Dakota's Steakhouse

"It’s old school to go to Dakota’s, with its massive underground waterfall and traditional service, but it’s also special. There’s an entire section of the menu dedicated to seafood served on ice, an incredible array of steaks, and the tater tot is a must-order — just trust us." - Courtney E. Smith

"The steak frites at Dakota’s is one of the most under utilized lunch deals in Dallas. This 6 oz. steak with a choice of sauces gets diners entry into the cool underground dining room of this steakhouse. At a place where its easy to spend into the hundreds of dollars for dinner, this lunch can be had for just under $20 (before tax and tip)." - Courtney E. Smith

"This Dallas institution reopened in 2021 and is probably best known for its atmosphere — a subterranean garden complete with a fire pit sand 20-foot water wall. However, it also delivers classic steakhouse fare, including several cuts of meat aged by Allen Brothers and sides like oysters Rockefeller, wedge salad, and loaded mashed potatoes." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy

"Did you know that Dakota’s has a lunch deal wherein diners can get steak frites with a small salad for $29.99? It just might be the steal of the town. I popped in to enjoy the beautiful underground dining room on a scorching day. The serving was small enough to suit lunch very well and was perfectly prepared to medium rare — as expected. It’s pretty empty for lunch, so this is a great spot to try for solo diners or business meetings." - Courtney E. Smith

"For a classic steakhouse holiday dinner, this subterranean steakhouse is an excellent option. It is serving its regular menu so go in for a clams casino or shrimp cocktail starter like a Christmas baller, and then hit the steak menu heavy and hard. Paired with a martini, it’ll put the ho-ho-ho in holiday." - Courtney E. Smith
