Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co. - Wausau

After two decades of culinary adventures in the Wausau wilderness, we finally hit rock bottom. Picture this: gravy with more lumps than a poorly mixed cement, a burger so overcooked it could double as a hockey puck, and bread so dry it made the Sahara look like a water park. The highlight? Waffle fries with a sauce that, frankly, deserved a better companion. The establishment screams old money charm from the outside, but step inside and it's like auditioning for a role in the next big mystery podcast - and not in a good way. The online menu paints a Michelin-starred fantasy, yet the reality is a one-hit wonder you'd rather not have on your playlist. Kid-friendliness:

Ordered a hamburger, the bun was so hard, you can knock on the table with it. My coworker ordered a chicken pot pie, the top of it is to be baked with the rest of the pie, it wasn't. It was an add-on. This was a piece of breading that must have been frozen and placed on top and microwave. He said it was so bitter, he couldn't eat it. His roll was just as hard, if not worse than mine. The waitress brought me a new bun to the table to have me switch it out. She couldn't have taken it back to the kitchen and did it for me? The 2nd bun was just as bad. That did it for me. We both said we're leaving. The waitress looked shocked, When we first got there, we asked for a table, and we were told they didn't have any available. There were 6 people in the restaurant at the time. Sat us at the bar. Horrible, I would never go back. I would give it less the 1 star if I could. Anyone who would say this is a good place to eat has never gone out to any place good.

Wife and I were there for Friday fish fry and it was good. Ordered coffee with my meal and coffee was COLD. I asked to have it heated and the waitress brought it back as it left. I ordered a second cup and also arrived COLD! So don't look for a warming cup of Joe at Great Dane...

Soooo I ordered fish fry.. Great Dane doesnt disappoint. A bad review here isnt necessary because they always are top notch. Visiting from Alaska Im super bummed beer cheese soup is no longer on the menu as it has been like a major fav of mine forever buttttt the fried plantain is definitely a great addition. They are super cool to let me me substitute for those. Love the vibes and the food is what I tell my Alaskan friends about everytime I go home thanks guys for all you do
