This was our second time having lunch here. Overall, and extremely enjoyable experience. Prada was our waitress and she was very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu. We ordered onion rings, strawberry and goat cheese salad, parmesan, garlic wings, and Fish Tacos. All delicious; however, my husband had the Fish Tacos and he said next time he'll order the chicken sandwich only because the tacos probably wasn't as filling as he wanted it to be, but the taste was fine. He also ordered the chocolate chip dessert and one side seem to be cooked harder than the other. He's not a complainer and he did ask if that was normal. Prada said she'll be glad to talk to the chef about it. My husband ate the whole thing anyway. He ordered that in our first visit. It was baked evenly then and so good he ordered it again this time. Prada addressed our concerns and resolved to our satisfaction. Customer Service so far has been top-notch here. My husband also got one of the beers. Honestly, I can't remember which one it was but he said it was very good. I'm unsure how parking would be if we tried to come directly here. I was able to use my membership parking privileges at the Ymca after a workout and the walk was super close and easy.. read more

What's not to love about the recently re-opened Heist Brewery in NODA? The beer is delightful, clean, and crisp. The food is expertly prepared and compliments the beer perfectly. The service (shoutout to our waiter/bartender peanut) was friendly, conversational, and well executed. The Parmesan garlic fries were fried well and had good flavor, but could've use a little more flavor from oil or seasoning. The onion rings were nearly perfect and my friend said they were the best she's ever had. The buffalo chicken wrap was spicy, sweet, and tangy from sauces, giving it a wonderful complex collection of flavors. The Greek flatbread was good but could've use have done with more meat and less feta and tzatziki. The balance was off, but I think they could perfect it if they gave it a try. read more

I have been to this establishment 2 times in the past week and both experiences have been great. Service is outstanding, servers are always very cheerful and have great smiles. The food is amazing much better than expected for a brewery. The new decor is also great much brighter and inviting. read more

Went after the reopening and the food and beer were great! The inside looks nice and is very comfortable. Very family friendly.

After seeing their impressive IG posts advertising their brunch spread, we decided to check them out. Well, kudos to their social media manager because the post is better than IRL! Before I get to the food portion of the review, let's start with the basics. Brunch starts at 10am and there is a bit of a line that queues outside prior to the doors opening. And no judgement, but there were a lot of serious eater profiles in line so that made us even more optimistic about the food. The line does move a little slow as they take payment up front and also make drinks while slapping a wristband on to tell who paid for the buffet and who didn't. Not sure why they bothered because there wasn't anyone standing online checking for wristbands. But the place was packed by 10:45 so I would advise getting here earlier vs later. Also, unless I missed it, there wasn't a menu board listing what exactly was on the buffet. We assumed that the menu was similar to what we saw on IG. That was a mistake. The selection included waffles, chicken strips, scrambled eggs, shrimp and grits, biscuits and country gravy, bacon, sausage, fruit salad, salmon patties and an omelette make to order window. The good. The shrimp and grits were the best items on the menu. The grits were legitimately delicious and contained plenty of shrimp. However there were no bowls, only plates so if you don't like the run off effect, beware. The chicken tenders were good not great. The segments were irregular resulting in uneven frying with some of my pieces over fried. The bad. The eggs, sausage links, gravy and fruit salad were synonymous with the continental breakfast you get at the Hampton Inn. The sausage links in particular had that dull grey complexion that reeked of either steam or microwave but definitely not griddle cooked. The scrambled eggs essentially fused together in the serving pan so you had to scoop it out like ice cream. And my lady ordered from the omelette bar, and after waiting 15 minutes for it to be ready, she ended up with an inedible omelette that looked like it had been bathed in grease. The ugly. I ordered a Bloody Mary from the bar. The Bloody Mary was good, and included a decent garnish of okra and olives. However, I only ordered that one drink and the 2 buffets. Final ticket came to $87! Not sure how much they charged me for the bloody but I think I would stick with water or a beer if I were you. We may have caught them on an off weekend so there's that to consider. But in general, if quantity over quality is your groove, then by all means make this your next stop. But if you are looking for a brunch with a little more "cookery", you may want to look elsewhere. read more

Five years later, Heist is due for an update and the opportunity to show off our beer culture to one of my out-of-town friends. On a Sunday afternoon out of football season, Heist was not busy and we were able to get a hightop immediately. I popped up to the counter and placed our food and beer order - we split a pitcher of their "Druid" Pilsner and I brought that back to the table. Two hours later, we had drunk the beer and eaten the flatabread and the beer cheese with breadsticks. The flat bread was tasty and well topped. The beer cheese was tangy and the breadsticks were both crunchy and soft. Delicious. There is a lot of seating inside and outside - upstairs, downstairs, a huge back room. We were at a high top in the entrance and it was cool. I was pleased with how it turned out and glad to have Heist as an example of Charlotte's fabulous beer culture.

Great location with large indoor and outdoor seating areas. They do have flight cards you can fill out for a flight of four brews. The brewery has some of the top-rated beers in the state. I just wish the menu was powered by Untappd to be able to sort through it more efficiently. Service was okay from the bar, meaning you had to do your own running while someone secured your table. I cannot comment on the food since I did not order anything here. Otherwise, a great location just outside the main part of the city--well, at least it seems to be as I am only just getting a feel for one night as to what Charolette is about to begin with. read more

Stopped by for a late dinner during the week and while I enjoy the vibe of Heist Brewery, the food is alright, nothing spectacular. My husband got the double brisket burger with parmesan garlic fries, and I got the chicken with Mac and cheese. Both were decent. Service: you order at the bar and receive a number for your table. They will then bring your food to the table. read more

First times at Heist Brewery for Sunday Brunch. I was so pleasantly surprised by the food options and how well they took care of you. We arrived right when they opened at 10:00 AM. For $20 per person you could get all you want to eat from this large spread of food choices. Choices included biscuits and gravy, bagels, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, beef Wellington, chicken, waffles, French toast, fresh fruit, donuts, and pastries. You could also order a omelette made to order! Fresh coffee, OJ, etc were also provided. For $5 a carafe you can get a mimosa, Bloody Mary or beer. What a deal! There is plenty of seating and you can stay as long as you would like. I was really impressed with this Buffett. This was my first visit but definitely not my last. We are thinking of making it a regular visit! Excellent brunch Geist. Thank you! read more

Met up with some old high school friends here. It's the perfect place for a gathering. The food was delicious and the price is very reasonable. My favorites were the made to order omelet and the grits. The server was very accommodating. We were sitting upstairs but the air was not working up there so it was extremely hot. We tried to power through it but with drinking it became unbearable. The server did not hesitate to move us to a more comfortable spot downstairs and they were quite busy. Parking: Although it was a big parking lot, it was packed so parking may be a bit tricky. read more

I had a delicious burger and my guy had some AMAZING chicken and waffle tacos... yes, tacos! I thought that was so unique and cute in the taco holder. I didn't love the fries but nothing was wrong either. They just weren't anything special. Service was friendly and helpful in choosing a drink (I like sweet). The building is so big and there is no way to feel cramped. They also have an upstairs area that I'm sure makes a great event space for birthdays. read more

Excellent first time experience with Heist Brewery with one of their Oatmeal Stouts, The Brunch Junkie. Thin and smooth in body and coffee and oatmeal strong in taste this hit all the right marks for me. I do love stouts, especially oatmeal ones during the colder times of the year but when I had Brunch Junkie it was during a warmer season. Didn't matter with this stout. It's truly enjoyable anytime of the year. With such a great start with Heist with this beer I have hopes that their other beer selections are just as impressive! read more

I love this place, especially on Sundays. Like, is there a better deal than $10 for a pitcher of mimosas on Sunday? I also really like their nachos with chicken, and order it almost every time (no, it's not real Mexican food, so just accept that when you order it - if you want Mexican, go to an actual Mexican restaurant). They're super dog friendly here and def make you feel like it, so you can chill with your pup outside and pet your dog if you're okay with it. And even on weekdays, service is just generally nice and welcoming. Like, you'd want to come back here no matter what! Love coming by here and feeling welcomed! read more

I had somehow forgotten about this place, even though it was my go-to for weekend brunch before Covid for so many years. I have certainly reignited the flame!! They offer bottomless brunch and they have even expanded their offerings and have an amazing selection of the usual eggs and meats, fruits, biscuits and gravy, chicken wings, chicken and waffles, grits, SEAFOOD BROIL, an omelette and flatbread bar, and various desserts. They have coffee and juices, and lots of great drink specials. The bottomless brunch is a steal at $20 a head. Highly recommend!!! read more

My friend and I were looking for somewhere to grab a quick drink and maybe a little bite to eat before going out for the evening and we came across Heist Bar as it was pretty close to the spot we were going to afterwards. Upon entry, we were quickly sat at the bar and we ordered chips and the short rib queso. I also ordered the short rib taco and my friend got the fish tacos. Overall, everything was pretty good. I will say a couple of my chips were a little stale lol but I won't nitpick too bad. read more

My husband and I visited Heist brewery were visiting Charlotte for only 4 days and we visited this place twice because we liked it so much. They have a wide variety of beers. You can get something that tastes like Christmas up to a beer that tastes like you are on the beach sipping pina coladas. We sat outside on the patio under the umbrella but the inside is also HUGE. We also had lunch here and it was very good!! who knew breweries would have a great salad? read more

I'm not a fan of breweries just for a regular everyday visit, but their Sunday brunch is a must! $20 gets you a buffet of some of the yummiest eats around! Coffee and juice are included on the bar with the price. They have everything from chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits to an omelette station. Fresh fruit and baked goods. The French toast was so good, out of this world. They also offer drink specials, I got the mimosa carafe which was only $10. Just a glass was $5 so yea that was a no brainer lol. The brunch is every Sunday from 10-2, and I highly suggest getting there early. Like before they open, I got there abt 930 just so I wouldn't have any probs finding parking, and there were already people standing outside forming a line lol. read more

Very average food, drinks, and service. We popped in here on a Friday evening and it wasn't very busy. We were seated in an area that was SO hot it was almost warmer than outside. Service was spotty and slow. The frozen slushy drinks were hardly frozen, and one tasted like cough syrup. Appetizers (wings, beer cheese, fried pickles, french fries) were all pretty bland. Wouldn't come back. read more

I'm visiting from out of town and asked my beer connoisseur friends which brewery I should try, and Heist was on everyone's lists for both beer AND food. We went on a Sunday around 5 and it was quite packed. To be expected for a popular place like this. I wish I'd looked at the beer menu before settling on Heist only because their menu was predominantly IPA's and beers I don't typically drink. For that reason I just went with a flight and tried my luck. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed most of them. I had 3 IPA's and 2 sours. The fruit punch sour was my favorite. The food menu was full of things I wanted to try!! Ultimately, I went with the sweet shiitake flatbread. I was looking forward to something mushroom forward, but it was very sweet. Yes, I realize the word "sweet" is in the description, but there were soooo many candied pecans and very few mushrooms. Don't get me wrong, it tasted great, because I was hoping for at least sweet AND savory, not just super sweet. Our server, Annie, was great and took very good care of us. I would definitely come back here again. read more

This was my first time but not the last time for sure. We were a party of 7 and went for a brunch. Just a heads up they do have a parking lot but it gets full quickly so make time for parking. There may also a bit of a wait so keep that in mind also. We just ordered a bunch of food to get a taste: -Pretzels w/beer cheese -Bbq flat bread loaded with Mac n cheese, Margherita flat bread, loaded lashed potato flat bread. -Jumbo wings -Mimosa pitchers: Pineapple, Orange, Grapefruit The food was absolutely delicious. All of it. Our waitress was great and prompt even with I'm sure a limited staff. They has multiple TVs ok showing football. So while my team lost, u enjoyed the food and the company. Highly recommend and will return for sure! read more

I have been to both Heist brewery locations and I must say they are both amazing. In this location my boyfriend and I ordered from the lunch menu. I ordered the shrimp po'boy and he ordered the beer cheese burger. The food was so delicious that once it got to the table we stopped talking and just started eating. The po'boy was so amazing I can't even express it in words. The shrimp was perfectly fried and the combination of the sausage link with Cole slaw was WOW!!! read more

I've been to at least 50, maybe 100 microbreweries and Heist is one of my all time favorites. They absolutely kill New England Style IPA's and they have multiples of them...all are awesome! Cans to go ain't cheap by any stretch and they do food...look at all the pics. They utilize a wood fired oven. Full bar, signature cocktails, decent amount of lot parking with overflow on busy Davidson St. Lots of seating inside and their wifi is strong and free, just like 'Merica! We love sitting out front, but on a busy day, those tables are hard to get for sure as their aren't many tables really. Great service by multiple, super cool people when we were there. Tip well when it's deserved. Note, my favorite of their NE IPA's is Approaching Daylight, though the You can't Triple Stamp a Double Stamp is killer too. Don't be scared of Citraquench'l either. Unaffiliated but yummy pizza joint is attached next door and they serve monster slices if you want one to go...or a full pie. It's like a bonus having that place right there...it's called Benny Pennello's. read more

OK, so this review is strictly for brunch... Visiting Charlotte you would think to yourself a brewery that serves all you can eat brunch I don't know how that is even a thing! But heist brewery doesn't disappoint! For one price all you can eat the options are limitless! From the made to order omelettes, to the shrimp and grits, to pizza, to danishes...AND Mimosas, of course! There is something special to satisfy every taste bud! Please do yourself a favor and enjoy brunch here! read more

Looking for a hip place for food and drinks on the edge of Noda, look no further. There are plenty of tables outside on the patio to enjoy the weather or the Inside was wide open with lots of space and AC. The Menu was pretty big and plenty of options. They also have a mock tail menu on the drink menu titled "on the wagon"-the berry tenacious was really good and the lemon juice gave it a little tart kick. The HB grilled chicken sandwich I got was perfect size and tasty. Everything you would expect with a grilled chicken sandwich with a lot of seasoned/topping grilled chicken sammie. My friend got a quesadilla and she was pleased with it, nothing special. Insider tip: The menu is a la carte, but fairly priced, so plan accordingly. We got lucky with parking in the lot out front, as the lot typically fills up fast. read more

Came here with friends for the start of Sunday Funday :) and the World Cup finals. We ordered separately from table (sometimes the my have table service, sometimes not). Friend of mine got the breakfast burger and it's probably the best I have ever had. Over easy egg, Canadian bacon, cheddar, etc. I ordered the Wings ($14) with a dry rub and Buffalo sauce on the side as well as parmasean truffle fries ($5) wings were juicy on the inside but crisped skin on the outside. Lots of parmasean cheese, fries crispy - Everyrhing came out at the perfect temperature. Sat at a high top for ten of us. It was fantastic. read more

Great setup here. Plenty of outdoor dining. The atmosphere is awesome here. I bellied up to the bar and ordered a beer. I asked the bartender for a IPA recommendation. She poured a Citraquench'l. Hit out of the park, great citrus beer on a hot day. Now I came here because I saw a rerun of of Diners, drive-ins and dives, the night before. I wanted the burger, burger, burger but that was discontinued. I ordered the next closest thing. The Heist jam burger. It took a bit long, but I was in rush. When it came out the presentation was great. My expectations were sky high now. Unfortunately the sliders were severely over cooked. Terribly dry I did not enjoy one bit. If you need to cook them that well done, you need to add something moist. On the flip side, everyone else seemed to know better than me and really enjoying their meal. TLDR, order the beer, skip the burger read more

Great atmosphere to have some beers, food, and watch a game. I would definitely recommend

My boyfriend and I did a date night and we were not disappointed. The beer selection was awesome and we both loved that it changes every week! I got the chicken and waffle tacos. THEY WERE AMAZING. I asked for the sauce on the side and then decided to pour that stuff on top. My boyfriend got the chicken Caesar wrap and it looked amazing as well! We will definitely be back and try something new! The service was also amazing. Most people were sitting outside since the weather is right for it; however, I preferred to sit inside so that we could be away from the dogs that were outside. I have a service dog and it is rare that you find a place that doesn't make you feel like you are an inconvenience for having a disability. This really sold me on coming back! read more

Parking: pretty big lot so it shouldnt be a problem Atmosphere: inside dining with lots of space inside. Outside patio with tables and umbrellas, dog friendly (not inside). We saw out, i can see it getting very hot but luckily we went when the sun was setting Drinks: did not get their food since we wanted to explore the area more. They had a flight option (up to 5) for about $10. We shared a couple of their stouts, their mango puft, and IPA. I think it would have been much better if the beer was actually cold. It did take them a while to get our flight to us so not sure if it was just sitting out after being poured but it was basically lukewarm when we had our first sip. Personally, the beers were just okay. read more

First of all, let's start out by saying how cost-efficient Heist breweries buffet is! Yes, we love a reasonably priced restaurant. It was self seating, which can get kind of tricky because it does tend to pick up and get busy and it can be hard to get a seat. Went on a Sunday and got a great spot in front of the TV to watch football football. I visited all the stations and tried a couple things and overall the food was pretty good. Nice variety I love sweets so the donuts or a nice touch. But the food had a universal saltiness to it however, it won't stop me from returning because it wasn't overpowering. It was just something that we noticed, they have so many different items, chicken flatbread, fruit, grits, home fries, eggs, muffins, great option for families, dates, or people just wanting to grab some food on a Sunday. read more

I was here for brunch with my friends and it was delightful! The location is very big so even on a peak brunch Sunday, there was no wait (unless you wanted to sit outside). There brunch menu covers all that you may want without an overwhelmingly large menu. Our waiter, Alex, was very sweet and pleasant making it an even better experience. The Bloody Mary was delicious and very well seasoned. We also got a Mimosa Carafe which was more champagne than juice - probably the first time that's ever happened anywhere and I couldn't be happier! They were very accommodating with my order as I order the Breakfast Burger but instead of a beef patty I wanted the fried chicken that came with the chicken and waffles. They had no problem making that change for me. My friend got the biscuits and gravy which weren't bad but there was some sort of spice in the gravy that made it kind of taste like cleaning product. We also got the parmesan truffle fries and they were amazing and the ketchup they came with had herbs in it for some extra flavor it was delicious. All in all, brunch here was fantastic! read more

It's my first time having the Sunday Brunch. We saw it on an Instagram Reel and made plans to have it. I went with my daughter and we were extremely disappointed. All of the food looked as if it were hot. We can see steam at the buffet. But every thing we bit into was below luke warm to cold. We noticed other customers complaining about the same thing. We tried other options at the buffet and all came back cold. We addressed it with the bartender to let the manager know. Very disappointed to pay over $50 including tip for 2 cold brunch buffets. Wouldn't go back after this experience. The manager never even came to our table to address the matter. read more

Heist has always been one of my favorite breweries due to the way they deliver with both food and drinks. However, my last visit was a little lacking from my usual great experience. Our waitress explained that they had recently switched out some seasonal items on both the food and drink menus. To start, we ordered the brussel sprouts appetizer. We asked for the bacon jam on the side. Without the bacon jam, the brussel sprouts definitely needed some additional seasoning. My husband said the bacon jam added the right amount of salt. It was a little difficult to eat, however, as we had to wait awhile for serving plates. The star of the night was definitely the drinks. My husband ordered the Apple Mule which was on special. I had the Cranberry Mule. Both are made with their house made Ginger Beer (not pictured) which is delicious by itself. For his entree, my hubby had the chicken and waffle sandwich which he said was delicious due to the perfect balance of spicy and sweet. My mango shrimp tacos though were a bit bland unfortunately. It is worth noting that I did not get the chicharones dust on top. But the shrimp could have benefitted from some additional seasoning. We also ordered a side of fries which were yummy but not pictured. I will definitely be back for the drinks and fries. Next time I will probably try one of the flatbreads. Pro-tip: Be prepared to mask up and have your temperature taken before being seated. read more

Ran in here for a quick drink while waiting on pizza next door at Benny's. Was surprised as it wasn't your typical brewery. Great outdoor seating, huge parking lot, always a plus in Charlotte. Inside more like a bar with food . Has servers too. Great little cocktail list which also surprised me. Was just expecting to see a few wines . Bartender was really great too, very friendly and hospitable. We ordered some beers, couple of old fashioned, fresh squeezed mimosas, and the empress 75. Everyone loved all the drinks, the fresh mimosa definite highlight as it tasted so good, fresh squeezed juice definitely makes a difference. Highly impressed they had Empress gin, so hard to find at any good bar let alone a brewery. So well done on that ! We all said we'd come back here for sure. Good vibe even on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Big brewery scene in Charlotte these days, so nice to find this little gem that caters to everyone. read more

So many positive reviews but my first experience here was for an event and it was a rather....interesting evening. Came the last day of February for a music event called couch sessions. Arrived 15 minutes early and there was parking so we parked down the street. The event started late so we had to stand in a line and wait to get in for 30 min. The event space was crowded and there weren't enough chairs for everyone to sit. My bf went and asked a staff member from the main area if we could get a chair and she scoffed at him saying they have enough in there already so no, no more chairs for the event. There was one bartender working the event for a crowd of about 75-ish (maybe) so the drink/food line took forever. Anyways, stood in it and ordered nachos and a margarita. Margarita was $12 and was tequila, cranberry juice and a lime. I know it's a brewery but sheesh...that was basic. Nachos came out within 15 min but the cheese was cold. Bathrooms in the event space had a paper sign on the door that said do not use but the door was open and the lights were on for the women. I asked a server if this was true and she said she didn't know but maybe a pipe burst or something but she wasn't sure. Overall, I get that most of the tardiness and planning was on the event host but one bartender, cold nachos, no seating after paying a $20 cover and an inop bathroom really didn't help. read more

came here with a private group and was sadly not impressed. The service was amazing, but the food was very underwhelming. I will say the pretzels and cheese were very good, but everything else I could have done without. The margarita pizza was almost like a a cracker with toppings. The kids mac and cheese was not very good. In my opinion a huge pro to this place is its one of the only restaurants in NoDa that has a parking lot attached. I have also been to a few events and really enjoyed my time! However, once I get a few drinks in me I'm hungry so the food is what brings it down. I would still consider the menu, picky eater approved! read more
