Dawson’s was recommended to me by a friend. i needed to take myself on a date for painting since my husband was out of town. I never dreamt that a filet and crab cake could be this FANTASTIC. Broccoli is my favorite veggie is was done perfectly. (Which I never get at other places). My margarita was perfection. Best part of my my whole experience was my server JOE!! I felt like was his only table and he was popping to other tables all night. THANK YOU JOE FOR MAKING MY 1ST EXPERIENCE AT DAWSON’S THE BEST.

This is my 'go to' place. Consistently good food and always great service. Diverse menu for lunch and dinner. Great salads, steaks and the prime rib on Friday and Saturday has been to die for lately. Well maintained, clean and a great local hangout. Recommend

Hearty food was shared with great friends. The portions are huge. The spinach artichoke dip has a lot of cheese in it and is very rich. The portion could serve 6 people easily. We ordered 3 portions for 6 people, so we we're stuffed. The calamari portion was very large also, but we ate it all, because they were soft and meaty and went well with the red wine. Our friends ordered meatloaf. It was really good too.

We visited on a Tuesday and we're the only people in the restaurant and still got mediocre service. We did enjoy the food we ordered. I chose the barbecue sandwich and my wife got some sort of large salad and we were both happy with the quality and portion size.

From the moment I walked in the door, I could tell this was going to be a great experience! All the staff was sincere and friendly, warmly welcoming me and taking care of me quickly. Even in the middle if the week, they were busy.For dinner, I enjoyed the Caesar's salad with what tastes like homemade dressing-it was outstanding!Dawson's signature french onion soup shouldn't be missed, either!I ordered a half slab of ribs, and regretted not doing the full slab. They have such great flavor, so be sure ti have sauce on the side. I was too full (or trying to be good), so i skipped dessert, but what I saw looked amazing as well. Dawson's hit the mark on every level; I'll be back.

The food is so delcious but my main issue was the service. They are really attentive and good with their regulars and you can tell the obvious difference in that. I had an issue where i ordered a pasta and the website clearly states that all pastas include a side salad but I didn't receive one and when I mentioned this, my server Ron said the website was wrong and brought me back a menu to prove the difference. I understand his point but a discrepancy with the website is not my mistake and needs to be corrected not scolded because I mention it. Also it was very difficult to find parking at a reasonable distance which is a grip because it was 15 degrees outside on this day!!

Best spinach and artichoke dip we've ever had- no chain restaurant can compare. Generous portion meals. Clean tables and subtle decor. Six person booths available. Family owned (another location in B'burg). Highly recommend and we will be back soon.

my waitress Joe really was a good influence on our environment, and he gave us good food and he excepted me bringing in my stale bread. he has glasses , he is a nice nice man. Very humbling experience period. He brought me a refill on my soda and it was very delicious and it made me feel like I was welcomed in this restaurant. It was a very crisp Dr Pepper.

When you think of the show Cheers, you can insert Dawson's. This place truly offers that feel where everyone knows each other with it's familiar faces and cozy space. My favorites include their crab cakes and their horseradish crusted sirloin. You will also be satisfied by their hands breaded tenderloin and there salads featuring house made dressings. I am a big fan of their blue cheese dressing.

Bartenders are always great here. Food is very good. Their calamari is the best I've had around here. A little on the pricey side but worth it. Hard to find parking but if you don't mind walking a little ways you can usually find something.

Excellent service and great food at one of the oldest spots on Main in Speedway. I had the meat loaf and I couldn't more highly recommend it anywhere else.An absolutely great spot to sit outside on a summer or fall afternoon and enjoy some good food and beverages.

One Star only because I can't rate it a ZERO. Attending a meeting last night (03/10/2020) I ordered dinner, a hamburger, 3 other members of our group came in AFTER I had ordered and got their food while mine NEVER and I do mean NEVER showed up. To the restaurant's credit I wasn't presented a check either. The only saving grace in an otherwise TERRIBLE experience at a place where the food isn't all that great anyway.

We visited on a Thursday evening. Be sure to check out their half priced martinis on Thursdays! They have a huge selection. The bar area was busy and delayed initial drink service when we first arrived. The service was extremely prompt and friendly the remainder of our visit. We split the 14oz ribeye. It was cooked exactly as ordered, had great flavor & was very tender. Side salads were good & the baked potato was large. We will return.
