I stopped in for a pickup order few days ago as I wanted to do take out on a Friday night . The ordering app is very easy and convenient.
Ordered a Texarcana burger and their Cajun turkey sandwich, both with waffle fries as a substitute for regular French fries .
Food was warm, well seasoned a for take it it was very well cooked even upon arriving home .
Texarcana burger is prepared to your preference of doneness . Crispy onions haystacks in between bacon sharp cheddar and a bbq sauce that is not too sweet and ties everything together .
Turkey sandwich is Cajun style and this was my favorite of the two . Combination of juicy turkey breast thinly sliced with a Cajun run not overpowering. Bacon chipotle and melted cheddar add to the sandwich a beautiful flavor profile. Adding the waffle fries as a substitute gives this a crunchy and over the top great sandwich.
I would definitely try this again .
Only challenge is the parking . Restaurant is located on a main road and parking you need to rely on street parking which can be tricky depending on the time of day .
Once you place a take out order the pickup time is very quick which is an extra bonus for the Great Dane !

Dinner with family here was great. Cheese curds, beer onion soup, steak stout pot pie and hot wings all were amazing! Service also fantastic. Great selection of beers of course.

I was frequent business traveler this summer. I stayed at the Embassy Suites around the corner. This was my go to spot 1-2 times each week. The food was delicious and in summer time I really enjoyed the Strawberry tart beer and the pretzel board appetizer. Once summer was over I enjoyed the German Pilsner since I’m not much of an IPA drinker. I highly recommend you order the full size Liter since you’re likely to order more than one pint. I always had friendly hosts and servers. Once college started there were a couple servers that were less than par but I took it in stride as we all were new at our jobs at one point. I dined on the patio garden area twice. I brought my English Cream Golden once and he really loved it too! I highly recommend this place.

A couple of my friends and I stopped in for a late dinner as we were passing through the area. I got the Korean rice bowl and a side of cheese curds. My food was delicious. The rice bowl was bursting with flavor and everything in it was cooked to perfection. The cheese curds were decent, but the chimichurri ranch dressing was what really made them amazing. We dined in on a Monday evening and wasn’t expecting for this place to be so busy and noisy. Nothing bad about that necessarily, it just wasn’t what we were expecting on a weekday evening. Seems like a great hangout spot for college students, as that was who was mostly there. This just made for a very occupied server resulting in less attention to our needs and longer wait times. My overall take on the place is still a positive one. Cute restaurant and a decent sized one, at that.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Beer-Braised Salmon at The Great Dane!
I tried the Beer-Braised Salmon at The Great Dane in Madison, and it blew me away. The salmon was perfectly seared — tender and full of flavor — and the Peck’s Pilsner cream sauce tied everything together beautifully. The leeks and baby spinach added a fresh, earthy touch, and the garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and rich, the perfect side to soak up that amazing sauce.
For only $20, it felt like a fine-dining meal at a hometown favorite. You can really taste the quality ingredients and the care that goes into each dish. Paired with one of their craft beers, it’s easily one of the best meals you can get in Madison for the price.
If you go to The Great Dane, order the Beer-Braised Salmon — you won’t regret it.

Very nice vibe when you walk in. Stephanie was awesome and very helpful in deciding. The pretzel app was fantastic as was the French Onion Soup. We shared a few items but the fish tacos were my favorite. Almost forgot about the awesome Bloody Mary.

AMAZING. Food, beer, atmosphere, dessert – Yes! Go it’s amazing!
I-5 IPA and Peck’s Pilsne
The boneless wings are incredibly crunchy and sooo good! We tried Caribbean jerk and Korean BBQ (sauce on side). Korean BBQ- best flavors!
Cheese curds. Wow that sauce was delish!
Southwest Burger- grilled perfectly medium, so much flavor in the burger alone- toppings were added bonus.
House salad with ranch- the best salad toppings and the ranch is excellent.
Go!! Try if!!!

We headed here with the intention of having lunch before the beer festival and take their comp bus.
So we had lunch here around 11am ish and I had their Baja Fish Tacos. I added an extra 1 for a 3 pack and what a great call I made! They were fresh and delicious! I passed on the beans and some of the rice but the salsas they provided were straight fire!
Time for the shuttle after lunch but whoops, too crowded! So we did a cab and that was fine.
Our server was friendly and did forget a few things but they were crowded but y’all still get a 5 star rating.
We’d def come back next time we are in the Capitol city.

I stopped briefly following a conference nearby with a colleague. Nice atmosphere here, with unique architecture in this historical building. Beer was decent. My only issue, is the lack of novelty for beer styles. I wish there were new recipes periodically.

Sat down for a quick bite. Cheese curds and boneless wings. The curds were classic but nothing too special about them except the chimichurri ranch. That was phenomenal as well as their regular ranch. The boneless wings were really good as well. Service was nice.
