What People Are Saying About Dakota Roadhouse Corp

Citysearch
The Scene – If the Marquis de Sade had been commissioned to design an urban redneck bar, he just might have come up with something like this. How else to account for the working mousetraps nailed to the bar-top at regular intervals? Or a machine that offers you the chance to snatch a live lobster with one of those moveable-claw contraptions you find in side-shows and amusement parlors? – – The Draw – Serious drinkers will be glad to know you can get a bucket of Bud to keep you company while you play a game of table-top hockey, shoot a round of pool or spend endless…

Owner is a huge DBag.

I went to Dakota Roadhouse after the NY Yankee parade to meet friends of mine. Clearly, everyone had been drinking since about 11AM. A friend of mine went outside to have a smoke, and upon walking back in, the Owner who is an old, grey-haired, overaggressive dude says my friend can't come in because "He was too drunk." He wasn't. He was drunk, but definitely showed no signs of being "too drunk".
I can't fault the guy for his intentions, but his judgement and aggressiveness was just absurd. I went outside to check on our friend and help him find a cab. He asked me to get his bag from inside, and followed me into the front door. The owner flipped his lid on me, and kicked ME out for helping our friend to go home. I nicely tried to explain that i'm helping him to get a cab, and he accused me of tresspassing. I've never left a rating on Citysearch, but NOBODY should support this bar. The owner acted completely inappropriately to both me and my friend, who were nothing but cordial to both the patrons and the staff all day.
- Pros: There's oxygen in the place
- Cons: Everything Else

don't expect too much..
by dibattista at Citysearch
- the dakota has great burgers and the foosball table is top notch, albeit not well lit - that's it for the upside which is still enough to warrant 4 stars.
- happy hour specials are spotty.. they might not have the beer you like.. the bartenders look good but remember, they're there to make money.. and don't bring kids there as a mishmash video filled with offbeat 'pron' and gross out video plays in a loop when a big game isn't on..
- gone are the days when golden tee, big buck hunter, the lobster claw & normal pool tables adorned the eclectic interior. it's now two black light [read: crappy to play on] pool tables and the aforementioned foosball.. but they still have cold beer, and the burgers keep bringing me back.
- Pros: foosball, beef
- Cons: clientel

Do not eat the empanadas
by bank_info at Citysearch
The empanandas contain some sort of laxative. If you must have the empandas make sure you have access to a nearby bathroom and don't count on using the toilet there.
If you choose to attend the Dakota Roadhouse for happy hour please make sure to empty your bowels before stepping foot in this establishment. The toilet has recently been replaced by a orange cone that stands about two feet tall.
