Duke's Huntington BeachEat At Duke's! It is the Best!We enjoyed the food, the service and the ambience of Duke's Huntington Beach.
The calamari appetizer was delectable. The ono and halibut delish. And of course the
huge piece of ice cream pie we shared finished off the evening on a sweet note.
Having a view of the ocean sunset was an added bonus!!5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMPleasant SurpriseParty of four. One of our party had been to Duke's in Hawaii, and the rest of us were not familiar with the restaurant. We were looking for a pleasant place to meet visiting family. When made the reservation I was not aware that I was reserving a table for Brunch. We briefly considered moving to the bar area for a simpler lunch menu, but opted to go with the brunch. We were not disappointed, but on the contrary very pleasantly surprised.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a great waiter...Britt.We had a great waiter...Britt. Overall very nice experience5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat BrunchDuke's is now our "go to spot" for brunch, fresh food, incredible views, I love the fact that they keep the price lower, and don't include Champagne, we don't drink and it's nice to not have to pay for it! Very attentive service, the employees seem to take pride in their Jobs and their workplace, and it shows, The Ahi Poke is wonderful, the coconut french toast rocks!5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMcelebration with a sunset viewDinner was delicious,fresh fish & steak were well prepared! The sunset view from our table was beautiful!
Service was attentive and pleasant! We topped off our dinner with Duke's most excellent Hula pie for dessert. We enjoyed our dinner and will be back!5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMDuke'sNot for those looking for quantity, but for quality! You come to have a party on your pallet. Pricey, but worth every penny, baby. If you're going on a date, expect to spend around $85-90 with tip and valet.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMFront row seat to the Pacific OceanGreat front row seat to the Pacific Ocean. Came here for lunch on a Tuesday in May 2013. Food is good with competitive prices. (Didn't feel like I was being gouged for a restaurant on one of the most popular beaches in the world.) Service was good, prompt, and friendly. Aloha atmosphere. Not noisey. Restaurant was not overly crowded. Parking just steps away from the restaurant. Parking machines take credit/debit (currently at $1.50/hour) or pay by quarters $0.25/15minutes). Plenty of parking. With the restaurant right at the pier, it's easy to go for a stroll and catch the beach action before or after dining. Looking forward to returning to enjoy the Barefoot Bar. Request an ocean view table when you book for party of 4 or less. Mahalo!5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day at Duke'sJust want to thank Duke's Restaurant HB for doing such an overall great job on Mother's Day. From food to service, everything was perfect!!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMSunday BrunchWe came for the Sunday Brunch on Mothers Day and it was phenomonal. The food was amazing and the staff were friendly and attentive.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good brunch at a GREAT priceMade a reservation for Mothers day for 1115. Only negative about the whole experiance was the wait for valet parking. I knew downtown HB was going to be crowded. I made sure we arrived ten minutes early. I had the group get out, I got there at 1120.
The food:
The omelette station was quick, ingredients were fresh.
The breakfast area had just enough food to ensure quality and never being out.
Service:
Our waiter was busy, (it was mother's day) but made sure we had enough water &/or OJ for everyone at the table.
View:
we had a table just in the main dining room, over looking the beach. Very nice view of the surf.
Price:
not sure you could have found a better price for brunch.
We will be going back.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful waiter and foodOur waiter was helpful and attentive. The food could not have been prepared any better. I can't remember a dinner where all three of my kids were completely satisfied. We had a great time.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWe love Duke'sThis is our Go-To restaurant for special occasions.

EVERYONE enjoyed the atmosphere and raved about the food, especially the Hula Pie for dessert!
Kudos to Dukes for a great meal and evening!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMTable locationThis is my 5th time at Dukes, 1st time booking on line, the food has always been excellent & the table locations looking out onto the beach if available are perfect.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMDukes is probably the bestDukes is probably the best ocean view restaurant in the OC5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat DinnerOther than a mess up with our reservation (ironic) we had a great experience. The food was greasy and delicious and our server Chuck was fantastic.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMVery WelcomingTook my sweet mama to lunch when she came to HB for a visit. They made her & I feel quite special. Delicious fish taco's !5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was great and theThe food was great and the service was outstanding. My only small conplaint was the noise level was pretty high. I would definetely go again very enjoyable.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMTable of 9My only other Duke's experience was in Honolulu, where I thoroughly enjoyed it - but the vibe was much more casual there. After valet parking our cars, our two families sat in the middle of the dining room with a beautiful ocean view (as I believe all tables have ocean view). The food was fantastic and the prices were surprisingly inexpensive considering how this Duke's seemed less casual than the one in Hawaii I had been to! They had kids meal options and play mats to entertain the 5 kids! Of course all Duke's dinners must end with Hula Pie!!! What a great time - we'll be back next time on the PCH!5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMCould not ask for a more wonderfulCould not ask for a more wonderful family celebration.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMAn absolute must if in the area!!!What a find. We dine out often and this restaurant is outstanding. The food is off the charts. On this night we took a group of 7 high school aged young men and women to dine as a special treat since they were involved in a competition for a few days in Anaheim. I don't think I have ever seen plates of food cleaned off so well. Everyone including myself was so impressed. Out waiter was also fabulous considering there were 7 kids with 2 adults. The views are to die for. Please drive to this restaurant to take a break from the routine that is Disney. Finish with the Hula pie. Also check out their website.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMRecommended by a customerRecommended by a customer who lived in Huntington for a few years and everyone loved the ambiance as well as the food. Would go back without any question.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything was wonderful. TheEverything was wonderful.

The view of ocean/beach is perfect!4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMMy New Favorite Beach BrunchI wasn't overly optomistic. I was expecting your average overpriced frenetic brunch with average fare. I was pleasantly surprised with a really great and delicious buffet with the foods you expect on the buffet with a clever twist. The abundance of food was definitely not compromised by the quality of the food. The tuna tartar was worth rushing back for. In fact, I can't stop thinking about it! The service was friendly but not in the way and I am looking forward to our next brunch visit!4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a guest visiting fromWe had a guest visiting from out of town and it was the perfect place to go to dinner. The restaurant is situated right off the beach and give you great views of the pier and sunsets. The bread was piping hot and delicious and the fish was excellent! Our server was very attentive and efficient. We will definitely be back!4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMWent for my Father's birthday.Went for my Father's birthday. We had reservations but had a change of number of people. They were very accommodating and within 10 minutes were seated. To our surprise, we were given window seats overlooking the beach and the pier. The waitress was ver friendly and always helpful. The Sunday brunch had so much to offer. Most of the food was fantastic, with a few exceptionsthat weren't.

The portions were perfect...not too much so we were able to enjoy all of our courses without ruining the rest. We ate all of everything except for the dessert.

Very pleased with our experience.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful Location, Food, ServiceDuke's was great. I have been here before and this time I had special guests from the Midwest celebrating a special occasion. The restaurant went out of their way to provide everything requested including a special table. Our two guests were suitably impressed. The persons welcoming you to the restaurant were all wonderfully cheerful; the wait staff were fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly throughout the meal. It was perfect.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect dinner.What can I say? Had a table with water view for beautiful sunset, service was impeccable and the food was outstanding.

They were wonderful in helping my son celebrate his birthday. Just perfect.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding!! What struckOutstanding!! What struck me first, was that EVERY employee seem to truly enjoy working at Dukes, and each and every one went over and beyond to see that we had a memorable experience. The two who stood out over and above the rest were Jason(mgr)and Emily (our server). This is not a knock on the others. It's just that both Jason and Emily provided a lever of service and care that you just don't see much anymore4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMOur out-of-town nice dinner spotThis our regular visit once, sometimes twice a year when visiting from San Jose. Has always been great for us.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMShawnee, spelling?, was ourShawnee, spelling?, was our waitress, and she was friendly, humorous, and patient. the restaurant reminded me of the time I went to one of the top hotel restaurants on Oahu. I took my daughter for her fourteenth birthday and we had a very special time. The food was good and my Mai Tai was fantastic. We ordered calamari as an appetizer. My son and wife had Maui and they enjoyed it. My daughter had the chicken and it was great. I ordered the ribs. They were tender and moist. If I had one minor complaint, my food was warm, not hot.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMOUTSTANDING FOOD & SERVICE!!!This was our first visit to Duke's. We enjoyed everything. The food, service, and overall experience was outstanding!!! We will definitely be back to visit!!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMFood is always good at Dukes.Food is always good at Dukes.

One of very few restaurants on the ocean side of the highway. Great sunset views. Food was very fresh and great tasting, service was exemplary.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMSunday, brunch only?Our disappointment was on at noon on Sunday only the brunch was offered. We were able to order from the menu in the bar but the menu was abbreviated and portions were smaller than normal. there were no rolls offered with the meals. the food was up to Dukes standards and service was good, but the menu and portions left us disappointed. We have been Duke's customers for a long time, but we will not try Sunday lunch again.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMYou should not be disappointedWe have gone to Duke's many times and love their sister restaurants like Kimo's on Maui. I always feel about Duke's that it is a bit higher priced than justified (except your right downtown just off the famous pier). This time out we all cleaned our plates and had a great time. The service was the best of any recent visit. If you just a visitor or a local with a special occasion you should not be disappointed by Duke's.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMLove Duke's. Always a greatLove Duke's. Always a great place to go and the brunch is a good value for the money.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMThe dining experience wasThe dining experience was very good.
