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 odd flavoring - seemed like thyme or rosemary. Not the best. It was ok but we wouldn’t order it again. Seemed dry. Potatoes seemed tasteless.The French onion soup was amazing. Very flavorful. Salad was good too. I asked for blue cheese dressing but they didn’t have any. They did have the Gouda dressing. Again, an interesting flavor. Wouldn’t order again.The menu was a good selection. We will definitely stop by again. It’s a nice Irish pub-type atmosphere.

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. Fast service. If I come back to this area I will be here faster than you can say “where should we eat”

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 to us, 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 the food.Ordered a flight of beers. IPA, Uber Bock, session IPA, Stout, Porter, and scotch ale. The top 3 in my opinion were the session, scotch ale, and Uber Bock. The rest were mediocre. I suggest looking up reviews on Untappd to get a gauge if how their beers rate with the masses. I found the reviews to be spot on.For food, I had cheese curds as an appetizer, and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. The cheese curds were good, served with ranch I believe. The Nashville 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' in general. It was good to try the place.

I hosted a bridal shower here. Melanie was a pleasure to work with! Being from out of town, most of our communication was through email. She is an excellent communicator and always answered any questions I had in a timely manner. The day of the shower, she bartended for us and got the banquet set up by herself. I would 100% work with her again! The food was delicious, the small banquet hall was perfect for the size of our shower, and the service was excellent.Besides the shower, I have eaten here a couple of times. The food and never disappoints!

I mean, the bar staff is great but the managers dont seem to care so why should anyone. Food can be good, or not. Beer can be good or not. Nobody cares either way

We came here for a new experience. the waitress blew us off and it wasn't busy. I ordered the shrimp and it came all burnt. I tried to eat it. choked down 1.5 pieces of it. The rest of my dinner I ate fries. I havevbeen hungry and this is not ok. my husband ate most of his food.but I just a t had my beer and fries. Never once asked how thr food was or ro check on our drinks until we were leaving. we will not be back!!! Less than 10 people.at the bar not busy at all!!

Delicious beer (get in and try their Bocks now!), Excellent service, fantastic food. This place does little things and big things just right! Plus, anywhere that is willing to take a crack at making Sauerbraten and knock it out of the park will always be at the top of my list.

Food was great and service was excellent!

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 everyone else with the short staff issues. 4 stars for this visit since our to go entrees, while still good, where missing salsas, had the wrong side dishes, and again the burger toppings where old and wilted. Hopefully the next time we go it’ll be back up to it’s usual great food!

Ordered their Gulf Shrimp meal and it was great. Wife had crusted Cod, again great. Pretty busy for a Friday nite, glad to see business picking up again.
