We ordered the teriyaki sirloin and coconut shrimp special plate. It was served with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were cooler than room temperature. The steak had good taste, but mine was very tough and fatty.

Always an island favorite! We dined on a Thursday night. It was busy, as usual. It took a VERY long time to get our entrees. Our waiter was very nice, but offered no explanation. A little disappointed.

My husband and I have both eaten at Dukes many times and have enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. We both had the prime rib last night and it was extremely fatty and tough. Very disappointing.

The food wad good just slow on getting food. We had an entree and a salad bar. We got our salad then waited too long for our entree to show up in fact so long that I didn't get to eat it because my stomach told my brain I was full so total loss of appetite.
