Duke's Chowder House on Greenlake

Awesome Food and Gorgeous Waitresses!

by Kirkland Resident at Citysearch

We had lunch there yesterday and sat outside with some friends who were in from Phoenix. It was truly fabulous.

The food was awesome, the service was outstanding and I must say . . . the waitresses were TOTALLY HOT! WOW! I can't wait to go back.

We really love sitting outside in the summertime.

We live in the Green Lake area and drove/walked past Duke's for about three years prior to actually going inside.

We tend to eat pretty healthy and figured that a "chowder house" would not have anything to offer. After finally taking a gander at the menu one summer evening, we realized how wrong we were. We've since been back many times; we tend to enjoy Duke's at least once a month.

Some of the highlights of their menu are any of the fresh fishes as they are creative with their sauces and that's just a beautiful thing. One of my favorites is their Cobb salad topped with salmon...I return for that salad again and again.

While we enjoy the cozy nautical interior, especially the booths, we really love sitting outside in the summertime. It is a wonderful treat!

Good food, bad service

by jln7 at Citysearch

The food has always been as expected but the service can be horrible at times especially if you come in for their happy hour. A friend and I sat down at the bar in front of the TWO bartenders who both ignored us. Thereafter the service just got worse, there was a lot of waiting between ordering, getting the drinks, getting the food and getting the bill. The bartender serving us was very cold and paid very little attention to our requests-I had to ask for an item I ordered twice before it was brought out 10 minutes after I had ordered it. Overall I thought that if you had two bartenders servicing the small bar area it shouldn't take so long to get what you need to have a good meal.

• Pros: Good steamers
• Cons: Service

my new favorite spot

by billyjen at Citysearch

You gotta try this clam chowder. It is without question the best we ever had. This was our first visit but we will be back. Had nothing to complain about except too much food. Our server was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Her name was Perri. I recommend you ask for her.

• Pros: Perri
• Cons: nada

best seafood

by carldu at Citysearch

Took my Dad to Greenlake Dukes for fathers day. What a wonderful experience. Dad loves fresh seafood and had the Halibut with macadamia nuts-absolutely loved it. Our server was so pleasant and efficient. Made my father (whose is 89) feel very special. And the chowder was unlike any we ever had. We will be back.

• Pros: friendly servers
• Cons: can't think of any
