Always a great time and great food! What makes it better is the service. Always kind and smiling, which adds to the atmosphere. Our server HAYLEE was the best! Food came out at the same time, hot and tasty with a smile.

The food was excellent. The people I dined with had each been there before and we all agreed we had great meals there each time.

We love the Dakota! We enjoy sitting at the bar OR the dining room! We go wherever there is space, and we are always taken care of. The food is great and the prices are always shockingly low when we get our tab. The male bartender (cannot remember his name) is especially impressive! He seems to keep the bar running well, especially when they are busy.

Friendly staff and people. Best Crab & Casino Stuffed Haddock I have had! Just when you think it couldn’t get any better they serve a Lobster Stuffed Haddock with Butter Cream Sauce

It was the best garbage plate I've ever had, and I've had many. The mac salad is great, and the meat sauce actually has a kick. Awesome job.

Went here for the first time. I was extremely surprised ! The food here was awesome. I've had Gnocchi everywhere and was expecting the same thing. No way. This meal didn't have red sauce. It had the best tasting chopped tomatoes with olives, sweet peppers, onions, peas and more and the seasoning was delicious. The chef is excellent. Must go back again and try others. It's fantastic. Go there!

Great bar/restaurant, has lots of great food options and is a great place in a small town. If your visiting the area, or live here and haven't gone here you must!
