I live near the Dane in Fitchburg and have a few friends who work at other locations and I can see that they are open during this horrible snow storm. I cannot believe that any employer would want or expect their employees to risk their safety to go work in their restaurants. It’s evident that the higher ups are money hungry pigs who don’t care about their employees. I will not be returning, ever. More...

The menu is diverse enough to find something for everyone. The seasonal featured drinks are always delicious too. The staff are well trained and it helps make every visit to The Great Dane a great one!

Every since my time in Mad Town and now in Wausau - Love this place. Best beer around - great people and awesome environment.

I've been enjoying the beer here since the doors opened in 1994. I've always been able to find a beer that well-suited my thirst the day I went for it, and my standard is their Scotch Ale. A friend of mine stopped by my place, and after sitting around chewing the fat for a while, suggested we have dinner together. Various options were discussed when I thought of The Great Dane, which I hadn't been to recently, as I'd been living quite far away from it. We agreed to drive up and either have a beer while waiting for a take-out order, or eat at the Pub is the noise level and table room suited us. It did, and we ordered and ate and drank at the main bar. My friend had a glass of German Pilsner and enjoyed it. I had my usual Scotch Ale, and found that the recipe had clearly changed since I'd last had it, but was still a knockout. My friend's New London Bridge Fish Fry was fine, and my Porchetta was pretty darned good. More...

Dinner was excellent; we were impressed with the menu. We also had lots of fun with the shuffle and dart boards in the lower lounge.

The Dane’s beers are on point and the food is pretty damn good. Large pub fare menu with some cool twists and they brew their beer in-house. Great staff, great food, great beer, great atmosphere. More...

Great burger joint. At first I was boarding when I asked if they could serve my burger 'protein style' and the serve asked 'what's protein style. ' Then I was surprised when the server brought me a gluten free menu and found they have gluten-free buns. The All-American burger was delicious. More...

The tap beers were nice especially the crop circle. Food was decent, we got wings, fries - the usual. Service was awesome! I’ll definitely be back.
Tried the pub burger with fries lately. It was awesome!

Stopped here for lunch. Had a bowl of beer cheese soup, the all American burger with pub fries and a cheesecake with berries for dessert. Also had two cider beers. One was infused with cbd oil. I am full, relaxed and content. Enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I also received stellar and attentive service from my waitress/bartender. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys sports, pub fare and craft beer brewed on premises. More...

This place is always busy and for good reason! Went here after the dinner rush on a Saturday night and was promptly sat at a table. The server didn’t pressure us to order and made us feel welcome. We ordered the boneless wings appetizer. Great Dane, these were perfection! Perfectly cooked chicken that was lightly breaded and glazed in mouth watering spicy sauce. I’m coming back for those wings time and time again! I also ordered the small nachos with chicken for my entree. I’ve been to several places that offer nachos and this was the best I’ve had in Madison. The crisp fresh tricolored chips are topped with flavorful and evenly distributed toppings. Keep up the good work here and the other breweries in town that serve food should get up to your level of standards. More...

My first time to Wisconsin and I wanted to try a spot that offered a good experience and food. The Great Dane introduced me to the fantastic Wisconsin-traditional: cheese curds. I would have had a whole plate to myself! I ordered the Brat & Bacon Burger on a Pretzel Bun... this thing is a beast - two patties (one beef, one brat), bacon, cheddar, caramelized onions, and mustard. I’ve never had anything like this and it was absolutely amazing. The service was very friendly and checked on us often. The food came out at just the right timing. Overall a fantastic first culinary exposure to Wisconsin for me! More...

I have been going to the great dane for years and there food and service has been outstanding the last few months. Today I had Health as my bartender and he served me the best bourbon old fashioned I've ever had. The food is always consistent and delicious. My favorite is the high point harvest bowl! More...

If you sit upstairs this restaurant has great views of Madison. I have always had great service here and the food and beer has not disappointed either. The German pilsner is excellent and is way better than Pabst Blue Ribbon. And if you like Guinness try the emerald Stout as it is far superior. More...

The Great Dane, specifically this location, is easily one of our favorite places in the area! The fish fry options are awesome! My cod was amazing. My wife loved her Mayan Chicken Wrap, and our whole family enjoyed the fried cheese curds. The Scotch Ale and IPA are both very good! We will be back! More...

Went with a friend she had chicken pot pie, and said it was very good she watching liked the pretzel stick and applesauce that came with the meal. I forget the name of the entree I had. My entree had Tofou of which I am not a fan of but the rest of the meal was very good. I had a Toddy which was well made. I did not get the CBD added to the drink but it can be added for $2 if you are 18 years old. Our waitress was very nice and I noticed that the other waitresses were nice to their customers also.

I am a recent transplant to Fitchburg and Madison, and I have to say that The Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co. remind me of a favourite establishment back in Colorado. Service was excellent (Justin was fantastic!), food was delicious and piping hot when served, and the entire atmosphere was alive and well. I may have found the new staple for 'dinner out'. More...

The Dane is a solid place. Outstanding beer selection, solid menu with lots of good choices and the food is always good. An added bonus is the excellent service and the folks behind the bar are great at remembering their patrons. It makes you feel welcome and it's a comfortable place to hang out for a couple of brews and to watch UW Badger games. More...

We had a family gathering (14 people) on a Friday night at Great Dane. Everything was awesome. We made a reservation and the table was ready on time. The server was great. Very attentive and accommodating. There was one small error with an order and it was quickly and completely corrected. We ordered a wide variety of food, all of it was delivered to the table at the same time and everyone was very pleased with their meals. Definitely plan to go back again. More...

The food is great. Beer is decent. Service is always good. But I do have a gripe about a recent interaction. I called about having a group come in for a work party, and when I asked to speak to a manager when I called, the hostess/receptionist asked me my name and why I was calling. I explained everything and she said he (the manager) didn’t have time to talk about it / didn’t want to take the call. Needless to say, I was annoyed. It made planning our work outing difficult. The fact that he just didn’t want to take the call caught me off guard being that it didn’t seem like good service. Well, fast forward to later that evening. We just “show up” like the hostess said to do on the phone and low and behold, not a table in sight that could accommodate. #feelsbadman More...

I love the Great Dane. The menu selection is a bit unusual, you have your normal bar foods but with some different items too. Everything I’ve had has been fantastic and there’s something for everyone. My husband loves their beers, I don’t drink beer so can’t personally speak to that. It’s a huge restaurant with plenty of seating. The only downside to me is it is pricey and sometimes somewhat consistently our service has been slow. More...

I have been to this location a handful of times and the service is always good. I like their salads (but would skip on the mac and cheese) and really enjoy their beers. More recently, my sister organized a brunch for my Bridal Shower at the Great Dane and we had a wonderful time. The contract outlines the hourly food & beverage minimum, and although I felt the rates were a bit high, it was worth the experience. The room we were in was seemingly the farthest from the buffet area and required some navigation to get to and from for our group of 22. The brunch buffet itself was impressive with so many options that really provided something for everyone. There were eggs prepared in a variety of ways, multiple breakfast meats, plenty of fresh fruits, an assortment of breakfast carbs, and so much more. I also noticed that as we approached the noon hour, they brought out ham, mashed potatoes, and other more so lunch foods. They also had tasty alcoholic and non-alcoholic breakfast beverages to go along with brunch. I would recommend the Great Dane for lunch, dinner, or brunch. More...
