   The restaurant must not have anticipated such a robust crowd on the eve of July 4. I don't want to blame the waitress, but our wait time was ridiculous. Our appetizer came after we had started the meal (a trip to salad bar). Then, when finished with appetizer (somewhat room temperature for mozzarella sticks) and the salad we waited a good 30 minutes for the meal. My chicken dish was fine, but my companions' steaks were not sizzling; one said it was cold upon arrival. The whole evening was a disaster, and if my friend hadn't flagged down another waitress to request our check, we might still be sitting there. I've been to Dunstan's many times and never was the dinner this bad. I doubt I'll go back again.

   Dunston's is an institution. If you want a break from the summer and a great steak, Dunston's is the place to go.

   Throw back restaurant with salad bar, great bar, tv's on sports, wonderfully priced steaks and sides and a full bar with strong drinks.

   We love going to Dunstan’s because of its 60’s old steakhouse vibe, complete with a trip down memory lane to the salad bar. The steak is reasonably priced and cooked to perfection on a wood burning grill right next to the salad bar. The smoke welcomes and lures you in from the back parking lot. Reservations are encouraged as it was packed when we went at 7:00 on a Friday night.

   Staff are so friendly and steaks are cooked perfectly. The salad bar is great. Real bacon bits, large bread croutons, freshly shredded cheese and all the fixins of a great salad bar. Looking for a fun smokey experience, Dunstons is it!

   The service was good. Our waiter did everything to try and make everything good for us. The food was awful. There were nets flying over our food. I feel like I waisted my money.

    Dinner was excellent as always but I ordered the 5 oz filet. It was supposed to be medium. It was done and extremely crisp on the outside. My husband ordered 9 oz medium and it was perfectly cooked. Salad bar and vegetables were perfect.

    We went for our annual Father’s Day dinner. A no-frills classic, Dunston’s is one of our favorites… and the classic salad bar! Cocktails were excellent as well. Adding to our great night, we had exceptional, attentive service from our server, Brooklynn.

    Food is good but not as good a value as it used to be. My steak was a bit dry and we were overcharged for a bottle of house Cab (menu price was $25 and we were charged $30. Ambiance is definitely “1950s old school steakhouse”, which is ok and still has a loyal following. Wish they had a better ventilation system since we always leave with our hair and clothes smelling of smoke! Service is a definite standout here, cordial and professional on every visit.

    Old Highland Park institution. My salmon was excellent but the kids’ steaks were overdone. The ambiance is pure 1970s, which is kind of a kick, but they REALLY need to update their ventilation system. The kitchen grill made the entire restaurant smell like a bonfire.

    I loved this place so much / supreme RETRO 1950’s . Super reasonably priced & a fun energetic vibe. This is NOT an intimate date night kind of place , it’s I want to go out & be part of the party kind of place .

    Did not disappoint. Fried shrimp with baked potato and green beans. 1/2 price wine night so had a bottle of Far Niente-Dunston's is always consistent with the steaks but was very happy with grilled and fried shrimp too! Our go-to restaurant for week night meals.

    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!
