Tony and I happened to find this restaurant by accident based on the snow storm we were trapped in. I just happened to GPS nearest restaurant and this Roadhouse was the closest place to rest from the storm and eat. We were greeted immediately and pleasantly surprised how nice this restaurant was! There was no signage on the roadway, so we found it literally by accident The service was good@ the food was great. Tony loved the outside fire pit for smoking. He ordered half rack ribs with Baked potato and Mac n cheese and was extremely happy! I went with the loaded nachos, Great choice Definitely going back again when we are in the Jackson Ohio area. read more

Service is great. The food is horrible. My steak was absolutely way overcooked. I asked them for medium well with extra seasoning. There was absolutely no seasoning and it was burnt. I believe charcoal would have been better, but the environment is very clean and friendly. Unfortunately the cook is just absolutely horrid. My suggestion would be as get a better cook because every time you come here, the steaks are wrong they used to be good so I'm not sure what happened. Let me be clear. The service is absolutely amazing, but the steak is just horrible. read more

Service was great, onion loaf was good and ribs were solid. I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw but that hit or miss anywhere. It's a lot of food so come hungry. read more

Wife ordered the fish basket, and she removed over done bread on the fish, only to find some of it undercooked (aka raw). I had a steak salad with balsamic dressing. The steak was quite chewy, the dressing just not right - I can't pinpoint it but while it tasted like maybe it had balsamic vinegar in it, there was too much of something else, maybe sugar. Just visiting the area, and honestly there aren't a lot of choices in sit down restaurants, but we wouldn't come back. Wife and I agreed Taco Bell would have been a better choice. Do NOT recommend. read more

We stopped here for lunch during our travels. The restaurant was packed during lunch time. Our waitress was very attentive. The atmosphere was comfortable and not overly noisy. The restaurant is noted for its hand cut steaks, ribs and hamburgers. The menu also features a large variety of items from salads, soups, appetizers, bbq, sandwiches and sides. We ordered the half of bbq chicken with 2 sides. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, all very tasty and tender.. Food plated nicely, good portions, and reasonable priced. We would certainly stop here again on our travels. read more

Do not get the steak. $32 for a $5 ribeye (no exaggeration). Very disappointed. Bread is good. Cinnamon butter is good. Steak is terrible and ridiculously overpriced. I barely ate any of it and I usually eat 2 meals when I go places. Definitely wasn't 16oz either. read more

Dakota's Roadhouse - 16oz Ribeye - Steakhouses Near Me - Jackson, Ohio

This afternoon wife and I were out taking a long drive , stopped in here blindly not knowing what to expect. We had a great server (Jacob) took good care of us , very attentive. Our app was good , the egg rolls were a beautiful golden color . They were very tasty . Not made in house but good . I ordered the 16oz prime rib , honestly one of the best I've had . The flavor of the prime rib was outstanding, barely use any horseradish was no need. Actually was shocked at the star rating of this place ! Only suggestion after washing potatoes salt them on the outside a little. A read more

Looking for the vibe of Texas Roadhouse without the annoying clapping and happy birthday singing every 5 minutes? This is the place for you! Been here several times and had a great experience each time. Pricing is good, food is good, biggest chicken fingers you've ever seen & great ribeyes and sides! One of our favorites to go to in Jackson! read more

From the outside in, Dakota's Roadhouse will transport you down South and make you feel warm and invited like a real country home should. I started my experience with Mrs. Susie's Margarita which was strong and not too sour, just like I like 'em! I shared their Almost Famous Onion Loaf with my husband, which was less loafy and more onion ringy but still so very delicious, especially when you add the southwest ranch sauce for a little razzle dazzle. The downfall, which was probably more of my fault than Dakotas for not ordering steak or ribs, was the Prime Rib French Dip. It was just mush on mush, the bread wasn't toasted for a contrast and it just wasn't very tasty. I would love to come back and try something else because overall the atmosphere, drinks and other food was pretty good. read more

Great food! The rotisserie chicken and steak are both good! Had Morgan as a server and he did a fantastic job taking care of us.

Prime rib was excellent. Great flavor and cooked just right. It was a great find for an out of towner. Service was awesome. Very friendly and great conversation. read more

The food is usually good but not always. I imagine there is a lack of care when over half the lettuce in my side salad is from the base of the lettuce head. It is by far the most pale salad I've ever had. When I worked in the food industry my rule of thumb was to only sell a quality item that I myself would want to eat, this salad falls short of both those standards and I fail to see a reason a competent staff would ever serve food this quality, even something minor like a side salad. I gave 3 stars for overall experience but I would give tonight a 2. Thanks for attending my TedTalk. I came back and changed my review from 3 to 2 stars after looking at the other salad in my order. My review is still based off overall experience here, not just from tonight. I was being generous with the 3 star review but was swayed otherwise. read more

Food has definitely improved over the last couple of years. Impressed with the staff, ambience is sports bar with a lot of TVs. Overall, very impressed. read more

We were in from out of town and it was a very busy Saturday night and we have a large family. They told us 45 minute wait but it wasn't nearly that long. I overheard the hostess mentioning that a server had called off. No one freaked out, they just moved someone people around and kept rolling. Food was delicious. Our server (Nicole) was absolutely fantastic. We will definitely be back! Thank you! read more

First timer... food was great as well as the service... recommend to all to stop by and check it out.

It was fine...nothing great, nothing terrible. The girls at the hostess station were pretty lethargic when I entered. My server was good. The food was OK. I wish I had more to say, but it was fine...just fine. read more

Compared to a Texas Roadhouse would have rather been at a Texas Roadhouse. Tried to support a local restaurant driving through but 3 out of the 4 meals were not good. The fourth meal bbq ribs were flavored well. Paid way too much for this meal for a family of 4 to be disappointed. read more

Service was lacking , ribs were cold. Overall experience was good. Salmon patty burger was very tasty. We also had loaded fries appetizer which was fresh and delicious. Would return, but need better servers. read more

Your average steak house. However, they do have a nice prime rib offering. They offer some chicken selections as well.

I ordered take out, $45, order a steak salad in my order, 2 croutons, harly any cheese and the smallest amt of actual salad I could imagine, you get ripped of when you order to go because you don't see your food until you get back to the hotel.....extremely disappointed read more

Wow, had a great meal tonight. Everythimg was perfect that Includes our server (Timmarin sp?)? Our favorite for onion loaf, Prime Rib (awesome) and loaded sweet potato!!! We come weekly from Chillicothe for the prime rib. Well with the trip. Thank you last week Taylor for addressing a issue with our order. He jumped on the opportunity to fix the order immediately with no hesitation. A note for other restaurants. Jack and Barbara read more

The food was excellent and the service was great I have been here a few times before and the management has changed since I was here last I will definitely come back. read more

I ordered a steak and it was the worst steak I had ever had in my life. I wish I was joking when I say it smelled like a dirty bathroom. The taste was even worse, it left a taste in my mouth so bad it ruined anything else I ate. The "Manager" took the meal off that was uneatable but offered nothing else. She even smelled the steak and said the same, even threw a pan away because of it. Then she never came back, had to ask for her again to get an explanation of why it was the way it was and she ended up walking away after her saying I don't know what else I can do, to my reply you are the manager. I will never eat here again. read more

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. read more

We were all four impressed with great service and even better food. On our way home from the Newport Aquarium we stopped in and ordered sirloin tips, fish and shrimp basket, ribs and the prime rib. Everything was great and sometime we'd love to come back! read more

It's like a knockoff Texas Roadhouse, the building, the decor and peanut barrel look just like Texas Roadhouse but the actual steak is not quite there yet.. We came to Jackson about a month ago for work and the restaurant choices aren't really there, so in a way I wasn't really expecting a lot from this place but I also made a mental note that next time I would drive 30 miles to a real Texas Roadhouse. I had the 10oz ribeye and it looked really small on the plate. It's cooked a perfect medium rare however the flavor could be better. The baked sweet potato was the bomb but it was so small as well. Husband had the cheese burger, it was not bad except the bun was on the soggy side. Decided to give the dessert a try and ordered cheese cake - I wouldn't be surprised if they get their dessert from Walmart next door. Oh and we also ordered a half rack of rib to go and that was really good, maybe we will go back just for that but not the steak. read more

Have given 5 stars in past sorta disappointed as each time I come quality is worse than last!

Last time for my daughter and I we won't go back read more

We went the Saturday before mother's day the service was terrible and the food not good. Add injury to insult the prices were too high. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The hot food was room temperature, the orders were wrong all six of us left unhappy. read more

Place was off the beaten path. Peanuts at the table and you can throw the shells on the floor. Keno with TVs all over for sports. Food was decent. Service could be a little better but the people are nice. Think they need more help at the bar. Went back and service was worse. Food was acceptable. Had ribs and sweet potato (burnt). Out of a lot of sides. Bar was dirty. read more

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. read more

the food was overcooked and it smelt terrible. i don't recommend this place to anyone.

I usually eat here 4 to 5 times a month. The last few times has been bad. They were out of prime rib at 3 on a sunday with only 10 cars in parking lot. More waitresses than customers watching football. The seater/ greeter asked " can I help you? " Hello it's a restaurant. The food was terrible and cold. I hope it gets better or they will be out of business by spring. Dont run it into a rooster's. read more
