Duke's Beach Grill

"Dukes in Ventura, located not far from the beach on Seaward, remains a longtime family favorite for us, and our recent lunch experience only solidified that sentiment. While the restaurant has evolved over the years, it still retains its laid-back atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for families. With plenty of tables catering to various party sizes, a bar, video games, and a patio, there's something for everyone at Dukes. The counter service setup allows for easy ordering, with food brought to your table once you're seated, while bar drinks are purchased separately at the bar. The menu boasts a variety of options, including burgers, sandwiches, salads, fish, clam chowder, a kids menu, and various sides. During our visit, we indulged in fish and chips, a BLT, a whole ball of wax cheeseburger, and clam chowder, all of which were consistently delicious with no complaints. While the prices for sandwiches and burgers are slightly on the higher side, averaging around $20 per person for lunch, the quality of the food and the convenience of the location near the beach make it worth it. Dukes also offers a great option for those looking to grab food to go and enjoy a beachside lunch. Overall, Dukes continues to be a go-to spot for us, and we'll definitely be returning for lunch in the future."

"My first fish taco was from here nearly 30 yrs ago. It set the bar pretty high and continues to not disappoint. Great menu with burgers, burritos, tacos and the like. Unique homemade crosscut potato chips. Located a stones throw from the beach, it's the perfect place to grab a beer and some lunch! Lot and street parking are free. Prices are reasonable, but the food taste says it should cost much more!"

"We had such a great time here. Indoor and outside seating. Service was great. They were helpful with local information. Located by the beach and easy to get to. FUN Place to go. Great atmosphere!!"

"Stopped by on a whim and the meal was off the hook!! Perfectly prepared grilled salmon and steamed veggies. Fresh, great taste and texture on the salmon with just a hint of char. Veggies were well seasoned and the ideal texture too -- fully cooked, but crisp tender. My husband had the "Whole ball of wax" burger and house made potato chips and enjoyed it immensely. Not a spec left on either plate. Friendly staff too! Check it out. You won't be disappointed."

"It's a nice little cozy restaurant by the beach. Very friendly and casual environment with good food and standard beer offering. We had the Mexican style street corn on the cob, fish taco, and clam chowder in bread bowl. Corn was tasty. Fish taco was not overly breaded, and flavor was on the spot. Clam chowder was also good. Definitely a nice coastal eatery with good vibes and service"
