    1) Make a reservation 2) Try the Mai Tais 3) Don't overdo it on the salad bar 4) Order the macadamia crusted fresh fish or Huli Huli Chicken 5) Leave satisfied. Extra credit - save room for dessert!

    #1 Hawaiian place in Waikiki... best views of the surfers, Diamondhead.. the Beverly HIlls section of the beach.. where you rent your surfboards and take canoe ride.. this is Hawaiian culture.

    The Korean steak tacos are spicy and very tasty! We shared the tacos based on our experience with American portion size and we've done well. Otherwise we couldn't have eaten this huge delicious pie!

    Recommended meal: Huli Huli Chicken Summer Rolls as an app, Prime Top Sirloin (w/ caramelized Maui onion demi glacé) for dinner, & end it w/ Kimo's Original Hula Pie (Mac nut ice cream, Oreo crust)

    Fantastic. I tried coconut shrimp, crab pies, hula hula pie, hubs cocktail. Beautiful place on Waikiki. Maybe for some touristic but lovely food and ambience.

    Duke's has the best dinner menu in Waikiki, both in terms of flavor and price. Add a lobster tail to your meal. At $20, it's affordable, delicious, and HUGE (for Waikiki, that is)!

    Great view of the ocean! Walked in and got a seat at the wooden round tables at the bar with no wait (Monday at noon). Duke’s Mai Tai’s pictured. Server was really nice.

    Delicious. Fantastic, fresh fish with macadamia/panko crust was incredible - we had the opa and the mahi mahi. Great salad bar and dessert as well! Definitely make a reservation.

    This is the 2nd time we dine here in a period of 5 days. That good. We absolutely loved the Sautéed Mac Nut & Herb — Opah fish 🙌🏼

    It has been always our first and last stop in Waikiki! Look at the picture and start salivating because it is as good as it looks! Poke as good as always!

    The Duke's right on Waikiki Beach is a true institution. Great atmosphere, delicious food and tasty cocktails. A place where you should plan a stop during your O'ahu stay.

    The breakfast buffet is a good value. Make sure to get the banana pancakes, Portuguese sausage, and huge selection of fruit. Great view of Waikiki

    OMG had the most awesome service. The mango ribs and hot wings were fantastic. Had the Hawaiian itch, Mai tai, and two lava flows😊. Yes I had a good time. Please go and enjoy.

    Great atmosphere and right on the beach. My favorite believe it or not, are the Dukes Hot Wings! They are phenomenal. Amazing and again it’s Dukes! So what’s not to love!?

    The Sautéed Mac Nut and Herb Crusted is amazing. Be careful with the salad bar because they have so many great choices and more than just salad. The cocktails are great too.

    Place has an excellent view of the beach and the food is good. But this place is not worth the wait when there are several other places in walking distance.

    There are 2 sides to this restaurant, casual and dining. The dining side is quite pricey at around $23-$35 for an entree. They do come with the awesome salad bar though. Will try casual side next.

    Mai tai was great! Our server recommended the Hawaiian iced tea (thing tropical Long Island) and it was so refreshing. The steak tacos were excellent

    Mai Tai's and fish taco's were awesome! Highly recommend getting a round table seat in the open air area overlooking Waikiki beach.

    Try the ahi poke or the ahi with papaya mustard. Mai tais and your night will become a great night for sure.

    One of the few remaining old places that hasn't been replaced with something like the Cheesecake Factory. Good food, great setting, super busy.

    Unless you get a table near the window or at the barefoot bar, it's just a normal place to eat with some delicious but pricy food. The crab macadamia nut wontons are fantastic!

    Great Mai Tais and Hula Pie. NOTE: Taco Tuesday is only in the bar, not the restaurant- apparently they operate out of separate kitchens

    Very good food. I had the Kona Coffee rubbed steak which was very good, but my daughter got the mango ribs and they were even better than the steak. All the food and drinks were very good.

    Quite possibly the best marinated fish tacos I’ve ever had...beach front setting ain’t too shabby either

    If its too busy to get a reservation, add your name to the walk-in list at the podium an hour before you really want to eat. They'll give you a time to come back,usually within the hour!

    Great drink selection and great service. It's oceanside, but expect to pay for this. It's also very crowded and hard to find seats.

    Usually a wait but a nice lively beachside bar/restaurant. If you can snag a table on the patio, post up there allllll day long.

    Great spot to sit, relax & have a cold one. Really chill night scene with live music. Literally steps from the beach & water. Kind of pricey tho. $8 an hour to valet. Unreal

    For dinner, skip the actual restaurant and go to the Oceanside bar. The Lava Flow and nachos are amazing, and the staff is really attentive and personable!

    Put your name on the waiting list to eat outside on the beach, then sit in the open seating area inside while you wait.

    The beach bar at its finest, the location is absolutely unparalleled. If that isn't enough - and really, that is enough - the seafood is delicious and always fresh. © 2013 BuzzFeed, Inc

    The wait for the big restaurant was an hour; we gambled and went to the back patio where we waited even longer 😂 The mango BBQ burger was worth the wait though!
