on Judys Book Apr 10, 2011Good: Nothing. Bad: The "new" owners make brunch just shy of an I Hop. Horrible "quality" food. Improvements: Back to the old Dakota's, when brunch was beyond fresh & delicious. Needs new management or a new... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 11, 2009My family and I have NEVER been treated so rudely. One month ago we had a party fpr 26 there and today 10. While we we're enjoying coffee and visiting our family the manager comes and says, literally, "so are we done... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 13, 2008In the last two years we have tried Dakotas a few times and have found the service slow, the beef not at all good. It used to be a great restaurant and a favorite of ours and most of our friends! We're all sorry to see this... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 01, 2008Dakota's is the place to go if you're looking for a great steak and amazing bread! The wait is often extensive, so be sure to go early or make reservations. I don't particularly like their Sunday brunch. Unless you like... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 22, 2006I've glanced through some of these previous reviews, and I simply must disagree. Perhaps Dakota's has changed a lot in the past few years because I've gone at least 4 times in the past year or so (including for my... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 23, 2005This is our favorite restaurant for good food and a lot of it. They have the best all you can eat salad bar with unlimited trips... The steak and seafood is out of this world. (more)

on Citysearch Sep 13, 2005The Dakota is known for its steaks and seafood. But for me, the best reason to go is the Sunday brunch. It is incredible. They have Belgian waffles with banana creme, omlets made to order, home fries, bacon, a carving... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 05, 2005I was surprised the last time I went to Dakota's. Even with a reservation you had to wait in the past. The new manager explained that he has reduced the number of reservations they take so you may not get the exact time you... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 29, 2004Dakota's steak is good, but not great. however the "Dakota cut" prime rid is hands down the best i've ever had period. Side dishes are lacking in variety, prices are decent. The wait to be seated sucks! The service over... (more)

on Citysearch May 11, 2004After seeing the high rating on Citysearch and calling to see if they take reservations, I thought it was worth a try. The "reservation" is really not worthy much. I simply do not patronize places that make me wait.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 11, 2004I have gone to Dakota maybe a dozen times, if that. Every time you go, regardless if you have a reservation or not it is over an hour wait. You ask for your steak rare, they do it medium-rare, to medium well. To be honest,... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2003This had to be one of the worst places I have ever eaten a staek. The only place worse than Dakota's was Applebee's, but I really wasn't expecting much from there. Service at Dakota's was non-existant. and the prices... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 06, 2003Dakota's has a great Sunday brunch but their steak leaves a lot to be desired! Service is just so-so, and I don't think their dinner menu is worth the money! I will happily go there for brunch again anytime, but we won't... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2003CALLED AHEAD OF TIME TO SEE IF THEY HAD A REGULAR MENU ON NEW YEARS EVE AND IF WE NEEDED RESERVATIONS. THEY STATED THAT THE MENU WAS THEIR NORMAL MENU AND THAT YOU COULD CALL AHEAD AND PUT YOUR NAME ON WAITING LIST. THEY... (more)
