    we were not prepared to only have four items on the main entrée menu. The prices were really high. We expected to walk in and have the same menu we’ve always had. My wife was extremely upset that they didn’t have the salad that she always got. She was very excited about that salad. there should’ve been some kind of poster information made that it was not going to be their original menu and if it wasn’t going to be the original menu, we could at least have the option of getting the original menu.

    The Butter cake with the Henry’s ice cream..oh my! Went for Valentine’s and my husband’s birthday. The steak was delicious and the expresso martini was superb. One thing that was disappointing s the side I ordered the carrot glazed carrots they were tasty but for $12.50 I thought maybe we could share but it had one carrot that was quartered. We will be back I just know not to order the carrots next time.

    I was overwhelmingly impressed with this restaurant from start to finish yesterday on Valentine’s Day. My husband and I had never been there and I made reservations 2 weeks in advance. This place is so classy. The service was awesome, the meats were totally amazing and so flavorful. The salad bar contained such beautiful selections of vegetables, cheeses, fruits, combinations from different cultures…soo fresh and delicious! The dinner was accompanied with very tasty mashed potatoes and fried bananas with condiments for the meats. Book this high class restaurant for your next special day…you won’t be disappointed!!! And, the desserts were heavenly!

    Exceptional Dining at Dakotas Prime Steak & Chop House Dakotas Prime Steak & Chop House delivers a top-tier experience with outstanding food, impeccable service, and an inviting atmosphere. Their steaks are perfectly aged, expertly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The grilled asparagus is a standout side—crisp yet tender, with a delicious smoky char and just the right seasoning. It’s a simple dish done flawlessly, complementing the meal beautifully. Service is attentive and professional, making every guest feel special. Whether for a special occasion or a well-deserved treat, Dakotas is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
