This Duke's is my favorite Duke's because of the bar area being airy and bright right on Commencement Bay. Wanting lighter fare and not having been here before, we were pleased with our table by the window along with the variety and prices of the Happy Hour menu. Wild Mexican Pacific Coconut Prawns with a sweet dipping sauce were the... More

We were pleasantly surprised at our impromptu visit to Duke's. The service was perfect. We were treated like humans with children instead of a nuisance in most nicer restaurants. The chowder was great--I had only the "canned stuff" to compare it to. I would definitely order it again. The fish for the kids was excellent- it was more flavorful than... More

I've eaten at Duke's in Tacoma several times, always expecting it to be a bit better than it turns out to be. Food is good, reasonably consistent, but not quite to that "next level" that one always hopes for when they have a meal. Nice place for casual dining, probably appeals to a wide audience, at reasonable prices. One of... More

Made reservations for 4 of us for lunch. The wait staff was excellent and very helpful on the extensive menu. We started with the crab cake appetizer and split it between us. It was yummy!

We had a lovely table by the window with a fantastic view of the water and mountains. I had the eggs beneduke which was with crab-absolutely... More

My husband and I went there today for Easter. This was our first visit. Not sure we will return.I had the Seafood quiche which was dry and over cooked..My blueberry scone was over baked and dry. The clam chowder was tasty but not very hot. The coleslaw needed much more mayo. But on a positive note, the fish and chips... More

Food is good, service is prompt and courteous, and the Bloody Mary is fantastic! Prices are a bit high, but to be expected for fresh seafood. Try the red chowder (ciappino) and the crabby patty for taste and value.

we had chowder and the fish and chips. they have 5 or 6 different kinds of chowder, we had the lobster chowder, and it was excellent, very tasty. th fish was breaded w/panko and was very crispy, the fries were home fries, and was crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. our server was very helpful, and very...
