“ The exterior doesn't stand out but the food and patio do. We really enjoyed our burgers - Scooter and Jalapeno Popper - as well as the onion rings and loaded tots (our upgraded sides). Our server was friendly. And the patio had plenty of seating and a nice bar area. If you're ever in the area, it's worth stopping for. ”
“ This place is pretty awesome. They have indoor/outdoor dining. TVs throughout. In the garden patio they have a garden and bags set up. And smoking is allowed back there. The bartender, Josie, was awesome. They didnt have my drink in a can but she went behind the bar and made a drink and ... perfect. It was busy with a very mixed crowd. Cars, bikes and the service was still excellent. Drinks were served cold and food was served fast and hot. Prices are very affordable. OMG!! delicious. Highly recommend ”
“ Went here for a birthday dinner celebration. Food was great; I got one of the bowls. Nice outdoor dining seating area, very casual setting. After dinner we walked around bag for a few games of bean bag toss in the rec area! ”
“ Returning customers!! We always enjoy our experiences at Dan's! They servers are friendly, the food is good and they have an amazing, all you can eat, fish fry! Plan to call make reservations ahead of time for the Friday night fish fry or be ready to wait a bit (it's worth the wait!) Their current Tuesday night special is kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal. Count us in!! I've also got to receive the house sangria... very tasty!!! ”
“ I heard the burgers here were supposed to be awesome. Had to go check it out. The burgers were actually really good. And their tater tots they make their homemade and really tasty too. The burger was great was a little salty but they burger menu was really good and creative too. If you're in the area it's worth checking out! The wait staff was really nice and on top of it. Checking in a lot and making sure beverages are topped off. ”
“ We heard the burgers were good here so we decided to check it out in the way home from TI for the Skid Row concert. We sat on the patio. Beautiful day and our server Lauren took great care of us! We started with crispy Brussel Sprouts and Cheese Curds. 10/20!!! Absolutely DELISH. I did the California burger. I'd give 7/10. The bun wasn't my fave but the patty was well seasoned and nicely grilled! We'll definitely be back!!! ”
“ Dan's Bar and Grill was a favorable experience! I Highly recommend based on service, food, seating and parking. Be sure to make a reservation, the place was hopping on a Friday night. I enjoyed the Fish Fry off the Lenten menu (20) which can also be an all you can eat (23). The wait staff was super busy keeping all the tables served and turned to limit waiting time for those who did not make a reservation. Looking forward to next visit, maybe a late Sat lunch and drinks. ”
“ I had the fried walleye sandwich with sweet potato fries on the side and an extra side of onion rings, and I had a couple cocktails as well. The onion rings were delicious and the seasoned sour cream was delicious to have with the sweet potato fries too! The fried walleye sandwich was good, though I personally prefer to have walleye baked or grilled, so it would’ve been nice if they had other options to serve that another way. The overall atmosphere was relaxed, laid back and comfortable. Appears to still be family-owned and it was started in 1960! We will definitely be back sometime. I’m grateful that they had some craft beer options too, but also I’d love if they consider adding even more locally made craft beer options. ”
