We checked out Duke's on their website before venturing up there for my boyfriend's birthday, and was surprised to find that is was a HUGE operation with the decor of a cruise ship, which was not the impression! Luckily we stayed as we liked the menu, and sat outside under some heaters to enjoy the sea view. Our waitress was... more

Loved this place!! One of the best burgers I've had, and my wife's chicken was amazing! We also got their famous "HULU" pie and it was not only great but huge. Of course you can't beat the views from here more

Malibu is lined up with good restaurants. It's hard to decide where to go. We want something romantic but affordable, so we picked Duke's based on tripadvisor's reviews. First impression is great. Parking is only valet for $4.00, not bad. Staff were attentive and did an excellent job. Most of the tables are ocean front views, impressive and romantic. There's... more

So it's in a lovely setting. Who cares? The "famous" weekend buffet consists of tired platefulls of calorie laden junk, scoffed mostly by fat people in Hawaiian shirts. The rest of the menu is full of dull burger and comfort food, barely better than you'd get in your local Chilli's - yet five times the price. As for the service...... more

On our way back thru Malibu, we stopped at Duke's for a pina colada and some nachos (yes we're from Texas). The dining area was closed for lunch by 2pm, so we had to sit in the bar area. I am sure that the dining room would have have a better place to sit, but that option wasn't available. Food... more

I've been to Dukes many times, as it used to be the prime spot to celebrate Mother's/Father's Day for the Sunday brunch, but then I discovered happy hour. I agree with most reviews that it's a bit pricey, but the atmosphere is great, the food is decent and really not terribly priced, especially for Malibu ON THE BEACH, and there... more

It's rare we go to a restaurant and dislike everything from the wine to the dessert, but this was one of those occasions. Vacationing in Malibu and wanted somewhere on the beach for dinner. It does have a nice view of the ocean. But food was average and the service was also average. Would not go back. more

Superb!

For special occasions, Dukes has awesome upscale beach type atmosphere literally sitting on the edge of the water. We watched dolphins swimming. The food and service were excellent and I can’t wait to go back. We both had the crab appetizer and the fresh fish was halibut. more

The biggest things Dukes has going for it is a HUGE parking lot for easy parking and a view of the ocean from most tables. Other than that there's not much to recommend this place - I thought I would give it a shot as my stand by in Malibu, The Reel Inn, was closed because they were shooting a... more
