    My friends hosted their rehearsal brunch here. They had catering and I have to say the food was delicious!!! We LOVED the salmon. The staff who served everyone were polite, friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Many of us got drinks and we were happy with them! I definitely would love to come back here if I'm ever in the area.

    Wednesday night fried chicken.
    Michael B.

    I was a little hesitant because of the reviews but I went anyways. I had a great time. And I was lucky to pick Wednesday which is fried chicken night. The food was good. The beer selection was great. And the young lady bartending was awesome. Looking forward to the next time!

    I visited the Carolina Brewery with a large group celebration. The business was very accommodating with giving our party a separated area in their upstairs loft. The staff was very friendly and attentive to everyone and their requests. I ordered the Brewery Cheeseburger with fries. It was delicious. The burger was cooked to my liking and the fries were tasty. This location offers a selection of IPAs and hard ciders that pair great with their menu items. Stop and give this place a try the next time you are in Pittsboro.

    "Queso"  absolutely horrible quality and no care for customer experience.

    I have had several negative experiences and gave them the benefit of the doubt once again, but the standards here have really slipped and food quality is minimal with no care for consistency or the customer experience. I am in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers on Google Maps and have listed my several negative experiences...none of which have been acknowledged or addressed by the restaurant or management. I will never be a customer again...more than 3 strikes for me.

    Carolina Brewery Cheeseburger! Always delicious!

    Always good! Used to be crowded at lunch, but now hardly anyone ever there. What happened? Has there been a change in Management?

    Omg ! This place is amazing! The customer service is professional and friendly! The burgers are a MUST! There is minimum wait time and reservations are not required. The prices are budget friendly . The ambiance is clean , rustic and there is a glass door that displays the brewery. I will be back!

    Potato Chips instead of nachos. I like nachos chips better. Not enough black beans.
    Terry W.

    Had some nachos after a trip from The Plant. Not really liking the potato chips nachos. Not enough black beans and could have had more chicken compared to others I have had. Go back to the nacho chips. If you do continue with the potato chips , cut them a bit thicker and larger.

    I love their beer but how I wish they had a real vegan option. That would make it the perfect dinner or brunch spot in pittsboro.

We have many breweries closer to home but we drive 30 minutes out of our way for the pizza. I always tip them well even though they don't serve you.

I've been to the Raleigh location as well, check out the review if you want to know more. Panysaurus over all is a cool place (either location) but they have drastically different vibes - which in my book is a good thing. The Durham location brings you an awesome patio scene! The bar itself is a bit small but their indoor/outdoor approach makes it seem huge. The patio is two floors, both covered, one just off the bar and the other right about that which has a few TVs for those interested. Off of the patio is a nice size "beer garden" sitting area complete with picnic tables and a great view. If you are looking for chill family friendly patio vibes this is the place to be! I really love Ponysaurus beer, their pilsner is nice but their kolsch is my favorite. If you've been to the Raleigh location, the Durham menus is not the same. Yes they have pizza but it doesn't seem to have the same options - still good though. We went with a hankering for the hummus we got at the Raleigh location, again the Durham location had hummus but a different variation. One thing that's consistent with both locations is the amount of pita that came with the hummus, there is nothing worse than getting a huge bowl of hummus and only a few pieces of hummus or chips. Both locations knocked it out of the park. Plenty of WARM pita for everyone. This location is somewhat self-service, the bartender obviously poured out beer and there is a cute window for picking up snacks but no table service.

    After helping out at a Yelp event nearby, it was kind of late and I wanted a decent meal before…read morehopping in the car to go back to Greensboro. Already being on Franklin Street, I knew that wouldn't be a problem, and I decided to just pop into this Carolina Brewery location (I think their main one) because it was convenient. The inside is a beautiful mix of wood and metals with different levels, an interesting bar configuration and plenty of TVs. I took a seat at the bar and received excellent service, and enjoyed conversation about sports, beer, and food with a couple of other gentlemen sitting close by. The only snafu of the meal was the tea got dumped (close to closing) after I got my first glass but before I got a refill. They replaced it with another drink of course, but that was good tea! I ordered the shrimp and grits with tempered expectation, but will summarily say they were exceeded. This was a really nice sized portion of thick creamy grits, a total of 8 VERY plump shrimp, enough salty bacon and onion to balance it out. Each bite was well balanced, and while it can't compare to anything I've had out in the low country by the coast, it was better than I hope for this spot and time. If I had to suggest an improvement, it could use an element with a subtle sweetness, like roasted or blistered sweet corn shaved off the cob. I also would like the sauce more pronounced, or even a red-eye gravy. I wouldn't call it dry, but it could have benefited. That would take it onto another level. Anyhow, I enjoyed the meal and friendly conversation. I would certainly return next time I'm in Chapel Hill.

The service was solid--nice young lady from UNC who was very attentive and friendly. The food was meh. The burrito bowl was super salty and blah. The pork sandwich was soggy.

I'm not going to say who did, because I don't know if that's something the bar staff was even supposed to do. But i certainly did appreciate the gesture. The Pivoted Hazy IPA is the one of the best beers I've tried in years. Great flavor, not too heavy, well balanced, hint of citrus flavor. Not a lot of great things tend to come out of New England, but the IPAs are one! I also liked the lime wheel beer. Not too sweet, sour, or tart, just very well balanced and refreshing. If you want to go with a real West Coast IPA, the Thistle Brew will do the job. The piney notes and grapefruit flavors are quite pronounced. This wasn't necessarily my style, but I think it will please those who prefer the hoppier flavors. I scored a free sticker too. Bathrooms are really small...and make sure you move the lock latch all the way over...I'll just leave it there.
