If you live in or around Madison you'll end up eating in a Great Dane a couple of times a year like it or not. It's kind of a default restaurant for many people. Maybe the beer is so good that people just have to go there... but the food is at best average. I wouldn't make a special point of going to this or any of the other GD locations because I'm local and there are so many better options .... unless it's for their Sunday brunch which is better than most.
