The Great Dane is a staple local brew pub and restaurant. It's larger than I originally expected so even when they're busy you're usually able to get a spot quickly. As expected for a brewery, they have a nice beer selection. More surprisingly, the food selection is pretty good. They do an above average job with standard bar food (burgers, sandwiches, cheese curds, etc), but also have some more up-scale items. I've had their burgers as well as the portobello sandwich and both were very good. On my most recent visit I got a little more adventurous with the peanut stew (a hearty vege stew in a peanut sauce) and it was excellent. I may have to start moving beyond the standard bar food.
