Stopped by this location at 7 pm tonight(Sunday, 6÷5÷16) because it was right by my hotel and the reviews looked pretty good. I sat at the bar area at a counter overlooking a shuffleboard table and mounted tv right next to it. The dining area at and around the bar area was almost completely empty. The bartender took my order and was very helpful. Ordered the jerk pulled pork tacos with a side of rice and mashed potatoes, a lemonade, and chocolate malt. The jerk pulled pork tacos had a decent flavor… rice was decent, and mashed potatoes were good as well. The lemonade was great and the malt was pretty good too. Nothing was exceptionally fantastic. I’m sure that during a peak time on a better day with a lot more traffic, the atmosphere would have been much better.

If you want a textbook lesson on how to run a restaurant pub, you need to visit this place. I really wish Unilocal had individual categories in rating places, they don’t so I’ll break down my review into three categories. 1) Service — 5 stars Normally, I’m a little leery about places that have high school kids hosting, but this place everyone is very well trained. Everyone I was in contact with was polite and courteous. 2) Atmosphere — 5 stars The place wasn’t tacky and the place was clean, I mean EVERYWHERE was clean. Bathrooms, pub area, outdoor patio and even the bar area was spotless. 3) Food — 5 star Ok, the food here is «spot on»! Excellent recipes prepared technically perfect. I strongly recommend their cheese curds and Thai noodle bowl! Finally, just another added bonus about this place is the fact it’s an amazing micro brewery. Their Amber ale is simply heavenly. If want an incredible pub experience, definitely go to the Great Dane!

Not my first nor my last time here. Excellent micro brewery, and terrific food(not just pub food).

Good selection of beer. Awesome sweet potato fries! Waitress was super helpful and brought shirts and sweatshirts to the table so we could see them before we bought them.

My Mom, Aunt, Brother and I came to eat dinner on Thursday night 2⁄18. We had Beau as our server and really enjoyed the service and menu knowledge he provided for us. He had all of us laughing hard with his great personality which meant so much to me as we had just come from my Grandmother’s funeral that day. The food was fantastic as well but as a fellow server I appreciated the excellent service from Beau and the way he unknowingly was a bright light at the end of a very dark day for our family. Thanks Beau!

GET the meatloaf. OMG. Great ambiance at the bar. We chose to eat there since it was busy and it was 1 ½ hrs. for a table. Great choice! Superb service and got to try a few different brews. Will come back next time in town. Thanks, Wausau!

I wish this restaurant existed when I lived here. Tonight I had Falafel in pita bread — good, cup of potato bacon soup — very good and beer bread w/honey butter — to die for. I will continue to visit this place whenever I come to Wausau.

I’ve been to the Great Dane in Madison and now this one in town. Every time I come, I always receive great service from the waitress and bartenders. Always enjoy the conversations with the workers and the beer is good. However, I wish they had more beer selections. I always just get appetizers and they are the typical mediocre bar food. I give them 4 stars because I know I can always come here to grab a good beer and relax after a long day of work.

Great service and atmosphere. The poutine was amazing, but the rest of our food was mediocre. I had the wings and my husband had the brat bacon burger on a pretzel bun. Beers were descent.

I’ve only been here once so far and I’m already in love! It was late at night and the atmosphere was so great I could live there forever! The beer bread was amazing as well and I love that you can see the machines threw the window! Really love this place, best in Wausau.

From the outside in a snow storm, Great Dane strikes me as an English pub, a beacon in the storm. We had a few of the beers, poutine, and the texarkana burger with sweety potato fries and loved them. The ambience is high end and accessible simultaneously. We had great service sitting at the bar. Hopefully we’ll be back next time we’re at Granite Peak.

Great tasting food which doesn’t resemble bar food. This place prepares their food similar to the manner an upscale restaurant would prepare their food. Their sandwiches and steaks are awesome! I’ll be back for more!

Get the cheese curds, fish tacos, crisp calamari and(if it’s Friday) fish fry! Also get their crop circle wheat, which tastes like a fresher version of blue moon. After living in Wausau for a number of years, Great Dane became one of my favorite places to eat and drink. While they don’t have that many TVs(for sports), you can’t beat this place for march madness, if you come here early enough to secure a couple of seats by the bar(in front of the TVs). Service is typically good, but like most pubs and restaurants, it can be hit or miss depending on who you get. On a reunion dinner yesterday, we had great food, great drinks and great services. I’ve missed you Great Danes!

My husband and I were traveling to Northern Wisconsin and needed a lunch place. Found this great pub right off the highway. Cheese Curds were delicious! Beer was great. The Back and Tan cheddar burger with buffalo is one of my favorite burgers ever. The Alpine grilled cheese is so much more than grilled cheese! Server was helpful and friendly. Great place!

Took my family there today at noon at there wasn’t 20% full. We ordered and it took 1hr 25 minutes for us to get served. When our meal arrived, my son’s scrambled eggs were cold and steak was full of fat. My wings were not fully cooked and were not good at all. I wouldn’t waste $ 85 at Great Dane again.

First off, location is easy in and out as it’s close to the highway. There are always plenty of parking even if my usual friends and family of 30 should end up there one day with no reservations. The diversity and quality of food that you get from Great Dane to other area restaurants is definitely better. I would say the foods are seasoned well and cooked properly. I’ve had their cheesy onion soup, to the prime rib, their pizzas, and avocado burgers, fries, a few mixed drinks and tab beer. Nothing to complain about. It’ was«good food» but nothing to sing and dance about. For the area, it’s a nice joint to sink your teeth into. My friends are regulars and the wait staff seem to be friendly and attentive with everyone.
