Debra DiamentAugust 15, 2013Sit down service at the bar area is cheaper..we had the ahii wrap and opah fish (fish if the day) both great. We liked opah best , our friend had fire grilled steak with wedge salad he loved it. A+
Jani HowardJuly 23, 2016The food was great, and our waiter was the best. It was my husband and my 30th anniversary, so we got the hula pie as a gift. It fed my family of six perfectly.
Mike A.November 26, 2011The Mango BBQ Baby Back Ribs are amazing! The meat is so tender it literally falls off the bone. A must try for rib lovers! Definitely leave room for the Hula Pie... It's big enough for two!
Gregg AndersonDecember 7, 2018If you can get a table on the floor level, try to get one near the sidewalk. The beach/small bay view is excellent. The service and food is great, too!
Peter BarbounisDecember 20, 2021Duke's locations can be found thru out the Hawaiian Islands. This location is the best one including the one in Waikiki.Check out the daily specials before you head over & reservations are recommended
PaddyFebruary 29, 2016Excellent seafood right on the beach on the grounds of the Marriott. Mac-nut crusted Ahi is so good and available at the barefoot bar for almost half the price as the restaurant.
Sofiene BelkhiriaMay 22, 2015Amazing salad bar which is included in the meal price and succulent ribs! Staff is friendly and the view on the romantic bay is charming.- Mandy DixonJanuary 9, 2013Must try: Hula Pie! Also, the salad bar is amazing. For an app, the crab and toasted macadamia nut wontons can't be beat! From the Barefoot Bar menu, try the fish tacos!
Creighton GreenMay 16, 2017Macadamia Nut and Crab Crusted catch if the day. So good! My wife ordered the ribs and loved them.
Peggy TempletonJuly 24, 2022Famous Hawaiian surfer, Duke. Breath taking view of the surfer beach, ocean and mountains. Inside waterfall and pond!
Zoe CareyJanuary 23, 2019Great view of the beach - right on the water, but the food is incredibly average, and the salad bar is really uninteresting. Friendly servers though.
Sejika JessicaDecember 27, 2011During happy hour, ask for table 51, it's cool, away from others, and has a great view! (it's the one in the middle of the staircase.)

Dustin SimpsonDecember 8, 2011I always love this place, but today was super service! Our 3yo son was cranky from the long plane ride. Our server went out of her way to make him feel special.
whammerkidJuly 2, 2011Awh... Dukes... Same as Waikiki... You are ruining a great oregon pinot! Please keep the benton lane in the fridge or something! It is far too fragile a grape to keep our in the heat!
Jackie DFebruary 13, 2013Kimchi, on the salad bar. Unlimited kimchi. I've died and gone to kimchi heaven. (The food was good too ).
Brian ChapmanMay 30, 2016Dukes Nachos with Pork. The jalapeños make it too notch. Not for the novice jalapeño lover.
Heather RJuly 1, 2011If you like Mushrooms try the grilled portobello mushroom sandwich & make sure to save room for desert & get the hula pie!
Alicia LeeDecember 1, 2013Love the hula pie! You can now make a reservation, which I highly suggest.
Desi PhillipsFebruary 1, 2015Prime Rib with their Garlic Mashed potatoes and salad bar can't go wrong
Simon YiSeptember 22, 2016The calamari is so fat that it looks like mozzarella sticks. It will change your outlook on life.
Sarianne CormierJanuary 15, 2017Super surprise! Ribs coréens savoureux, relevés. Riff Pinot Grigio correct.
Matt TreasureAugust 18, 2013Good food. For dinner, make a reservation at least a few hours in advance. This place gets pretty bust.
Will KivinskiSeptember 17, 2013I like the Fire Rock Pale Ale they've got on tap at the downstairs bar.
TomOctober 17, 2011hula pie was great, rice pilaf was great too accompanying the steak nadine. very good fare.
Nick HernandezAugust 3, 2010Lots of people with bad experiences on the tips, but I had a great time. Good food, good service, don't come with more than 2 or 3 people though the wait for big parties can be long
Laura Fingal-SurmaApril 7, 2013The salad bar was the surprise hit. Get the papaya dressing. I don't even like salad very much.
Katherine WalkerDecember 8, 2013Try to sit outside if you can with a view of the water - tis a gentle bay
John BOctober 30, 2011Great restaurant ... Disregard bad reviews. Good quality food served simply in a gorgeous setting.
Order Duke's blonde ale-delicious! Great staff, great locals.
Josh ThatcherJune 11, 2011Ignore the haters...this was my favorite place on the island! Fish and chips FTW + hula pie = #winning
Dolly Yee-NishioJanuary 18, 2012Great mango baby back ribs & spinach salad. Awesome service! Hilo pie enough for 5... So huge!
Kahuna MatataNovember 26, 2012Try the Huli Huli Chicken - with Garlic Mash & green beans @DukesKauai!!

"The hippie burger was good, the fries were cold. The waitress was friendly, the waitstaff weren't. One gal even put her fingers inside my cup and took it before asking if I was done with it."
