DUKE'S SEAFOOD TACOMA REVIEWS

It was my first time going to Dukes and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and made sure I had great service. I had their clam chower which was delicious and the Seattle's best crab cake sandwich. I highly recommend both.

Duke's Seafood is my go-to restaurant in town, and it never disappoints. I feel like they always use good, fresh ingredients. The food tastes great, and the waterfront view is amazing. I highly recommend coming for happy hour, which runs daily from 3-6 PM and 9 PM to close. Signing up for their email club also has its perks—I even received a free meal on my birthday.

Views galore! The best place to get a nice view of the mountain and good food. I had the crab cake and 2 chowder dinghy. It was plenty of food for a lunch. Their beverage options are amazing as well.

LOBSTER SHOP REVIEWS

I wish I could have tried their other food. Only had Oysters amd they were among the best i had. The iced champagnegrette was super delicious, horseradish was very spicy, as I like it. Had bread and a new take on pesto with yummy bread. Thin crust, crunchy but soft and slightly warm on the inside. What surprised me most was that the waiter proactively offered a lemon to my Hefeweizen. I believe it is spelled Hefewiezen on the menue card. But outside Germany, nobody served Hefeweizen with a lemon. Respect! And yes, the views and relaxed atmosphere was great. I ll definitely will come back.

This place is phenomenal and the views to die for. The food is fresh, made to order and the flavors with a nice balance. The servings are big so be mindful if you want to share some of the food. We had the soup and sandwich combo and it was delicious pair this with a beer or wine and you have a winner. The dessert was the key lime cheesecake and also very good balance with the flavors. The service was outstanding and very friendly and attentive so you will be taken care of the whole time you are a guest there come and check them out.

We had an AMAZING experience!! We got there for happy hour and were able to sit pretty quickly. The bartender Chris took care of us and had great recommendations. The food was hot and incredibly tasty. The manager greeted us and ensured we were well taken care off. Shoutout to Delonna if you have any interest PLEASE GO! 10/10 also as an added bonus the outside view is incredible of Mount Rainier.

RED LOBSTER REVIEWS

I celebrated my Birthday with family,we had a great dinner in a quiet setting. . A great place that's clean and I was treated like I was the only one in there. We stopped by for my wife's birthday she wasn't disappointed say the least she was spoiled by the waitresses got what she wanted.

We went for drinks and appetizers and had a grand time. It was mid day so hardly anyone was there, which I like because we got excellent service. The drinks were yummy and so cute and our lobster baked potatoe was melt worthy.

Pretty busy. But our server was great.
