Cyndi Smith: BEST Calamari *ever* - Abalone style. BEST Mai Tai coctails EVER. :) BEST Sweet Potato Fries! Pretty much everything on the menu is a winner.
IS KLE: Can't get enough of this place. Hawaiian fish soup is amazing. Fish tacos, veggie burger, fish sandwich, plantains, fries - all great.
Christina Pedersen: The Dukes Pork plate is the BEST. It's also a great place for happy hour - the drinks and apps are delicious (specifically the sweet potato fries, pot stickers, and the pirate ship - just share!)
Mike Black: Garlic fries literally have cloves on them. #StankyBreath
Monica Hertzz: Best veggie burger I have ever had!! Made with black beans. And I subbed the house salad for the French fries and the salad was just as delicious! Definitely coming here more!
Richard Stewart: I went with the fish and chips this time. Nice and crispy! My wife had the lamb stew and the lamb was tender and the broth was delicious. Burgers and big, tasty and they have some great beers in tap
