THE LEGEND OF DAKOTA STEAKHOUSE

In 1929, the Pierce Pennant Oil Company built a way station† along Route 66 in Wildwood, Missouri.  The Big Chief Hotel consisted of a restaurant, gas station and 62 cabins surrounding a magnificent park and courtyard. 

The world was bigger then, distances more daunting.  Flying was a dangerous luxury of the rich.  A few hundred miles a day in a car was rough going given the state of automobiles and roadways.  Travelers stop and gather at places such as Big Chief across the country.  Babe Ruth sits just a few tables away when in town with the Yankees.  The notorious bootlegging gang Egan's Rats convenes to divvy up their ill-gotten gains.

Si Hensien, the first manager of Big Chief, checks up on all his guests, making sure everyone gets "a square deal, very well fed and what they want to drink."  Si would pass away many years later at the ripe age of 105.

Time moved on, Prohibition came and went.  The world erupted in war.  The cabins served as housing for munitions workers during the 40's. Four people could share two beds since they worked 12-hour rotating shifts.

Song and television cemented Route 66 in American History during the late 50's and early 60's in what appeared then to be Big Chief's last hurrah.  Falling into disrepair, the cabins slowly disappeared and the main building housed a variety of odd and different businesses, including a mantle company and a guy who was going to make a fortune selling, of all things, worms.

Salvation came when a local businessman bought and restored the building to its original Spanish-mission style.  It was decorated with authentic western and Native American artifacts and from ranches in the Dakotas.  After restoration, the building was designated an historic landmark.  Prosperity smiles on Big Chief once again.

Now, we proudly present the best American Steakhouse cuisine around with a promise to follow old Si's tradition. 

And the Legend continues...
