| - My wife and I joke that I think the only times we eat at the Great Dane is when we have company from out of town. When we think about a good local place to take our friends and family, this is the first place that comes to mind.
That's for a good reason. It's probably the best representation of the Madison culture you can find out in the "suburbs". Microbrew, good food, good atmosphere. You won't leave disappointed.
I still haven't found a menu item I don't like. My wife loves the Wisconsin Mac & Cheese (do we just call it Mac and Cheese here?). I'm a fan of the "Big 10 veggie burrito" and their buffalo burger, while a little dry because it's so lean, comes with enough of a sauce that it makes up for it.
Ever try their Sunday brunch? Good heavens. I was in a food coma for the rest of the day. Everything is so good, and so filling. Just remember to get there as soon as they open, or else you'll end up with a long wait for a table.
Oh yes, the beer. My wife loves the Crop Circle Wheat, which blows the name brands like Blue Moon out of the water. I'm a fan of the Peck's Pilsner and the Devil's Lake Red Lager.. The Red Lager is on par with what you'd get from a Killians. The Landmark Lite is just that, light. Like Miller Lite light. If that's your thing, that's cool. But why would you come to a microbrew for a Lite beer?
I've never left disappointed, and neither have our out-of-town friends.
