Our Story

In the heart of a building that’s stood the test of time, The Wagner House, built in 1903, once echoed with the hum of printing presses from the Wagner family. Fast forward over a century, when Bill Green and his family breathed new life into the three-story building, a new chapter began. Today, The Great Debate continues that legacy of creation—this time, not with ink and paper, but with conversation, good food, and the joy of being together.

​

At The Great Debate, we believe that some of life’s greatest moments happen when people gather around the table. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a place where ideas are shared, stories are told, and memories are made. Whether you're here with friends for a lively debate over drinks, or having a quiet dinner with family, the history around you adds depth to your experience.
