This place was like being in a roomful of friends. Almost like a real-life Cheers episode, and I loved it! I sat at the bar and watched the bartender chat with every single person at the bar in a most genuine and friendly way. The couple next to me actually knew him by name and he also knew them by name... so that's a very important quality for me! I ordered this French dip style sandwich, very generously accompanied with French fries. As I was attending the Film Festival across the street at the Ritz, I wasn't able to drink alcohol, but the drinks looked really good! Ambiance-wise: this is a very fun and open-spaced bar. I sat at the bar but there were picnic tables behind me (indoor). It was lovely and very well lit. When I walked outside, I felt very safe. This is a really great spot to hang out with friends there in Sanford!

Love this Brewery. They have wonderful beer and great food. Friendly service. They're always having some events for the community! They have inside and outside seating. Sometimes I have movies inside where you can sit on the couch. Sometimes they have local bands. Come often to try their new beers if they brew right there on the property! If it's busy up here on the weekend so come early to get a good spot.

I don't think I've ever given an establishment five-stars 4 times in a row. Love this place - love their side pours. Quality beer with the best company. My fiance and I always vote for Dee's Bros at any beer festival.

We enjoyed a quick Saturday night dinner at Dee's Brothers Brewery! The food was delicious, the service was fast, and the staff members were nice. We enjoyed being able to sit outside. The only downfall is that they were out of a lot of things and their menu online doesn't reflect what it actually is. All of the dishes I had desired to try beforehand included chicken, which their current menu doesn't include. My husband wanted a particular pizza, and they were out of that meat. He wanted a sour beer, and they were out of it. We would return!

I have been here before and I surprisingly didn't review it. Luckily, I visited one lazy afternoon when not much was going on until the bingo lady came in. Yep, I landed here on bingo night! I have played bingo in high school, it's really not my thing, but I figured I could support this brewery by staying a little longer, getting another round of beers, and playing bingo. The beers were good, so why not hang for a little longer? As the evening unraveled, the fun began. I not only won several prizes at the bingo table, I also beat another competing couple from across the bar. I actually crushed them to the point where they got a bit sour. I guess the last draw was when I won the gift card, idk. The staff here is super nice, and they really made my visit way beyond fun (for a Tuesday). The bingo lady is amazing as well, and this really should be a destination for bingo. The beers are good, not world class, but if they were world class this place would be packed. There is food also, I got an amazing pretzel. All in all, great place for a bingo/beer/food combo.

Always great service and great beer. We usually get a snack here too. Food is good whenever we order. Good friendly place to stop in and have cold beer on a hot day!

Space is large and welcoming. Plenty of space to chill and be with friends. Beer was good but the food was just meh. The plant based bacon was not edible. It was like some weird science experiment. I'm sure it costs them a pretty penny that is not well spent.

Excellent brewery with an amazing selection of beers. Service probably is what sets this apart from the other breweries in the area. Beer selection is another great offering. You'll enjoy your visit here.

Great brewery in downtown Sanford. Large selection of craft brews and food (we didn't eat). Spacious interior with video games and ample seating.

If I could put no stars, I would. We came here to have some food before a concert we were attending up the road & I ordered the Veggie Flatbread & vegan mac & cheese. Ordered my food & told them, "No red onions please. I'm allergic to onions." They were extremely busy & I'll give SOME leeway for that which is why we waited as long as we did with no complaints. I'm honestly very forgiving in situations like these when there's a city event going on. Waits are to be expected & fine. So we waited. Had a couple of beers. Food came out. I looked at the server (Lacey) & said, "No onions, right?" She confirmed there were no onions. I ate the veggie mac & cheese which was good (there's the one star to my review I suppose). I went to take a piece of my flatbread & there was a long onion strand that slid off of it under the cheese. Upon further inspection, there were onions all over the flatbread under the cheese & cucumbers. My husband took my plate back to the bar to get a refund because our time was running short & we couldn't wait again for them to remake it. Lacey came over to process the refund on her handheld device. I told her that it was a good thing I looked because I had an onion allergy & it would've been a WHOLE lot worse of a situation had I bit into the flatbread. She made the excuse that they were extremely busy & they probably saw "no red onions" & put white ones on there instead. I asked why they would do that because the menu didn't say one thing about "white onions" being a part of the flatbread & for someone like myself who has a food allergy, that could be extremely dangerous. She reiterated that they were really busy & she didn't know what was going on in the kitchen. I offered the advice that she may want to let her manager know what happened & that's when she told me she was one of the managers. Lacey didn't offer ONE single apology. Basically, just told me to get bent because they were busy today. Let's me know they don't really need my patronage at all & I was super polite about everything because I knew they were busy. That's fine. I'll not be back. Thank you.

Absolutely loved this brewery. Stopped in after eating in the area for a few beers. We tried the Vivaciously vindictive vidicator and Hipster potion #4. Both were delicious and refreshing. Service was great as you walked right up to the bar and were served almost immediately. They have the option for outdoor or indoor seating. It was a good size brewery.

Cool place! Great beer. Super friendly service. Food is good, not awesome. A little weird having to grab a menu when you come in and order at the "Order Here" stand for both your beer and food. I have seen that maybe at least one other time, but that place was huge. This place is very small in comparison, but I actually appreciate the labor savings. I am sure I will be back here at some point! I wish Dees Nuts came in a form other than peanuts... though the spicy and savory offerings are temping to get just for the name.

Dees nuts

This visit for me was five stars, perfect location just coming from Sanford airport 10 min, looking for beer and this fit the bill. Oh and Don't let me get started on the Hot nuts, these things for me we're like heaven. I think I was a hot nut boiled nut virgin, oh and the way to go these things were boiled in beef and pork, served with that juice some of the meat all together, this little bowl of hot nut goodness. Yum yum. And my hot Italian beef sandwich was five stars also, with the sport peppers and bowl of au jus, so tasty l even added a little beef juice from my nuts. Loved this place, go get the nuts. So glad l stopped.

Last Saturday, they hosted the Tonka Rodeo event. I decided to visit for fun and came around 7ish…read more There was live music on stage, as well as other vendors, inflatables, face painting, and best of all, a mechanical bull. Citrus City Craft was selling some special cocktails outside, and I saw the berry bourbon catching my eye. I had to go with that. Since it was an event, it just came on a plastic cup, making it easy to hold. It was a great fruity drink. I forgot what kind of berry they used, but it was pretty sweet and enjoyable. The bourbon they used was indeed high quality as the booziness lasted almost an hour. Though, thankfully I was still good enough do two rides on the mechanical bull and last for a decent account of time. And what was amazing about the drink was the cost, just 8 bucks! I would have expected to pay at least 10 dollars or more for a great quality drink for a special event, but 8 dollars was quite a steal. While I didn't go inside the restaurant/bar, I just enjoyed the outdoor entertainment at the strip mall, and tried the cocktail. Because of their excellent quality of the drink at the event, I definitely need to visit inside and try their beer selection as well in the future.

Want a brewery with a great beer, cocktail and food selection? Look no further than Orange County…read moreBrewers! This brewery has a great selection of brews and also serves cocktails for those non beer drinkers. Their happy hour is really good as well with $7 cocktails and cheaper beer. Then they also have food partners with Tin and Taco as well as Sodough square pizza. While there we got the pizza which was fresh and delicious, probably one of the better pizzas I've had. The ambiance is your typical brewery feel with lots of space and seating around as well as tvs to watch. But honestly the only complaint we had was the server we had as she had an attitude and I was using my pub pass for a free beer which she charged me for then said she couldn't do a refund. But then the bartender said they could refund it, showing the waitress misspoke and also gave us a coupon for next time. The service by the waitress almost ruined it but we may go back.

I then got a pick your own taco adventure. I got the burrito with Mac and cheese, ground beef , bacon and green onions. I was like oh man this is gonna be good. I was very disappointed. It was 95 percent rice, hardly any of the other fillings what so ever. It was also quite dry and I needed a side of sour cream. The wait staff was horrible. The waiter kept disappearing for long periods of time. At one point I decided to time it. I did not see him around for 6 minutes. I would come back again for the beer but that is it.
