Malibu is full of icons. There may be none more legendary than the man who brought the tradition of surfing to our slice of heaven, Duke Kahanamoku. Duke’s Malibu honors the Ambassador of Aloha and pays tribute to the early days of West Coast surfing with delicious island-inspired cuisine, drinks at the Barefoot Bar and a genuine spirit of Aloha. Nestled along the Pacific Coast Highway, Duke’s Malibu has been serving up timeless memories for over 25 years, having opened its doors in 1996. Locals and visitors alike come to celebrate life and dine like a legend.

The food was decent, but everything else was perfect: Nick gave us great service while we watched the sun set, flocks of pelicans coast by, and a pod of dolphins swim towards Santa Monica.

Haven’t been here for some time and the staff was lovely, but the food was very very subpar. Very disappointed having been a regular customer that started eating here in the 70s. I know it’s a different venue, but I would absolutely never recommend it nor would I go again ,Too bad ,because the venue is absolutely beautiful. We really need more venues like this on the coast , bring back the old school sour dough bread service , baked potatoes and the simple surf and turf menu

Excellent, classic seafood restaurant on the coast in Malibu. Fine calamari, martini, @ arugula salad 🥗. Duke's halibut was squishy & a disappointment. Been coming here for decades...

This was our first time visiting Dukes in Malibu (we went to the one in Honolulu years ago). We definitely recommend going before sunset, as the ambiance of the ocean and sun and sky are amazing. After dark, it loses that, as Malibu doesn't allow lights on the water. Our food was excellent (except that the wedge salad was drowning in dressing). The entree's were delicious, as well as the calamari and dessert. Everything was very clean and sharp, yet the casual atmosphere welcomed a more laid-back local and tourist crowd. Our fave experience was the amazing service. Eliana, a Pepperdine student, was our server and she was very attentive, friendly, positive, and hopeful, without being overly chatty or disruptive. She's a star. We will be back.

Kinda lost its former glory. Food really not good. Never was ya know, gourmet, but tonight was like eating economy cabin food on Hawaiian Airlines. Decor tired. Staff doing their best. But feels like the lease is up and the management are just waiting it out.
