About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Neighborhood gem
We’ve always believed that dining should be a social occasion, a time when friends, family, and coworkers can enjoy great conversation over a great meal.

We believe in supporting our local artisans and staying connected to our Black Hills community. At a time when the area is growing and expanding, we are striving to keep the flavor of the region alive.

Inspired by the history of this area, both the aesthetics of the building and the diversity of the menu are true to our local roots, something no nation-wide franchise can duplicate. Certainly, there are other steakhouses out there, but none like ours.

From the first design to the actual construction, we have focused on creating a balance between upscale dining and a casual atmosphere-crafting a chic steakhouse where the kids are welcome too.

The rest is easy-buy the very best meat possible and prepare it correctly.

Named "Best Restaurant in South Dakota" 2015 by Business Insider

    Great food and service. Our server, Justine, was lovely. She didn't rush us and allowed us time to enjoy conversations with our friends.

    This is an excellent steak house. I had the bison filet medium-rare and it was quite good, but a little bit overcooked. Compared to steak houses I've been to in the Denver, CO area, Dakotah was a much better value for similar quality, and in some cases the steak at Dakotah was much better than in Boulder. The server could have been better, less cocky and more educated. It took the man almost ten minutes to bring wine glasses to the table and to pour the bottle of wine we brought. Someone ought to teach him how to pour a bottle of wine. Otherwise, he was a good guy. Overall, a really good place for steak, but not perfect.

    Good food but our poor server was working more tables than usual. She still did a great job. The food was cooked well and presented nicely. Great experience overall.

    Everything was very good, from service to our food. I highly recommend the walleye, it was perfect. Also try the buffalo satay for a unique dish. Beer and wine menu was very good and offered a wide variety to choose from.
