Duke's Retired Surfer Bar and Grill

Today we celebrated my Aunt’s 60th birthday with a party of 30 plus. S/O to our waiter/waitress who provided excellent customer service the whole entire time with such a big group. Amazing dock size with the view of the ocean. Eating outside to enjoy this beautiful/tropical Tampa weather. Even with it being extremely hot, the outdoor seating had fans every where. The food was good and the drinks were good as well. Wasn’t able to get pictures of all the food & drinks. It’s a must if you are in the South Tampa area, you check them out.

Had a large party a group of about 30. Service was great, food was great. Of course being Florida, the outside temp was on SCORCH. They had fans strategically placed to counter the heat.

Duke’s is a great local spot for a beer, a bite to eat, and a beautiful sunset. It’s casual, super chill, and totally lives up to its name—Duke’s Retired Surfer Bar.

My friend’s birthday happened to fall in the middle of the week, and since we both live nearby, we decided to celebrate with burgers and drinks at Duke’s. The vibe was laid-back and perfect for a low-key evening. Our server was great, he brought my friend a dessert after we finished our meal, which she enjoyed very much!

The burgers were delicious, the view was gorgeous, and the birthday girl left happy. Can’t ask for more than that!

My first time. So good. I got the grouper tacos. I kinda wish there was a lil more grouper bc I felt if I got a sandwich w a full piece maybe I would've gotten more.
Felt was a lil light, side cuts.?. Still delicious. Just not much in taco. My friend got burger n u just cant go wrong w that portion size. Perfect n cooked as she wanted.
I saw others getting fish sandwiches w larger portions than I got n less expensive. Ill go that route next time.

Note to company..u need to do an offering of trio of sliders n tacos. No one wants to eat 3 of the same, put a sampler of ur beef, pork, fish. People will alone clean their plates. I took home 2 fish tacos out of 3. I wanted to try more. Put a trio sampler on the menu. Ill b back for that. I asked n told not possible.

Having gone to the Dukes on Maui, my expectations were pretty high. Having this restaurant tied to the Hula grill was a bit confusing to be honest. This is more of a bar than a restaurant. We asked for lemon water and got nasty tap water to start, no lemons.
We ordered the Poke Bowl 8/10
The mahi fish sandwich and couple of burgers. The food overall 8.5/10
The service 4/10 (felt like we were a hassle)
Atmosphere 6.5/10… no Hawaiian music, just retro music.
We tried to go to the Hula Grill, but because of the rain we couldn’t get a seat outside. If you’re in the area for food, come here. For atmosphere keep going down the street to the Salt Shack. I think “The Duke” would have wanted better than this.

Best fish and chips I've ever had. Drinks are good too. Great vibes but does get packed on the weekends

Was visiting a friend and we had dinner at Duke's sitting at the bar. The food and drinks were both awesome and it's a great view right on the water. I had left my sunglasses at the bar and they were super helpful in locating them and making sure I got them back. Great vibes all around!

The food was delicious 😋 it was packed, and we had little wait. It was worth it. Some drinks were ok, but our server was busy, but she was very attentive, and we will be back

Great stop for lunch on our way south. Nice views of the bay, fun menu, and live music. Not too rowdy at lunch on a Saturday

Once again, I order a medium burger and get a well-well burger.

I saw other pics of the sushi but that is NOT what mine looked like. My sushi looked like California rolls from the grocery store, no kidding. 2 bottled coronas we ordered came after 40 min, one entree after an hour, the appetizer 10 min after that, and the other entree 10 min after that, so entree , appetizer, entree. We didn't say anything about the 'sushi' or the waiter laughing because I asked for chopsticks, or the time delay, or anything, but we had to say something after we got charged twice for one of the entrees plus a salad that wasn't ours, so $23 extra dollars. This review is just to say that if you want to just chill and eat food and not worry about getting the wrong things, or waiting a really long time, or getting charged for stuff you didn't order, probably just go somewhere else. There's lots of good restaurants in Tampa. Hula used to be great, but Dukes sucks, I'd skip it, not worth it at all.

Came here for a surprise birthday party and our group ended up being larger than we’d anticipated. The staff and management at Duke’s were so gracious in accommodating us and our server was absolutely on it with our large party. Fun atmosphere, and everyone was able to find something good to eat, and they had a good selection of drinks. We had a blast and would definitely go back!
