Duke's Waikiki
Sitting on the sands of Honolulu's Waikiki Beach, Duke's Waikiki is named after Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, acclaimed international surfer and winner of Olympic medals and trophies for swimming. Patrons enjoy casual dining of popular American fare such as sirloin, prime rib, lobster tail and fresh fish while taking in spectacular ocean and beach views. Many dishes boast a Hawaiian flair, including grilled steak filet with Kona coffee and spices, ribs with mango barbecue glaze and Duke's famous tossed Caesar salad. Hula Pie, a favorite dessert consisting of macadamia nut ice cream in a chocolate cookie pie crust topped with fudge and macadamia nuts, completes the meal. The on-site Barefoot Bar is the perfect venue for catching up with friends while sipping exotic cocktails.
