Come here at lunch, dinner, late night, or for brunch on the weekend. It's always good and they have something for everyone. Fish tacos are to die for, watch out for the habanero sauce!

Oh my god! Whomever dreamed up the chocolate and beer flight is a genius! Gorgeous flavors and unbeatable beers! My favorite was the Crop Circle Wheat with the lemony, spicy milk chocolate!
Joanna MerrillMarch 1, 2015
Good beer, and very extensive menu. I've never really been wowed by the food or the service, but no complaints. Check out the downstairs bar if you are looking for an intimate atmosphere.

My boyfriend and I are patio enthusiasts and this may be one of our favorite patios ever! Definitely recommend checking it out!
Lindsey HodsonJanuary 15, 2016
I always order falafel when I'm here and it's great! If you find yourself here in the summer, the sunken outdoor patio is amazing. Oh and the beer is good too!

The entire menu reads well; it was hard to decide. I went with the Mediterranean plate with salmon. So much food! I was more than satisfied.

Today all of the Madison locations will be closed by 5pm with the exception of the Downtown location closing at 4pm. We are having our employee holiday party. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience

The something planked salmon is amazing, so is the calamari. Didn't try the sandwhich salmon thing but what I had listed above was damn good. The photo is the left overs of my food.. Notice no salmon

Yummiest meatloaf, with garlic mashed, paired with the German Pilsner. Free pint for dad( me) on Fathers Day. Great (Dane) end to a short vacation.

I love this place. Great tuna tataki, wings, amazing beer and everything else. Awesome staff, I can't say anything bad about this place.
Cooper SmithJuly 9, 2012
Start with the Cheese & Artichoke Dip (if you're craving more, order the Dane Burger, which comes topped in the dip). Goes great with a Crop Circle Wheat in the summer.
Gerrit MarshallAugust 10, 2014
Try all GDane locations. Great beer and wings. Main menu is wonderful too. A must stop while in Madison.
Jumaria Perkins (Copeland)October 12, 2014
All the beers are brewed right there, freshest draft you'll ever have! And the beer battered cheese curds are an absolute MUST!
Men's Health MagNovember 17, 2011
Fresh brewed beer. Billiards without daiquiri stains. Food served on platters. No wonder the states mandate closing hours, or you’d never leave this place. Start with Peck’s Pilsner, go from there.
Christine TurcotteJanuary 2, 2015
Food was excellent. Great beer...get a flight so you can figure out what growler you want to take home!
Jenny MackinJune 20, 2013
Love the outdoor atmosphere, food is amazing, great vegan options! Always go at least once every time we are in Madison!!

The cheese curds are alright, but the beer is great and they have pool. Plus the more you drink the better their cheese-curds taste.

The poutine appetizer is worth the trip alone. Burgers are good, but I'm not a huge fan of the in house beers.
Matthew TaubMarch 10, 2016
Decent beer and food but a great outdoor area. Also have a good number of pool tables and a locker to charge your phone!
Moriah MaeJune 7, 2012
Everything that I sampled was fantastic, but surprisingly my favorite thing was the pretzel bread that came as a side to the mac 'n cheese.
Three Olives MadisonFebruary 13, 2012
They always have my favorite Three Olives in stock... Triple Shot Espresso! (Just don't tell the other 20-some flavors) Order it up with cola or in a cocktail with Three Olives Cake.
Great Dane Pub & Brewing CompanyJanuary 22, 2014
FREE 12oz mug of DaneBeer with each order of Beer Steamed Muscles $10 Downtown location only. today (Wednesday) only.

The blackened Mahi Mahi is delicious and the outdoor courtyard is lovely at night. Great service & great beer too!
Sara SylvesterOctober 30, 2013
Great food but I wouldn't get the cheese curds...at Great Dane they're basically mini mozzarella sticks. Save the calories for the old fashioned cheese curds
Mike EspositoAugust 21, 2015
Loved the steak! Good prices. My waitress was amazing, totally on point and quick. 🍴😋
ParintachinJune 5, 2011
This is an excellent place to compare factory meat vs. grass-fed. If you go with someone else, order the same burger, one regular, one grass-fed and sample both.

The mac n cheese is a moderate portion size of cheese and carb
Tom MakinneyApril 15, 2017
Poutine with their ham made in house with the cheese curds is delicious

What they call the Indian Tandoori Chicken is nowhere close to the actual tandoori chicken of India, but it's still awesome!

Go for the burger + brat-patty on the brat bun.
Kurt HerbrechtsmeyerAugust 8, 2014
get a sampler so you can taste the wide variety of brews before you settle on a favorite

In summer, be sure to visit the outdoor seating in the back.
Yoli ZMarch 4, 2017
Best wings! And great value pints during "hoppy" hour from 4-6 pm. Only $4
Jeff SetzerOctober 22, 2013
The Low Country Shrimp & Grits is amazing! One of my top ten favorite dishes anywhere.
LizJune 4, 2013
Their cheese curds are the best I have ever had. The west African chicken peanut stew is AMAZING!
Michael SteffesAugust 24, 2013
Crop circle is a great refreshing summertime beer abc I recommend the pot pie or Mac and cheese.
Joanna FlammMay 30, 2012
For a local, sustainable, grass-fed dinner, get the Sustain-a-burger, or substitute the same patty on to any of their other burger creations.
Brad LeegeAugust 22, 2014
Outdoor Beer Garden easily makes this the best Great Dane location.
Nehpetsmai KaedJune 28, 2012
Fish tacos are Delicious and filling. And the hummus is perfect
Craig RoloffSeptember 18, 2012
Wonderful location; tip: don't get stuck at the bar, explore the entire building, especially the outdoor courtyard.
Scott SpauldingAugust 22, 2011
Outstanding Cuban sandwich, great selection of beer, sit outside, great venue to enjoy lunch and a drink or two!
Tim McIlreeJanuary 29, 2012
If your not hungry, but everyone else is ordering food and you want something light, order the kids fruit cup. Only 50¢ and consists of a substantial serving of kiwi and pearapple
Todd WeisrockJune 19, 2015
