Sublime Honolulu

Straight from the beach to Duke's for lunch! This place is an absolute institution, so expect it to be busy and be ready to hunt for a table. We sat at the big bar, which had an amazing energy and let us watch the cocktails being crafted.The cocktails were fantastic and served in really cool glassware. We ordered the nachos to share first, planning on tacos next, but the nachos were so incredible we never made it to round two. Seriously, 10/10—the best, most authentic, and flavour-packed nachos we've ever tasted. Don't miss this spot!

Absolutely AMAZING everything. The food was delicious, the young men that were hosts and waiters were so respectful and engaging and kind. It was our first place to eat since arriving to Honolulu and we were so impressed. The crab ragoons were delicious! 10/10 recommend. We came from VT for our honeymoon, what a beautiful location facing the water, plenty of seating and very good service even with every table in the entire restaraunt being filled. They have a great flow and amazing moral.

We LOVED Dukes!!!! Totally understand why there’s queues everyday. An absolute vibe & very lively inside. It’s also facing the ocean. More importantly the food was yummy. Loved the fish it was so juicy. Same with the chicken - well portioned too. Can’t say no to the hula pie heheee, btw it’s huge. We actually did a walk in & was told that it would be approx an hour but got our table around 30-40 mins

Duke’s Waikiki was one of our favorite dining experiences of the trip! The food was absolutely outstanding. The lobster was the best we had during our entire vacation—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We also loved the catch of the day and the teriyaki steak, both of which were delicious and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was very tropical feeling, and the service was good. Between the location and amazing food options, it’s easy to see why Duke’s is such a popular spot. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Oahu, Hawaii!

Beachside Casual Dining - Duke's lower deck offers the perfect casual escape right off the sands of Waikiki. This spot is defined by its prime outside seating, making it a favorite for a late lunch where you can catch the golden hour with partial sunset views. Skip the long wait for the main restaurant and enjoy the lively atmosphere, complete with live music. The menu is perfect for a beach break, offering everything from fresh poke tacos and grilled fish salads to pulled pork sandwiches and a variety of cocktails. Grab a drink, a great bite to eat, and then get right back to the ocean! Visited a few times during our stay. Access from the beach or through the Outrigger just past the main restaurant hostess stand. Bar seating is also available by the restaurant.
