Last night in town and decided to return to Dukes for their dinner. Our waiter Travis MADE the experience. Food was great, wait time was less than 5 minutes, but Travis was the highlight of the night! So kind, personable, helpful, friendly ... REAL hospitality. The staff is always nice but he truly stood out. Just wanted to give him a shoutout of appreciation for making our last night in town, our anniversary, special! Now the prime rib? Chef's kiss!! And we were surprised to enjoy a beautiful firework show on a Tuesday night. We thought they only occurred on fridays at the Hilton, but this was a nice treat, right on the beach in front of Dukes! Mahalo!
Drinks only! On my quest to find the best Mai Thais we had to stop at Dukes! We know Dukes from Malibu but decided to see how this one compared. What we found is that the drinks are pretty comparable: one thing that may be different is the use of fresh juices rather than can in Cali. Dukes Mai Thais tend to be light in alcohol so you go here more for the experience. As for ambiance: it's a big dark inside unless you grab a seat along the edge facing the water. The air is a bit stagnant. It gets warm inside. What we didn't like was the bar does not use a dishwasher. The staff were handwashing the glassware. The wash was so quick that it did not seem sanitary. This kinda gross me off. After seeing this I didn't want another drink! Cheers!
A classic Waikiki spot we always come back to! We always make a stop at Duke's when we visit Oahu. We love the laid-back atmosphere, especially on the bar side. We've had the famous buffet before, but most of the time we prefer to come in from the beach, grab a drink and some food, and just hang out. This time we sat outside and enjoyed a drink--I had the Duke's Blonde--and some fish tacos. The tacos were fresh and light, which was just what I needed after a beach day. The menu has a pretty good variety with appetizers, salads, handhelds, and more, so there's something for everyone. The service is always top notch, even though you seat yourself. They also have some specials throughout the week, including Taco Tuesdays and Prime Rib Buffet Thursdays. And there's live music every day! Of course, you can't leave without getting Kimo's Original Hula Pie! It's a must-have every time. It comes with its own special plate and utensil, and it's HUGE. Duke's is definitely a classic, but it's a classic for a reason.
Played tourist and it was well worth it!! Duke's is a great spot and always busy. With an amazing view and rumored mud pie to die for, it's hype definitely spreads and people return time and time again. This was not my 1st visit either. A great friend was in town and asked for delicious, non-fried fish, tacos preferably, and I thought - of course, someone visiting Waikiki for the 1st time, this would be a great option! Service was fantastic and we learned afterward that our person was in training. No way!! We ordered cocktails, beer, and shared the poke tacos, and the Cajun tacos. Amazing. We opted to skip dessert but did witness a couple near us going for it. . .down to the last drop.
One of the expensive and the worst commercial restaurant that have been to during my recent times everything over there is expensive. The service was terrible. They were very cold. They did not give us attention to the detail did not help us with the menu was very slow service not greeted well, and the prices are outstanding be high. I gave one star because of the ambulance. It's right in front of the beach. The food was really bad just because you were celebrating a birthday. We had some request, but none of the request for our followed.
Wait a minute, did you know that Duke's Waikiki has a lunch buffet?! I just found this out recently, from searching Instagram on Duke's, I've been at Duke's for the breakfast buffet, breakfast, lunch but not for the lunch buffet. I really enjoy the breakfast buffet, loved all the items they have available on the buffet line and I believe it was $27. such a great deal because one entree alone coast around this much, here you get a variety. Lets talk about the lunch buffet and my most recent visit playing tourist walking in to Waikiki to explore and have lunch. We got our table without a wait for reservation, they were pretty busy! Duke's is located at the Outrigger Hotel which is going through renovations. Sitting down and looking out the beach and the atmosphere sort of reminds me of Mama's Fish House on Maui, like County and City vibe. Our young waiter was so awesome, he share some info. about the buffet and I was being nosy and asked him, he loved and enjoys working in paradise . We got everything we needed for our buffet lunch and he did stop by to check on us to see if we needed anything else. The lunch buffet is $33. 10% discount for Kama'aina, use to be 20%. Really such a great deal, The buffet comes with the main entree rice, fried rice, kalbi, kalua pork/cabbage, teriyaki chiken and garlic shrimp. Salad station, fruits, corn chowder and even a poke bar, create your own poke bowl. Me & the hubby enjoyed our lunch, we were full on the first plate tried to squeeze in more foods. I wish I like poke so I can make a poke bowl too but I suggest to other half to get his share in for the poke but he only could go on the first round. hehe. Our lunch was great, everything on our plate was so tasty! For dessert, we must have the Hula Pie, ice cream cake with macadamia nuts- so GOOD and what a treat! Totally recommend, you really get your bangs for your bucks here if you consider and in the mood for the lunch buffet. I really got my local foods in.
Service was excellent and they have a great brunch buffet. They also have the best poke tacos I've ever had in my life. The front entrance throws you off as they have construction happening.
Duke's is worth stopping at for the atmosphere more than anything. We sat at the bar, had a Mai Tai, and listened to the live music, which made for such a fun Waikiki experience. Our bartender was incredibly friendly, and you could tell he genuinely loved his job and helping people have that classic aloha experience. That really made the visit feel special. The Mai Tai was amazing, and you really can't beat the setting. I'd absolutely come back for a drink, live music, and the vibe rather than making it a destination specifically for the food.
We were here with family on the evening before my Niece's Wedding. We weren't able to make a reservation, but the staff did everything they could to accommodate us. We were seated out on the Patio and although our group was big, we recieved the best service. The food was also very good. I had the Fish Tacos, which had really good flavor and the fish was flaky and juicy. The ambiance couldn't have been better for the occasion. There was a local artists playing live music and at Sunset, the tiki torches were lit. With the beach next to us, it made for a very special, unforgettable night. A special thank you to everyone who made this night so special for us. We also stayed for a while and we were never rushed out or forgotten. Duke's is absolutely a 5/5!!!!
Duke's is always our first stop when we're in Hawaii! The food is amazing, the views are beautiful, and the service is always top-notch. There's nothing better than enjoying a great meal with that gorgeous Waikiki view. We've been coming back because Duke's never disappoints. If you're visiting Hawaii, this is definitely a must-stop!
The restaurant's setup is a little weird to me. There are two different menus for two different dining areas, which are literally steps from each other. I wanted the menu items from one dining area but wanted to sit in the other area. Ugh! Anyway, we dined in the bar area and ordered ribs, fish tacos and calamari. The ribs were delicious! Fish tacos were OK! The calamari was an absolute no no! The service - A+- the staff was kind and friendly Location - A+ - beautiful views of Waikiki beach My favorite- Duke's blond beer - so freaking good!!! Wait time - B - we had to linger around about 10 minutes until someone left their table. Definitely recommend but beware of the calamari.
Everyone told us Duke's Waikiki is a must-try in Oahu, so we gave it a go! From our Hilton Hawaiian Village hotel it's a ~$15 taxi ride away. But since we ate a lot there we happily walked back. Food (4 stars) + The lunch buffet is $33 for adults and $17 for kids, which is a pretty fair deal given that my resort meal burgers were like $30! + Kimo's Original Hula Pie dessert is iconic--macadamia nut ice cream, fudge, and cookie crust--5 stars. It's sweet and some may say overly, but in the best way. + The shrimp (lightly fried) was a standout--crispy, flavorful, and easily 4 stars. + The poke station was fresh and fun, with a server adding toppings--4 stars for that too. They have the standard fishes of ahi, mahi and salmon. Was the server necessary? Probably not but I thought its a nice touch. ~ Chicken teriyaki was fine, though my daughter wasn't a fan--I'd say 3.5 stars. ~ The beef (I think it was boneless kalbi?) was flavorful but a bit tough--3.5 stars. Service/Ambiance (4.5 stars) + Our server was excellent--water always topped off, and staff was plentiful. + Tropical beach resort vibes all around, and ots really close to the beach which is very inviting. - A bit tricky to find due to construction and location inside a hotel, but I imagine that's temporary. Overall, a solid 4 stars. I might return for dinner someday, but for lunch, the buffet is definitely the way to go!
It was a busy day and came upon this place for a late night meal. We sat ourselves and it took a while for a staff member to bring us menus. Once greeted, I ordered the fish and chips. It was underwhelming but did the job since I hadn't eaten since earlier that morning. The fish was very dry. My husband ordered Dukes Nachos. He said they were really good. It was live music so it was really loud but cool atmosphere.

I am going to start with the good stuff.... Very pleasant and attentive staff, great location, beautiful sunny day, and the Hula Pie, which is delicious. The food was average, mostly burgers and tacos on the menu, with limited fresh seafood options. Tasty but small $20 drinks ouch! Duke's seems to be going the way of Chart House relying too much on their amazing locations and great ambiance. Need to focus a little more on the quality of the food. read more

Duke's it's always my go to spot. The food is fantastic here. We are going through a kitchen remodel so it's a little awkward, but they have a buffet for breakfast lunch and it's reasonable and you get all that you can eat Poke. Which is excellent. It's right on the beach too so you can't ask for anything better. read more
Always have a great experience at Duke's. We've eaten at the Duke's in Maui several times and have always enjoyed it. They serve a ton of people but they are always friendly and accommodating. Nice, casual setting. Krissie, our server, did a wonderful job as we had eight folks at our table. We had the calamari appetizer which was very good. I had the Huli Huli chicken which was good. I couldn't finish it as I had to save room for a Hula Pie! My wife had the prime rib and it was excellent. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were tasty. Oh, and the gift shop has clothes at a reasonable price compared to other clothing shops in Honolulu. AND THE HULA PIE!!!!!! read more
This is a must hit spot. They have an indoor menu and an outdoor menu. The indoor menu is more upscale likes steaks but the outdoor menu is like sandwiches and burgers. Bother options are good, they do have a wait for the outside usually but they have a section a little back from the water that is free game. I'd recommend this place as the food and views were good! read more
Duke's is a Waikiki must-go for any trip and there are many reviews to attest to that! Four stars for being a solid choice and my new review is for the back patio bar restaurant experience. I had gone recently and it had been over ten years since my last visit to Duke's. It still has that charm and allure I remember. The musical artists are really talented here on the back patio area and it seems music started up at 7pm shortly arriving. The menu is a more casual than the steak oriented menu of the main restaurant. I had the coconut shrimp basket which had some pretty tasty jumbo and flakey shrimp. The portion was decently sized, but the main attraction was the sunset view. It had a little spot where you could walk out to the beach, so that was a nice place to take the end of the sunset in after dinner. Nothing bad to say really, just a star discount for the wait area and the back patio for feeling a bit overcrowded. I'd recommend it to anyone to at least go once to Duke's, but make sure to make a reservation or stop by the hostess stand before 6pm on most days if you are looking to catch the sunset from here. read more

Great experience! If you're visiting Oahu, it's definitely worth it to try Duke's in Waikiki at least once! Food was delicious with BIG portions, so make sure you come hungry. The ambiance is fun and lively, but also a great place to chill. The best part is if you're lucky, you can sit next to live music! Service was quick, and staff are very friendly. Food prices are a bit higher here, but worth it for the experience, especially if you get seated on the beach. Definitely recommend making reservations because this place gets busy!! read more

First meal since landing and was definitely a great way to start our trip. The views are beautiful and our waitress was so kind. Though the buffet looked delicious, we decided to pick ala carte over the buffet. I ordered the chicken katsu blt and my bf ordered the burger. Both were so delicious and was even better when you pair it with ranch! We loved it so much we came back another time a few days later. We ordered the bento box, which came with miso yaki salmon and beef. Absolutely delicious too!! read more

Certainly lived up the the hype! Macadamia nut hummus was out of this world, as was the rest of the meal! A++ rating for the coconut shrimp, macadamia nut crusted FRESH fish, and can't forget about the hula pie!!! Before we got our table there was live music as the sun was setting and staff quickly got us a table after it ended. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun and delicious beachfront dinner in Waikiki! read more
Invited to Duke's Waikiki for their breakfast buffet and had a great experience. The service was quick, efficient, and friendly, which makes for a relaxing start to the day. The buffet was reasonably priced, and the beautiful views of Waikiki Beach made the meal even more enjoyable. Enjoy! read more

Delicious food!!!! With great views and outdoor sitting available. Live music and great vibes! Came here twice during my one week visit to Waikiki! Can't wait to come back. Service was great as well. read more
We went over to catch the sunset on the beach so we figured we grab a drink and a seat at the bar as it was only around 5:30 pm. No such luck as all the bar seats, at both bars, were taken. So, we went to the hostess stand and they had us seated near the buffet in around 10 minutes. It was hot and the table had no breeze so our server, John O, promptly let us move under the table next to us with a fan above. Much better. The place quickly filled up as we ordered and ate. We started with a 20 oz South Shore Stout ($14) and a Virgin Lava Flow ($10) that came highly recommended by John. The Stout was tasty and the Lava Flow was a bit sweet. We weren't expecting much from the food so we were pleasantly surprised. The baked fish for the day was swordfish one of my favorites. The swordfish ($39.50) was small in size but big in taste. But, for the price point was reasonable. We also had the Mac Nut Hummus Dinner ($18.50) whuch was also very good and reasonably priced. They have a $64 dinner buffet that we'll return to try, as it looked very good, when we are hungrier than we were on this visit. There was a young lady on the porch playing guitar and singing some great songs. Dukes is right on the beach, no onsite parking and is a bit hidden away so you'll need to be on the lookout. read more

Check this place out if you are in the area. The Mai Tai is a good starter while you take in the sandy beach area if you are sitting outside. We had the coconut shrimp to start with pickled veggies. A must try For entrees we had tacos and and a BBQ pork sandwich. Great bites for lunch. Service was attentive and friendly read more

Salad bar had a pretty big selection for $11, prime rib was delicious, rib appetizer was the BEST. The dessert was soooo good! The wait wasn't too bad, maybe 45 min for a party of 5. The restaurant was open to the beach which was cool. read more
Had an outstanding birthday dinner at Duke's Waikiki. It was filet mignon medium rare with a broiled lobster tail, mashed potatoes and a Chervil cream sauce. My family also had the vegetarian ravioli, and Keiki teriyaki chicken with rice. All dishes were outstanding and they provided a mud pie for my birthday dessert. Our server was patient, accommodating and refilled our drinks without being asked (that's my pet peeve, lol). We had to wait about an hour because we didn't have reservations. So we took a little stroll in Waikiki and did some window shopping while we waited. They also have a souvenir store at Duke's where they have cool t-shirts and other merch. There's plenty of seating and a bar and it has an old school nostalgia that beckons you from all the old photos on the wall. Very much a tiki lounge feel but with class. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal that was moderately priced but for Waikiki, probably on par. Overall, the best meal while we are in Oahu for the week. read more

Everyone's all like "you have to go to Duke's" but to be honest it is not authentic and it's super overpriced for very average food. I don't think you'll get an authentic Hawaii experience here, but the food is alright and service is good, at least. My favorite dish was the Korean Sticky Ribs appetizer, these had a lot of flavor. For our mains, my fiance ordered the Teriyaki Sirloin and I ordered the Fish Tacos. The Sirloin is such a tiny piece of meat, rip off. He swapped the side for fries, of which were actually very good! My fish tacos were average. Portion is good, but flavor is meh. Doesn't even come with guac, got to pay extra for that. The prices here are sky high while the flavor leaves much to be imagined. Chairs are super uncomfortable for dining. Portions are also questionable with certain dishes. Not sure I'd recommend it for a "first time in Hawaii". There's so many more tastier options out there that offer more authentic and unique dishes. read more
I loved this place. We came looking for it and followed the signs for the beach entrance. Don't do that LOL. It's easier to just enter through the front of the Outrigger Hotel. When you come through the beach, you have the option of dining at the bar, which seems to be a totally different experience. The bar serves burgers and other bar foods, and we wanted something a little less casual. After entering through the bar, we ended up having to go to the desk inside. They added my name and took down my phone number to text when the table is ready. This place is huge. There is indoor seating with lots of grass "skirt" trim around some of the ceiling and bars, and the upholstery of the dining chairs are different colorful aloha prints. On the deck there are think torches and umbrellas and string lights. On the level just a few steps down are more umbrella tables and some musicians playing Hawaiian music. All around are photos of the famous Olympic champion, surgery, and actor Duke Kahanamoku. Much to my surprise, as I was looking around while waiting for a table, a girl asked if I was Denise. They didn't text me; rather, they jot down a brief description so they can just look around and find you. She sat us on the beach deck. Our server was fantastic, so friendly with lots of explanations and recommendations. They use an ordering system and it's fun like a week liked machine. Hubby's beer was delivered to our table before our server even walked away! We both ordered the teriyaki sirloin steak with mashed potatoes. It. Was. Freaking. Delicious. I was full, but couldn't stop eating because it was so good. Dukes is really a place where you know you are in Hawaii--the decor, the food, the music, the friendly service. If you come to Honolulu and don't come to Duke's, you'll be missing out. read more
Ohhhh nice HPH employees with ID have 20% off . Thank goodness my son reads the information at work. Always wonderful lunch buffet. Awesome service. Salad and Fruit bar. Poke bar. Daily soup. Fried rice, white rice, Okinawan potato with haupia sauce, kalbi, teriyaki chicken, Kalua pork & cabbage, shrimp.... So many choices. You may order ala cart as well. The deserts are separate... the mud pie is over the top yummy. Huge piece. Shareable Casual attire - along the beach.... read more

We came in for happy hour, but were told it's no longer offered. The drinks were on the pricier side for what they were, especially considering the quality. That said, the view of the sand and water was beautiful and definitely helped offset the cost a bit. Our server was friendly, but the menu was very limited. Out of a group of six, we quickly realized there wasn't much that interested us, so we ended up having just a couple of drinks and then going elsewhere to eat. Overall, it's a nice spot for the view, but not really worth it if you're looking for good value or a full dining experience. read more

Came for our 20th wedding anniversary to Waikiki and for our family vacation coming from LA and decided to eat at Duke's Waikiki. We went on a Sat and as we checked in, we were informed by the ladies at the front desk checking us in we can reserve both formal dining or patio seating to see which one comes first. We got called in for both at the same time and we asked to be seated at the patio and was greeted by a young fellow with an attitude informing us that we could not reserve both at the same time!?! We were seated right next to the band playing this evening and asked if we can move so that we can at least enjoy our families conversation and the floor manager told us there was not a spot and we couldn't wait for another table to be relocated, but the patio lady who was checking people in was at least kind enough to see if she can help if one opens up, but it was busy and we understood. Long story short it wasn't a good start of our celebration but the food was good, ordered the fish and chips, nachos, and fish salad that everyone enjoyed. I was hoping for something else special to top off the evening while at Duke's Waikiki but with all that happened we were ready to go. Wish the young gents had better attitude and floor lady manager and we were greeted at least for our celebration after dinner... but with a busy popular restaurant, you gotta make the best of it. read more
One of the more touristy spots I hit on my visit but the food did not disappoint. Beach views and such a lively atmosphere. Quintessential beach vibes and our server (I didnt catch her name) was awesome. Ahi Poke Tacos: 10/10 The wonton shell was perfectly crisp and held everything together really well with each bite. Heaping amount of fish and the sauce and guac was immaculate. Short Rib Special: 8/10 Off menu but the meat was super tender and flavourful. The sauce/gravy it came with was inc r edible and paired really well. Mango BBQ Pork Ribs: 8/10 Super flavourful and tender as well. read more
