    We frequently dine at Dawson's, the reason for that is because the food and service are always great. The menu has enough variety for everyone to have something they like. Our servers are always friendly and efficient. We pick this restaurant usually when we're meeting friends and family for a shared meal. Everyone is satisfied!

    Breaded tenderloin and side of vegetables were very good. The Rueben sandwich and chips were disappointing Corned beef was tough and the1/2 cup of potato chips were stale Service was very good as usual

    Best choice for date night on way to concert at Clowes Hall. Their Saturday night prime rib special is absolutely delicious. The steak is tender and flavorful - and cooked to perfection. My husband always gets the beef stroganoff which has a savory sauce, tender noodles, and fresh mushrooms. The only thing keeping me from five stars is the upcharge for a dinner salad instead of allowing it to be a side choice. Definitely not a deal breaker though. Make a reservation today for Dawson's!

    Celebrated a birthday- really lovely! Food was amazing, service with Quinton was above and beyond. He was kind, addressed all our requests and smiled! (Its winter in Indiana- we need kind smiles even for “older” ladies) Highly recommend!
