A wonderful seafood restaurant nestled just above the braking waves of Pacific Ocean located on the Famous Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Stunning ocean views throughout the restaurant with a nice bar and open air patio... Duke's has reasonably priced great food and it sits right at the edge of the water in Malibu... Southern California at it's finest!

4 stars for the food, but 5 stars for the whole experience
My wife and I went to Duke's Malibu since we had a surprisingly positive experience at their Waikiki location. All the staff were very friendly and attentive from start to finish. While the quality of the seafood wasn't as good as the ones in Waikiki, we still enjoyed everything.
We started off with the Volcano and the calamari and the coconut shrimp. The Volcano is basically the Lava Flow minus the alcohol. Highly recommend if you can't drink. Both calamari and shrimp were good, but we would recommend the shrimp over the calamari if we had to choose one. We also shared a furikake ahi steak and a ribs & chicken plate. The ahi wasn't as good as the ahi in Waikiki, but it was still good. Some of our ribs were cold so we just asked our waiter to reheat it for us. He promptly returned the ribs to the kitchen and later brought out some hot ribs while letting us know that our drink had been comped as an apology. I think this really speaks to their level of service. We would have been completely fine with just a new set of ribs but Duke's had given us free drinks without us even having to ask.
You have to get the Hula Pie whenever you go to Dukes but we also got the key lime pie. The Hula Pie was obviously MASSIVE and delicious, but the key lime pie was surprisingly amazing. It was so good that I would get the key lime pie over the Hula Pie next time.

We got there and it was a full house. I wanted seating by the window so we waited like 25 minutes to get seating by the window. I didn’t mind waiting it was worth it. The food was delicious and didn’t take long to come out even though the restaurant was very busy. We parked valet here and they brought us our car. I would definitely come back. The service was great and everyone was super nice. Can’t wait to try other dishes.

They were very accommodating when we asked for a certain spot by the window. Our waiter Tyler was personable, friendly and courteous. Reason for only 4 stars on the food was the Ahi cut wasn't the best....

Amazing view!
I’ve been to plenty of other restaurants on Malibu coast but this one beats them all. Loved the well prepared food. They were not only beautiful to look at but were fresh and delicious! The server was also very helpful and friendly. We had such a good time that we set up several dates here at Duke for the next few special occasions before we left!
Calamari was just okay though. It’s kinda tough. Not your typical dainty calamari. I would skip this next time. Good but not amazing.
Their halibut was amazing. Loved the light creamy sauce with macadamia nuts. Didn’t care for the macaroni salad though. Will definitely swap it for something else next time. It’s the only thing we left almost untouched. Otherwise, we cleared our plates.
The coconut shrimp was good, better than average but nothing you can’t find in this neighborhood. Same with fish and chips. I would pass on burgers as well, though they’re good, it’s not extraordinary.
Our least favorite was the ahi poke bowl. For some reason, all the ingredients didn’t blend well. Ingredients were my favorite things and I was thinking, how could it go wrong? But it was definitely not the most tasty poke. We had better ones and next time, we won’t get it for sure.
The Hula Pie is a must. We thoroughly loved it. Could’ve ordered one per person! Please save your stomach for the dessert. Would come back just for this!
All in all, we loved our experience and will definitely come back to try other entrees on the menu!

Right on the ocean fun place must go to if you're in Malibu. We had a delicious breakfast but the waiter knew it was my friend's birthday and brought us a piece of ice cream cake on the house. The wonderful woman who the gidget movie and TV show was based on was there walking around chatting up with everybody she was so sweet and lovely

They go out of their way to make you happy and comfortable. The waitresses are amazing. Comped our dessert. They moved us to another table so we could have a better view of the ocean. Everyone was so nice. I would definitely recommend making a reservation. The food is delicious. My steak was perfect. Would definitely go back next time I'm here. This was my favorite place during my visit to Cali.

LOVE Duke’s Malibu
It’s my mom’s birthday and my brother’s favorite Malibu Restaurant is Duke’s and it was an impressive marvelous FUN birthday
We truly enjoyed some drinks at the Barefoot Bar which has the kindest sweetest bartenders and the views are spectacular
We loved the Calamari appetizer
It was truly the best I’ve ever had
Then more drinks hahaha
We moved at a booth overlooking the Pacific Ocean
The waves were gently crashing as we anticipate a hurricane from Mexico
We ordered the mango hamburger ribs and fish and chips
The food was truly juicy and delicious
We enjoyed the key lime pie for desert which was super fresh with freshly whipped cream
Yummmmmm
It was the best birthday thanks to this marvelous local spot Duke’s Malibu
We also appreciated the service… just fabulous thank you

Great experience! I knew of Dukes, but never thought I would get to experience eating there. In Malibu for the first time and friends took us there. I had the Sautee mac nut & herb crusted fish. Perfectly done, every bite sweet and delicious. Save room for desert! I (and everyone we talked to) suggest the hula pie! You won't regret it. Staff very attentive and genuinely friendly, making sure you enjoy your meal and time at Duke's.

Service and view were phenomenal. Very friendly and accommodating. Wonderful overall experience. We rated the food 4/5 because we felt the sauce on the steak was too mild but the steak was great. Wish there were more asparagus stalks with it. Fish and chips were good but have had tastier fries. Pie was yummy - but tasted like typical ice cream pie (tasted more like vanilla ice cream than macadamia nut). Hummus plate was very good. Parking is valet ($12 on day we went), but there is also free street parking.
