They had very good food here, and I've never been disappointed yet. Their mac 'n cheese with a soft, warm pretzel is one of my favorites. I've always had friendly service, and never felt rushed. More

Went with here with my family for the first time and everyone really liked their dishes. The service was really good, nice atmosphere too. My son and his girlfriend frequent this restaurant all the time and the rest of us would definately go back again. They are a micro brewery, have pool tables and darts upstairs. We didn't have time... More

A little noisy with a long wait to table at dinner time. But, good beers on tap, and fabulous food. I had the Reuben sandwich - which these guys really know how to make. Large helping of real corned beef, with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and grilled to perfection on marbled rye bread. Came with choice of sides. I made the... More

The Great Dane is usually spot on so maybe today was a rare miss, or maybe the Fitchburg location just isn't as good as the Downtown location. Whatever the case might be the fish was awful. The fish itself was good, but the outside tasted and looked like leftovers that had been reheated in the microwave. Fries were barely warm... More

Traveled in from the west coast and found this place open at 9PM in the evening when many other places had closed down at 8PM. Great pub for families. Mostly burgers and pasta on the menu. Local brews. More

The Great Dane is our favorite restaurant in the Madison area. Where else can you get a side of plantains? Lots of wonderful choices of pub food and interesting dishes you never see anywhere else. More

We arrived as a party of four, two adults, an active two year old and an infant, awaiting one more, arriving after a fourteen hour drive. We were seated after a reasonable wait and our last member was seated as soon as he arrived. Service was attentive and patient. Food was satisfying. More

Overall; 3.70 Our final stop on the great beer and pub tour, and certainly the best and most creative food of the bunch. So good in fact, we arrived at the airport early, so we could eat at the Great Dane in the terminal. Food was just as good (just not as many choices), it was more expensive (DUH, it's... More
