Duke's Restaurant & Barefoot Bar

There is literally only one or two things marked gluten free on the menu…. And one is a salad. The drinks were fantastic but they didn’t really seem helpful for gluten free food options so we just had drinks there. Great environment and fun, but two stars just because their menu was lacking.

Great buffet lunch, the manager gave me to tour of the GF options and informed the poke bar staff that I was GF. There was a few GF items on the menu and they can make burgers/sandwiches with a GF bun.

Not a lot of gf options. Waiter was knowledgeable but not very helpful. My son got the fish and rice but it was very bland. At least they could figure out something to eat, but wouldn’t go back.

Had a Caesar Kale salad with fresh Parmesan and poached Mahi Mahi. Skipped their dressing as I’m canola oil intolerant in addition to gluten intolerant. Their server manager came to check in so that kitchen is well-briefed to deliver GF and canola free. Food very tasty. Used olive oil and lemon for dressing. No reactions.

Tourist destination! Huge crowds and had to wait 15 minutes for a table despite our booking reservation. No gf options marked on menu but waiter went through options that could be modified. Had the steak with no jus which was ok. Didn’t eat the mash just in case. Was fine afterwards.

Waitress was not helpful at all. Not accommodating and tried to up-sale me with alternative side dishes. She didn’t know how to make something gf and said she would check and never did. I took a risk and got the ribs, had good flavor but were cold. Very disappointing for such a historical and expensive place.

I went here quite a few times on my trip bc it never made me sick. Here are my tips. - I liked the bar better than the restaurant! Also almost zero wait time. I also thought their food was easier for gf (burgers, etc). If you want something from the bar menu you cannot order from the restaurant. - the bar has a to go window which is perfect if you’re sitting on the beach and want to order food! Good takeout containers, quite expensive though - I got a steak and wedge salad at the restaurant, blackened mahi mahi tacos (lettuce wrap) from the bar, and the burger from the bar (twice). I liked the tacos and burger the best. - no gf fries, so they ask if you want to sub for Caesar salad. I said sure the first time, they didn’t give me dressing so it was bad. Second time I realized they were charging me $5 extra for salad even though they know I can’t eat the fries. The salad is NOT worth $5, the lettuce was brown basically. I was annoyed about that. - they have items marked “gluten conscious”. They were confident in the gf things though. I didn’t get sick.

It’s touristy but I loved this spot!! Great all around for gf

Great experience overall. Just a few options marked GF on menu but waiter was very accommodating and knowledgeable about other items that could be made GF. He also expressed the importance of cross contamination . Had the fish tacos with side Caesar salad. Fair prices for beautiful location on the water! Food was delivered by manager and he mentioned GF again.

The menu has gluten-free items marked, and it makes it look like there are only 3 GF items. Fear not! Many of their dishes can be made GF if you ask. Our waitress even notified the manager and the kitchens that there were gluten allergies, as was their protocol. Food tasted great.

Great experience again. The server told me they take good care with allergies. They have a few things marked on the menu and the server told me additional things they could amend and make GF. I had no bad reaction to the food.

10/17/16: Great experience! The server was super helpful in telling me my options and then a manager followed up and let me know what they would do to make sure everything was safe. And the food I had was so tasty. Loved it!

Food was really good and they have GF buns! Plus can’t beat the location. Would recommend ordering in person or calling (rather than online) because items weren’t marked and it was a bit hard to tell what was safe.

Went here for breakfast brunch after reading on the app there was a few options. Could only have the bacon and the sausages for hot items (which to be honest not sure if that was even a good call). There was a fruit bar, so had a ton of pineapple and yogurt. Wasn’t much else to eat. They also said sometimes they have GF toast but we’re out. Disappointing…

Their Pono pie, a gluten free dairy free version of cheesecake is delicious. I haven't tried much else here. Got a salad once during the beginning of covid Shutdown last year and it was terrible but I can't blame them for that.

Buffet for breakfast only. No GF bread of any kind. Stuck with the usual…eggs, meat, potatoes, fruit. Frustrating when you pay $20 for breakfast and are relegated to 4 options. Fruit was incredible, everything else was the same shit you can get anywhere else.

Communicated our concerns about the breakfast buffet, and was told the chef would make us our own batch of food. Got bacon, eggs, fruit, and a GF hamburger bun for toast (which was probably the best bun I’ve ever tasted). Decent safe breakfast. But also expensive, and a long wait.

They took such good care of my GF allergy. I ordered a burger with a gf bun, which was delicious!! She even checked the bbq sauce and ranch for me. She wasn’t clear on the ranch so she put it on the side for me to decide. Took very good care of me!!!

The staff was very friendly and told my son which dishes were gluten free, however he did not notify the chef that he was a celiac. It was our first night and he was so sick the next day after having the seafood platter. We love this restaurant but it literally ruined the rest of our trip since he now fears eating at all restaurants.

Celiac friendly?

No

Can't beat the Lanai seating right on the beach. Menu did not list many gf options, but server Megan was able to help and checked with manager on what would be safe.

Very good breakfast buffet with many GF options. Everything is noted that if GF which is very much appreciated.

I did the breakfast buffet here. I had some fresh fruit, an omelette, and chicken sausage. The server had the kitchen toast up an Udi's bun and brought it out.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent, bc of my cross contamination concern,the manager came out and explained nothing with gluten/bread cook on the grill. I got Cancun grilled chicken on top of salad. I want to try the burger! My son had the ribs and were excellent. We will be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sat in the bar area, got a salad with oil and vinegar. Pretty basic but happy I did not get sick!

I felt mostly safe eating a Dukes. Although there were not a ton of options, and no separate GF menu, the waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and what they could make safely for me. The manager came by the table to speak to me about my order and alerted me to the fact that the aioli had soy sauce in it as well. I appreciated their carefulness.

We'd been here a couple of years ago and it was excellent. I had the pulled pork sandwich. Our server was fabulous. She checked everything with the manager and kitchen. Good was excellent, ditto for service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu doesn't have a lot marked gf but the waiter told us all we could have. Steaks were amazing, salad bar was plentiful. Really enjoyed the meal and staff were very friendly!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was sooo amazing. It was my birthday and the server went above and beyond. They have two primary gluten free fish dishes, I had one and my husband had the other. Honestly the best gluten free dinner EVER!! The salad bar was perfectly marked so that was a total plus. I can’t even put into words how amazing our dinner was and no issues either!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff were very knowledgeable and reassuring of procedures. They informed the chef to assure there was no cross contamination. I had a cheeseburger with a great GF bun.

Hamburgers with gf bun. No fries because they are cross contaminated. So I got to pay 3$ for a salad because I didn’t have a choice. Nice the manager comes to talk to you about your allergies and food needs. Not a lot of choices lunch wise.

Gluten free buns and the employees were on top of exactly what was and wasn’t gluten free including all dressings and sauces.

They were amazing! The waiter who was very knowledgeable took our order and even after I ordered the manager came over and talked to me and the chef personally. They are very conscious about allergies-get reservations cause they are busy

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable, manager came out to make sure we were all on same page and would tell Chef. They just didn’t seem to have a lot of options. Kids menu only had one gf option. If you want a burger, they have gf buns.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was friendly & accommodating, but there were very few choices (2) beyond salad. Even their fries are slightly battered and there are in same fryer. The lunch buffet had (2) identified cold salads. No main meal on buffet (chicken, pork, pasta) was identified gf. Only a cider available.

Delicious food and very knowledgeable staff!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was great with respecting and accommodating my dietary concerns. Upon notifying the waitress of the gluten issue, she inquired if it was an allergy or a preference. Being the former, she explained that she would notify the chef and the manager, so all parties could be on the same page. The manager stopped by our table to discuss what I wanted to order and how the recipe should be tweaked to mitigate any possible gluten content or cross contamination. The food was excellent and the staff very knowledgeable. The menu only lists a few items as specifically GF, but I think the key is just letting them know and they'll do whatever is possible to adjust to your needs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waiter was very knowledgeable and manager even came out and explained how they were handling and preparing my food. I was really impressed. Menu has gluten free items labeled and so does the salad bar.

Though the seating host knew what celiac disease was, neither the server, nor the manager were very knowlegeable. Availability of no CC/GF dishes were very limited, as I didn't trust what they had to say about the burger grill. Thus, I ordered a beet salad minus the blue cheese and candied walnuts. The salad wasn't bad and the chef knew to use gloves/separate dishes to prepare the food. They tried, and that certainly counts. However, I'd go elsewhere, as only some of the staff actually understand celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No
