Dakota Diner

Honey, old-school diner. Super server (Ayden). We have been before. Lots to choose from on the menu. Good prices. They played Gunsmoke on the Tv. Nice place and pretty busy.

This is a great all American diner. The service is friendly, the food comes out fast, the meal is satisfying and it is really all you need. We stopped whole road tripping and got a basic hot beef sandwich, but it hit the spot. Soup was fabulous and has all the North Dakota staple foods on the menu. The servers are amazing and so kind. Good prices. Good service.

Good quality and great flavor. Service was fast but had a little feeling we were intruding. Dining area was clean, but could use a few repairs.

Stopped in for some coffee, soup and Carmel rolls. Always great service. Love their soup and Carmel rolls and my kids do too.

Good Home Cooking with Friendly Service. I had the Ruben Sandwich with cheddar covered tater tots plus salad and fresh pumpkin pie. Everything fresh along with sweet tea. Located next to the Tiger Truckstop just north of the interstate, worth stopping.

Great roadside breakfast stop for us. Everybody was happy. Waitresses were great, food was delicious and nicely presented and prices were friendly!

Dakota Diner is a true gem in Dickinson! I stopped in for breakfast and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious — exactly the kind of hearty, homemade breakfast you hope for when traveling. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel right at home. On top of that, the diner is spotless and comfortable, which really adds to the relaxed atmosphere. If you’re in Dickinson and want a great meal served with genuine hospitality, Dakota Diner is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Great food!!! Fast and friendly service! Plenty of food on the plate. You won't go away hungry! Nice family restaurant. A+++

Excellent staff. Treats like you are eating around the kitchen table. Wonderful Western omelette and crispy hash browns. You will not leave hungry

So I was in Dickenson for work and my coworker and I wanted to try something different. So we choose the Dakota Dinner. Im so happy we did. Service was great, our waitress was energetic and answered all of our questions and we asked a lot. I had the (i hope i spell it correctly) Fleischkuechle it was excellent. My coworker had the Hot Beef which she devoured. This place is nothing fancy but it exceeded our expectations for service, food and Ambience.

I was just in there tonight around 7:30pm and your waitress brought me a glass of water and would not come back to the table to get my order. I thought writing a note on this would help however it just came to me that she would probably get a promotion behind this. If I come back there and see her there I will just turn around and leave.

Staying in the area and this restaurant was recommended. Perfect for us because we are towing a camper and plenty of room to park. I ordered the combo omelette and hubby ordered the breakfast sandwich on a croissant. All hot and delicious. Service was great and a clean warm atmosphere.

This place is overrated. It probably enjoys the ratings It does because most of the clientele are locals. The food is OK, not great. Service is warm and welcoming but an element of ADD-like behavior prevails. In some cases we had asked for an item two or three times before it was finally delivered in a context where there weren't a lot of customers needing service. Many of the servers appear over 50 in age and their physical condition may be a factor in service. Recommended. If you rein in your expectations you may find it a delightful stop.

Thought it was a cute place so we stopped. The waitress came over right away and brought water and menus. That was it. People were coming in and they were getting waited on, we however got completely ignored. After waiting 15 minutes and watching everyone else get waited on we walked out and she said have a nice day.

We sat down and 2 other parties sat down after we did. The waitress took their orders before we even got out menu's. After finally ordering we waited 20 minutes before we received our food. Was our first time visiting this restaurant. We shop in Dickinson a lot and we are always looking for new places to eat while there. We would defiantly not go back again. Worst service that I have experienced in a long time.

The remodel is fantastic, really brightened up the restaurant. Food and Service are fantastic, great homemade foods, just like grandma used to make. Breakfast Burrito is super good as was the Chili. Going back soon to try the Liver and Onions. Go to spot for great home cooking

Nice,good,delicious,tasty food and place Nice,good,delicious,tasty food and place Nice,good,delicious,tasty food and place

Usually eat breakfast there which is great. But had dinner there Friday. I had Walleye Dingers which were awesome! Our server was outstanding! They had a soup I won't name (hard to spell and I don't want the secret to get out!) which was wonderfully traditional and yummy! Might look like a "greasy spoon" but it's a great place- worth it if you have to wait!

I wish we'd found this place earlier in our stay! Enjoyed the food and ambiance. There were 4 of us and so we sampled lunch, dinner and breakfast options. If we hadn't had to leave the following day, we would have gone back.

Ok I stopped in Dickinson, ND again. I almost wasn't going to do a review cause I was watching TV in my truck while I ate my dinner to go. This time I had the beef plate.... Stop! This was absolutely one of the best flavors to touch my pallet in a long time... what a great meal.. I had a whole order and ate it all. Side was the boscth soup... like a vegetarian soup with .. it was good I didn't think it really matched the beef plate flavor and was very filling. That was my fault.. could've had a salad... glad I didn't tho the soup was a good experience... the beef plate gets a 10/10.. I was overly satisfied... stop in try it out you won't be disappointed!!!!

I really liked this place, a real oasis off the freeway if you've been putting in the miles or time crossing North Dakota. The truck stop across the way had pretty sad fare. So I lobbied for walking across the parking lot to this place. I wasn't disappointed. They serve breakfast all day. I couldn't resist and ordered the eggs Benedict. The Hollandaise sauce was very good. My traveling companions also liked their food too, a cup of some local soup that I had never heard of, a ND thing, and a burger. I've read the other reviews and can believe that you could receive poor service here, but we didn't fast, efficient and friendly.

Delicious food! Super homey old fashioned vibes. Super rich hot chocolate and super friendly place

Hands down the best food we had in ND all week. The Borscht soup is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!!

really good food! amazing staff! and great atmosphere for a break after a long day on the road!!

The best Hollandaise sauce and the best, most fluffy sausage and biscuit gravy ever!!!

Lost order, when food came out it was cold . Wife's first bite had a hair in it. Definitely bad experience.

Passing through and hungry. Great borscht on a cold day. Only problem was our waitress was clearly ill, and my appetite diminished considerably as she breathed over our lunch.

Dakota Diner has some of the best breakfast I've ever had. Not to mention, the waitresses are incredibly friendly and the service is super quick. What more could you ask for? I am so happy to have visited the magical place.

Just walk out if the blonde/white haired older lady working. Ask for a coke she brings you a water, you ask for extra onions she brings you a pancake..etc.

Unfortunately, there just isn't a lot open late or early in this town. We just happened to notice this place open on the way out of town so we popped in. What was cool were all the trucker seats at the bar. In fact, we might have been the only non-truckers. Ok, a bit of an exaggeration but that's the basic feel of the place. We just had a basic breakfast with grits. Everything was alright and maybe a slight notch up from Denny's but our expectations weren't exactly high going in. What I would suggest is for the staff to either get it together or not bicker or gossip in front of customers. That just doesn't work.

Surprisingly good food from the delicious soup, rolls, potato , vegetable to the entrees. All of them were satisfying and tasty. After a long day of driving we were hungry didn't expect to be so happy with our choice. Thank you Dakota Diner!

Very good!! Clean and nice servers. Hubby had the soup naflah . Something like that!! Anyway.. not sure why not more stars I would say, this is ..close to freeway and a great

Excellent food. Very friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere. Next to a truck stop. Great blueberry cheesecake. Definitely a return customer.

I enjoyed the salad and soup bar and my wife had the club sandwich. Everything was delicious and homemade, and our server was super friendly.

Food was great. If you're going for breakfast you want to indulge in the caramel roll. The staff was super friendly!

Great service from Mary and food was 8.5 out of ten it was tasty with big portions but maybe a little too greasy but I would definitely recommend.

Awful service and management! Counrty rose cafe is best breakfast in town..definitely would enjoy better (as well as price) will never go here again, due to worst customer service I've ever seen

Perfect little diner, amazing breakfast and friendly service. Highly recommend! Best seats at the bar!

All the reviews are lies the salad bar is great service has been a lil slow but over all great place for a truck driver to get a good hot meal

Was actually suggested to try this restaurant by a friend. Must say was a very nice experience even though I happened to go during a lunch rush. Wasn't really sure what to expect the parking lot was full and probably about 50 or so people where already seated. Drink orders were taken quite quickly and a quick turnaround in bringing them back to the table. As well as the meal after my order was placed. Never felt like I was rushed or had to make a quick decision for my meal. Ample amount of time given to be able to place my order even though it was in the midst of a lunch rush. Also have to complement all of the weight stuff they have their act together and know what they are doing from being able to tell you their specials to making suggestions of items on their menu. And by that I do not mean trying to upsell anything. I felt as though if I went into the restaurant in a bad mood I would definitely walk out with a smile on my face due to the hospitality and all-around upbeat mood they were all in. Definitely a place I will frequently return to and would suggest to anyone that wants a good home cooked mom-and-pop meal. I wound up having a nice old-fashioned style chili cheese hamburger with ghost cheese and with seasoned waffle fries left a very happy clean plate.

Let's face it, the place is a dump. It's a diner next to a truck stop with less than mediocre food and service. I ordered a prime rib French dip with fries. There was nothing prime about my meal. A few slices of roast beef shoved on a hoagie with undercooked fries. So the positive? It's a cheap meal. A lot of senior citizens go there for the inexpensive price tag. So if you're driving through and looking for a crappy meal other than fast food, Dakota a diner is your place.

Waitress got my order wrong. Miss communication didn't touch the food ask for burger instead. They still charged me for the first meal. $17.00 for a Frisco burger and fries. I could of bought at Hardees for $8.00 I would not recommend this place the manager was very rude.

This place was great. Large portions of food and decent prices. The restroom was clean as well.

Coffee was a bit weak, but the soup was amazing and our meals were really satisfying (Eggs benedict hash browns and cheesesteak hash browns). Good local trucker place.

Our waitress was very kind and considerate. Food was very good and hot. Food could have came a little sooner. Will definitely check this place out again. Don't know what all the bad reviews are about.

Wow. Well, it's a diner off the highway in the middle of North Dakota, you know? You definitely get the real experience when you eat here. Well, I only ate here once so I'm not an expert. But I believe the chairs at the bar were seats from big rigs, and our waitress looked at us like we were idiots when we asked what the "hot beef" and "hot hamburger" were, and how the hot hamburger was different than the other hamburgers. Like, why was it in a different part of the menu? Apparently it was different. My friend told me I should get the full experience and order the hot beef. I will upload a picture. I have to say, it was not very good. The mashed potatoes were good, but that was about it. Just don't order it. My friend got French toast and eggs and those were fine. I would go with that. We were pretty sure our waitress hated us, but after I told her I liked the hot beef (lies) she warmed up to us. Oh, those Midwesterners. :)

The food is pretty decent, but the service truly is lacking. This establishment is right next to a truck stop so I'm sure they are ALWAYS busy. They should be staffed appropriately. After receiving our check and asking for a box, 20 minutes later i had to ask again for a box and who i asked yelled At 3 other people to grab one for my original waitress to finally bring it over. Stood waiting to pay for 10 minutes before anyone came an assisted me so we could finally leave. Not ideal service.

Locally owned and home Meade food. Breakfasts are great here!

Food was mediocre. Service was horrible. I swear the waitress wanted nothing more then for us to leave and never return. (wich btw she got what she wanted). With service like this I don't ever plan on returning. I still feel sick to my stomach from breakfast. i also was brought food i never ordered and was charged for it.

My boyfriend and I ordered coffee to go with our breakfast. I grabbed a creamer from our table only to see that it expired TWO YEARS AGO. Every single creamer we looked at was expired. Explained the situation to the waitress, she seemed annoyed and just threw away the two that we opened.Would not recommend this place to anyone. They seem long over-due for a health inspection...

Caramel rolls are outstanding. Only had breakfast here but the food is always great. Busy place but worth the wait.

This used to be a good place this is the second time the have messed up my order which I under stand they was really busy so missing the cheese on my hash browns but while I was sitting at the table with my family one of the waitresses threw a wash cloth at the other one after wiping a table and it hits me knocks my hat off I grabbed it before it landed on my food and all the two waitresses did was stand their and laugh never did apologize or anything

I eat here about 50 times a year. Fast service except when a charter bus just pulled in ahead of you. Hard to get a seat on Sunday morning. Great menu, soup/salad bar, bend over backwards service. This is our hometown diner and the locals love it. Just the sort of place I always look for when traveling. If someone offered me $100 and gave me a week to think about it, I'm not sure I could dream up a complaint about Dakota Diner,

Amazing food from locally sourced ingredients. The bacon was fantastic! Not to mention great service. We came to the diner a couple times and we were never disappointed.

You can tell the food is homemade-it's SO good! Love the knoephla & paprikash soups & Indian tacos!

You have those meals and you know when it's good. This restaurant has that at every meal! It is delicious and filling. The other night I had a burger and a chocolate milkshake and it was to die for! They have the best milkshakes and fries in this planet. I live near the diner and I can walk to it and it is just the best!

Home cooking at its finest?!? Only if your idea of "home cooking" is heating up a frozen dinner from the grocery store! I ordered a glass of iced tea of course I find out after tasting it, its not fresh brewed (comes out of the soda fountain). I ordered the fleischkuechle with salad. The salad was a pile of lettuce, a few strands of cabbage, a slice of cucumber and a tomato end. The fleischkuechle was nothing more than one of those nasty preformed processed frozen chicken fried steak patties inside the "dumpling". Overall the meal was disappointing. The last time I had food that tasted this bad was when I ate lunch with my daughter at her school cafeteria.
