For decades, Dunston's Steakhouse in Dallas has served classic steaks and other home-style Texas dishes in its relaxing and welcoming restaurant. The breaded and fried mushroom poppers and the tender calamari make delectable appetizer selections. Some of Dunston's Steakhouse's specialty entrée dishes include fried chicken breast, the grilled farm raised catfish and the grilled salmon, all of which come with sides like our famous salad bar (voted Dallas' best) butter beans, fried okra, baked potato and sautéed fresh spinach and broccoli. Of course, Dunston's Steakhouse is all about top-quality mesquite grilled steaks, like the bone-in ribeye, the bacon-wrapped filet and the New York strip, all prepared to order. Daily specials are also not to be missed and include such dishes as the Tuesday baby back ribs and the Thursday chicken pot pie. Should you wish to end on a sweet note, indulge in Dunston's Steakhouse's Jack Daniel's bread pudding or Key Lime Pie.

If you want an amazing steak at a fair price this is the place for you! The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. The salad bar (can be a side or added on) is full of delicious options including HOME MADE croutons to die for. The atmosphere is one reminiscent of steak restaurants from the past but to me this just added to the ambiance. Highly recommend Dunston's!

I’ve been to Dunstons many times, and I’ll continue to come to this location, but the last few times the smoke in the front dining room has been unbearable. I’m assuming they are aware and I hope they rectify the situation. That being said, the food, the value, the service, the overall quality was just as phenomenal as ever. This is a Dallas staple.

Really smoky throughout the whole restaurant, with really old-school brown dark decor. Short-staffed the night we went, so service was slow. Server was really nice! Food was okay. Brussel sprouts were a highlight.

The food. The ambience. Everything was great. Our waitress Brooklynn was wonderful and attentive. We had no complaints and we will definitely be back again soon! Highly recommend The Barbara drink, bacon wrapped filet, and the cowboy charcuterie board. The banana pudding and hot fudge brownie were great closers to the meal, too.

We love Dunston's and will keep coming back but the front room is too smoky! It has gotten worse over the past year. My clothes reek of Mesquite wood and my eyes burn from sitting in there. They really need to improve their exhaust fans. Also, it's always just a little too cold.

Dunston’s has been a favorite place of myself and my wife for 30 years. The only place still offering a salad bar and steaks are always grilled just right. We are calling friends tonight to set up our next visit in a couple of weeks.

Dunston’s used to be a good value ten years ago. I enjoyed getting a bacon wrapped filet for a great price. The prices have almost doubled in ten years and I can’t say it’s a good value anymore. The inside is very dated. The outside was updated but the inside is the same. Our server was very attentive and polite. That was positive. The food, atmosphere and value is now forgettable.

Had not been for a while, but my birthday rolled around and this seemed to be a nice place for a small birthday dinner. The food was reasonably priced and the service was excellent. We went relatively early, 6 pm reservation and there was no problem parking.

I don't live in Dallas, but I visit two to three times a year. For the past 40 years, I've eaten at Dunston's everytime I visit. I've never had a bad meal. The service is always outstanding and the people who work there ate always friendly. I recommend Dunston's to anyone visiting Dallas.

I read the reviews before booking and Dunston’s sounds like a Dallas staple. I’ve lived here for years, but this was my first experience and I wasn’t impressed. The service was subpar, and for the price point, I was underwhelmed by the food. I used previous reviews to decide on an entree (bacon wrapped tenderloin) and it was not impressed. The person I dined with was also unimpressed with his steak and while he normally cleans his plate, that was not the case last night.
