Dakota’s Roadhouse of Jackson

Disappointed to arrive on New Year’s Eve about 1:30 p.m. — and the place was closed. Sign in the door said open @ 11:30. ???

They have coupons and specials which is nice. This has been a local stomp for a few years.
We go here because it’s really the only restaurant in its category in town other than Arch & Eddies.
The food is OK, not great anymore. Staff try’s to be friendly, many of them fail. It hurts the ones that are truly friendly.
You are not here to do me a favor, I pay for my service and food.
Management seem to try hard, but the food often comes out cooked to the wrong temperature, is completely the wrong steak, or in many cases service takes so long you could have gone to the store, shopped, gone home and cooked it faster.
Also no more bean soup or Cesar salad, weird things to take off their menu.

We finally just gave up on this place. The food used to be great, but has really gone downhill in the last year or two. The first bad experience we just chalked it up to a bad day, but after the second and third, we gave up and won’t be back. Service was horrible and the food was overlooked and cold like it had been sitting there a while. Don’t waste your money or time on this place.

This may be the best restaurant in Jackson. I usually order the filet medallions and a bed of rice pilaf. The free peanuts and bread with honey-​butter is a nice touch. I’ve never left hungry.

I was in town for a family event. We called ahead to make Dakota aware that we had a large family group (20+) that was planning to come for dinner. They were kind enough to situate us all together. Staff were very friendly and responsive. Everyone enjoyed their meals.
Menu has typical steakhouse offerings like other franchises. They offer a selection of other options for those who prefer something different than steaks. Tonight, I had their full slab of ribs, the fully loaded sweet potato and asparagus. The ribs were very meaty and tasty. You might ask for additional barbeque sauce. And the sweet potato … covered with a brown sugar, pecan topping … more, please. The asparagus, admittedly, were overcooked and «mushy». Portions were ample. I felt quite full by the time we left.
Our two servers were amazingly attentive. They kept our beverages filled and were very responsive for our requests of more sauce or customized dishes. They were accommodating to split the bill up by families and apologetically made adjustments when the wrong drink or side had made it to someone else’s bill.
In all it was a good dining experience and would stop in again should I be back in town.

Excellent baby back ribs… meaty, tender, flavorful and plentiful. Good service as well.

7÷20÷13 prime-​rib 12oz, was kind of tough and not trimmed well, excessive connective tissue.

I am a fan of Dakota’s and have been here a few times. It is your typical chain steak joint. Good food friendly service, and TVs. The last time I was there I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was delicious. I have never been disappointed here and will continue to go when I am in Jackson.
