Duke's Retired Surfer Bar and Grill

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!

Nice spot on the water to eat. Been coming here for years and I’ve always been happy with the food and service. They have really fresh and tasty sushi. Service has always been attentive and friendly.

Disappointed in our waitress Tanya P and the food mistakes. Both of our meals had errors and Tanya tried to tell us that they were correct. Meals were good when corrected but then we were double charged!

A friend and I saw the advertisement for “Hula Bay” on the TampaBay TikTok. So we decided to check it out for lunch. It seems Hula Bay is still in the construction process so they direct you to Duke’s Retired Surfer Bar and Grill, & as the name suggests this place should retire and close. Only nice thing about it was the scenery and the manager on duty. My friend and I ordered food, our waiter was very bland with offering suggestions or selling the menu. Then she placed a Hula Bay happy hour menu on the table and I had questions about things on that menu to which she blatantly said sorry this menu is very dated so such and such items aren’t even offered and then pointed to Duke’s happy hour menu. I decided on bacon and cheese sliders, my friend did fish and chips. My sliders were cold, and my friend’s meal was heat hot. I brought this to our servers attention and asked her was it possible to get fresh one’s she took those back and returned them following what I would assume was the kitchen air frying or microwaving them. They didn’t even have the common sense or decency to place the toothpick back into the same hole on the bun where I removed it from. Pathetic!!
