    Duke’s Seafood on Ruston is always a treat. Since Destin is officially on Christmas break, I treated him to a mom + son holiday lunch date. 🎁🎄🥰 Destin requested Duke’s and loves dining out along the waterfront. His favorite item on the menu is the Duke’s Fish and Chips and a Strawberry Lemonade. My favorite for lunch (today) was the Blackened Salmon Caesar Salad. Such a yummy spot to dine and perfect for kiddos. Our PNW restaurant go-to. Bonus: we saw a rainbow over the water. 🌈🌊🐟 #pnwfamily #pnwmom #pnwkids #pnweats #pnwfoodie #tacomafoodie #seattlefoodie #seafoodrestaurant #dukesseafood #lunchdate #momandsontime

    Duke’s for the win on Destin’s last day of summer break before he starts his new school tomorrow. My parents landed last night and asked us to lunch, how could we refuse. Waterfront, fish tacos, fish and chips, and sunshine! The perfect Tuesday! 🌊💙🌞🐟🌮 #dukesseafood #tacomafoodie #tacomawa #rustonway #waterfrontdining #pnwfoodie #seafoodlover #tacotuesday #boymom #toddlermom #pnwmom #toprestaurant

    Prices are outrageous for what you get. $17 for a half cup of soup is ridiculous. Will never order again.

    Service was excellent and my wife and I loved the view as we were able to go from light to dark while having dinner. The food however was just average. We both had the award winning fish and chips and while my fish came out hot, both of our fries were lukewarm. My wife’s fish was also only warm as though it had been sitting for a while. While we enjoy the ambiance, it’s no substitute for hot food. We had the clam chowder and that was very good. A middling overall rating is for the perceived value considering the lukewarm main course.

    As usual the food and service was great. Early afternoon dining so the noise level was low and the fireplace by the water made the atmosphere perfect.

    I love eating at Duke’s as the food always tastes great and I like their wine selection. The restaurant is a bit pricey but I still like going there.
