We recently moved to the suburbs and were trying to find a neighborhood brewery. We stumbled upon Model A and became instantly hooked. They have ample space, both indoors and outdoors to gather with friends and family. Or if you want to go for a solo drink, sit at their large bar! I love their beer selection --- something for everyone -- with my favorite being their Dunkel. I also appreciate they have liquor and a good bourbon selection in the event you don't want beer or aren't a beer drinker. The food is great and they have a nice assortment of options for snacks or full meals. read more

Been wanted to go to this place for the longest time. Went on Friday evening. Place was packed as expected. Would have liked it if had gotten patio sitting as weather was nice. Inside sitting was also good. We were greeted with very friendly staff all around. Our server Conner was very attentive and friendly. Ordered some food, specially famous pretzel and that did not disappoint. Very nice beer collection. Will be coming back to try more beers. Overall 4.5/5. read more

If you are going for a beer you are golden. The food is terrible. Very, very disappointed. Nachos were sub par.. Black n Blue burger was awful. If you can't offer a decent burger then you should stop offering food. read more

Cute little brewery- cool ambiance. Nice patio for the cool weather. They did have a dude singing outside who was really awful i hope they didn't pay for him. Beers were good. Pretzel was off the chain! For sure get that! The service was super slow and they didn't look short-staffed i did see a lot of servers so i don't know what that was about. If your in the area cool place to grab a beer but i wouldn't make any extra trip here. read more

Decided to make the journey from Ballantyne and try this place out and so glad we did. The fact they had food, a patio and were open later than most places was a plus. The service was A+ The Beer was A+ The Food was A+ We will be back often! read more

Tasty food here is always a good value. Definitely try the burgers or the BLT. The craft beers are on par with other local establishments.

Love this place after two visits everyone knows the drink I want.. i enjoy their wings bc their are smaller and love the pretzel but i don't like salt. So I ask for non or no extra salt.. tbh I like beer but their strawberry seltzer is my go to because it's strong and doesn't make me feel bloated .. but their beer's are amazing.. read more

I have been here probably 10 times. The beer has always been pretty good and so has the food. We liked the original menu before they switched better, but I will say, the brand new menu that just came out seems amazing. Buffalo chicken wrap is 10/10, their new pale ale also amazing. Great local spot. Cameron is a great host read more

Tried out this brewery for the first time on a Saturday at 3pm. Thankfully someone was leaving an outside table and we were able to snag it up although the inside is large and well spaced. The tables outside are meant for several people and are spaced apart. I enjoyed a flight of 4 of their beers and found all of them really refreshing. We also shared one of their large pretzels however were slightly disappointed that it was fried. It did come with a side of mustard and cheese. read more

What a great place! Highly recommend the pretzel - buttery, crispy, soft texture with just the right amount of salt. Burgers also good, and the cheese curds. From the brewery we had the Speakeasy, a tasty Czech Pilsner (the only thing that would make it better is a V.58 -IYKYK) and the Bold Rock Blackberry Cider. Definitely a place worth checking out! read more

Model A Brewing - Bavarian Protezel, burger, a Benchmade Narrows and a Protech Newport :) - Breweries Near Me - Tega Cay, South Carolina

Very friendly, warm, good service. Good variety of beer, including my favorite personal preference (I love sours). I love that their menu is consistent, meaning they don't try too hard to offer a wide variety of mediocre food like a lot of other places I've seen. They do Mexican fusion, and do it very well. Between me, my husband, and my friends we've sampled quite a bit of the menu in the small time they've been open and it was all flavorful and delicious. It's SO close to our house so I'm sure we will be here a lot. For non-alcoholic drinkers / coffee lovers / brunch lovers who want some coffee before they start their day drinking, they have Tega Cay Coffee Company's cold brew ON TAP!! Totally beats Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts any day. read more

The Good: Location - ample parking, good outdoor seating options, easily accessible. Service - outstanding from start to finish. Tacos - Pork shoulder was quite tasty. The Bad: Elotes - no flavor, seemed to be reheated frozen corn... don't order. Deep Fried Pretzel - had a hot dog flavor to it and provided very little beer cheese. Tacos - though they tasted great.. being able to split the style would've been ideal given that nearly every other place serving street tacos allows it. Beer - The blonde ale was very bland, the brown was just ok. Overall, I really want to like this place and will give it another try. I'll probably wait a few months to see how they progress before I do. read more

This spot is great! We love grabbing a beer on the outdoor patio. Trivia on Monday nights are always so fun. And the pretzel, OMG, the pretzel! Brews are great, food is solid, service is attentive. Great neighborhood spot for sure! read more

This is a general and vanilla establishment with mediocre beer and a mediocre food selection...but wait, it gets better. The staff is friendly but appear to be in training, even the bartender that wanted to charge me for four shots to make a basic Long Island iced tea ! They have a full bar but don't know how to make it or charge the right price ??? My drink would have been $28 !!! Uh No ! I'd say skip this place until they work out their kinks, there was nothing special about the establishment, service or beer. read more

We love Model A and take our kids there frequently. The beer and food are both fantastic with options for every taste. The service can't be beat. All of this in a great location offering a relaxing ambiance both indoors and out. read more

Cool place! Great atmosphere. Wonderful beer selections. Food needs some work or maybe we got a bad cook. Ordered two Fresh Tex Bowls. There was no lime in the lime rice, in fact no seasoning at all. Chicken quesadilla wouldn't stay together it just fell apart. The bowls were the most bland tasting concoction ever. The food was disappointing but a great place to drink beer. Service was slow. Sat with empty beer, the waitress never came back. We asked another worker for a beer and said she wasn't allowed but would go get your waitress. By time the waitress got back to our table we decided to just pay and leave. read more

Awesome place to visit! Walked in to a fantastic welcome. Cameron did a great job at church explaining the beers and awards they have won. We had the strawberry ginger blonde and the beer for burritos. Both were fabulous. Had a sample of the Prohibition Amber that was so smooth! This is a little gem and a must try! read more

Great food, beer, location, and atmosphere. Avid drop on customer. Just surprised at the tab from last night (nearly $90 including 20% tip) that included nothing but 1 beer each for 4 people, a shareable app of onion pedals, two quesadillas, and a $12 chicken sandwich that consisted of 2 thin tenders and a bun. read more

Great place!! Beer is good and the food is fantastic! They do trivia on Tuesday night and bingo on Thursday. This is a must visit. Try the Tega Haze! One of my favorite IPAs read more

From one New Yorker to another, this place slaps! The beer is great (or so I'm told by my gluten friendly friends) and there is always a GF cider option on tap. They also have cocktails for the non-beer crowd. read more

Great selection of their own brews and a high quality full bar for those who aren't into beer.

What a great addition to the fort mill/tega cay community! We loved the tacos and the beer! Our pup enjoyed the outdoors too! read more

It actually PAINS me to give this place 2 stars. I want nothing more in life than to support locally owned businesses and Tega Cay really needs them. However, after 2 lackluster visits 2 stars is the best I can do. First visit was on a date night. The place was packed so we sat at the bar. Service took a while but we gave them slack due to the crowd. I ordered a Makers on the rocks with a water back. The bartender had no idea what "water back" meant and thought I wanted my bourbon watered down. No big deal, I explained that it meant "water on the side". Then the bar tender gave me a top shelf bourbon (without asking) so my 1 drink came out to $20. We left not impressed but knew we wanted to give it another chance. Second visit was a week later on a Sunday afternoon. We brought our dog so looked to grab a place on the patio. The patio was full so we got a table just inside and were very happy they were accommodating. Here's to the bad - service sucked! Our food took forever, everything came out at different times, they didn't bring plates or napkins (we had to ask multiple servers for assistance on this). Our alcoholic beverages also were forgotten. What should have been the first thing on the table ended up coming out after the food. The food was great so kudos to the kitchen! But somewhere between the kitchen and our table sh*t went sideways. Here's the deal, I have multiple friends and neighbors that rave about this place. They say the owners are awesome and I am truly happy to have them in the community. I'll most likely try them a 3rd time in the hopes that the previous 2 visits were flukes. I really am rooting for you Mode-A! read more

Beer was fair. Atmosphere was lacking. Food was substandard for value. $9.50 for two 2.5-3 oz tacos and 2 TVs of beans or rice is bad. Beans tasted ok. Rice tasted like franks hot sauce. The ingredients used were quality for all food. However, there's a brewery with cantina just across the river that is substantially better for value. I'll only return to drink a beer. . . But I can get that in places with more atmosphere (stuff on walls TVs or games). read more

Just had dinner , couple cocktails and food ! Excellent service and they mix it up a bit to make it interesting and good. We will be back...

The food was truly awful. My hamburger was minuscule and eh, my wife's grilled cheese tasted like cardboard. For about $12 each, we were very, very disappointed. McDonald's would have been a huge upgrade. Their beer is okay, certainly not worth this place being a "night out" place. We did like the buffalo'd cauliflower appetizer, and the service was good, but that's about all. Have a beer, an app, and bail to somewhere else for dinner. Sorry, wanted this local place to be a hit. Huge miss. Btw, we tried here 3 times. They're out! read more

So happy to have an amazing brewery right in our own backyard! Staff is super friendly, give them a break if they seem busy- they are busy- this place is Hopping and they are doing their best to keep up with the crowds. Great beer - Great food. Highly recommend! This place is going to be a popular hotspot!!!!! read more

Food and service are excellent. Have introduced a couple of people and they like it as well. Wish I could comment on the beer, but I'm not a beer drinker. They have won a fair number of awards for their beer. read more

Three stars at best. Went for first time tonight. Service was super slow, not a fan of the three beers we tried and food was a 5 out of 10. They do sell half pours of beer so you can try a few. We liked the outdoor seating and roll up windows while dining. Love supporting local but better options based on my experience. Checked that box. On to somewhere else next time. read more

The beer was great, the food was great especially the Pretzel and the atmosphere was cool; the service was not very good. The waitress never did a quality check, did not notice when the glass was empty and when we ordered something to go, they forgot the chicken for the salad. I will probably go one more time and hope the service is better. read more

Just what Tega Cay needed. Great brews, good food and super friendly staff. Outdoor seating with heaters is a plus during Covid. This is our new weekly staple. read more

Second visit & very impressed again. Great service, great food, & beer. This time I had the fish tacos which were delicious! Hubby had the beef barbacoa bowl and loved it. We had the beer battered pickles for starter again & love the spicy batter & dill ranch dipping sauce. So glad to have a great place in Tega Cay. read more

Love their beers! All the the MAB beers are consistently good... we look forwArd to going and trying new releases but always have our go to favorites (Currently Tega Haze and Beer for Tacos). Great atmosphere. Love their "bar" food. I am a foodie and would not recommend going here strictly for a food experience. Perfect however to grab a beer and chill! read more

Nice building was clean and spacious but It was a little weird that there was a kids birthday party going on in a bar... Ordered a few beers which were about average, nothing spectacular. Also ordered food, which again was nothing spectacular. Typical bar food, I won't be too judgemental because based on the menu offerings my guess is that they have a limited kitchen. Place was empty and service was definitely lacking. Had to ask for things missing from our food order, had to flag someone down for refills, after waiting over 30 minutes with no contact I had to flag someone down so we could close our tab. Staff was more interested in sitting on stools at the end of the bar on their phones and computers than watching the guests. I probably could have just walked out without paying and they wouldn't have noticed. Building is big and spacious with garage doors that open so we look forward to trying again when weather is nice. read more

Fun place. Space is great. Full bar to go along with interesting but average beer. Food is pretty good. Dishes lean southwestern. Would give Model A a 5 if staff was better. There is a palpable tension among the folks that work here. Doesn't feel welcoming. Not very nice folks. read more

Theplace is nice, good food and beer, however they allow unruly and loud children to run amuck. I have kids and grandkids but I never allows them to disturb other patrons. M6 friends and I agree that we will not be going back. It's sad because we lost a brewery in Ft. Mill due to the Sam reasons (Spectrum). They also had great beers but it was also a kids playground. Sad really. We now go to Rock Hill here this situation is not tolerated. read more

Took the family to Model A and must say we were very impressed with this place. The Taco's were really good and tried several beers and each one was flavorful, I liked the Golden Monkey. The place had a great vibe and friendly staff atmosphere. read more

They may have been very busy but the staff was up for the challenge. We never felt left out

Great addition to the Tega cay area with good beer and great food. Really enjoy the hot chicken!

The tacos amazing!!! Prob the best I have had. The staff overwhelmed but polite and attentive. The hostess was no where to be found we had to wait to sit down for 15 mins till she appeared. The beer selection was ok but there we no descriptions on the menu. Also I recommend sun glasses if you go during the day. The sun really shines in there! read more
