, so I didn't understand why she was so upset that I wanted my order corrected. When the manager came over, they were just as rude. This was a shocking experience since Dukes usually provides excellent service. Our actual server, Aldrine, was wonderful, understanding, apologetic, and tried her best to fix the issue, though I was already uncomfortable by then. At that point I did not want a new sandwich and my mother didn't feel comfortable finishing her food. I highly suggest avoiding this location unless Aldrine is working and can be your server. She was amazing! Unfortunately, this poor service ruined my dinner date with mother, and it was a very disappointing experience. Treated us as if we weren't paying customers. Aldrine, thank you so much for being so kind to us in a horrible situation! Your generosity meant a lot read more

Ok this is legitimately the lunch spot! Rockfish tacos my go-to. I can't get enough of it! The sauce is a bit sweet for my husband's liking but I didn't mind them so much. He got their burger and he said he's stuffed after. It was indeed a huge burg! He got the Moscow mule and said it was refreshing. We'll be back soon! I'm surprised the servers doesn't know us by now! read more

Dukes has been around as long as I can remember. It's an easy choice for seafood chowder and crabcakes. Their rockfish tacos are also really good. I like their seasonal cocktail choices as well. My favorite dish of theirs is the crab cake. I would not recommend the deviled egg. It's underseasoned and underwhelming. If you want an excellent deviled egg though, I recommend Communion in Seattle. read more

Had the Dijon Salmon & North by Northwest Chowder. Fantastic. The sourdough bread was also perfect.

I used to love Dukes in Kent. For the past few years, the food has been consistently from bad to worst. Everything was salty. Their award winning clamchowder was salty with no flavor. Their lobster chowder tasted like eating candy. Their northwest by northwest seafood chowder was served cold? with no flavor. How can you go wrong with calamari. It was served with two sauces (white and red). The red sauce was super sweet. What went wrong with Dukes? The service was excellent and the sourdough bread was good. Overall, food was overpriced and bad. I left feeling bloated and disappointed. I will not return. read more

I love this place for a quick seafood fix without all the frills before a movie. The quality of the seafood at this place is stellar for the price. My husband always orders the halibut stuffed with crab. My favorite is the stuffed and puffed prawns, which is shrimp stuffed with crab. We always order the calamari for appetizer, which I'm sad that they now serve half as much per order as they did in the past...but that's inflation! The side veggies are always crisp and perfectly seasoned. We also got scratch margaritas, which were perfectly made and packed a punch without all the added sugar. read more

We love their seasonal outdoor dining, especially in these pandemic times. The lobster bisque is delicious. My husband loves their fish and chips; he's right that their white fish is exceptional! All of our other entrees have been good as well. They are also quite attentive to allergies and other food issues. I'd prefer less bacon in their clam chowder. The hops in the hard cider were an unwelcome addition; those aren't listed as an ingredient in the menu item, and we won't order that item again. We've had very good service when we dined there on our wedding day and on our first and second anniversaries. read more

The food here was really good. I don't know if the restaurant serving staff gets off early but we had no service after 8pm.

Went here for a work function. We made reservations and was taken cared of very quickly. Party of 10 and not once did we feel that they forgot about us. Great selection of food and even for those picky eaters. Will definitely recommend it to others. Though its a bit pricy in my opinion. read more

I enjoy all the Dukes locations but this one is close to my home and so I come here the most often. Over the years the wait staff and bartenders have changed but the food remains consistently delicious. I love the oh my cod fish and chips. The fish is always fresh and delicious. The Caesar salad, although fairly bland is very good. I miss the days they had the blue cheese version but they are happy to put some blue cheese on top if you ask. They go out of their way to accommodate special requests and did I mention that the service is excellent? I recommend Dukes highly. It is a bit noisy but you can get a booth In the back. Enjoy. read more

Honestly this is the second time that we have had not great food. The cod was super dry, the sauce was good but cod way over cooked. Zucchini was so hard you couldn't stick a fork in it. The calm chowder was so smokey that my fiancé only ate half the bowl (he never leaves chowder behind!) and I was hoping to eat some but only took one bite because I didn't care for it. The cajun salmon sandwich was delicious overall but had to eat it minus the bread because the bread was so hard. (Might be a person preference) and the fries were great and tarter amazing. Overall unfortunately don't plan on going back. read more

Went in on a Wednesday afternoon during happy hour with a few friends to catch up in a chill environment. During this time the restaurant was not busy and some may even say slow.. all was well until our server was checking in on us repeatedly to the point we couldn't even finish our conversation in peace. It was extremely annoying and unnecessary but we got his point, paid our bill and left. Not the best treatment to get customers to return. read more

First I'd never been to Kent Station and my what a nice x surprise this was to see all the cool restaurants and shopping! I've been to numerous Duke's around the city and this one had the same good vibes and our server was great constantly filling our water glasses and tending to our table. We started off with the tender deep fried super calamari steak strips with a tequila lime aioli and wasabi aoli. For lunch I had the Dukes Unchopped Seafood Salad that came loaded with seared scallops and prawns, cashews, avocado, tomato, feta, and a nice garlic-basil-lemon-olive oil dressing. I also got the salad it Duke's way, which is chopped and tossed. We also had the pan seared coho salmon with a crusted ginger and basil top with organic fresh herbs and Grand Marnier with a balsamic infused beurre blanc all on top of mashed potatoes and asparagus. The salmon was nice and moist! All in all a nice lunch and would recommend if you're in the area! read more

We love Duke's seafood and chowder House. I typically order the 3 course meal because I really love the lobster mobster chowder, likr wild mixed salad and the fish tacos are always delish. However, this time the specials looked really good so my husband got the fresh halibut which he said was delicious and I ordered the seafood pesto linguine which had ample amounts of crab, shrimp, salmon and white fish. It was bomb!! Service was great, food was great. Dessert was also fabulous. read more
