This is a really nice funky little beach grill. Clean and Nice local vibe. Food was very good for beach grill food. A few TVs so you could see it a great atmosphere during game night. Parking might be a challenge if busy but worth it

Best burgers ever. I haven't had anything here I don't like. Great selection of food. Service is top notch. The atmosphere is the best. Laid back and every one becomes a friend. There's outside seating and pets are welcome on the patios. There are a few arcade games and tvs to watch your sports. To wrap it all up the Parking attendant Jose is amazing! I always recommend Duke's!

This spot is really amazing! Nice friendly sevice, good food and reasonable prices. We had the Cheeseburger with fries. It was delicious. They have a choice of different beers at the counter and a beautiful patio. We had a real happy good time at your spot. Next time, we're in Ventura we come again - promise.

If you want a great burger on the beach without the pretentious atmosphere this is a place you have to try. Had the whole ball of wax burger with the house potato chips. Honestly if they sold the chips by themselves they would put ruffles out of business. They are that good. The burger was great. Well cooked. Seasoned great and just the right size. The place is a typical surfers diner. So not super upscale seats and such, but that would be so out of place here it wouldn’t work. The ambiance the food and the people all work together. This is definitely a locals spot however they will welcome you and not all local spots will do that. There is an outdoor patio which allows well behaved pets on leashes. It is kid friendly with a pinball machine and some various arcade games in the back. They have a couple local beers on tap and a few nationwide breweries. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

5++++ This lunch today was amazing. I have lived in the area for a year now and never walked into Duke's. Can't believe I have been passing this gem without walking in. First it could be said it has a classic old Hawaiian restaurant feel, I did have a place on the Big Island (Favorites Hawaii Style Cafe and Seafood Bar), but Duke's is truly a Classic Ventura Surf Cafe. Second the food was fabulous fries cooked to perfection and the Burger WOW. Thirdly the staff was incredibly friendly made me feel like I was family. That had me park my bike safely in the comfy patio area. We're talking couches, pet water bowls, with chicken breast and burger patties for the pups on request. Now the inside had a nice bar with sports on great monitors and a lot of cozy booths and tables. Now the kicker was when kitchen staff asked me how my burger was! Never in my life except at Le Meurice Paris. Edit: We went back for breakfast and another lunch since my first review the NY style pastrami sandwich the onion rings and the banana macadamia pancakes all perfect. Okay those that read my reviews likely see I try to give only positive reviews. Before I write critical reviews I will usually try other items on different days before criticism is posted.
