Best Oktoberfest Party Anywhere!

by DPSTUDIO

What an awesome experience!! We drove down from the Flint area this past spring to experience some traditional German culture. What a treat. The food was excellent! The menu has an outstanding variety to pick from at very reasonable prices. The bar has a large selection of German beer along with a full complement of domestic products and mix drinks. The most enjoyable part of the visit however was the entertainment and atmosphere. Dave Slivinski from Frankenmuth was the band that played. They did a fantastic job of entertaining and provided a dinner theatre feeling to the eveining with a great combination of German and American music. In addition they had "accordion karaoke" with some guest vocalist from the audience and featured a 15 year old drummer that was awesome. We had such a great time that we went back a few weeks later and brought back some friends. The band was different, the Sorgebrechers played and also did a very good job playing German music.

During both visits, the service, food, and entertainment was excellent and would highly recommend visiting the Dakota Inn for an evening of fun especially during Oktoberfest season!!

Prost! Cheers!

Definitely Worth the Drive

Absolutely fabulous food, service, beer, and atmosphere. It is in a pretty rough part of town, but they have gated parking area with a guard on duty. The music is great, the food is wonderful, and you are sure to have a great time. Check it out during Oktoberfest, they have so many different German beers, and bands. Guaranteed that you will have a much more fun and filling meal then @ Frankemuth.

Check the hours on their site before making the trek down there... www.dakota-inn (dot com)

WE LOVE IT!

Fun, Food, Great Drinks

This is the kind of place where everyone really knows your name ... it's family-owned and it shows.

The singalongs are HILARIOUS! and make this place so much more than your typical German biergarten.

The food, in my opinion, is delish - especially the potato pancakes! If there is a heaven, those pancakes would be served on the buffet at every meal. Imported German beer and friendly service make this restaurant a must-do.
