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

    Among many elegant menu items, one will find all the South Dakota specialties : Chislic, Buffalo/Bison Steak and Burger, Fried Bread (free), Kuchen, and so much more! Everything is a delicious delight like no other.

    This place was fantastic! Great food, great service, and excellent value. Unlike most higher end steakhouse's, it came with sides. I got the tomahawk Cowboy ribeye and it was perfection. And it was only $75 with a salad and baked potato. That's half of what it would cost where im from. Hands down the best meal we had in South Dakota.

    Great food! Stopped by on our visit from NC to SD. What made the visit special was our server Danica. She was very sweet and attentive. We had our 6 and 4 year old with us and she treated them as if they were the royal guests of honor! We will go back there because of her!

    Food was somewhat bland and by the end of the night, my husband, daughter, and myself had all gotten sick from something we ate.

    We came to Dakotah Steakhouse for father's day dinner and were disappointed. It was not the experience we have had in the past at this restaurant. We got an early reservation for their opening time at 4:00 PM since nothing was available between then and 7:45 PM. We placed an order for 3 steaks, no appetizers or special requests, at least by 4:30 PM. By the time our meal arrived at 5:30 PM, there were still many open tables and it did not seem like the staff were overrun. During the 1-1.5hour long wait for our food, our server did not check in or acknowledge that there was such a long delay. We were about the settle the bill for our wine and leave when our food finally came. Again, no apology for the extreme wait. Our melas were also not the quality we had previously had at Dakotah Steakhouse. The steaks were overcooked and tough. The sides we ordered - broccoli and wagon wheel potatoes - were cold. While we might have asked our server for help, we had little confidence in a speedy resolution and had plans for after our dinner. We will think hard about visiting again.

    We sat at the bar to have dinner. Dustin and Sheridan took great care of us. The entrées all come with soup or salad and an ample side dish, making the entrée price well worth it. The wine by the glass list offers good wines at a good value. The food was fresh and good. The fry bread (complimentary) and the mac and cheese are delicious!

    After asking several locals where to find the best steak in Rapid City, Dakotah consistently came up, and they were correct! The sides, sauces, dressings were all incredible and made in-house, which was evident. The filets were cooked perfectly as ordered, and the toppings did not overwhelm. Our server, Brandy, was lovely, excellent at her job, and gave us great recommendations for ordering, as well as some fantastic things happening around town. She helped make it one of our most memorable meals of the trip!
