Went tonight 7/23/25 for the first time and had the best barbecue ribs around.
The staff were all friendly and stayed on top of our drinks and actually showed they care about their customers.
Definitely will be back to try other menu options.
****Went back tonight 9/26/25 (2nd time)not such a good experience I walked in ahead of my wife told them party of 2 and was told they would be with me in a minute. Not a problem, the problem was another party of two walked in after me but ahead of my wife and I was told they would be seated before us because they were both there. I told the young lady that my wife was about to the door and she replied “ sorry they don’t like for me to seat you before you’re both there. Turned around and opened the door for my and told her we will be going somewhere else for dinner.
****Needless to say to say KT Smokehouse got my $50 tonight and probably will not go back to Dakotas or recommend them to anyone else.

My food sat in the window for a good 5 minutes and then it was taken out of the window. We waited another 15 minutes and then the food came out ice cold. When asked how everything was, I told our waitress the food was cold and she offered to warm it up in the microwave. Gross its chickens tenders. She did offer me a box. I drove 45 minutes to eat here.

The staff was so beyond friendly and the food was fresh/tasted AMAZING!!
We were the first diners to arrive for lunch and there were no other cars, so our expectations were not high. HOWEVER, that changed as soon as we walked through the door.
First, having a meal at Dakota's Restaurant is like sharing a meal with your grandma - excellent food and beautiful souls serving you. The ladies (and I saw a gentleman in the kitchen) are all sweet, hustling, kind, and attentive to your every need.
I had the Mushroom Swiss Burger, 100% Angus Beef, and when I saw "chips" as the side I was anticipating a bag of chips - but these were homemade and DELICIOUS! I had their sweet tea, which I could have drunk a gallon.
I had a bit of my sister's Chicken Fried Steak sandwich (she got it sans bun) and it was HUGE and so tasty! Her baked potato was loaded and baked to perfection.
The ladies serving were plentiful and touched base to make sure we had everything we needed. They said that they appreciated our visit and hoped that they would see us again. I have to mention that our bill was beyond a great deal!
I left feeling wonderfully full - my tummy and my soul.
What a completely delightful experience and I will be back soon. Oh, and the entire parking lot and the dining room were full to bursting by the time we left. I guess the word's out!
We ate here a couple of days ago, and both of us were impressed with the food and service. I particularly enjoyed my lite order of beans and cornbread, along with a senior menu of catfish and okra. I also had apple cobbler and ice cream for dessert. The young waitress was very sweet and efficient. We definitely are planning to come here quite often from now on.
