Duke's Beach House Maui Lahaina Reviews from The Last Year
Duke's Beach House in Kaanapali is a definite step up from
Duke's Beach House in Kaanapali is a definite step up from its counterpart in Huntington Beach, offering an experience that surpasses it in every way. While the service may be slow, similar to the one in Huntington Beach, the overall dining experience is still worth it. We always make it a point to have dinner here on our first night in Maui, using it as a way to combat jetlag with some delicious food. Given its popularity, I always make reservations as soon as I book our Maui trips to ensure we get a table. As for the food, we've sampled quite a few items on the menu. The pu-pu's, particularly the Calamari, are nothing exceptional, but the Ahi Poke Tacos are a different story altogether. Bursting with flavor, they are truly amazing, and I've often found myself tempted to order two servings instead of opting for a main course. Among the mains, the Seafood Risotto stands out for its rich flavors and generous portions of fish, scallops, and a small half lobster tail, all smothered in a creamy sauce. The Macadamia nut-crusted fish is consistently delicious, offering a delightful crunch with each bite. The braised pork shank is another highlight, boasting melt-in-your-mouth tenderness and rich flavor. However, not every dish hits the mark. The chicken and ribs dish is merely okay, with the chicken tasting dry and overly salty. Nonetheless, the ribs redeem the dish with their great tangy, spicy, and sweet mango sauce. Despite the occasional miss and the slow service, Duke's Beach House in Kaanapali remains a favorite dining spot for us. Its picturesque location and diverse menu offerings continue to draw us in, ensuring that we'll be back for more on future visits to Maui.
Great food, service and atmosphere.
So welcoming despite all the area has been through.
It was our first time at Duke's and it was amazing.
Our server was amazing and the service was just 10/10! The view was breath taking! The food was sooo good, very bite was good as the last one! Haha.
Delicious! Beautiful beach side restaurant.
Sam was our server and he was awesome! Highly recommend!
We ate here a couple of times during our recent trip since
We ate here a couple of times during our recent trip since we were staying at Honua Kai (located in the resort by the beach) For dinner, I would recommend making a reservation since they are generally busy most nights, and if it's rainy/windy apparently walk-ins can only be on the outdoor patio. Very kid friendly as they give kid's a little coloring booklet that has various activities, including a fun little bingo game that they can get a sticker for. (albeit a boring Duke's sticker) Service was consistently good. Appetizers: Macadamia Nut Hummus- this was such a delicious dip that we got it both times we came here for dinner, and I'm usually one to want to try a different dish each time. Salad: Rocket salad- fairly standard, good amount of fresh beets. Entrees: Mac Nut and Herb Crusted Fish was as good as it sounds. Highly recommend over the other entrees we tried: Fish Tacos: Tortilla seemed stale, the fish cubes were tough Banana Leaf Steamed Fish and Shrimp: seemed super interesting, but I'd say other than being on top of a banana leaf, I didn't think the fish and shrimp had any particular flavor from the banana leaf, but it was otherwise good. I did love the coconut lychee rice side though. Overall, we enjoyed all of our meals at Dukes!
Best mai tai on our mai tai tour! So balanced and not too
Best mai tai on our mai tai tour! So balanced and not too sweet. Love it and our waitress was so so nice. Thank you Diana!!
This is an iconic place.
The history behind Duke Kahanamoku, Hawaiian Swimmer is the backdrop to this restaurant. It's a family and casual place. Be prepared to see people dressed up as well as directly from the beach. The variety of food is plenty to keep everyone in the party interested. Some appetizers, like the Poke Tacos, can serve as a meal depending on your level of hunger. Our service was amazing. Emily was attentive, offered suggestions and was on top of everything.
Good food and drinks! Only four stars because it's priced
Good food and drinks! Only four stars because it's priced for tourists. Given the price point, the food would need to be pretty amazing. That being said, everything was delicious, so if you're looking for a good meal while enjoying a fantastic view, then this is the place for you.
dukes is great food, great drinks, great service.
PUPU- Calamari & Poke Tacos Bussin bussin Deserrt- HULA PIE is a must!
Went to lunch 4/3/24 the food was good the service was good.
But there is an issue I checked in for our reservation I asked for directions to the men's room and was told to go around the building to the second Cabana I thought this sounded odd. So I went to wash my hands and there was no paper towels this was at 12:30 PM I walked out of the Cabana which was attached to the restaurant, which upset me that the young lady receptionist would not let me a customer walk through the restaurant I mentioned the paper towel issue to her as well as my displeasure of not being allowed to walk through the restaurant. Then at 1:00 PM I overheard another guest telling his waiter that there were no paper towels in the men's restroom. I wonder what other issues happen in the kitchen that are overlooked?
Great for all times of day!
My family stayed at a property right next to Duke's, so we enjoyed food from there for breakfast, lunch, poolside, and dinner! The breakfast was great and we enjoyed watching whales in the distance as we ate. The live music is great and varied in style. Our sunset dinner was wonderful (be sure to make a reservation!). We also really appreciated the excellent server staff. They were helpful with food suggestions, and even helped us out with offering us some off menu items for dinner because there weren't the same range of vegetarian options that were on the lunch menu. Servers also very gently checked in about what our plans were and offered ideas of activities we might enjoy as a family. It felt genuine and not like it was part of some sort of scripted expectation for them. Overall, it is a friendly environment, really beautiful setting, and relaxed.
Best dinner of our vacation!
Best dinner of our vacation! Mostly because of our server, Amy, who made everything special from the minute we sat down until the minute we left! A server really does make your experience and she was amazing. She recommended the feature fish dishes and didn’t steer us wrong - all of them were SO fresh and SO good - from macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi to Ahi tuna to fresh Ono, you can’t go wrong! And the hula pie for my birthday was a hit and our kids couldn’t have eaten faster if they tried. Beautiful setting on the beach and I know why it gets rated so high. Definitely worth it! Put it at the top of your list.
Go somewhere else
Overrated. My salad (and my sister in laws) came without dressing. They forgot. The filet was decent. Not a ton of flavor. The server okay. Chicken crispers for the kids? Dry and over cooked. Avoid this place. Lives off old reputation.
Food temperature not appropriate
PLEASE serve your food hot, not lukewarm....had a couple of late breakfasts & late lunches here & it didn't matter which meal --- NOTHING was ever served hot. I really was hoping we wouldn't get food poisoning from the temperatures of our food.
The perfect Hawaiian dinner spot
The whole Hawaiian package! Ambience, food, music, sunset, poolside, great service, fun! We didn’t make reservations but scored a first come, first serve table off the the side of the bar where you check in. The hostess was kind enough to alert us since we had kids and the wait was 1hr. Waiter Victor was attentive and helpful w suggestions. So kind. My Mai tai was the best so far on the island. Calamari was not your usual but SO GOOD! I had korean street tacos, husband had filet w mash potatoes and a corn medley I have to research the recipe for, kids had burgers. All incredible! Even the wild fat cats on the beach were a hit.
Service is a real problem.
Asked to speak with a manager and after waiting 20 minutes, the manager avoided our group. Each restaurant has its own concerns, but the manager is to ensure a great customer experience. The experience at Dukes is near ZERO in my opinion.
Been twice this trip.
Lunch and then dinner another night Food is always great and the staff does an Outstanding job. Our waiter both trips were great. Friendly and Happy. Make sure and reserve a spot. Worth the time spent
Just a short walk from Papakea, we get to enjoy beautiful
Just a short walk from Papakea, we get to enjoy beautiful views, great food and kind service. We have reservations for this trip already. I have only been for dinners but am hoping to go for lunch as well.
Hey it's Dukes.
They all have great views and a great vibe. There is one on each island and in Malibu too. We have been to them all! I have not actually eaten inside the Maui one for a number of years. I will say the Togo shack is handy. Food, come on again it's Dukes, probably have had everything on the menu at one time or another. Most recently I had the pork shank and she had the seafood risotto. Nothing was said during the whole meal, only ohhh and mmmm were uttered.
Great Service Great Food Confusing Menu System
This rating would be a 5 if it wasn't for their confusing menu system. Multiple menus are displayed near ocean boardwalk however nothing indicates what is different about them. Lunch vs Dinner?? We inquired with hostess if fish and chips was available for lunch & dinner referencing confusing menus on display. She gave a long answer that had to do with different seating area. So we asked, "So we can get fish & chips for dinner?" She responded yes. So we made reservations for following evening. Lexie was our waitress. Upon reviewing menu- no fish & chips. When we asked She said that we would need to be seated at the bar [stones throw from our table] to order that item. We explained what we had been told & she happily got permission for us to order. She was a fabulous waitress. It was a very busy place. Food was coming out so quickly. Wait staff all seemed professional & quick. Entres coming out looked delicious. Will definitely go back...all because of Lexie's great handling of the situation. Hopefully Dukes mgmt will add clarification information to their menu board outside.
What a beautiful location for dining by the beach.
The service was fantastic, everyone is very attentive and welcoming. The food was amazing . Love the steam fish and shrimp on the banana leaf. Finished with two favorite desserts Creme Brûlée... I love to come back again soon!
FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!! Our wonderful server, Michael, made
FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!! Our wonderful server, Michael, made my 65th birthday very special. He was friendly, prompt, kind, and helpful! The mai tais and our delicious food were amazing. The memories made here will always bring a smile. My husband and I thank you!!
Delicious!!!
Duke’s is a fav of ours. It is a bit pricey but worth it. The staff was fantastic and spot on. The view is partial beach which is fine when you’re eating, you can still hear the waves and relax! We had the calamari (exceptional) and the crab wontons (very good) along with a couple cold ones.
Right on the beach to watch for whales while you eat
Great spot for whale watching while you have lunch. Friendly staff and good service. Great menu and you must definitely stay for the Hula Pie dessert! It's AMAZING! No wonder Duke's is famous for that dessert.
The food is mediocre and the service was atrocious.
Went for lunch and sat there for 45 minutes before someone came to help us. Flagged down no less than 5 servers and bus boys asking if someone could take our order. Was about to leave and finally received some service. I can't recall the last time we had such a poor dining experience. Can't recommend.
We always love Dukes! The patio is gorgeous and it's a must
We always love Dukes! The patio is gorgeous and it's a must do at sunset with the live music and the delicious food. We've enjoyed the fresh fish catches. You can't beat the view.
We typically go for drinks early evening.
There is no happy hour. Great service, fun bartenders, typical prices. Lots of fruity tropical drinks. Only have had snacks, typically are generous sizes. Close to the water, we saw much whale activity, great fun to see. Limited seating in the bar areas, but people seem to move on fairly quickly. Easy access from the many resorts nearby via the beach walk. You may Need reservations for dinner seating.
Family arrived in paradise from all over .
.. and we were looking for a great meal ... and called Duke's. They told us they had room for our party of 6 outside. We were fortunate to have Roy and Joey as our waiters. Recommendations were spot on, and we all had a great meal. Highly recommend.
Great Meal, wait staff & view !

Pathetically awful
We are at dukes our first night there and we happened to also stay at the hotel it’s located at, so my experience with Dukes is much more than just one meal. The setting is lovely, right on kaanapali beach in a beautiful location and setting. 10/10 for the setting. We had a waitress named Kristi who was not only rude, but also very unhelpful. She was unfriendly, clearly didn’t want to be there, so I really can’t understand why she’d want to be a waitress. It was busy the night we went, but that shouldn’t matter. Someone in the hospitality business should have a friendly demeanor and Kristy definitely did not. The food was mediocre. Since this was our first meal in Hawaii, we didn’t know what to expect about the level of food, but since we were there for a full 12 days, we came to find out that Dukes was definitely sub-par. The food wasn’t hot, was bland and just not prepared with the TLC that you’d expect a restaurant charging those kinds of prices to have. Which leads me to my next point about just how incredibly corporate this place is. Over the course of our trip, we ate at 3 different restaurants owned by TS Restaurant Group, on different islands. Even tho all 3 restaurants had a different name, they were all basically the same with many many many menu items being the exact same and quite literally the EXACT same kids menu across all 3 restaurants. It is so clear that the ONLY thing this restaurant group cares about is making money. At Dukes specifically (again I stayed at the hotel so I have A LOT of experience), I witnessed them ALWAYS measuring their wine pours. To the point that one day, when I asked for it in a tall to go class (versus the really short one they always give), since they didn’t know the measurement on the taller cup, they poured the wine in to something else that they could measure with, and THEN poured it in to the taller to go cup. BEYOND pathetic. I’ve never witnessed a ‘high end’ restaurant go to such great lengths of measuring wine, god forbid you get an extra .5 or even are shortened .5 of an ounce. So pathetic! It’s all just so incredibly corporate, I could not in good conscience, recommend this restaurant to anyone unless you love knowing you’re there just so they can see how much money they can make off you , vs them caring one iota about if you enjoyed your meal.
Wonderful visit
Had tried one night to get in(didn't have reservations, wait 1.75 hr), decided to change to next day, able to get a reservation for 4:00pm. Had a wonderful table, great view of the water. The waiter we had Braden was wonderful. A smilely happy, pleasant young man. Loved his outlook and positivity. Ordered the Duke's lemonade drink which is so yummy good. I ordered the fish tacos, with taco chips. OH my they were so good. Impressed with the size of the fish in the two tacos received as I have had some restaurants give you very small pieces. Great flavor and the taco chips were yummy good. My niece had the coconut shrimp(received 4 nice size shrimp) and caesar salade. She really enjoyed her food. First time visiting the restaurant, and would definitely return and will plan ahead to reserve. But would be nice if they offered to make a reservation online like the other Duke's restaurants.
Underwhelmed
Last time on Maui I went to Duke's Beach House and it was fantastic. Expecting something similar was a mistake. The fried calamari with cocktail sauce resembled fried mozzarella sticks with marinara. It was ok. The Korean steak street tacos were good. If you are fished out and not feeling a burger because you eat them all the time, this is a good alternative.
Exceeded Expectations
Dinner at Dukes was outstanding. Server Luke was professional while being personable and informative. He showed a sincere interest in us and took the time to answer our questions. Luke is a valuable asset to your service team. Both fresh fish entree and ribs & chicken were sooo good. This was the best dining experience we had in Ka anapali. And the Mai Tias were delicious. Recommended.
Best dinner in Kaanapali
We spent our 38th anniversary at Duke's in Kaanapali. What a great choice! Service and food were both excellent. Daniella, our server, make sure we felt very special. I had the seafood risotto and my wife the fresh fish. This was the best risotto I have ever had. Highly recommend. We never felt rushed, so we could take our time and make room for the luscious free lava cake for desert.
Nice service…but sadly won’t return.
Beautiful view and friendly service…fish tacos had no flavor at all. So disappointing. Ribs were dry, macaroni salad was very good. Loved the kids menu/activity book.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
