I had complained about 3 months ago that our Valentine's Day dinner was a disaster there, but, wanted you all to know that the management contacted me and my wife and made things right with a free dinner and good service. I've returned there several times since then and so far service has been above average and the food is good. read more

Wow. We traveled to Marion this past weekend to see family and decided to try an old stand by favorite. This place has gone downhill exponentially. I ordered the large sirloin medium rare. The outside was completely burned. My wife and sister ordered the stuffed mushrooms and both said that there was very little crab meat and the flavors weren't great at all. My other sister ordered the chopped steak which had some chicken pieces on the plate. I cannot say we will be back. Too bad-their food used to be top notch read more

Always love coming here gor the service and the great food, We usually just come on Wednesday, but what the heck, we came on Saturday. New host, nice kid, but then he left us with a bible quote...not interested, felt this was totally not appropriate. Thinking that maybe this is not the kind of place we want to g read more

Steak was tough & Overcooked. Not seasoned well, Ive been there in the past with good results. I will never go back. I dont recomend it

Service was ok- our hostess seemed tired or something and was not the friendliest. Our first server got overwhelmed since we were a party of 5 plus an infant so they gave us another server who was really nice. Their rolls were flavorless and cold and the butter was good but didn't really go with the boring bread. They were out of salmon so I ordered the apple bourbon chicken which was ok but on the bland side...the Brie cheese was more like mozzarella and stringy or gooey or whatever, the apples were canned I could definitely tell and cold - but I did get huge baked potato though. Also their salad was just iceberg lettuce a tomato wedge and one slice of cucumber ...the blue cheese salad dressing tasted meh like Kraft salad dressing perhaps. My husband said the ranch on his salad tasted kinda gross. We went to this place years ago and it was delicious but apparently not anymore. All in all I feel like this place is just cutting corners and skimping on their ingredients or something. I totally understand prices have gone up so maybe this is why. read more

We were with a group on a tour of the Harding home, library and memorial. The organizer planned lunch at Steve's Dakota Grill Our waitress was overwhelmed and dropped each dressing down the back of one of the diners as she tried to squeeze into the corner carrying 2 entrees. Accidents happen, I get that and the be restaurant comped the meal for the gentleman wearing the ranch. The food was subpar and I would not recommend this restaurant! I ordered a grilled chicken salad. The lettece was pulled directly out of a GFS bag of prepared salad mix. The restaurant added 3 slices of cucumber, some red onion and a few croutons. The grilled chicken was not warm and had no flavor. The ranch was awful. Also tasted like cheap GFS dressing Rolls were served tablesude with maple butter that was tasty and regular butter. But the rolls were not warm and tasted like frozen dinner rolls. Imy husband ordered the lunch serloin. He said an excessive amount of liquid smoke was on the meat. The meat was tough. The mashed potatoes were instant. I like to eat local and thisvplace disappoints. We will NOT return; read more

I take my mother there almost every mother's day! We usually sit at the bar! Thw bartenders are always great! The food is ALWAYS AMAZING!!!

One of the cheapest places to get a steak from at around $12 for an 8oz sirloin with salad and potato. One of the best burgers I have had in this area as well (but the fries need work, they really suck). Everything is fine for what it is though some of the bigger "signature" steaks I occasionally get at dinner they have had issues getting medium-rare right. Never had a problem on the 8oz but of the 6ish times I have got the big lodge ribeye once it came out blue rare and the most recent has a lot of just burnt charcoal spots. read more

Absolutely horrible food. Good price martinis! Good service! But that doesn't make up for the heinous crime that was committed in my bathroom. I ordered the stuffed talapia and let's just say it stuffed my toilet. I would rate this a zero but that isn't possible. Would not recommend going here if you want to keep your bowels. Thank you read more

chicken was burnt, tasteless, place has went to crap the last 8 months. would not recommend

It was fantastic. I had the filet and it was cooked exactly as I had hoped. I also had the onion strings and the were hot and not dripping in grease. The baked potato was perfect I couldn't ask for a better meal. For 23 dollars it would cost twice as much at other places. Our server was delightful and attentive even though she had several tables. We never felt neglected read more

Ordered my burger med to med well and politely told my order taker. After almost 20 minutes, she brought me a well done brick with zero juices. The old hag of a manager was lazy and confrontational. This place is poorly managed and has almost zero consistency. Shameful as some of their food when cooked properly is decent. read more

I used to dine out On weekends and then Biden was elected and I can only afford to eat out once a month, so it is a special event for me. I ordered 8 oz prime rib. it was prepared perfectly. however I know the difference between choice and prime beef. I was definitely eating a chewy old cow, not prime meat. Service. the place was packed And they only had one bartender Making drinks for an estimated 70 customers. I played two games of free cell on my phone before she got around to me. ambience. it was loud. and then a BBW Plopped her double wide In the chair right next to mine. And began a conversation with another woman 15 feet away. both were yelling. which caused the rest of the conversations to elevate to be heard above her. the crescendo became that of a rock concert. I turned off my hearing aids in search of peace. Then the BBW Began tapping me on my arm while I was eating trying to start a conversation. it was all I could do to not stab her with a fork by that time. the bartender intervened and told the BBW, I could not hear her. thank you bartender. Not a very pleasant experience overall. read more

the beer was frozen served in a can, the bake potato was burnt, the steak was fatty and overcooked, the ff's were cold, the only thing they didn't screw up was the salad. read more

My family liked the Mansfield location so we figured we'd try this one. The staff was friendly and helpful, the decorations seemed pretty outdated. For how steady it was, the noise level was pretty good. The food though wasn't very good. My brothers steak seemed like it was half raw and half well done. He ended up getting sick from it. Most of the food was bland. The fried pickles were amazing! They were fried pickle spears. I also got the peach margarita with extra lime. Honestly didn't taste any peach but the margarita was good. The food that my other family got was supposed to be well done but looked burnt and dry. read more

Me and my wife went to dinner and our waitress was renn at first then we got Alexis She was awesome but my wife ordered spinach artichoke dip and chicken Mediterranean and I got a burger of course it was awesome and I would recommend it every time plus my wife had a margarita that was AMAZING!!! read more

service is great. steaks could be a little bigger and thicker. nice clean restaurant.

Very nice evening. A couple of tasty drinks at the bar and some good (cheap) strakhouse vittles. read more

Steve's Dakota Grill - Happy 4th of July! - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Ohio

My Husband came up to visit me a few weeks ago. I am out of state, taking care of my dad. We went to Steve Dakota's for the first time. It was great. From the food, to the Staff, our waitress, God Bless her. I cannot remember her name. It was clean. We moved up north from Florida because of my parents. Living near Orlando and Daytona Beach the first 25 years. Then near Tampa after that... we were blessed to have very very nice restaurants to eat at. Check out Steve Dakotas if your in the area. read more

I gave it one star because I could not choose none. Ordered filet mignon and pork chops. One of the two Caesar salads had zero dressing. Like literally none. The French onion soup was fine - weird a dinner roll was used as the bottom bread, but it was not bad. The onion straws with our items were definitely good, but the meat. It. Was. Awful. Hand cut filet - maybe, but not well cut if that's really true. Color was awful looking and taste - so chewy. We really don't think it was a filet and we asked to be sure and the woman acting as manager gave us a whole spiel about the owner and hand cut so we just said thank you and left it there ... then the pork chops. Those are hard to mess up, and yet somehow, so overcooked that I literally could not stick a fork through it. No kidding. Looked great on the outside but zero juiciness. Our server was absolutely lovely. We tipped her very graciously. It makes me sad to share this review, but it's not worth your time or dime as I don't think this was just an off night. read more

I was so upset that I am on a special diet for a few weeks because my husband ordered one of the best looking burgers I've seen... and he said it was delicious!! We were driving through on our way to Hocking Hills and stopped here for lunch. We were not disappointed. Even my salad was good! It's a very cute place... the only problem was, our waiter never came to check on us. Not once. That's a training issue. read more

This past evening My fiancé and her son and grandson from Texas went to Steve's Dakota Grill in Marion, Ohio. After we each traveled from different parts of the state to meet for a festive occasion, we were treated with poor service and all had food poisoning. The original waitress that greeted us left and we were told she had to go home. We ordered 2 appetizer plates. When the appetizer's were served, there were no appetizer plates. I requested plates and more napkins. after 5 minutes the new server brought cold metal plates and napkins. When my fiancé went to ask for the server, the original waitress was sitting at the bar. Everyone at our table ordered steaks. My fiancé ordered broccoli with her meal instead of salad. We all ordered our steaks medium rare. My steak and fiancé's steak was served was well done, cold and full of gristle. Her son and grandson's steak were raw. We requested that the steaks be returned to the kitchen. They were out of the porterhouse steak that I had ordered. We requested a ribeye steak instead. When the steaks were re-served, my fiancé never received her broccoli. after we left Steve's Dakota Grill, Her son and Grandson vomited several times all night and My fiancé and me were sick to our stomachs all night. Steve's Dakota Grill used to be my favorite restaurant. This was the worst dining experience I have ever had in 65 years and not worth the good money that we paid. read more

The food is great. The service is ok. The vibes and atmosphere of the place is good. I recommend

Ordered on line as I just come home from surgery. Steak price on line said $18 and when we picked it up, they stated it was $25.99. When we questioned this they said it was "old price". I think since posted on their website, they should honor it. Disappointed. Even talking to manager did not help. read more

Horrible food and the service was just as bad. our waitress Stephanie did not return to the table. No drinks were refilled and no one checked in about the food. The table behind us got a piece of cloth towel in their food. The manager was useless as well. Her response was oh sorry! Never again The steak was a poor choice of meat and everything else was cold read more

Visited 04/02/23 I ordered a ribeye steak medium well. Wife ordered New York strip well done. Both came out rare. They also brought rolls that were cold and dried out. Baked potato was way overcooked with the skin like shoe leather. We immediately sent the steaks back to be properly cooked. By the time our steaks came back to us our potato was totally cold. We had to wait approximately 15 minutes for drink refills. This had to be the poorest quality of food and service we've ever had. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE WE'VE EVER HAD. WE WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!!!! GO TO MCDONALD'S INSTEAD BECAUSE THE FOOD IS BETTER THAN THIS TRASH CAN!!!!!!!! WE WILL NEVER EVER RETURN TO THIS DUMPSTER!!!!!!!!!! read more

Steve's Dakota Grill - Medium well done steak? DEFINITELY RARE!!!!! - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Ohio

Haven't been impressed with the food here lately. Ordered a steak medium and it was served well. My significant other ordered the turkey club and it had way too much of the flavored mayo on it. We dealt with the steak since it was still juicy and not dry. Two bites was taken out of the sandwich and neither of us liked it. We ate 3 of the fries. I told server the problem with the sandwich and told her she could take it because we didn't want it. She apologized and asked "Do you want me to see if they can remake it?" I told her no as I had lost my appetite. We was still charged for the meal. They never offered to remove it. Also a heads up for anyone concerned about Covid... They are seating people in booths with just the wall between the tables. If both booths are seated, there is less than a foot between your party and the party at the booth beside you. read more

Before you leave, make sure you have everything you ordered. I am on a road trip and I did not get everything that I ordered. I ordered a half a rotisserie chicken entrée with a side salad and broccoli and all I got was the chicken and broccoli no salad... read more

I was there for lunch on Monday it was fairly busy. I was seated pretty fast. Service was great and I had a burger cooked to perfection. My girlfriend had soup and salad. Salad was fresh and good sized. It was all you could eat but that and two soups she was very happy. The manager stopped by to make sure everything was okay. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

The worst meal we have ever had. We ordered turkey club sandwiches. They gave us the wrong thing then they brought it back with everything thrown onto a sub bun. It didn't even include bacon or tomatoes. We won't be going back. read more

Stephanie was our waitress and one of the finest I've had in a long time. The prime rib was delightful.

A great Steakhouse for a small town. Our waitress made sure we was taken care of. Overall great atmosphere and great food

HECK YEAH! The steak, beef, is great! Can't ask for anything else except for the Hong Kong nearby. Service is awesome, staff is nice. The Ambiance is awesome with mounts of White-Tailed Deer, Caribou, Coyote, Mule Deer, Pronghorn, Bighorn, Brown Bear, and many more! I would highly recommend it! read more

Nice new restaurant. Big improvement over previous location. Order Philly cheesesteak and smokehouse cheesesteak. Both were good but dry. Nice bar, very good, nice service. Will definitely go back but will order something different. Seems like they always have a good special going on. read more

I was dreading my lunch today when I saw the negative yelp reviews for this place, which my clients chose. I had the grilled salmon salad ($9) and tried a part of the dakota burger and french fries ($7). Both the salmon and burger were very fresh, cooked medium rare as we requested, and had the perfect amount of delicious char. The meats were seasoned really well. The fries were crisp and and had a buttery potato flavor. The toasty, warm rolls were served with addicting whipped MAPLE butter (to die for!). I couldn't believe 4 people ate such YUGE lunches with non-alcoholic beverages for $45 after tax...such unbelievably good value! Our server was super sweet and attentive (refilled my water without me asking). The chef (or owner?) even stopped by to check on how we enjoyed our meal and I think our polished off plates speak for on our behalf. The next time I'm in Marion for business, I'm definitely coming here for lunch AND dinner! read more

Steve's Dakota Grill - Grilled salmon salad - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Ohio

My husband and I went here, "For a nice dinner". What a joke. For the money, 29.99 for my filet, and another 18.99 for a very dry piece of hamburger. We are now wondering what this place is using for meat. Burger way overcooked, very dry. Waiter just dropped food off and left. My food steak cooked ok, medium rare, but in no way was it filet, dry, and strange aftertaste. We had to get assistance from other weight staff as ours thought it more important to sit at the bar. My husband had to beg for ice tea refill. I had to get up and get packets, yes packets of mustard and mayo to try to find something to add moisture to his meal. Baked potato was cold from sitting under heatlamp. In no way could you send anything back for fear what would return would be worse. Avoid this place go to Mc Donald's, you'll get better grade of meat, better service, and a better price. And yes I waited tables many times in my teens and have had my own business, this place needs new management, better trained waiters and waitresses . Don't go. Keep your money and your time go somewhere, you aren't waiting on waitstaff to get done hobknobbing at the bar read more

Wonderful, friendly staff. The menu is full of tasty items that are reasonably priced. Very clean and inviting for comfortable dining.

Food was not prepared correctly at all. One person in in our party ordered steak medium well and got medium rare. Service was really, really, really slow. Door to order was 30 minutes and another 45 minutes until the food was brought to the table. Server was also snippy and rushing our party thru ordering, messing up the order several times. Also very pricey. I don't think I'll go back read more

Man o man, why would I think this would get better on the third try. Portabello mushroom burger with half a big ole raw mushroom. I did not enjoy the taste of the burger, tasted like cheap beef. Yuck . Sorry but it will be a long time before I step there again. I need to come back to my reviews, this place has no gotten any better. The garlic potatoes were what I believe to be scooped out baked potatoes that were getting old, there was not a hint of garlic, no creamy flavor. I asked early in my meal to have them replaced with broccoli, there was no sense of urgency on the part of the staff. , I got the broccoli when I was done with my meal. I had ordered bbq ribs and chicken, the bbq sauce was slathered on it without going back in the oven. Stop calling the stuff for the rolls BUTTER, it is not butter. $58.00 plus tip paid for a subpar meal. read more

This place is best described as Applebee's crackhead cousin. Just an odd and unpleasant experience from start to finish. Overpriced and under portioned. Would not recommend. read more
