At Southcenter, Duke's is such a nice location and food is superb. Clam chowder never fails to impress. Fish and chips always a delight. My preferred lunch is the chopped seafood salad - so much seafood you can hardly eat it all. Chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream for a dessert was delicious. We had 11:30 AM reservation, so not many other diners in the restaurant. Recommend for romantic meals, family meals, and just regular dining.

Underwhelmed with the portioning of the Fish & Chips entree. Started with the Cole slaw that was two fork fulls. Surprised by the small amount of chips (fries) on the plate. Our server was very good!

Entrees are a bit smaller, get an appetizer (highly recommend the calamari strips and salmon bites) and you have to try the crab Un-cakes - absolutely incredible! It's in the mall and if you're not familiar with the area and inside the mall - ask a human being or GPS will have you chasing your tail.
Staff welcomed our group. Attentive and friendly service. Our food selections were delivered in a timely manner, and everything was delicious. I would definitely eat here more often if the prices weren't on the higher end. Overall, it was a great experience.

We appreciate the quality of ingredients that Duke's has been known for. This review would have been 5 stars if they still used pure olive oil instead of mixing it with toxic canola seed oil. Grateful that the server accommodated my request to avoid seed oils, however that meant that all elements of my dinner were not available to me since the potatoes are pre-prepared. Come on Duke. You're wayyy better than this!

Food was solid! Enjoyed warm bread and soft butter to start. Server was attentive and wine list was very well priced with good selections. Kids portions are generous. Husband had macadamia crusted fish and liked it. I had a combo taco and chowder and it was good as well. Chowder was served piping hot, just like I like it!

Great place for wonderful food and service. The fish and chips are excellent. Solid fish and not too greasy. I love the warm sourdough bread. I could eat that as my entire dinner. The chowder bread bowl is divine. Great for any occasion.

My son had the corn chowder soup, we shared an un-crab cake and a small bite with shrimp and scallop. I had the stuffed salmon and my son the sole. Outstanding food and service!! I also had a Dukes Manhattan... made to perfection! Food is as excellent!! For some reason we received no open table points so if you are looking for points at this restaurant beware!!

Service was terrific. Mussels on the special were wonderful. Crab cake was a bit of a disappointment. I like a crab cake with a little lump crab and this was pretty non descript. Nothing great to say for the money charged for this item. Clam chowder was delicious but not served hot. Bread delicious.

Each and every time we visit Dukes (SouthCenter) we have a fabulous time, this time we brought out of town guests to join us.... We ALWAYS ask to be in Danny's section, as he is the perfect topping to a great experience at Dukes. Aloha, Mark & Laurie
Celebrating my birthday with family and had a great experience! For some reason the cucumber mojito tasted more sour than usual but overall e we had a great lunch. Our server was absolutely awesome!!!

We were seated by a big table and it was disappointing as we were there for our anniversary. also the waitress asked if we wanted to split the bill which was very odd to both of us. The meal was good but not the overall experience this time.

We wanted a nice dinner but were in a hurry to catch a plane. Dukes was very accommodating. We got there at 6 and were on the way to the airport an hour later after a delicious dinner! I highly recommend the blueberry goat cheese salmon with red potatoes and green beans. It was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing! Two of us got fish and chips and they were also excellent. The other member of our party got shrimp and loved it as well. Overall, an excellent choice for dinner!

Our sibling group got together for a long awaited lunch at noon at Duke's SC on a sunny Sunday in October. My reservation was found, we were given a choice of table or booth, and promptly seated. Our server Kevin came by and poured us water and offered to help with any questions, taking one order for coffee. We were not in a hurry and when the appetizer came (salmon sliders) it was welcome, along with their outstanding warm sourdough bread basket. Everyone ordered something different and it all looked good. I especially loved the fish platter for my yummy crab sandwich on brioche bun. I opted for salad instead of fries, and was impressed with it; not a limp afterthought, the salad was great, with pecans and blue cheese, fresh greens, apple chunks and vinaigrette dressing. What a delicious surprise. Others at the table got the unchopped seafood salad (a half order that she couldn't finish), one got the chowder sampler, and one holdout for a burger and opted for a caesar salad. He enjoyed the fresh and perfectly balanced salad and only ate half of the burger, taking the rest home for later. The only downer was that one of the chowders was not pleasing, but when questioned, she said no problem, she took a risk, however, Kevin offered to bring another serving of the chowder she liked and eventually she was persuaded to take a cup home with her. He wanted her to leave happy, as did we all. It was a wonderful meal, good company and exceptional seafood and burger. This SC location has no water views and looks out on a parking lot, so it lacks ambiance but it makes up for it with extra service and outstanding food.
