Steakhouse

Top Tags:

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.

Each time we’ve had the pleasure of dining at Dakotah it has been exceptional in every way. It’s very casual as far as dress….but top notch ambiance and food. Possibly one of the best steaks we’ve ever had….the dry aged rib eye. We look forward to stopping for dinner each spring as we drive from Florida to Montana.

First I will say our waiter was excellent he knew the menu. We had the fried onion appetizer which was excellent. My wife had the prime rib and I the Bison rib both were good. I thought the Kuchen dessert was weak. The ambiance was fine and the tables well spaced.

Cig was our server - his approach was odd. Instead of talking through the menu, he pulled out a bunch of slips of paper with the special written on it, wine list, beer list - and left them for us to decipher. It didn’t seem like he could speak to menu items. There was a loud family in the booth next to us who were not well-controlled… Kids on rolling chairs running into the booth, and loud while we were out for a special occasion. Food was outstanding as usual and we will be back .

Dakotah Steakhouse is one of our favorite places to eat in town. I took my mom and stepdad there for Father's Day. The steaks (ribeyes) were really good...better than last time we were there. The Brussel Sprouts were way undercooked and hard...couldn't eat them. The squash soup was ok, but nothing to talk about. The cowboy hash was a big hit and the ice cream sundae was loved by my stepdad. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu items soon.

The superstar of this location is the service from Trevor. Wedge salad excellent… First time I’ve ever ordered one that I didn’t have to order extra blue cheese dressing. Manhattan Clam chowder fair. Rolls were good but a tad greasy. Baked potato on point. Bacon wrapped buffalo fillet amazing. Tender and tasty… Could’ve done without the bacon. Yummy pomegranate martinis. Definitely would go back

The regular filet and the bison fillet were both not great at all. The taste was poor, flavoring was nonexistent, both meats had fatty goop chunks you couldn’t eat, and neither were cooked as requested. And they were cold. Salad was also gross with soggy lettuce.

Over priced meals. Alpine Inn in Hill City has way better steaks and they are half the price. We celebrated a birthday and the wait staff would not acknowledge the birthday guest yet the host did as the reservation clearly stated what we were there for.

This was the first time we have ever dined at this establishment. Based on the reviews that I read I got the impression this was an upscale steakhouse and that is a stretch. I would describe it as a nice and casual steakhouse. The chairs with the castor wheels in the dining room would seem to me like a hazard and it was very odd to see in a restaurant. The waiter told us the wine & spirit menu has not been updated in 10 years! I would challenge whomever selects the wine to offer more Chardonnay choices or replace the ones they chose. If I may, I would suggest La Crema. It is a nice price point wine to serve and you could charge 100% plus and make a profit. Rombauer would be another excellent choice as a more expensive wine. The prime rib my husband ordered was good though it was a little grisly. I ordered the walleye fish fingers which is an appetizer I chose it for my entrée and it was very good. I wish there were some malt vinegar offered. I wish they would have a half portion size of their onion rings. Unless you have a really hungry table and more than four people there’s no reason to only offer a full order of onion rings. The dipping sauce that accompanied it was very good too. There are many choices for steaks in the general Rapid City area. The exterior does give the appearance that this restaurant is going to be really impressive steakhouse. However, I think you need to update not only your spirit and wine/beer menu but also update the chairs & dinner menu. I would love to see a simple flash fried walleye filet as an entree. Please make your fried mac & cheese creamier. Believe me, it can be done.

We had a great dining experience here. The menu gives you a variety of choices with a number of local dishes. The Three Sisters soup was delicious. Tried the Buffalo satay skewers as an appetizer. Very good. The Walleye is a locally caught fish and was very good. The Kuchen for dessert was also very unique. Service was great and the prices are very reasonable.
