Wait staff was kind. Our kids have good allergies, and they were very considerate and knowledgeable about it. Food was great!

We have been coming to Dukes for 35 years but… The menu is now a total of two pages & the salad bar selection has decreased. The muffins that we all over now seem mediocre. I My husband’s steak was over cooked so by the time he got his food we were almost finished eating our dinner. Ribs & chicken had good flavor but the ribs were dry in texture. I ordered the salad bar as my entree but at $25 would suggest ordering a burger and adding a salad I saw a lot of burgers being ordered. I think things have greatly changed since Covid and have not gotten any better For the price I suggest going some where else We don’t foresee a return visit this trip.

Ordered the prime rib and it was too chewy. Toughest prime rib I’ve had in awhile. Salad bar was worth the extra $7 with a meal.

We’ve eaten at Duke several times. It did seem as classy as it has been in the past. The classy crispness was not there. Otherwise though it was great!

Food was dry and very slow. Salad bar was a mess. Alcoholic drinks were watered down and not worth the money.

The service was excellent. The ambience/surrounding was great. The menu is very limited, and the salad bar was not filled at all. Would not return.

Dukes has a fabulous location right on Kalapaki Beach. It relies on that beautiful location than serving outstanding food. It was good but not over the top. Worth going to for the view.
