Reviews for Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co. - Wausau in Wausau, WI

The food was really great. No issues with the quality of anything shown here. The Brussels sprouts were great, with a nice... complimentary sauce. The beer batter was nice, crispy and light. The fried chicken, smothered with a Cajun sauce, shrimp,artichoke and sausage was great! It was slightly too salty for me, but eaten with the beans and mashed potatoes - it was great. Nice heat. The restaurant is big, with a variety of places to sit. It would benefit from some renovation, cleaning andlighting improvements. Read more

The good: it is so pretty when you first walk in, our server was beyond amazing, the pot pie was one of the best we've ever had,... the smothered chicken was pretty good too. The bad: we were sat at a pretty dirty table adjacent to the bar where an employee(I'm assuming off the clock) was sitting and having a few drinks while video chatting on and off in between watching videos onher phone with the volume full blast.. it was so loud it could be heard from anywhere in the room.. it definitely took away fromour experience and other tables as well.

Visiting Wisconsin for a week and this weekend place had great food, got the brisket tacos that were better than Mexican town in... Detroit. Our server was so nice she brought us waters as soon as we sat down, treated us greatly. And the beer was tasty. Fastservice. If I come back to this area I will be here faster than you can say ?where should we eat? Read more

We?re there about an hour from closing. The service was great. The waitress friendly and attentive. Food arrived fast. Rueben... was good. Sauerkraut seemed authentic. The bread wasn?t toasted as much as I would have liked. The meatloaf had an oddflavoring - seemed like thyme or rosemary. Not the best. It was ok but we wouldn?t order it again. Seemed dry. Potatoes seemedtasteless. The French onion soup was amazing. Very flavorful. Salad was good too. I asked for blue cheese dressing but theydidn?t have any. They did have the Gouda dressing. Again, an interesting flavor. Wouldn?t order again. The menu was a goodselection. We will definitely stop by again. It?s a nice Irish pub-type atmosphere. Read more

Good food, great prices, ok beers, friendly and efficient wait staff. The waitress was fantastic. There were 10 of us, and she... was a champion. She let us each have individual bills with no problem whatsoever. The food and beers took a while to get tous, but it was busy, and she's had to put our orders in separately, so it's understandable. Not her fault at all. On to thefood. Ordered a flight of beers. IPA, Uber Bock, session IPA, Stout, Porter, and scotch ale. The top 3 in my opinion were thesession, scotch ale, and Uber Bock. The rest were mediocre. I suggest looking up reviews on Untappd to get a gauge if howtheir beers rate with the masses. I found the reviews to be spot on. For food, I had cheese curds as an appetizer, andNashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. The cheese curds were good, served with ranch I believe. TheNashville Hot Chicken Sandwich had a light, thin breading. It's not hot. Not even remotely hot really. Tastes good though. Comes on a fantastic toasted brioche bun, I believe it was. The bun was the best part in my opinion. The food was 'good' ingeneral. It was good to try the place. Read more

Great food and great atmosphere. The pleasant hostess seated us in the Billiards bar where we had a hightop table to eat our... dinner. The bartender / waiter / server handled all of the bar patrons and the tables in the Billiard Bar. He did a fantasticjob and was very attentive to everyone's needs. He made several recommendations that we agreed to. For those who follow myrestaurant reviews, I had one of their own Amber ales which was very nice and was similar to a Smithwicks. The beers served areall their own brands. The cheese curd appetizer was absolutely huge and had a great light batter and arrived within minutes ofordering. Our meals came very quick as well. Food was very good and hot. We had the Porterhouse and Wisconsin Cheddar Mac withblackened chicken. Both were large servings. We have come back to this location, after many great meals since our first time Read more

We are usually great fans of the Dane. However, this last visit was a miss. The pub burger itself was good but the lettuce,... tomato, and onion have seen better days. They still have great beer and friendly staff but they are struggling like everyoneelse with the short staff issues. 4 stars for this visit since our to go entrees, while still good, where missing salsas, hadthe wrong side dishes, and again the burger toppings where old and wilted. Hopefully the next time we go it?ll be back up toit?s usual great food! Read more

Good food, friendly service, but just a little slow. We stopped for dinner on a Sunday evening. I was impressed by the building... and design of the inside. It seemed kinda swanky, but not overbearing and stuffy. Our server was kind, but seemed a littleforgetful. I had the steakhouse salad even though it was a little overpriced for a salad. The kids loved the waffle fries! Mydaughter really liked her Mac and cheese. We would try it again if we were in the area. Read more
